Hollow Spars.


The use Of hollow spars for boats de-
signed to attain great speed has intro
duced new and novel industry requir-
ing workmanship of the finest charac-
ter. The stick for this purpose is re.
quired to be of exceptionally fine and
straight grain, and after being roughly
shaped is split longitudinally from end
to end; the center of each of. the halves
is then followed out, and greater or
less amount is removed, according to
the intended location of the spar, the
upper spars being much the lighter.
These hollows run nearly the length of
the spar, great care being essential to
have them follow the taper of the out
side of the spar exactly, to insure uni
form thickness at every point-ot course
when this has been done and the two
halves of the spar replaced in their
original position, a circular hole IL left
in the center of the spar, running neal
ly the whole length and following its
taper from end to end. After this the
two halves are fastened in place again
by means of wooden bowels, which fas-
ten the split together, being placed al
ternately on either side of the central
hollow, and both bowels and split are
carefully glued. These bowels VAR in
size with the size Of the spar, but are
usually as long as they can be made
without piercing its outside surface.
They are placed slightly nearer the cen
ter hollow thar the outside in order to
give them all the length possible. In
small spars the glue and the bowels
suffice, hut in large ones metal bands on
the outside are added. York Sun.

Next Monday morning we shall BE-
gin the publication Of a new serial
story Of uncommon interest, bearing
the above unique title. Not since The
TRIBUNE gave to its readers that telling
masterpiece Of DR.. A. Conan Doyle.
"A Study ia Scarlet" has there ap-
pearsd a romance which in our judg-
ment equals that whose publication
wo now take pleasure in announcing,
1t is Il complex story Of Il most peculiar
mystery, involving crime, passion, &C.

oniug of marked acutcness and the de-
scriptive quality to a rare degree, the

fiction's narrative as to form a most
effective work.
Ii is said OF The author Of this re-
markable story, Charles Howard Mon
tague, that he is the linoal descendant,

Of that inimitable master OF plot and
dramatic incident, Wilkie Collins.
That this is no exaggerated eulogy will
be apparent when the reader has fin
ished perusing Tho Face Of Rosen-
fell" We have chosen this particular
novel for serial publication only after a
careful Weighing Of the merits of many
manuscripts. We are confident that
our preference is not misplaced. Re-
member, the opening chapter will ap-
pear next Monday morning, to be fol-
lowed by daily instruments, with the
exception OF Saturdays. until COM

treat.

The rumors that have circulated

has, as may be seen by a news article
elsewhere, been accepted By the owners
of the local trolley system; and the
changes aud readjustments incident to
Mr.. Archer'o retirement have been, to a
certain extent. already decided upon.
Mr.. Archer, during his brief resi-
dence in Scranton, occupied a singu-
larly oneroug, exacting and delicate
position. 1t is probably not too much
10 say that no other railway manager
in the United States had n greater va
riety OF complicated details TO deal
with. In the degree Of mental appli-
cation required, il not in the magni
tude Of the scale Of his operations, Mr..
Archer labored under n strain that few
men can realize We believe it will be
the general verdict of S%crantonians
that, in view Of all these cirCum.
stances, no less than in consid.
GRAFTON of the general monetary
striugency which befell during
his administration, Mr.. Archer
acquitted himself with uncommon
success. He was liberal in his policy
and lavish in his expenditures upon
plant and equipment; but he had cor.
rectly gagged the wishes and the tenn
per Of the community with which he
was dealing; and he knew that small
methods, pursued in u pinoh-psnny
fashion, would not be tolerated. The
notable quickening OF local trade ac-
~tivities that was being experienced up
to the time of the panic of one year ago
was due in no small degree to Mr..
Archer's expansive policy in reaching
out for suburban connections, and in
adding rapidly to the inhowing chan
nels of quick and cheap intercommuni.
cation.
We shall extend to Mr.. Archer's sue
! %cessor, when he shall be permanently
| domiciled among us. the same greeting
that was accorded the retiring man
ager. W. shall judge him by his
works. II they be liberal, generous
and in touch with the public spirited
ness of this rapidly growing city and
community, he will receive the praise
that will justly be his due. II not, he
will hear things that will not be pleas
ant. The people of Scranton have ex-
tended to the Scranton Traction com
pany, upon the pledge Of q good and
cheap service, privileges worth many
hundreds of thousands of dollars, That
service they propose to have. II Mr.,
Archer's successor is u man equal to
the emergency, it will prevent u large
amount of friction and UNPLEASANT

ductions and decreased employment
for suffering labor. II it can be DEM
oastrated that the economic interests
of the community known as the Wy

separated by county boundaries. we
shall be ready then to help to draw o
political dead line for the guidance OF

sides. "
The whole amount Of it ia that it be-
hooves Republicans everywhere to put
their best men forward and to support
them, when fairly nominated, with un'

Whatever tends in any locality to add
needless disorder to the Republican
canvass is to be deplored by friends
of good government everywhere; for it
is liable at any time to develop into a
national misfortune. The fact that in

be a disposition 70 resent as 'imperti-

The Concern of All.


The esteemed Wilkes. Barre News.
Dealer can scarcely have weighed the
full significance of its words when it
intimates that the residents of one
county have no proper concern in the
political activities of another. If to
offer we'll .intentioned advice without
expense be "a piece of impertinence"
we should dislike to be assigned to
compute the number Of pieces of i'm
pertinence stocked up by the sprightly
News.D Dealer In its ever readable COM
ments on Democratic politics in Lacka-
wanna. Infallibility is not claimed
for any resident of either county; but
it often occurs that an observer of
events who lives beyond the Influences
of local prejudice or other causes Of a
warped vision can discern features in a
distant political fight not Visible to

particularly true when politics takes
on the opera bouffe aspects invariably
