Eugene Segar of the screen mill has in
vented a new style of screen, which he
calls 1.-THE Conqueror, as he expects it to
conquer everything in that line at present
on the market. The new design does
away with the side boards entirely and by
means OF spiral springs at the top and bot
tom gives the screen an extension of ten
inches so that it will fit windows from
twenty-six to thirty-six inches wide.
The spring also causes it to crowd so close |
ly against the casing that the most enact |
ated fly could never hope to gain an en- |
trance in that way. With no side boards,
light and air can circulate as freely as
though there were not screen In the win
dow, and light and air are important
items on hot, sultry day. People who
have examined "The Conqueror" pro-
nounce it the finest screen that they have
yet seen, and already orders for it are be-
ing received. Mr.. Segar has applied for a
patent, and Mr.. Burt is introducing the
new invention to the various dealers in
such commodities. More workmen are
being constantly employed at the mill,
and the business is steadily booming.
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle of the 18th
published an interesting letter from Mr..
Frank Chandler, who, with his cousin, AL.
bert EcKert Chandler and Mr.. Perry OF
has been bicycling through Eu-
rope. Mr.. Chandler, who yields the pen OF
a ready writer, gives graphic description I
Of their wheeling tour in France, Holland,
and Germany, and relates, as follows, an
amusing incident that occurred in the
early part OF their travels: at was the Gu
rious, fortified town OF Rocroi, near the
Belgian frontier, that found us this night,
and because the following day was SUM-
day and because we were somewhat lazy, I
we halted there and in SO doing were near
TO terminating our triumphal progress; c
Tor we were seen inspecting the ramparts a
Of the place and, being taken for German
spies, we were promptly brought before
he authorities, and it was only by the !
We succeeded in getting them to permit
IS to depart in peace the next day." At
he close of his letter, Mr.. Chandler says, !
AS wheeling adventure, our trip was !
glorious success, and will be bold enough !
% say that we enjoyed it more and saw
more for less money than we could have
lone in any other way" The travellers, a
when this letter was written, were Jour
leying homeward with the firm intention
II visiting the Old World again. c
