An Adjustable Keel.

Leonard o. Smith of Philadelphia, Pa,
is the inventor of keel for sailing vessels
that can be adjusted to the tack on which
the craft is sailing. This is accomplished
by the use of plate hinged to the hull at
point below the center of gravity. To
use this plate the navigator has only to
move lever that passes through the hull

fresh air without any special risk, provided
the current does not strike them too di-
rectly. The danger from want of proper
ventilation is decidedly greater. Deep in
halations of air at the open window, taken
gently through the nose, impart an en-
hvening and tonic influence to the whole
nervous system, which can soon be demon
strated by personal experiment.

Genesis of the steam-Carriaee.

"The genesis of the steam carriage is ia
miliar," says B. F. Spaldlng in Cassiers
Magazine. 1T may be said that we owe
its first naturalization to Cugnot, who was
born in France in 1923, and died in 1904.
When he was 40 years old he constructed
a steam-carriage, using steam at high
pressure, which carried persons at the rate
OF two or three miles an hour, in an exhi-
bition which he made OF it before Marshal
Sake; but the boiler was so limited in ca
pacity that after every twelve or fifteen
minutes he was obliged to stop to recruit
its exhausted energies. Improving upon
this he built another, but unfortunately
while whirling through the streets at the
reckless speed of three miles an hour it
upset, and being looked upon with disfa-
vor by the populace it was condemned,
not from any inherent defect, but through
prejudice. Fortunately it was preserved,
as it deserved to be, and may now he seen

Big Failure in Chicago.

CHICAGO. Aug. A. Nothing in years
has caused sucha furry in commercial
circles rs the collapse of Moore Bros,
III their efforts to maintain control of
the Diamond Match Company and
New York Biscuit G, mpany. The
striking feature of the failure is the
fact the Stock Exchange for the first
time in its history adjourned indeti-
nltely to-day without doing dollars
worth of business.
The following notice was posted:
aFhe Chicago Stock Exchange has
adjourned subject to the action of
the Governing Committee" In the
corridors were excited groups of
brokers' and traders discussing the
situation. Everyone connected with
the exchuBge was endeavorlng to con-
vince everybody else that there was
no cause for alarm. They announced
that the officials OF the exchange we're
endeavorlDg to form a pool to buy up
the stock Of Moore Brothers to hold
it until the furry is over. ...
At a meeting of the Governing
COMMITTEE, a resolution was adopted
calling for the appointment by the
President Of committee of four to
confer with the bankers of Chicago
and Moore Brothers to arrange upon
basis of settlement. It is estimated
that Moore Brothers lost between a.
100000 and s6,OO0,OOO in the Diamond
Match deal. Some say it wiped out
every cent Of their fortune.
The anxiety Of the banks is not 80
great regarding the Diamond Match
loans as regarding the New York Bis
cult, which was marked up from thirty
to over par. There is hardly rich
man in town not in. some way inter-
'ested. usually money lenders. Boston
and Baltimore are largely interested.

ment will be one of the best adver-

will be talked of all over the State for

OF Princetonites is proverbial, but the
