The Northwestern insists that
even with the interlocking switch
system for grade crossings they
would not be sufficient. It claims
that in approaching them trains
have to be kept under control to
the detriment of their speed and
that an element of human negli-
gence is involved in the operation
of the interlocking devices. II

In fact. when the trunk is open 1t is a
dressing case
One of the strangest patents for the week
was that granted to a man from Michigan
for burial purposes. The drawings are
quite ghoulish and show apparatus for low
ering collins into grave without the assist
ance of the grave diggers in their mourn
full black jackets and long robes
A young lady from England has obtained
a patent for cycling skirt, and the young
ladies who have seen 1t declare 1t Is one OF
the best IDEAS they have ever seen. The OBJ
ject of the invention is to prevent the flow
ing drapery toward the rear of the side
portions of the skirt from being swung
about ungracefully by the action OF the
knees on the forepart of the skirt when
pedaling. or from being blown about by
high wind This object is accomplished by
means of plaits or folds of the skirt. which
are retained in such position that they al
ways depend gracefully at either side OF
the dress guard of the back wheel, not
withstanding the movements of the riders
legs or the action of the wind.
A self-filing fountain pen is one OF the
practical inventions of the week. 1t was
granted to man from New York. Here
tofore the great trouble with fountain pens
has been that they have been self-emptying,
and, aside from the waste incident to their
use. they required filling by laborious
means attended with stained fingers and
often ruined clothes. These objections are
obviated in the new pen with the aid of
different forms of filters. SO that it is not
necessary to disconnect any portion OF the
pen in order to refill it.

and all other personal expenses out OF
their own funds. The officers detained in
Havana made their home at the Hotel In
glaterra and those examined at Key West
STAYED at the Key West Hotel. The hotel
bills amounted to about 500 in the case of
each OFFICER, and in due season were paid
by the fleet paymaster by direction of Ad-
miral Sampson and checked against the Of
ficers accounts. Notwithstanding the Maine
inquiry was concluded about eighteen
months ago, it is only recently that several
of the officers have been made aware OF
their indebtedness to the government by
reason of the turning up of the hotel bills
at the various pay officers to be deducted
from the pay of the officers concerned.
The incident has undoubtedly served to
assist the officers to remember the Maine. -
Some of the officers whose hotel bills
amount to more than $1G0 are Captain Sigs-
bee, Lieut. Commander Wainwright. Chap

Although the circumstances of the case
are exceptional, there is nothing unusual
in the method pursued by the pay depart
ment Under the regulations of the Navy
Department officers ordered in attendance
on naval courts are allowed mileage, but
are required to pay their hotel bills and
other expenses Speaking of the matter,
Pay Inspector Wright said:
People generally do not know that naval
officers are required to pay for their own
subsistence, whether af1oat or ashore The
treasury scruttnizes carefully anything like
a hotel bill in a naval officers account.

ceptional circumstances
1T was supposed that the claims for
subsistence for the Maine officers would be
so regarded. But the last Congress, which
was looked to to appropriate a fund to
meet these claims. failed to do SO. There
being no appropriation there was no pos
sible way of allowing them.
