Chessmen of Human Bones.

Living chess lost its novelty years
ago, and men have played the Royal
game with pieces carved from most
inanimate objects, mounted and
adorned with the jewels of the world;
but it has probably been left to the
close of the 10Th century for set OF
men to be carved out of the bones of
deVotee to the game, and to be finally
offered as prize to the world at large.
1t occurred to a Herr Bredwait, who,
being bequeathed of his bones to a
Partisan maker of chess figures, to be
converted into men with the most
elaborate carvings it was possible to
execute, the bones of the arms AMI
hands being utilized for this purpose,
a sufficienr sum of money being left.
In his disposition he arranged that
the set should become the property
of one who was making an unusual
stir in the chess world at the time,
and two friends were named to see
that the strange bequest was duly
executed. At the time when the set
was completed, Nine. Antoinette Tre-
belli, the wellknown prima donna,
demonstrated that she fulfilled the
conditions indicated. and the judges
were at last compelled to admit the
peculiar set had been won by the pop
ular singer. Nine. Trebelli is exceed
ingly proud of her latest acquisition.
She permits her personal friends to
inspect the treasure. but one must
have an International reputation as a
chessman to BE- permitted to handle
the set Each man is provided with a.
special velvet pocket where he re-
poses when not in use. the complete
set forming one of the most cherished
possessions of the prima donna.

In discussing the development of the
automobile attention has been largely
directed to it's possible displacement of
the horse in vehicles used for urban
purposes. The possible competition Of
such vehicles with the present street
cars, however, appears to have re-
ceived little attention. 1t is plainly OBJ
vious that the perfection of a small
but powerful storage battery for auto
mobiles, such as Mr.. Edison is now en-
gagged upon, and the consequent intro
duction of smooth pavements in city
streets, must necessarily affect the
traction question in all the larger
cities. Will the perfected automobile.
with smoothly paved streets, drive the
tram car with it's fixed tracks fro 1
city thoroughfares?

To Brigten Carpets.

When carpet begins to lose its col
ors, If warm water and ammonia are
at once applied they will restore them.
Apply as follows: Into a pailful of
warm water Sut about three or four
tablespoonfulT of ammonia, and with
a soft flannel .;loth dipped in this am
monia water 90 over the entire car
pet, rubbing vigorously. AS each por-
tion of the caloet within your reach
is washed, rub it dry With another
cloth. When this entire carpet is gone
over, open windisws and doors and let
the carpet dry and air thoroughly.
This treatment N1ll be found to have
effectually renovated the carpet except
1t contains shades of green which will
not bear ammonia Qt is well to try
a small portion of tbs O. pet frstl in
which case dry salt wei rubbed in
and then vigorously swfpt cut will
freshen and help its a)pearance.-

Dangerous Mattresses.

When the Health Department OF the
large cities are searching for the un-
sanitary it would be well to look into
the methods of the cheap mattress
makers. An excelsior mattress, which
is the cheapest thing on the market
to-day, has usually an outer layer of
shoGdy, an dthis shoddy is about the
worst possible material that can be
found, produced by a ragpicking ma
chin which grinds up the filthiest
rags that the dirtiest ragpicSers may
gather. Imagine its character when
it is sold for one and half cents 4
pound. These rags possess the disease
germs Of nearly every complaint that
can be found in cur large cities. To
be sure, in the manufacture Of other
fabrics great deal of shoddy is used.
but it is thoroughly dyed and Cfsin-
fected, but the stuff used in many of
the cheap mattresses is invariably in
its natural and most virulcnt state and
a crying menace to life. 1t is the
opinion of 4 man closely identified
with this trade that it is SUBJECT for
the health authorities to investigated

ROUEN'S OVERHEAD FERRY,
How IA French City Solved a Rapid Tran.
sit Problem.

How IA French City Solved a Rapid Tran.
sit Problem.
Just now. when SO much is being
said of bridges and tunnels between
Manhattan and Brooklyn, it is interest.
ing to note how the city of Rouen, in
France, has solved for itself, at least,
the problem Of trans-river communica-
ton. The city lies on the Seine, but
a short distance from the sea, and
many of the conditions there are SINH
lar to those prevailing in the North
and East rivers here. In the first
place, the Seine is very busy with
shipping, and the chief aim of the en-
gineers was to build a bridge that
would least interfere with naviga-
ton. A draw was considered imprac-
ticable because of the delay that would
follow its frequent opening and shut
ting, and bridge $50 feet above
water, SO as to clear all shipping, was
held to be too costly on account of tho
approaches. So the engineers
planned an overhead ferry, or. as they
call it, "pont transbordeur," which
is described in report just made by
the American vice-consul at Rouen.
The structure is of especial interest
as being the first of its kind, though
the principle has been used before in
some very small bridges. The essen
tial part of the system may be ce-
scribed as a horizontal railway sup
ported by bridge spanning the chan
mel and built up at such q height as
will allow the tallest-masted vessels
frequenting the channel to pass
beneath The platform Of the bridge
carries the lines of rails over which a
carriage on small wheels rolls, the
number of wheels varying with the
weight to be carried. The rollers are
connected with movable frame un-
der the line of rails. which may freely
move in a longitudinal direction quite
close to the platform and from one end
to the other of same. In order to make
this vehicle of practical use, iron rods
or cables are attached to the frame
above mentioned, the object Of these
being to carry a platform or carrier
from shore to shore. hanging at the
same level as that of the quays on
each bank. but in any case above high
water and the reach of waves.
There is thus little railway for
crossing the river, with this difference,
that the body Of the vehicle, instead Of
being above the rails and wheels as
usual is some 140 or 160 feet below
these. 1t possesses. nevertheless. the
speed and regularity Of motion which
can be obtained on any straight and
horizontal railway line. with the ad-
vantage that, thanks to its long sus-
pension, this new kind of wagon en-
joys smoother motion than the best
railway coaches.
Any kind or motive power may be
used to move the car, cable driven by
steam, compressed air, gas, or, better
still, electricity. But in the last case
the dynamo. instead Of being erected
on shore. as the steam-engne, IS pre-
ferably placed on the movable frame,
which it carries along with itself by
means of pinion working into the
teeth of rack fixed to the bridge

The publication in England of such
little incidents as the following will
do more to turn the English against
any possible scheme of conscription

tific and economic arguments. n

Rhe other, capable workman, sup

was taken away to serve his
term in the army, and the moth
er, who was nearly blind, was
compelled to make out as well as she
could. During the recent cold spell
she broke down completely. and she
and her cripple son nearly starved.
One day she complained more bitterly
than usual against the conscription
laws which compelled the younger son
to serve, although so far as supporting
the family was concerned he was
really the elder, who, in the case of
having q widowed mother, is exempt.
She went out to get some work, and
when she returned she discovered that
the cripple had killed himself in order
that his brother might take his place
as the head of the family and support
his mother.
