Professor Woodwork describes in a
scientific paper a new movement for
writers with the pen, for which he
claims decided advantages over the
older methods. He suggests that the
paper be placed so as tt slant to the
right instead OF to the left, when the
horizontal lines may be followed by
the whole arm, in the direction of the
forearm, back toward the flank. Mean
while impart to the wrist and fore
arm q back and forth motion, which
shall produce the vertical strokes o.
the letters. This method, he says, will
make rapid writing freer~ and more
legible, with no tendency to degen-
crate into the fat serawl. The move
ment has another advantage in that
1t may be taught with comparative
ease to the left hand.

The ROOF SAGGED DOWN
Considerable Amount Of Damage
Done at the Big Barn of the
Consumers Ice Company

A peculiar accident. the repairing of
which will cost several hundred dollars,
took place yesterday morning, when the
hayloft in the barn of the Consumers
Ice company, on Adams avenue, near
the new armory, collapsed and an in
stant later a partial break down of the
roof occurred.
Several men who were working on the
second floor had a narrow escape from
being caught under the planking and
load of hay and straw, which crashed
through onto the second floor. The
building is a long, three-story struc-
ture. On the first floor are stalled the
company's large number of horses, on
the second floor are stationed the
wagons, and the third floor is used as
a loft and general repository for ma :
chinery and other articles.
Yesterday morning, about Q o'clock,
i've men were at work cleaning the
nineteen wagons on the second floor.
They were Henry Hallorn, Peter HUI
bert. Fred Swingle. Henry Bevert and
Miles Gilroy. Suddenly they heard an
ominous crack, and this was followed
by another sharp cracking sound.
Look out, boys" shouted one of the
men, realizing what was happening
look out, the girder's smashing"
His companions did not stop to argue
the question. but lost no time in making
for the staircase leading to the ground
floor. They had no sooner reached IL
when there was loud report, and the
hayloft had fallen in. An instant later
there was another sudden, violent snap
and large portion Of the roof had also
collapsed. The accident was caused by
the breaking of large forty foot
eirder running under the third story
floor and forming one of the supports
Of a large roof truss.
The breaking of it precipitated a
large portion of the lofts contents onto
the second floor. and also resulted in
the breaking of the truss. The cause
of the girder's giving way was the
ovcrtaxing of the lofts capacity. There
were three fun carloads Of hay and
straw in it, ana also a large quantity
of machinery. The portion of the loft
which caved in was partially propped
up during the day, and today work ill
be begun on repairing the break.
The breakdown i'm the roof occurred
IN almost exactly its center, and covers
an area of about thirty-two feet. I'M
medAtely after the collapse occurred
the employees removed from the second
floor all the wagons, save those which
We're wedged in by the falling timbers.
-Four wagons were badly damaged, two
of them irretrievably so.

of the coal department of the Della

that arise daily with reference to the
mining and cleaning of anthracite
coal, one begins to have something Of
an idea of the work the position en-

Mr.. Rose was born in Orange county,

His next work was with the Port Jer-
Wis Water company, then installing its
plant, and when that was completed
he accepted a position with the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western and
was on the corps of engineers which
laid out the road from Binghamton to
Buffalo.
Later he was made assistant chief
engineer of the company and Jan. /,
