seen to have the capacity Of a pint

for his stoicism. In 1916. when the

he finally fell into their hands. The

French Inventor Declares That
Aerial Ferry In Infringement ON
His Patents.
Duluth, Aug. 3o.-A French engineer
who achieved fame as q result of his
invention of the aerial bridge which
spans the Seine at Roen. France, de-
clares that the proposed aerial bridge
for the Duluth ship canal is an in
fringement on his patents, and that
he will begin litigation to protect his
rights. All Of the Arnodean aerial
ferry patents are Of the same general
description. Between pillars a sort Of
suspension bridge is built, consisting
or a horizontal platform sdppsrted by
steel cables stretched between the
submits of the pillars. Upon this
platform are small railroad tracks,
along which roll wheels carrying the
vertical cables to which the passenger
car is attached and which moves above
the water on a level with the piers.
The Duluth aerial bridge, while de-
signed along similar lines. will be rad
ically different and stronger Ii Is d
stiff truss design, not a suspension
bridge idea, as invented by Arnoden.
Duluth officials feel the city is safe
from successful litigation on account
Of the alleged infringement.

IS q large platform, inclosed all the

nm its resemblance to an ordinary in
closure of a suburban garden, there
are green leaves to be seen within.
These floating yards are used by

tropjcal fruits spoil so easily in hot
weather that they must not be packed
closely. even for an hour. So they
are put on these floats in such a way

game warden approached them and
accused them OF shooting chickens.
They denied this, n the game ward

them with him. Later in the evening
Mr.. Heinrich wore out a warrant and
Brown was placed under arrest on the
charge of larceny. He appeared in po-
lice court and requested that the case
be postponed until Sept. 8, as he de-
sired to have State Game Warmer
Fullerton and one Of the representa-
tives Of the attorney general present.
The request was granted by the court
and Brown was released after putting
up a bond Of 800. The guns were at

The startling charge that many New

terranean apartments under great
office buildings in New York because
their mothers for years have never
seen the light of day is made by the
Rev. DR.. David NJ. Steele, one of the
curates of st. Bartholomew's parish.
Or, Steele says: How many know
that some of the great office build
ings have under them apartments for
fifty families, and that in these fam
lilies children are sometimes born
blind, because their mothers for whole
years never see daylight? How many
know that on the roofs of these build
ings there are families of ~janitors
whose ~six-year-old children have never
stepped upon the ground?" DR.. Steele
