A New Travelling Crane.

A travelling cantileyer crane will be
used for erecting the battleship Con

Navy Yard, says the Engineering
News. 1t will consist of a double truss
girder oil feet 21a inches long over all,
with trolley track of 20 feet gauge
The trolley travel will be 1913 feet, or
30 feet to each side of the centre. The
crane girder will travel on a track of
20 feet gauge supported on a steel
trestle about 60 feet high and 513 feet
long over all. The trolley will thus
have a clear working space of 50 feet
wide and 513 feet long on each side
of the trestle structure. The rise of the
hook is 81 feet Z inches. The capacity
Of the crane is 10000 pounds at go
feet at each side of the centre, and 49,
900 pounds at 80 feet either side of the
centre. The power will be sufficient to
give a hosting speed of 125 feet per
minute for a load of 10000 pounds, OF
$50 feet or 700 feet respectively for
loads of 10000 or 1000 pounds. The
trolley travel will be 400 to 500 feet pei
minute, and the bridge travel 400 to
700 feet according to the load.

Wearing of Combs.

Combs are still as important rs ever
in arranging the couture; in fact, it
may be said that tortoise shell combs,
both side and back, have come to stay.
Women of all stations wear them,
though they differ in quality and orna-
mentation, and one would as soon
think of attempting to do up ones hair
without hairpins as without these con-
yenient combs
The two side pieces are rather long
and curved, while the one which is in
tended to hold up Seeding" locks is
shorter, but has large teeth. Whether
the coiffure is high or low, a set of
three is used, the only difference being
that in the former case the back comb
is thrust in rather low across the head
while with the latter style this comb
is placed at the crown of the head. and
is used to hold the pompadour roll in
place.-Philadelphia Press.

To Keep a Good Figure.

Women who wish to preserve the
slimness and contour of their figures
must begin by learning to stand we'll
That is explained to mean the throw
ing forward and upward of the chest
the fattening of the back and shoulder
blades held in their proper places, and
the definite curying of the small of the
back, thus throwing the whole weight
of the body on the hips, says the Chi
cago Inter-Ocean.
This, in a great measure, preserves
the figure, because it keeps the muscles
firm and well strung and prevents the
sinking down of the flesh around the
waist, so common in women over thir-
ty, which is perfectly easy to escape.
Another thing to avoid is the bad habit
of going upstairs, as most women do,
bent forward, with the chest contract.
