DESIGNED HIS OWN TOMB.
Admiral Melville Has Also Had II
Carved and Erected.

Rear Admiral George w. Melville. chief
Of the naval bureau of steam engineering.
is a man of original IDEAS. An example Of
this characteristic is afforded by his action
In designing and supervising the erection Of
his own sarcophagus in the National ceme-
terry at Arlington. He has no premonition
of an early death. but recognizes the adj
vantages Of being prepared for the inev-
table.
To remove all doubt as to where his body
should lie If buried ashore. the admiral
last year took advantage Of the privilege
accorded to every officer Of the army or
navy who fought to preserve the Union and
selected the site where the monument now
stands on a commanding knoll near the
graves of Sheridan and Crook, overlooking
the city of Washington. The sarcophagus
is simple in style and thoroughly character
istlc Of the admirals vigorous personality.
The monument rests upon a foundation
of concrete six feet deep, twelve feet long
and eight feet wide. The first layer of
white marble is finished with single curve
from the base, and upon this rests the first
base stone. weighing about eight tons. This
supports the sarcophagus proper. a solid
piece of marble cored out by a special
stone drilling machine for the reception of
the burial casket. The cap-stone, which
weighs six and one-half tons, has four
beveed facets. The weight Of the entire
monument is approximately fifty tons.
When the cap-stone is permanently ad-
justed in position after the admiraTs death
an appropriate symbol of his lifelong use
fulness will surmount the structure, and
upon each of the four facets there will be
incised his corps device in the naval service
and two five-pointed stars. indicative Of his
rank The symbol proposed for the top is a
marble terrestrial globe. three feet in diam
eter, canted % degrees, to show the arctic
regions In the event that his wishes in
this respect are carried out. it is likely the
following lines will be inscribed on the
monument:
Not here! The Wild winds whistIing blasts
Have strewn the heroic ashes DER hill and dale;
To tint the wild flowers varied hue
To enrich the grass and make another blade to
From useful life to useful eternity"

Spiral Car Springs.
From the Age of Steel.

ioh tne age Oh steel.
The now-famous car spiral Spring was
the invention Of Aaron French, who recent
ly died in Pittsburg. Previous to his in
vention. rubber balls were used to allay the
Jolting OF cars. He began business with
Calvin Wells in the manufacture of spiral
springs In small shop opposite the union
depot at Pittsburg. Four years later. OWING
to rapidly undressing trade, the present
works were started at Liberty avenue. The
factory was known as No. 1, but 1t has
been added to until the works now cover
the blocks between Goth and 22d street
also large works on Smallman street
The business has grown to immense propor-
tons. Aaron French was born in 1S23 at
Wadsworth. Ohio. He left school at the
age Of twelve years to work on a farm
and year later learned the blacksmith
trade. He subsequently lived in a number
of cities in the west before locating In Pitts
burg. and was resident Of Racine Wis
when the civil war broke out In 1862 he

only political office he ever held. He then
removed to Pittsburg and embarked in the

he became a prominent member in social
circles and was noted for his generous con-
tributons to charity. especially to educa-

the Pittsburg chamber of commerce and

No, L don't believe III do it, replied

II don't believe you'll get better offer

were covered with young peaches. and
about that time drought set in and things
