Machine for Haneinr psper.


Below we illustrate the latest thing
in the way of automatic machinery
the paper-hanger, i-.vented by Julius
M. Glickman of Cleveland, O. Accord
ing to the inventor, about all the oper
ator of this apparatus has to do is to
turn the crank and place the machine
in new position after each piece of
paper is attached to the wall. The pa
per is placed in the machine in sin
gle roll and is automatically cut to the
proper length, paste applied and the
paper put on the walls while the oper-
ator is doing nothing but revolving the
wheels by means of the crank The
invention consists of carriage ar
ranged to travel on vertical track
and carrying a roll of paper, a paste
holder, a rotary pastebrush, pressure
brushes and a knife for severing the
paper at the proper moment. The roll
of paper in unwinding is made to come
in contact with the paste-carrying
brush, passing thence to the wall. The
turning of the crank causes the sup
porting carriage to rise in it's toothed
guides, carrying the pressure brushes
across the paper as fast as it is put in
position. When the top of the room
is reached the stoppage of the car
riage is utilized to throw the long
knife blade into slot and sever the
paper. The carriage is then pulled

Inventor of the Calliope

Joshua c. Stoddard, who died the
other day at Springfield, Mass, at 81
years of age, was said to be the in.
ventor of the steam calliope, the pat.
ent of which, it is claimed, was stolen
from him by another man. The in
strument which was made by him over
forty years ago was much like the
ones now used. Mr.. Stoddard was al
ways unfortunate with his inventions
financially His latest device was a
fire escape, but it never became prac,
teal. His chief labor for many years
was the care of his hives of bees and
the production of honey, in which he
was an expert. Mr.. Stoddard was
somewhat eccentric and religiously in
clined, having contributed to religious
newspapers. In appearance he was a
striking patriarchal figure, with his
long white beard and visionary eyes,
which betokened the enthusiast.

Pocket Catches Erasinv.

IN correcting an error. In spite of the
utmost care portion of the dirt from
each erasure falls into the machine,
not only causing it to have an untidy
appearance, but, worse still, tending
to greatly increase the natural wear
of the mechanism. To get rid of this
dirt, it is customary to have the ma
chine cleaned at intervals at consid-
cradle expense, and it is question
then if the machine is in proper shape,
as it would have to be taken almost
entirely to pieces to get out all the
fine particles. There is no doubt the
better plan would be to utilize the
neat little device shown in our illus
tration, consisting of pocket formed
at the lower edge of a slotted metal
plate to catch the crossings as they are
brushed from the paper. The upper
portion of the plate is curved to fit
against the roller, and the slot is so
shaped that the eraser can be moved
vertically or horizontally. The slot
ted plate pressed against the paper
holds it perfectly rigid under the fric-
ton of the roller, and, as the plate is
of thin sheet metal, it is an easy task
to brush the dirt into the pocket The
device will fit any machine, and is
easily adjusted against the platen over
the error. This is the invention of N.

Alpena. Mich, June 9.-One man
was killed, three probably fatally in

less seriously hurt by the wreck at
Black River Of a Detroit and Mack
NAV excursion train carrying over 500
people. The train, which was under
the auspices of the German Aid So

Seriously injured: John Mccarthy,

At Black River the tender jumped
the track, and when Engineer Hopper
set the air brakes the sudden stop
threw the first three coaches into the
ditch. The first car was cut in two,
and 1t was in this coach that Grosinski
met his death. The escape from death
OF others was miraculous. Grosinski's
little son occupied the same seat with

ROASTED British OFFICERS.
OFFICIAL Report Condemns Army Lead.
ers for Their Inefficiency.

London, June 9.-The report of the
committee on military education and
training, just issued, furnishes the
strongest official confederation of the
inefficiency of the officers of the Brit
ish army. The committees report,
which is based on The evidence of the
officers themselves, from the COM
mander-in-chief down, fills forty-eight
printed pages, with caustic criticisms
of the existing system. The witness
ses were unanimous IN saying that the
junior officers were lamentably denc-
lent in military knowledge and in zeal.
The committee finds that the young
officers will not work unless compelled
to do so, that "keenness is out of fash
ion," and that sit is not correct form"
The committee declares that many Of
ficers do not possess an elementary
education, and plaintively protests that
officers ought "at least to be able to
express themselves clearly and con-
cisely in their own language" The
report condemns the systems of both
Woolwich and Sandhurst, where educa-
ton Is far from satisfactory-th in
structors have no inducements to
teach the cadets, much less to work.
With the view of diminishing the
expenses of officers belonging to the
cavalry regiments, the report recon-
mends that polo tournaments, regi-
mental coaches and the keeping of
hounds be forbidden

Exp.cted Comets o, 1902.

Two periodic comets are expected to
return during the present year. The
first was Originally discovered by Ter
pie at Marseilles in 1869 and revolves
about the sun every five and half
years. 1t was independently discov-
cred by Swift in California in 1880
and was again found by Barnard at
the Lick Observatory in 1891. 1t was
not seen in 1886 and in 1897, nor be.
tween 1869 and 1880. 1t is expetce 1
to return early in December, 1902.
The second comet was discovered by
Swift in California in 1895, and its
period is about seven years. 1t is not
improbably identical with the comet
discovered by Messier at Marseilles in
ITO. 1t was expected to return in
1775, but in passing close to Jupiter
its orbit was greatly altered. 1t will
return toward the end of November
