Sofas to Date.

A revival and a novelty are Just
now attracting attention where furni-
ture is sold. One is a sofa bed, up
holstered in tapestry, and very comfor-
table whether occupied as a sofa or
bed.
1t corresponds to the bed of the
three-quarter width when the back is
let down. At S65 a very handsome
specimen may be had, the end pieces,
OF handsome wood, being solid, even
massive, Down in the foundation
there's room for storing the bedding.
1t may be had as low as $3.50. 1t is an
improvement rather than an absolute
novelty.
More of novelty is the handsomely
upholstered leather sofa with drop ends
called adjustable. Most persons could
stretch out on Il with the ends up, but
with them let down, even the cham
pion tall man could stretch his bones
with comfort. This splendid piece Of
furniture cost $45 and up and is a
most desirable library piece.
There seems to be an dndeniable ten
dency toward the massive in furniture.

Thirteen Holstein cows belonging
to. Dairyman Claude Peters, Of Mar
tinsburg, Pa, were taken sick yester-
day, dying on after the other. Peters
was mystihed till this morning, when
telephone linemen came to his house
and asked what had become OF the
thirty sticks OF dynamite they had
left in a meadow, Investigation
showed the cattle had eaten the dy-
Mantle, stick by stick and fought over
it, None of the animals lived more

A TRAIN LIKE A FISH.
Covered With Scales Of Metal 70 Re.
duee Wind Resistance.


At the recent speed trials on the
Berlin-Zossen road it was found that
the wind resistance to a train under
speed was one of the most serious OBJ.
stacles in the way of obtaining the de.
sired results. 1t was found that while
at a speed Of 30 miles per hour this
resistance on a still day was about
67.2 pounds per square meter of the
surface of the front end of the car,
the rate increased very rapidly with
the augmentation of speed, SO that at
pace of 99.7 miles the resistance
rose to 1875 pounds per square me-
ter of impinging surface. Every pro-
iecting part, every window, door or
other indentation which could form a
pocket to catch the wind created by
such high velocities, increased the re-
sistance to be overcome, so that In all
future experiments, the company of
rapid transit will require that the
factor Of air resistance shall be taken
into careful account.
These experiments will be continu-
ed and the matter Of wind pressure
will be looked after in the construc-
ton Of train, which will be tried
next year on this line. This IL to be
done by enveloping the engine and
train, from pilot to rear platform, In a
shield OF sheet steel. jointed so as to
secure hexibility in passing curves,
and so constructed as to inclose the
locomotive and cars In a continuous
tube, uniform throughout in size and
presenting no projecting irregularity
which shall catch the resisting air.
The front Of the engine will be point
ed or wedge-shaped. the sheath will
iaclose as far as possible the running
gear Of the cars, and even the wheels
of both engine and cars will be closed
disks OF metal instead of, as now,
spoked wheels with openings to
catch the air
The purpose Of the competition is
to secure a design of train accommo.
dating 100 passengers and their bag
gage, which shall make a speed Of rs
miles an hour under the conditions Of
roadbed now existing on the Prussian
State Railways.

GUARD WAS NOT PARADED.
Laxity of Custom at Fort Totten
Brought Out in Court Martial.

sergt. William A. Mansfield, SOth Com
general court-martial convened at Fort
Totten, N. Y, and found guilty Of neglect
Of duty, to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline, was sentenced to be re-
duced to the grade of private and to be
confined at hard labor at such post as his
company may be serving, for a period Of
six months, and to forfeit to the United
the same period.
Gen. Chaffee, commanding the Depart
ment Of the East, in reviewing this case,
said:
1.-THE accused testified that in his eighteen
months service at Fort Schuyler, N. Y, he
had never paraded the guard and prisoners
at reveille nor seen it paraded during that
time. His testimony was not rebutted and
1t Is a fair inference that 1t was not the
custom to parade the guard and prisoners
at reveille. On a revision Of the case the
court remarked that, in its opinion, If the
accused had not done 1t nor seen it DONE
it did not excuse him from a duty explicitly
the officer of the day visits the guard at
reveille or not. This Is admitted but in
the opinion of the reviewing authority this
mono compliance, in this particular, with the
requirements of the Guard Manual should
have been sooner discovered and corrected
by the officer of the day. Subject to the
foregoing remarks the sentence was ap-
proved March 16, 1908, but the confinement
and forfeiture reduced to three months and
ten dollars per month for the same period
and, as thus mitigated, will be duly exc
cuted"

reference in which the invention is one Of
great importance in the manufacture of
divided lasts used for making Shoes
Months were spent in taking testimony and
many thousand dollars were expended in
the fight. Walter E. Trufant of Whitman,
Mass; oliver A. Miller, as assignee Of
Jonathan T. Brown Of Brockton, Mass, and
Edwin J. Prindle Of this city filed appli-
cations in the patent Office for a method Of
turning lasts by which interchangeable fore
parts or heel parts can be made so accu-
rately that any fore part will fit upon any
other heel part of the corresponding size
and an interference was declared to deter
mine which of the parties named should
have the patent. The examiner of inter-
ferences Of the patent Office has just decid-
ed that Edwin ]. Prindle is entitled to the
patent, and not either of the Others

CONFERENCE TO BE HELD.
Efforts to Meet Complications Regard
ing Highway Bridge Construction.

At the suggestion of Secretary Root, Gem
eral Gillespie, chief of engineers, has writ
ten a letter to Mr.. Burnham Of Chicago,
requesting him to come to Washington at
his earliest convenience, for the purpose
OF comforting with the Secretary of War
and officers Of the Corps of Engineers in
regard to the best method Of solving the
complications connected with the construc-
ton Of the proposed highway bridge across
the Potomac. Mr.. Burnham is a member
Of the commission appointed by the United
States Senate to devise scheme of park
development in the District. He is also the
consulting architect of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for the construction of
the proposed union station on Massachu-
sets avenue.
Because of his active interest in the
development of the park system in Wash
trgton, Secretary Root consulted him
freely with regard to the original plans for
the Pennsylvania railroad bridge across the
Potomac and also with regard to the plans
for the highway bridge. The plans for
both these bridges were approved by the
War Department on the recommendation
of Mr.. Durham, and it was mainly at his
suggestion that it was decided to build
the highway bridge on exactly the same
plans as the railroad bridge.
Bids were recently opened by Col. Allen,
the engineer officer in charge of the mat
ter, for the construction of the highway
bridge, and he reported to the department
that all the bids, six in number, were in
excess of the available funds. Three Of
the bids received were from the Scherzer
Roller Lift Bridge Company of Chicago.
but none of them according to the
specifications. Although these bids were
within the total appropriation for the
bridge they were all slightly in excess of
the amount available for the bridge proper,
according to Col. Allen.
In view Of these facts Col. Allen recon-
mended the rejection Of all the bids re-
ceived and General Gillespie approved the
recommendation.
The officials of the War Department have
practically concluded that it is impossible
to build the bridge according to the ap-
proved plans within the limits Of the avail
able appropriation. They are now seriously
considering the question Of dispensing with
the present plan altogether and opening the
matter to the general competition of bridge
builders. It is with view to the execution
Of some such plan that Mr.. Burnham has
been summoned to Washington. The au-
thorittes are DESTROYS of proceeding with
the work as soon as possible, and they
want to avoid the necessity of awaiting an
additional appropriation by Congress. There
are $996,O0O available for the bridge and
some Of the officials are confident that a
suitable bridge can be built for that
amount.

Mems Hats.

Men are proverbially averse to
shopping. Time is too valuable with
them to afford many minutes to the
details of dress. They are inclined
to be satisfied with the first thing
shown them if it is at all fit. Espe-
clally is this true of the hat.
Selling hats properly - intelli-
gent y-is business in itself, and
one in which the masters are few.

by each individual, and to inpart
the knowledge honestly, are two of
the qualities of a master halter.

evidence here.
