UNIQUE COMPASS
LOCAL PATTERN MAKER IN
VENTS INSTRUMENT TO
MAKE OVAlS.
Device Which Has No Equal Makes
IL Possible to Describe Perfect
Ellipsc.

A new device, which may be term
ed an "oval compass" is the result
of a dream which capped the climax
of hideous nightmare which Mr.
Harry Judd. the well-known |. C.
pattern maker. suffered Monday
night.
Mechanics Often have occasion to
describe ovals, egg-shaped or ellipse
figures, of all sizes, and it is impos-
sible, it is said, to get them perfect
as perfectly formed as circle. Mr.
Judd had often noticed timers and
wood workers using a trio of nails
in vain attempt to describe perfect
oval. but had never given the matter
of inventing a device to do the work
a serious thought until dream furn-
ished him the idea-all complete
and needing but the application of
Mr.. Judd's skill.
The patternmaker FASTENED to the
railroad shops Monday morning and
worked out his device before the idea
left him. The result is a simple con-
trivance, yet one which would re-
quire abundance of the most direct
deliberation, and it does the work
perfectly. 1t is something the like
of which has never been seen.
Ovals of any length can be drawn
to perfection. The machine will not
make a perfect circle. however. the
nearest arrival at perfect circle be-
ing one inch longer than ii is broad.
Mechanical draughtsmen. artists,
metal workers and tradesmen who
have occasion to work out perfect
ovals will find Mr.. Judd's instru-
ment an indispensable device, and
Mr.. Judd is thinking of patenting II
and placing it on the market. He
has made two, large and small
one, and the test proves it a success
beyond a doubt.

THE INDIANS
ARE RAPIDLY COMING INTO THE
RESERVATION NOW.
Team To-day Began To Practice for
the Tussle With the Washington,

Gilligan and Hass and one or two
more Indians are to come yet and
the Paducah "tryouts" will be CON-

and hope to be in a good condition

"Pap" Farnbaker in the Cairo

about the Indians:

OLD STEEL ENGRAvINGs.
A Paducahan Possesses Two Fully
500 Years Old.

Mr.. A. Brahic, of North Third ST.,
has two original steel engravings by
d. +. Teners, Jr., a celebrated Ger
man engraver of several centuries
ago, and values the pictures highly.
They are aged, being nearly three
hundred years old, and are without
frames. They are wonderfully pre-
served, however, and the owner was
offered $50 for each so years ago.
He has had them with him since he
came here from the old country, and
while he would sell them, the price is
rather steep, and few purchasers in
Paducah could be found at the fig
ure.

The following dispatch tells of the
initial application of new baseball
rule:
Cincinnati, o.. April 1.-THE Phil
adelphia American league club and
the st. Paul American Association
club were fined $3.50 each by the ma
tional commission for covering up
Outfielder Phil GER. contrary to the
rules of the national agreement, II
appears that both clubs notified the
commission last fall that Geir had
been transferred from ST. Paul to
Philadelphia for "cash in hand paid
Recent developments indicated that
no cash was exchanged and that the
player was returned to st. Paul Both
clubs acknowledged this.
"In each finding the commission
asserts that as the covering up took
place before the new rules regarding
this practice were enacted, only a
nominal penalty was given each club.
Had It occurred under the new rules,
the Athletics would have been fined
81 200 and the st. Paul team $3.50.
This Is the first covering up case fur
nished by the commission.

DICTATOR OF EUROPE.
This Is the ScIf-Imposcd Role of the
Kaiser.

Berlin, April 1.-The. kaiser Is
determined to stand before the world
as the dictator of Europe, according
to information which comes from an
intimate of the German court.
The Algeciras conference is the
first step toward the realization OF
that ambition. The kaiser has thus
far demonstrated that he is a factor
TO be counted in any questions of in
ternational matters in Europe. He
insists that there should be a confer.
ence. Nobody wanted conference.
but the kaiser wanted one and he
had his own way.
He is so gratified by his success
that 1t is believed he will not yielu
in his demands in regard to Moroc-
co unless he sees that he can turn
such yielding to good account for
himself. The kaiser strongly be-
lieves that England is so DESTROYS
of peace that she will keep clear oil
war at any cost, while France is in
no position to wage great war. AS
for Russia, she is powerless.
The possibility of England and
France joining hands and unitedly
fighting Germany is a contingency
that the German empire poo-hoohs.
He is so insistent upon the achieve
ment of his designs to be the FIRST
man of Europe" that his more mod
crate minister who are urging
Cancellation, are having an unhappy
time.

of gold, which later became enriched
by brocade and embroidery.
