DRAG.
cOuntersunk. The strip of iron should
not be carried the entire length of the
front log.
The plank drag is made from two
pieces of ten or II inch plank, two or
three inches thick and eight or nine
feet long, reinforced by a two-inch by
! six-inch strip. The cross braces are
four-inch sticks shaped to fit two
inch hole. A board platform, not
shown in the cut, is laid on the cross
pieces for the driver to stand upon.
Chains should be provided with
which to haul the drag arranged with
short and long hitch as shown in
the sketch, so that the drag will travel
at an angle of about As degrees with
the direction of the road.
1t will be noticed from the sketch
that the long hitch of the chain goes
over the log around one of the cross
pieces rather than through hole in
the front log. This allows the earth
to slide unobstructed along the front
face of the drag.
We show form of drag made from
plans which are REINFORCED on the In
ner side by two-inch by six-inch strips.
Both forms of drag are effective and
the one that can be constructed most
conveniently is the one advised. Or
| dinarily material for plank drag can
be more readily secured "A plank
drag also has a slight advantage in
that the earth will more readily slide
along its face than along the rougher
| face of a split log.
AS can be readily appreciated from
the cuts, the cost of a drag cannot be
very great-not over three dollars or
four dollars.
A modification of the split log drag
has been made recently by Mr.. Ed
ward Eisenberger, of Dudson, III. By
means of this modification it is pos
sible TO incline the faces of the log
SO that they will slant either forward
or backward according as it is de-
sired to have the drag cut deep or
shallow As the adjustment of the
log is easily effected by the movement
! of lever, it adds considerable to the
ease with which it is possible to dis
charge the earth that may be collect
| ed in front of the drag at any particu-
lar point desired. This form of drag
has not been in use long enough to
| determine whether it has sufficient
advantages to warrant the extra
work necessary in making the hinged
frame and connecting levers.

ART TREASURES TO BE

Rome, July 6.-Art lovers through
out the world will be pleased to
learn thai in the near future they
will be able to inspect one of the
finest art collections ever formed
This collection has never seen the
light of day since Pope Leo X, that
mighty patron of art and learning, got
it together. That was some four hun
dred years ago. Since then the col
lection, known as the Sancta Sanctor
um, has been shut away in the chapel
OF the Scala Sancta. II contains
specimens of ecclesiastical vestments
that go right back TO the very begin
ming Of the Christian church. There
is Soldsmith's work wrought by the
greatest mediavel masters of the
craft. Illuminated manuscripts an
cient enamels, pictures by artists un
known to moderns, glorious things
that were among the treasures of the
old emperors-all are there. Prof
Gris2r, Jesuit and a great archeol
ogist, has obtained permission to over
haul the collection. photograph it. ant

VERY FEW ATTEND his FUNERAL

The remains of Harvey ID. billiard
the colored teamster who some time
between midnight and morning of
July 5 shot and killed his wife, as she
lay sleeping beside him, and then blew
out his own brains, were laid to rest
this morning at 10 o'clock in Fairview
cemetery, the funeral ceremonies TAX
ing place from StrOng's chapel. But
very few attended his funeral, the Sis
ter-in-law of the wife murderer and
suicide stating that as far as she was
concerned she didn't care if they bur-
led him in the sewer.

murdered wife gathered at Strong S

the remains were laid TO rest in Fair

who had killed her while she slept
Mrs. Mabel Faucet, sister of the MUIR
dered woman, stated that she would
not notify their aged mother OF the
tragedy, fearing the shock would kill
her
II is now generally conceded that
billiard had no occasion for his insane
jealousies Of his wife, and that he had
worked himself up into a frenzy of
rage through his own imaginings. No
one could be found who had heard
them quarreling at any time the past
few days. and It is supposed that Dill

deranged through worrying over his
real or imaginary marital troubles,
which caused him 10 commit the d0u-

There is a rumor in circulation this

were sworn TO by j. VI. Sandoyal, OF

huge proportions in which the courts

BY the passage of ,..e hln making

which began July 1, and the allotment
Of the appropriation by the secretary
OF war TO the different states and ter

which will assure the territorial guard

the promotion of rifle practice. for
which the appropriations will be set
aside. as provided in the act.
II is understood that oYercoats viii

paraphernalia and accouterments. ana
that the funds which viii be saved
this year to the militia, by the gov

New Mexico troops going to Austin,
Texas, will be applied to building up

Altogether, the outlook for the ter

necessary funds is concerned was
never brighter and although there
has been some dissatisfaction ex-
pressed regarding the sending of only

from headquarters regarding the dates
have been received Dy any of the
captains OF the different companies

IL is thought that they will leave the

about the l9th or 9Th Of August, re-
