lately about the mysterious disappear.
ance Of Mrs. Ida May Miller Kuel1n, o
100000 Philadelphia heiress. The girl
suddenly disappeared, and there were
stories abroad that DR.. Rolando Kuehn.
who claimed to be her husband, had
put her in an insane asylum for SAFE
keeping. as some of her relatives were
trying to get her money. 1t seems Mrs.
Kuehn had, however, quietly slipt of
to Ireland, where she went to obtain
evidence to show up the Vaccinations
of the relatives, and she turned up the
other day, good as new, after an alb.
sence of three weeks, armed with suffi.
cient evidence to support her charges.
She spent very gay and happy

York. Mrs. Kuehn seems to be per.
son of very strong and rather unusual
ideas on many subjects, matrimony be-
ing one. She refused to marry DR..
Kuehn in the regular orthodox way,
believing the present system to be the
cause of much unhappiness, and a writ
ten agreement was all that she would
consent to in the way of marriage cere-
mony. Five months later, however, the
Doctor coaxed her to be regularly mar
ried by Magistrate. Her mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Miller, tells sad story Of
wretched life with her husband, who
seems to have been a large owner in
Philadelphia real estate, stocks, bonds
and mortgages, and who treated her
with great brutality. He had her ad.
judged insane and confined in an insane
asylum for II years. Altho perfectly
sane she preferred the life in the asy-
lum, where she was kindly treated, to
the life with him. He died about three
years ago, and she has been unable to
get her third of the estate. She and
her daughter do not seem to be on very
good terms. as she says she has only
seen her occasionally since the fathers
death, and that she has no. her daugh.
ter's confidence. Mrs. Miller is very
poor. and works in various ways to
support herself. She says she has re-
ceived but $500 from her husbands
estate since his death. but is now taking
steps to obtain her rights.

Most, if not all, Of the depilatory

usually contain arsenic. The following
formula is given in a German publica-

IMPROVEMENT IN THE PATENT
REEICE

The Board of Management of the
Patent Law Association, of Washing
ton, d. c., appointed committee 10
consider the needs of the Patent Ofhce
and recommend measures for the I'M
proyement of the efficiency of the bu-
reau. The committee has done its work,
and its report says that for the year
ended June so, 1905, there were 21,95S
applications awaiting action on the part
of the Office Many thousand inventors
had consequently to wait in some in
stance seven months before their ap-
plications received an examination. Ihe
examining corps of the Bureau IS not
responsible for this delay, since Whlie
the work has increased over 10 per
cent since 1899 the increase of the force
in the same time has only been IL per
cent. During the year there were 5l,-
SS5 cases examined, being an average
of 2O9 for each Examiner. At the pres
ent time there are 80 Divisions in the
office, averaging six Assistant Examin-
ers each. There should be provided
and very promptly, at least 20 addition
al Divisions, each comprising seven EX-
aminers one Primary and six Assist
ants, with sufficiently enlarged cieri-
cal force to correspond. Then the Eext
trouble is that the. low salaries paid will
not retain the best men in the Patent
Office. Patent attorneys and industrial
concerns are on the lookout for bright
men, who have been trained in the
Patent Office, and tempt them away
with an increase of salary or an offer
of partnership. During the last five
years there have been 131 designations,
of which there were 101 in the year
ended Nov. 5, 1906. The salaries now
paid were established more than a
quarter of a century ago, when the
grade of work required was not so
high nor the qualifications of so exact
ing an order. Examiners are now only
paid the same grade of salaries as IS
given to clerks in the Departments, who
have no other duties than writing for
NAL letters and keeping routine ac-
counts. The Examiners must be paid
higher salaries in order to retain them
in the service. Nothing else will do so.
The Commissioner and Assistant Com
missioner should also receive a decided
increase in pay, which will have ten
dency to retain them longer in their
places. More room must be had for
the Patent Office, and Congress should
pay attention to the appeals which
have been made from year to year to
allow the Patent Office to keep the
money which it has accumulated and
provide itself with adequate accommo-
dations. The inventors of the United
States are not asking any favors. Dur
ing the last fiscal year they paid into
the Treasury sufficient to make sur
plus over the expenditures of the Office
of s2f3,I4S, and. since 1897 there has
been a surplus now aggregating over
$6,e0a,0 900. It will take many years to
build such a building as the Patent
Office needs, but in the meanwhile Con-
gress should authorize rented quarters,
as well as provide for the great increase
of force that the growing interests Of
the country imperatively demand.

Making Use of Smoke.

(From the Black Hills Mining Review.)
In Brussels, Malines and other Bel
gian towns a novel method of not only
getting rid of smoke, but turning it to
good account, has recently been en-
ployed. The smoke is driven by a
ventilating fan into filter filled with
porous material, over which con-
tinuOus stream of petroleum, benZine,
alcohol or some liquid hydrocarbon
flows. The result is that the smoke is
entirely supprest, while the filter
yields gas Of great heating power,
which can be used for domestic pur-
poses and for driving engines. The FL
tering material itself also becomes a
good combustible during the process.

GREAT LOCOMOTIVES.

In these days of strict economies in
railway management there is the
strongest tendency to build the most
powerful locomotives that can be used.
The stronger the locomotive, of course,
the more cars it will pull and the more
economic it will be. On the other hand,
the bridges, culverts and tracks must
be continually strengthened to provide
for these huge engines. The strongest
limitation, however is that of the fire.
box. A man can only throw coal with
a shovel SO far and the fire-box must
be kept within his reach. This makes
a sharp spur for the ingenuity of the
locomotive builders, and one of the
economies is in the way of using steam
over again. In marine engine building
this is carried to great extent, the
steam being used over and over again
until 1t has very little power left, when
it finally escapes. The biggest engines
in the world. up to this time, are some
just completed by the Baldwin Loco
motive Works for the Great Northern
Railway. They are what is known as
freight service. The rear group of
wheels are driven by a pair of high
pressure cylinders, from which the
steam exhausts into low-pressure cylin-
ders, driving the forward set Of wheels.
The engine and tender are 73 feet 2A
inches and weight 50S,000 pounds, with
a tractive power Of 71.600 pounds
more than 35a tons. It will require
bridges of the greatest and most GER
tain stability to bear up this weight of
more than one-half a million pounds
20 miles an hour. When one Of these
monsters is ditched it will be a work
of magnitude to get it on the track
again.

The voice of Autumn seems serene,
Compared with Spring, when all Is
green,
And birds are chirping welcome song,
To flowers of hope that bloom along:
The varied leaves all droop their eyes,
And bid farewell with sweetest sighs,
AS cruel winds come sweeping on,
And blast the beauty almost gone.
One word, forgive, the red leaves say,
Twill be be too late some other day,
Since last years music of the winds
Made impress on our hearts and minds.
Kind memory views the fading scene,
And signs for-"what might have

He was the seventh President of the
Road, and entered its ser
vice as a rodman and levelman in the
latter part of 1861. He showed such
ability that he was steadily ad-
vanced from one responsible position to
and in 1870 he succeeded DR..
Edward H. Williams as General Super
a year later becoming Gen.
eral Manager of all the lines west of
Pittsburg. In 1874 he was elected Third

he was. May, 1891, appointed by Presi-

Mr.. Cassatt did not wish to take the
of the Presidency of the
Pennsylvania, but his wife, who was a
niece of President Buchanan and al
very ambitious woman, urged him to
do so. Mr.. Cassatt was very fond of
athletics and especially of the game of
golf. Next to out-of-doOr sports the
raising Of fine horses formed his princi-

tinetion upon the turf. He was the
owner of many famous horses. He de-
