BUYING PAINT BLINDLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as a lottery and so 1t is, the way
they do it. 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use of a
blowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly put on and the
paint will stay put.
National Lead Company. Wood
bridge, Building. New York City, will
send a blowpipe outfit .and instruc-
tions for testing both white lead and
linseed oil, on request.

MOT in many years has a member
IN of the house OF representatives
been so thoroughly unpopular with
his colleagues as is Representative Lii
ley of Connecticut. whose charges of
graft and corruption in connection
with submarine boat legislation in
congress brought about the present
Investigation by the Boutell special
committee. And this is stated as a
fact. and not by way of criticism or
disparagement. Mr.. Lilley knows it,
too, and 1t seems rather to please him
than otherwise. At least. so his friends
have gathered from his occasional ref
erences to the subject.
A brilliant example Of the covent-
rescue attitude of the house member
ship-Republican and Democratic
with reference to Mr.. Lilley was fur
nished during general debate on the
naval bill. Richmond Pearson Hob

is very popular, but has no fortune.
That Mrs. Letter favored her sons
suit was evident, although she has
not showered upon Miss Williams the
attentions she has shown Miss Elkins
Last autumn Mr.. Letter established
several hunts and took daily exercise
on a nearby Virginia farm to enable
him to join the cross country riders of
the Orange County hunt of which Miss
ElKins is one of the two girl men,
bers. Mrs. Letter is said to have in
formed one of her confidants that to
win the young West Virginia girl as
her daughter-in-law she would settle
$3,0000 900 on the bride, give the young
people the use of her Dupont Circle
house, and bequeath to her daughter
in-law the famous ruby tiara and neck
lace that even in London society are
regarded as particularly choice jewels.
According to the gossip of clubs and
drawing rooms the engagement will
be short one. The honeymoon will
be abroad with presentation at the
court of st. James and taste of the
London season under the guidance of
the countess of Suffolk as its most
brilliant and alluring features. Mrs.
Letter, in view of her sons prospective
marriage, has abandoned her intention
of going abroad for the summer.

THE latest romance Of Washington
society concerns Joseph Letter
and Miss Juliette Williams, the daugh-
ter of an army officer. The announce
ment of their engagement was made

Mr.. Letter has spent this winter in
Washington. Miss Williams is the
daughter of Lieut-.Col. John B. Will

once of Mrs. Corbin, wife of Gen.
Henry c. .Corbin. who became ac-
quainted with her in Manila. With
her mother and younger sisters, Miss
Williams has an apartment in fash
ionable apartment house.
Until the recent visit to Washing
ton of the duke of the Abruzzi, Mr..
Letter was very attentive to Miss
Katherine Elkins. Since then his
wooing of Miss Williams leaves moth
ing to be desired in the way of ardor
or persistence. Mr.. Letter has had a

"Toeinq the Mark"

The phrase "toeing the mark" is Of
fairly old and somewhat obscure orr
gin. Several different opinions are
held as to how it originated, but the
derivation most generally accepted is
that it comes from an old fashion
among military men in drilling. to
draw line upon the ground and make
the company dress" by toeing this
mark. The phrase thus acquired the
meaning of standing up" to some
thing, and SO became used in quarrels,
when one Of the parties would chal-
lenge the other to stand up to him.
Even nowadays in some of the country
districts of Great Britain it is custom
ary for lads when Quarreling to pro-
woke their opponents finally to the en-
counter by drawing line upon the
ground and telling them to toe the
mark" The meaning Of the phrase as
now generally used is to come right
forward and stand up to anything.

SPAN OF CONCRETE
WILL BE THE LONGEST IN THE
WORLD,
Proposed Henry Hudson Memorial
Bridge to Have One Unique Feat
ture-StiII Another Triumph
for American Engineers.

There is not in the world a bridge
span in either stone or concrete which
approaches the dimensions of the pro-
posed Henry Hudson memorial bridge
to cross Spuyten Duyvil creek, says
the New York Sun.
The central span of that structure is
to be 703 feet in the clear. In steel
there already exists longer arch, that
of the upper Niagara span, which
measures $40 feet The design of the
He'll Gate bridge calls for thousand
foot arch of steel.
But in concrete there is nothing like
the big span which is to link Manhat-
tan to the mainland. The Engineering
News declares that the largest COM
pleted concrete arch is that of the
Grunwald bridge over the Isar, at Mu-
mich. 1t is only 230 feet wide.
The Walnut Lane concrete arch
bridge, now being built, has a slightly
longer span, 233 feet between faces of
abutments. These spans become in
significant, even trivial, when COM
pared with that now proposed for the
Hudson memorial bridge.
A better idea of the boldness of the
proposal is had from comparison
with the general field of masonry arch
construction, since the problems of
design and erection for arches of stone
same. The Cabin John arch of the
Washington aqueduct, 220 feet in span,
built about half century ago, was
for a long time looked upon as an ex-
ceptional achievement, being the lar
gest stone arch in the world.
Only in the last eight years has it
been exceeded, and there are now
three larger spans in stone, beside the
230-foot concrete arch at Grunwald-
and Plauen, 295 feet. In SO years de-
signers have ventured only one-third
beyond the limits set by the Cabin
John arch, and only in three cases
have they found it necessary. Now in
one leap the present limit is to be null
tiplied by two and half.
The Henry Hudson arch carries a
double deck. The upper or main deck
is a highway floor. 80 feet wide be-
tween railings; it has a 5O-foot road
way and two 15-foot sidewalks. The
lower deck is to carry four tracks of a
rapid transit railway, but as no such
line is yet in prospect, the lower floor
system is not to be put in place at
first, but only the necessary connec-
tions provided for 1t.
The total length of the bridge, in
cluding the approaches. is 2,S40 feet.
Its cost, excluding special ornamental
features, is estimated at $3,S00,000
About one-half Of this is chargeable to
the large arch and its superstructure.

Astrologer Predicts Teddy's Reelection

time in the next four years. So far
as he has been able to figure it out
astrologically there is not another man
in the nation that could manage the
trouble. The professor says: Il have
obtained among the stars the nativity
of President Roosevelt, and from the
same l find that he unquestionably
will be nominated by the Republican
party for president and will positively
be reelected by large majority"
But the president is not going to get
off easily. He is warned that he will
be in danger Of a peculiar trouble with
his knees. and that he should avoid
firearms. combustibles and impulsive.
ness. He should also take care of his
eyes and teeth.
Then the deck, or the stars. show
man with high forehead and sleepy
eyes. He has O wayward disposition
and bad habits. and will be around In
1908 and 1908.
The professors source of informa.
ton, however, indicates that the presi.
dent will weather all storms and pull
the country through with him.

Sees Ace of Aeroplanes,

Henry Farman, who has attracted
notice because of his successful
aeroplane experiments, believes that
within 12 months aeroplanes will be
flying from so to 100 miles quite cas-
lily. II can fly now as long as the
motor works." he says, land distance
is nothing to me-" Farman is 30 years
of age and is one Of the three sons
of a wellknown English journalist.
Before taking to aeronautics Mr.. Far
man had made a considerable name in
the French sporting world. When
cycle racing was the rage he and his
brother won many championships.
They formed a tandem team which
proved invincible. Then he took to
motoring, and won the Paris and Nice
races in 1902. In the great Paris-to-
Vienna race he gained first honors for
heavy machines. His motor-racing
career, however, came to a sudden
termination after an accident which
landed him high up in the branches
Of a tree.

Senator Owen Gives Genuine War Dance

Plenty Coos came here with fire in
his eye and vengeance in his heart
against the palefaces at the capitol.
He had grievances dating beyond the
arrival of Christopher Columbus. He
had several bouts with Senator Clapp,
the tall, dignified chairman of the In
dian committee. The eloQuence of
Plenty Coos prevailed finally, and an
agreement was reached to bury the
hatchet, smoke the pipe and go back
to the reservation. Plenty Coos wound
up his descent upon the capitol in
the committee room by rising in his
place and making solemn tender OF
his beautiful eagle-feathered bonnet to
Chairman Clapp. Senator Clapp, who
is from Minnesota, blushed and re-
fused to put on the royal headgear.
There was a moment of embarrass-
ment which was suddenly relieved by
the senator of Cherokee blood. To
him the bonnet was call of the wild"
Hand me the bonnet" said Senator
Owen. Plenty Coos beamed with de-
light and extended the bonnet, which
was made of the trophies of a hundred
American eagle wings. Senator Owen
gravely put it on his head and struck
the attitude of Osceola or Black Hawk,
or King Philip delivering an ulti-
matum to the palefaces. Then he
invisible tomahawk and finally sat
down amid great applause" as they
say in the Congressional Record.
