Gladstone & Paine were agents for
----; we mustn't tell names.
Devoe wanted 'em. Paine was painting
his big Colonial house. Said it took III
gallons of white for the trim.
Devoe sent him 10 gallons and said;
if you get 1t all on, no pay if You have
any left, return it and pay for the rest.
Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took
the agency. Four or five years ago.
He knows now that his OLD paint was

ten gallons to equal six of Devoe.
Go by the name; there is but one
name to go by; Devoe lead and zinc.

TO TRANSLATE CHINESE.
Machine Invented by Columbia Uni
 versity Student.

Donald H. Miller, student at Co., lumbia university in New York, has invented a machine to translate mys- terious Chinese into English by the mere touching of keys resembling those on typewriter Miller also says it will translate any other lan- guage. Professors of oriental lan- guages at Columbia have had scores of midnight conferences in young Mil ler's rooms, Investigating his remarka- ble discovery and experimenting with it.
 As result they recently announced that they believed the machine practi- cable and that it would eventually revolutionize trade with China. The contrivance resembles an adding ma chine. It has keys bearing Chinese characters. When the key is struck, type on the other end leaves on the paper an impression of all the possible meanings of the character
 Miller has been a student of Chinese for two years. He was graduated from Columbia last summer. but is continu- ing his work in order to obtain a de- gree of Ph. D. At Livingston hall, the university dormitory, the other night he said:
 T began studying Chinese two years ago and soon realized the enormity of the task. There are 10000 characters in the Chinese language. In an effort to invent some apparatus to enable one to read Chinese without thinking or studying hit upon the translating ma- chine.

GREAT UNDERTAKING.
Double Tracking of the Transsiberian
 Railway,

After many years consideration the plans of the Russian ministry of com munication for double tracking the Transsiberian route have recently been approved by the St. Petersburg govern ment.
 It is proposed to lay double track from the station of Omsk to Baikal station and from Tauchai to Karym- skaja. to rebuild the mountainous sec tion of the route between Atschinsk and Irkutsk, to increase facilities both for crossing and rounding Lake Baikal and to raise the general efficiency of the whole line.
 The cost of double tracking the line from Omsk to Atschinsk is estimated, exclusive of transportation of goods, which necessitates no cash outlay, at 2S.O19OoO rubles, or about $15. 900, 900, says Harper's Weekly. This means a cost of 27,7O0 rubles per verst over the distance of 1,132 versts. GA verst Is $500 feet.) The cost of the second track on the Transbaikal sections will be heavier. From Irkutsk to Lake Baikal and from Tauchal to Manchuria 4S,149,0o0 rubles are needed for the 1,235 versts. or an average of 5000 rubles per verst.
 The same rate per yerst is also given for the section of the line to karym- skaja. The expense of installing an additional track on the Atschinsk- Irkutsk section, together with recon struction of the mountain section. will cost. exclusive of transportation of ma terial. 5T,14s.900 rubles. This sum brings the cost of the unaltered line to 31. .1SO rubles and of the rebuilt line to SS.40O rubles per verst Aside from all this, some 100000 rubles are wanted to better the ferry system across Lake Baikal.

ARKANSAS FOREST RESERVE.
The President Sets Aside q Big Tract
 In the OzarIs.

President Roosevelt recently signed a proclamation creating the Ozark na- tiOnal forest reserve in the northwest ern part of Arkansas. The Ozark and the Arkansas natiosal forests. the lat ter created in Deoenber last. form the two easternmost national forests and give the state a forest area of nearly s2OoOO acres. says a forest service bull letin. The forest Is on the divide be- tween the Arkansas and White rivers.
 The area included in the new forest is for the most part covered with un- broken stands of hardwood and short leaf pine, estimated to be worth not less that S1.50o.0O0 as it stands and may bring S5.OOo.OoO If properly han dled.
 The new forest brings the total area of the national forests in the United States to 164.o5.555 acres. practically all in the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast region and all of 1t west of ths Mississippi river.

Impression of the Giant Mauretania
 Passed at Sea Tn the Night.

The one impressive incident of the uneventful voyage of the American liner New York. which ended at New York city the other day, was the pass ing on q recent night of the giant Gu harder Mauretanla.
 The Cunarder was cutting through a fairly smooth sea, going eastward on her record breaking trip. The two vessels passed rather close together, and all the passengers on the New York swarIned on deck to see the sight.
 The great liner was ablaze with lights and presented very impressive sight. As one passenger described it. it looked as though the New York had suddenly come within sight Of New York city and WAS passing one of the tall office buildings gone adrift in the night They agree that it was one of The most beautiful sights they had aeen at sea.

ARCH TO DWARF ALL OTHERS.
Concrete Span In Hudson Memorial
 Bridge to Be Worlds Longest.

Bridge to Be Worlds Longest.
 A bold conception which if carried out will give New York something fairly stupendous in the way of a concrete bridge is now under consider ation, says Cement Age. It will be a feature of the bridge proposed to be a tercentenary memorial of Hendrix Hudson's voyage up the river that now bears his name. It is to cross the western end of Spuyten Duyvil creek. which separates Manhattan Island from the mainland to the north, and will form part of New York city's elaborate driveway and park system on the bank of the Hudson, the River side drive. The object of the bridge, to serve as monument of an important historical event, calls for monument tai structure, of course, and every en- deavor was made in the design to full fill this need. According to the plans submitted to the art commission, the arch. has open spandrels except near the crown. The concrete ring is 725 feet in span between centers of skew backs or 703 feet in the clear, with a center to center rise of 177 feet. It is a massive concrete rib 70 feet wide, with a crown thickness of 15 feet and a thickness at skewbacks of 2S feet.
 In concrete there is nothing even re- motely approaching in magnitude the proposed span. The Grunwald bridge over the Iser at Munich, Germany. 230 feet in span, is the largest completed concrete arch. The Walnut lane con- crete arch bridge, Philadelphia, now being built, has slightly larger span. 233 feet between faces of abutments. These spans become insignificant, even trivial, when compared with that now proposed for the Hudson memorial bridge. The total length of the bridge, including the approaches. is 2.s40 feet. Its cost. excluding special ornamental features, is estimated at s3.S00,0O0. About one-half of this is chargeable to the large arch and its superstructure.
