Only One Aeroplane.

Washington.-From present indica
tions it looks as If the Wright brothers
would be the only contractors to build
heavier than air flying machine for
the signal corps and that instead of
having three aeroplanes this year only
one will be completed.
=. A. M. Herring of New York has not
signed his contract with the signal
corps, although his offer was accepted
by the government. 1t is said he may
not be able to fulfill his expectations
and may withdraw.
J. F. Scott of Chicago. who offered
TO build a flying machine for $1,000.
has now announced his intention of not
keeping to his promise, on the ground
that the work will be much more ex.
pensive than he imagined.
This leaves the Wright brothers
alone in the field, as they have signed
their contract with the signal corps
and have already begun work under
the specifications as laid down by the
War Department.
The machine they are to build will
cost $4,000, is guaranteed to remain
in the air at least one hour, carry two
persons of combined weight of $50
pounds and have a speed of thirty-six
miles an hour.
The Wright brothers machine must
pass severe tests before it is accepted.
The trial flight of this machine will
take place at Fort Myer, Virginia. not
later than August 1st next. 1t is be-
lieved that the machine may be COM
pleted before that date, which will be
gratifying to the government.

What to do with the living room II
q problem that confronts every house
Keeper. The living room should be
In fact as well as In name q living
room-a livable room. 1t Is the room
IN which the most OF our time at
home is spent. the hours We have for
leisure. the time We have for play.
the place where We entertain our
friends and 1t Is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings OF the
living room should be harmonious in
color. suitable in texture. and durable
In material.
The rich. soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures. throw the furni-
ture out in better relief. are less dis.
cordant with rugs and carpeting. and
Indicate a higher degree Of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which We paste on when We
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up q
plastered wall growing out of hard
wood floor? Yet. that is what we
suggest to the imagination when we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
ful. but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures OF wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form Of a tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately It is the only
clean way. and more fortunately 1t is
the only permanent way: the only
way that does not involve the end.
less labor in the future
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect $50 OF the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use Of darker
colors. Dark greens absorb the light:
light yellows reflect It; browns mod
ify 1t, and so on, through the scale
of colors. The color scheme OF a
room not only is dependent upon the
color Of the carpetings but It is also
dependent upon the light Of the room.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting At the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Lnseed Oil Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the fame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. II 1t is pure
White Lead. little drops of bright. pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
tience the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens Of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. II they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave residue. it is clear that some
adulterant is present
II you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem. 1t would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building. New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
SO that the White Lead may be test
ed. With 1t will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as its frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty Of pure White Lead.

Thomas F. Walsh in support of the bill
providing for the establishment of a
mining bureau in the Department of
the Interior. Mr.. Walsh's views on
the subject were regarded by the COM

printed for general distribution among

Supreme Court Decides Against Texas
Law Taxing Railroads.

Washington, May 19.-In the decid-
ing Of the case of the Galveston 81 San
Antonio Railway Company VS.. the State
OF Texas, involving taxes on that and
other Texas roads, the Supreme Court
IF the United States held to be uncon-
stitutional the Texas law of 1905 fixing
the tax rate on railroads equal to one
per cent. on their gross earnings when
they lie wholly within the State and a
proportionate sum when they lie part
ly within the State.
The opinion of the court was deliv-
cred by Justice Holmes, who held that
the law is an effort to regulate utter
State commerce and that therefore the
tax could not be collected. The Chief
Justice and Justices Harlan, White and
Mckenna united in a discussing opin-
ion which was delivered by Justice
Harlan. Justice Harlan expressed the
opinion that the decision strike s a
very serious blow at the taxing law OF
the State.
