ventors have essayed the task. The
problem which to the uninitiated
might seem almost absurdly simple,
simple, has been almost insur-
mountable. The tormenting phase
of the puzzle was essentially this:
Friction and leakage. To tighten
the packing so as to reduce the
leakage of the steam or compressed
air was to increase the friction. To
loosen the packing to reduce fric-
ton was to increase the leakage.
The working part of the Harri-
man rotary depends upon the gen
eral fact that upon the shaft rum
ming through the engine compart
ments are attached a series of
power wheels the shaft piercing
them at point fraction of an
inch from their exact center. Each
of these pistons Is circular in
shape. Above the piston on another
common shaft running through all
the compartments Hartman hangs,
by means of pivot. carefully ad,
justed metallic flap with a projec-
ton reaching to the other wall of
the steam chamber. This flap is
situated between the points of in
gress and egress of the steam or
air.

HOLD FAIR

Reno Post, G. A. R., the Spanish
American War Veterans and their
auxiliary associations are to hold
a three days and night fair and
series of entertainments at the
armory on November 20 and De-
cember 1 and 2. For this purpose
the combined associations have en-
gagged Colonel Lewis Ginger of Col
orado Springs to take charge of
the entire enterprise. Colonel
Ginger was engaged for a number
of years in the work Of raising
funds for the various Grand Army
societies and also for the ex-Con-
federates and Daughters of the
Confederacy. f..
Through his efforts over $500, 900
were placed in the funds of the
associations, which has been used
in building memorial halls, soldiers
monuments and for relief funds.
This affair differs from all others
as there will be no soliciting of
chances among the visitors who
will enjoy the fine program given.
Nearly every business firm in
the city will be represented in the
fair with presents that will be
given to the season ticket holders

rnNTEINPI FOP nApK TWRINS NRWHOrE

HONOLULU, Oct. 2S.-The man.
tlepiece for Mark Twain's new
house at Redding. Conn, presented
by the people of Hawaii, has just
been shipped from here.
The mantlepiece is of koa, very
beautiful cabinet wood native to
the islands, and known in the trade
as Hawaiian mahogany. The CAPT
tails of the columns supporting the
mantel are handsomely carved in
design of the distinctive foliage of
Hawaii. the taro leaf, and fern
frond and HIBISCUS flower. Aside
from these ornate capitals the man
tlepiece is severely plain.
Mark Twain has more than once
been a visitor to Hawaii and has
written much about the islands.

There has been a steady absorb

special Correspondence to The Press
BOSTON, Oct. 2S.--J. Emory
Hartman jr., a civil and consulting
engineer Of Boston. declares he has
succeeded in actually solving that
puzzle of generations--a genuine
rotary engine! What this means in
Importance may be realized from
the fact that a rotary, which Is es-
sentially an engine in which the
steam or compressed air is made to
drive wheel in the same general
direction in which the steam, gas
or air flows, is at once an engine
cheaper and simpler to build, and
lighter than either the reciporcat-
ing, turbine or other styles of mo-
tive machines. The vital problem
of airsl1ip construction, for in
stance, is to secure the lightest en-
CINE with the greatest power.
The Hartman invention may go
far toward solution of this phase
of the airships difficulties. For
several years Hartman has been in
communication with and watching
the progress of the Wrights and
others in the effort to successfully
fly.
His theories and plans being in
dorsed by notable engineering au-
thorities, among them professors at
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. Hartman had a ship
building firm in South Boston con-
struct what was to be five horse
power rotary. Although this firm
had at various times built four or
five models for other hopeful solv-
ers Of the rotary puzzle and which
were utter failures their surprise
may be imagined when this one
worked.
The problem OF constructing a
rotary engine was tried as far back
as the day of Sir James Watt and
by that genius himself, but he
failed. Since then, scores of in

When the coal lands were with

There Is now rapidly growing

the property of the Indians, and the
government lease il to the coal com
