EVE HAS AN INVENTION
Continuance for Putting Mail Pouches
on Trains Praised by Railway Men
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


After several years of work, Charles
Eve, a resident of this city, and son
of Lewis Eve, Editor Of the Kenosha
Volksfreund, has just completed an
invention which may in time bring to
him fortune. The invention is a mail
device and yesterday it was given a
thorough try-out and proved itself a
great success. The new device which
is the most modern Of it's kind, is for
the purpose of putting mail pouches
on trains while the train is moving It
is in the form of a crane and differs
greatly from the many that are now
in use throughout the country, as it may
be operated from the ground and will
operate both ways at the same time
with the same machinery which is very
simple.
Yesterday morning at Lakeside, Mr..
Eve and Chris Sorenson who just com
pleted making the first crane, were at
the machine and before a delegation
Of officials from Chicago and Milwaukee
of the Chicago & Milwaukee Western
road, among whom was Chief Hoyt of
the mechanical department., operated
it to the greatest satisfaction of all
and. it was pronounced a success by
all present. It means that this inven-
ton will revolutionize the mail devices
now in operation, as it viii be taken up
by all Of the large companies. It will
do away with the large number of
accidents to employees caused by the
old system.

ISSUES A NEW CHART
United States Survey Issues New
Chart For the Use of Sailing
Masters on the Lakes
GIVES MUCH INFORMATION

The United States Lake Survey has
just issued revised, second edition
of the chart of the Great Lakes region.
1t is printed in five colors on scale
of 10 miles to the inch, and is intended
for the use of navigators. The chart
is big enough to show the whole Lake
System from Duluth and Chicago to
Montreal and the sheet, 80 inches by
40 inches, is small enough to fit in a
master S chart case
These charts are sold by the Lake
Survey Office, Old Custom House, De
troit Mich, at the cost Of the paper
and presswork, as required by act of
Congress. The first edition Of 1000
copies ISSUED September, 1909 was
so rapidly exhausted that double that
number has this time been printed.
The larger edition results in reducing
the cost from % cents to IS cents per
copy. Postage stamps are not accepted
as payment.
q Here are some of the features making
it valuable for navigation and allied
interests:
Primary sailing courses, with dist
ances, are shown for all the lakes.
Water areas with 315 fathoms of
water or less are shown in blue. The
deep water is white, with the 10, 25, so,
and lO0-fathom depths Indicated by
dotted contour lines All land areas
are in buff tint.
Lines showing the compass variations
over the whole region are printed in
red. Places where there is local
magnetic disturbance are conspicuously
marked.
Curves are given showing the lowest
and highest monthly mean heights Of
the water in each of the lakes from
1860 to 1906.
Tables are incorporated giving
lengths, terminal points, and locks with
their dimensions, for the United States
and Canadian Canals, tributary to the
iGreat Lakes
Tables of dry docks on the lakes with
dimensions are given.
Approximate sizes Of cities and towns
bordering the lakes are indicated by
varied symbols and graded scales Of
lettering.

caao May Have Come From Here
kilograms were sent to Kenosha
Tuesday evening by Chicago officials
asking for information in regard to
women missing from this city. Late
Monday evening the headless body of
young woman was found floating
in the lake off Jackson Park in Chi
cage, and the men who are conducting
the search for her identity claim that
1t was evident that the woman was
killed before her body was thrown into
the lake. 1t is alleged that the body
must have been thrown into the lake
at some place s'- West shore
A careful search OIL the records of the
Kenosha police fails to reveal anv
missing person who might answer the
description of the woman found in
Chicago. The woman was evidently
blonde, and about eighteen years of
age.
