pr. E. lies kerIin of Chicago to Finish,
Rooms In Costly House In Black
& Walnut From His Grandfather's
Farns-StiIl Another Recollection.

Two big piles Of rough Indiana lum-
Der are now attracting the attention of
thousands of people who hourly pass
along in the famous Sheridan road Of
Chicago. The material is stacked up
on big lot In one of the finest and
most exclusive residence sections OF
Chicago.
An Indiana man is building a house,
and in the use of the lumber he has
planned to perpetuate a number Of the
most tender associations of his life, al
Of which he brought from the great
Hoosier domain.
The builder is DR.. E. lies Kerlin.
The lumber is a fine grade and graf
of black walnut, and it came from a
farm four miles out of Richmond SAYS
the Indianapolis News. 1t was cut on
the farm of DR.. Kerlin's paternal
grandfather and namesake, E. lies
kerlin, who settled on the Indiana
farm more than seventy years ago
On this farm DR.. Kerlin's father.

SHOOTING TIE SUN.
GinnPlest Way OF locating Ships
Position at Sea.

GinPlest Way OF locating Ships
Position at Sea.
The average transatlantic traveller
displays very little interest in the nav
igation of the vessel beyond watching
the ships officers, sextant in hand,
making observations, says a writer in
Travel Magazine. Very few have any
idea of the process by means of which
the modern navigator is enabled to ac-
curately place the ships position at
a stated time on the chart. Out Of
sight Of land q ships geographical pc
sition is determined either by keeping
carefs recosd Of the course steered
and the distance run, known as dead
reekoning g, or BY the com bined use Of
chronometer and sextant- is, by
observation of the heavenly bodies.
The operation Of finding the latitude
and longitude Of observation can be
performed in number of ways, of
which the simplest and most conven.
lent is by measuring the altitude of the
sun above the horizon at noon, as Is
indicated on the vernier of the sextant
and spoken of at sea as shooting the
sun" An arithmetical computation by
the aid of logarithms is thus quickly
made which shows exactly how far
the ship is north or south of the equa
tor, or, in other words, the latitude.
Finding the longitude, however, is a
somewhat longer process. An observa
ton is made either in the forenoon OF
afternoon, the chronometer time of the
horizon contact of the suns image be-
ing noted. A calculation is then made
which gives the exact time at the spot
where the ship happens to be, and, as
the chronometer carried aboard shows
the exact time at Greenwich, the prime
meridian of longitude, the difference
between the two expresses in hours
and minutes easily convertible into
degrees and niles the distance east
or west of Greenwich.
Having thus, roughly speaking, found
the latitude and longitude, a dot placed
on the chart at the exact point where
the lines Of latitude and longitude
cross denotes the ships position.

from these trees that the lumber now
piled up on the Sheridan roadside was
sawed In an Indiana sawmill during
the present year and is to form one of
the most substantial residences on the
north side.
After the death of Grandfather Ker-
lin the farm went to his daughter, now
Mrs. John T. Alexander of Hunting
ton. whom everybody In the com
mun1ty knew and knows as Aunt Mat
tie. When she was told that her neph-
ew, DR.. Kerlin, was about to build a
house she suggested that he finish at
least one room from the lumber of the
great walnut trees that still were
standing on his grandfather's farm and
which had been carefully nursed and
kept trimmed by his own father. DR..
kerlin acted on the suggestion at once
The trees We're cut and hauled to
sawmill, and the product is now seen
on the Sheridan park building lot in
Chicago. The material will remain in
the sun during the summer in process
of drying. Then it will be kiln dried
and ultimately dressed for the use in
store for it. On the first floor of the
new home will be large living room.
It will have beamed ceiling, wains-
coting, bookshelves built In the walls
and large mantel, all of which will be
built from the Indiana black walnut
material. Two bedrooms also will be
finished from this material that came
from the grandfather's farm
Still another fond Indiana recollec-
ton will be perpetuated for all time
In this house. Under the big walnut
mantel will be a large ventilating crate.
It will be furnished by William M.
Jackson, who was the principal of
Friends academy at Richmond when
DR.. Kerlin graduated there in 1875.
To make it still more Of an Indiana
production the superstructure is of
Bedford stone. The architecture of
the house follows the old colonial, with
great wide hall in the center.
