At yOssining, New York. after a cor
oner's investigation, a man who was
driving an automobile when it bolted into
a tree and killed friend at his side was
held on a charge of manslaughter in the
second degree. This is evidence that the
law is bent upon the prevention of "joy
riding" and speeding generally. Hereto
fore men who have escaped from wrecks
have been permitted to congratulate
themselves on having nothing but fnan-
cial loss as their share of the trouble.

WHY GOOD PAINT PREVENTS RUST.
BY William III. Walker

Inasmuch as both moisture and oxygen are
necessary in order that corrosion may pro-
coed. 1t can easily be seen that the duty of
a protective paint is to exclude both OF these
elements 1t Is well known that linseed
oil film is an expansive porous structure act
ing somewhat as sponge toward moisture

That which happened to Wiseman and
Peters, the record-breaking automobilists
who were both probably fatally injured
by a collision with tree while attempt
ing to lower the time for the run around
San Francisco bay, is likely to happen
to any automobilists at any time. The
steering gear became deranged and the
machine swerved from the roadway
when going at high speed. Many a
bicyclist came to grief through the
breaking of the fork of his vehicle at a
critical moment, and the steering gear
of an automobile has the same relation
to that vehicle as the fork has to the
bicycle.

Evidence that the friction between cat
tie and sheep herders over western
ranges is still unallayed may be found in
the fact that a sheep camp near Atchee,
Colorado, was raided by cattlemen, last
week, and no less than three thousand
sheep slaughtered. Incidents of this kind
will occur until 1.-The man with the hoe"
discovers a method by which lands that
are not now considered fit for agriculture
may be cultivated with profit, and then
both the sheepmen and the cattlemen will
have to let go and seek smaller ranches
behind fences. The old cattle and sheep
range will soon be thing of the past.

The unsuitable ship is now seemingly
at hand. Descriptions of the new steam
er Minnewaska of the Atlantic Trans
port Line state that she is divided by
bulkheads into eleven water-tight COM
partments, and has eight steel decks, six
of them plated throughout The double
bottom extends completely fore and aft,
and the structure under the engines is es
pecially strengthened. A ship of this kind
is extremely hard to sink. She will re-
main afioat if her bottom is riddled with
holes, as the inner plating will then
serve as a new bottom, and if big steam
ers are supplied with ample pumps and
pneumatic machinery they can extricate
themselves from bad places, without the
assistance of wreckers.

The Chicago Board of Education is
considering the proposition of an OPEN
air school-nothing between the pupils
and universal nature but roof, classes
two hours a day, lessons in cooking part
of the curriculum, and pupils expected
to cook their own meals! The notion will
seem to some like a perpetual picnic.
The outdoor schools would be open from
May 1 till fall, and the pupils in them
would be such as could not stand the
confinement and strain of ordinary school
life without prejudice to their health.
The outdoor school is departure, but
there are many to whom it will COM
mend itself as distinctly good idea.

of the North would be broken, despair
would follow, disbursement, defeat.
So he bent his first efforts to de-
Tending the seat of government from
those who would set up there new
nation not conceived in liberty.
His deep anxiety in those days be-
fore the troops arrived and when
Beauregard's army was said to be ap-
preaching, will be recalled by all who
have read the story of the war. A.
ter the arrival of the Seventh New
York regiment of "dandies," who
dined at Delmonico's before departing
and the Massachusetts and Rhode
Island regiments of farmers, mechan-
les and tradespeople, the capital was
In no danger until the attack of Gen.
Early, when the incident of Col.
Roome's story occurred. But this did
not entirely relieve the anxiety in the
heart of the man who, from the win
dow of his executive Office, could see
a traitor flag floating over the home
across the river where Washington
had lived and died.
When the Notifications were thrown
up around the capital Lincoln knew Of
every detail Of the work, consulted
with the men in charge, informed and
advised them. 1t was, therefore, no
occasion of comment when he left
the White House on this July IL and
walked among the soldiers. They
stood, ready for action, behind the
walls while from the plain below came
the sound Of conflict.
Gen. Early's own story of his move
ment upon Washington shows the
situation in the confederate ranks on
that day. He had approached Wash
ington from the north. Having heard
that the outer works were feebly
manned, he meant to take them by
surprise, but before his first divis-
ion could be brought up, he says, he
saw a cloud of dust in the rear of the
works and soon column of men
in blue filed into them on the right
and left. Then skirmishers were
thrown out in front, while an artil-
lery fire was opened on the confeder-
ates from number of batteries.
"Our skirmishers were all thrown
to the 'front.'" wrote Gen. Early, "driv-
ing those of the enemy to the cover
Of their works, and we proceeded to
examine the Notifications in order to
ascertain If it was practicable to car
ry them by assault They were found
to be exceedingly strong and consisted
of what appeared to be inclosed forts
for heavy artillery, with tier of low
er works in front of each, pierced for
an immense number Of guns, the
whole being connected by curtains
with bitches in front and strength
ened by palisades and abattis. The
timber had been felled within cannon
range all around and left on the
ground, making formidable obstacle,
and every possible approach was
raked with artillery" ..s ."
Thus it would seem that President
Lincoln incurred little danger on the
day when he went about within the
fertilization walls. But that he was
in some danger is shown by Col
Roome's story. H. M

Johnny Reb" in battle The histor-
les do not record it, nor the biograph-
les. Those who saw the occurrence
thought little of it at the time, so
pressing was the work they had in
hand, and the president is not known
ever to have mentioned the incident
Concerned only with the welfare of
sundered nation and it's suffering
millions, and least of all with self, it
is probable that no thought of the
experience required to him at any
time in the period of stress and anx-
iety and important occupation that
followed another bullet, less honest,
that took away his life.
On the morning of July II, 1864,
young Northumberland Of the Six
ty-fifth New York volunteers, standing
just outside Fort Stevens, one of the
series of forts that completely sur
rounded and guarded Washington,
saw President Lincoln walking fear
lessly among his soldiers, discussing
the conditions and circumstances of
the then impending attack upon the
city by Gen. Early and his confeder-
ate forces, while battle ragged out
side the breastWorks.
Watching with the curiosity of a
soldier who had seen his president
only twice before, the colonel was
alarmed when he saw him hit by a
bullet, which had sped through the air
from the camp of the enemy. That
young officer was William P. Roome,
who was acknowledgement and chief
of staff to Maj.-Gen. Upton.
Sometimes Co.. Roome has thought
of writing to Lincoln's biographers
and telling them Of the incident, but
he procrastinated, not considering
it a matter of sufficient Importance to
interest them. Lately, however, not
ing the renewed interest in the minut-
est details of the life of Lincoln, he
believes that Americans would like
to know the facts. -... :.
When the bombardment of Sumter
was in progress Walker, the confed.
crate secretary of war, making fiery
speech at Montgomery, Ala, declared:
1.-THE flag which now flaunts the
breeze here will float over the dome
Of the old capitol at Washington be-
fore the first of May" s...
That boast appeared in the same
issue of the newspaper that printed
President Lincoln's call for troops,
and intensified the fears for the Sc
curity Of the capital already great
because of the probable secession Of
Virginia and the doubt as to the po-
sition of Maryland.
President Lincoln realized how
much depended on his holding Wash
/ ington The loss of the capital doubt
less would result in European recog-
milton Of the confederacy: the spirit
