THAT DEAR OLD
 ROOM IN HOTEL

From the New York World.
 Do you recognize me?' asked The guest after he had written his name in the hotel register.
 Cant say that I do.' replied the landlord, "and yet your face does seem familiar to me-
 T stopped at this hotel enc night about four years ago." explained the guest, and I've been telling my friends aoout it ever since. i've been travelling o'' -r'v life. and never put in such a night as had under this hospitable i..i. what room are you going to give me?"
 "No. r is the only one vacant" Good old r. Same room I had four years ago! Is there the same old lop- sided bed in 1t? That was the all-firedes' bed ever saw! It bulged up in the mid dle and as soon as man got asleep hed roll down one side or the other, and land on the floor in a heap. I slid down that bed Il times that night, and I suppose Ethe marks are still on the floor showing where I landed. Is the same bed stil | there?'
 There's a good enough bed for any man in that roonn,'' said the landlord ! sourly.

 I've been looking forward for three days to another bout with that bed, under Marquis of Queensberry or any other rules. I'm in better condition now than I was in four years ago, and be- lieve I can get the decision if the bout
 is limited to 10 rounds.
 'Is the same can-seated chair there by the window? Dear old chair It's bound by a thousand chains to my heart; not q link will break, not a tie start, or words to that effect.
 That chair and that bed make strong team. They ought to be in vaudeville When got tired doing a Graeco- Roman stunt with the bed l sat down in the hair to rest awhile, and went right down through the seat, and the guest in the next room had to come in and pull that chair off me. I never had such a time in my life"
 If you don't like this hotel there's an- other one down the street." said the landlord.
 Hike it? Why. I'm just trying to tell you how I love it.
 'Is the same pitcher on the washstand? I'll miss that pitcher horribly if anything has happened to it. Good old trusty lpitcher! It had hole in the bottom and there was no handle to it. didn't mo-

possible to direct every ray parallel to every other ray. In practice, however, inasmuch as a flame or filament is not di- mensonless, reflector which would be accurate for one point of 1t is inac- curate for another. In choosing lamp, it is, therefore, well to avoid one In which the area of the reflection is small for given the size of the flame the larger the surface at which it's rays are re- fected the less relatively, will be the distortion of the beam, due to the fact that the center of illumination is not point. Another objection to the use of a small mirror is that the reflected rays, when their directions are irregular, inter- sect each other, the result being that the brightness of the projected beam va ries abruptly from point 10 point.
 The range of lamp Is the distance at which the beam thrown by it may be con- sidered to be practically effective. As a measure of it, it is convenient to take the distance along the center of the beam at which the intensity of the illumination is just equal to one-tenth of a candle foot. In some comparative lamp trials recently made in England there was an astonishingly wide divergence with diff ferent lamps in this particular, results coming out all the way from 30 to 200 feet. A ullilDtT Ol ldillpS llHutT ~ cdHult pOWtT in which the range lay between 80 and 100 feet were marked very good.
 Other things equal. a moderate weight and simplicity of construction are desider- ata in a lamp. Accessibility of the va rious parts for cleaning is also a point to be considered Loosely fitting con nections, which are likely to cause an- noyance by rattling, should be avoided. Care. too. should be taken that there is no back reflection, and that no stray

 Then we both sat down with that pitcher between us and laughed like twin idiots for three hours at a stretch and then I went back to my room and took another fall out of the bed.
 There was a cracked mirror over the washstand Is that there yet? I have a mighty tender feeling for that mirror It was concave, or convex, I forget which, and made a man look like tele- phone pole. l just stood and looked at myself in that humorous mirror until thought I'd die laughing.

lHE.NRHsE.HllNTINGTON

New York, April 29-Gutenbergs Bible, a superb impression from the types of the father of printing, one of the seven yellum volumes of its kind in the world, was bought for s50,000 by Mir Henry E. Huntington of Cali fornia at the sale of the library of the late Robert Hoe. This Is the high est price ever paid for any printed volume in the history of man, and is practically double the sum which stand next to it, the s25.700 which MT J. Pierpont Morgan gave for the psalter from the same press. The sale of the Gutenberg Bible, which is in two pom derous pigskin volumes, was attended by sharp competition. which finally re- solved itself into a duel of thousands between MT. Joseph E. Widener of Phl- adelphia and MT. Huntington, who was represented by Mir. George D. Smith. a dealer of this city.

ISN'T IT AWFUL?
Whole Atlantic Coast Left Without
 Defenders

From the New York World.
 Concern is expressed by army ofhcers in the Department of the East over the defenceless condition of the Atlantlc seaboard It was bad enough before the withdrawal of attachments Of coa st artillery to Texas, but now only tooo men are left to man the guns out Qf a full complement of 3S,000. From Name to Fort Monroe the country is open to invasion, it being possible for any fourth or fifth-class power to effect a landing almost anywhere north of the capes of the Chesapeake.
 Here is striking new evidence Of the decline of the military spirit" Where is Hobson in the perilous crisis? So Tar as known no fourth or fifth-class power" is preparing to take advantage of the occasion, but what if Italy or Austria Hungary should embrace the opportunity to try out it's dread naughts? It Is painful even to consider the state of mind at the capital on the appearance of squadron off Boston Light. H,

STOLYPIN HAS
 A KIND HEART
From the London Leader.


 "Are my childer safe?'
 That was Stolypins cry when he escaped through the window of his pleasant villa, on the outskirts of St. Petersburg a few moments after the greater part of the building had been blown into the air by the explosion of a bomb.
 As he spoke his little daughter was carried from the ruins, moaning with pain. and he saw that her feet were crushed and bleeding. And the wild cry. wrung from this man of iron, was char acterstic of him. By nature he Is kind, good-hearted and even sensitive.
 He is the supreme example of a kind hearted man who is ruthless and cruel because he believes it to be his duty.
 First order; then reform" that was the motto he adopted when he came into power Had reforms been made at once the revolution would have. ceased. Stolypin made the fatal mistake of a man with out ina gination, and, instead of the con- structive politician he desired to be, he has been little more than a police off cial. The first part of his programme had, been carried out. By placing almost the entire empire under martial law, by hanging, imprisoning and exiling, he has restored a superficial order to Russia but he will be remembered as the -op- pressor of his fellow countrymen.
 Sometimes of a summer evening I used to so up the Neva to the Islands which form the delta of the river. The little steamer passed a palace with smotth lawns sloping down to the waters edge Along the bank was a high fence of tangled wires and great arc lamps threw 8 brilliant lghtson the grass and on the walls and windows. An armed police man in boat rowed slowly up and down close to the bank and within the wire entanglements were soldiers with rifles.
 This was the summer home of Stolypin. the Elagin palace, lent him by the czar, with the fear of assassination always upon him. Had he given the reform for which the whole nation was yearnng. the ghastly precautions would have been unnecessary. His stubborn adherence 10 a mistaken policy placed his life in con etant jeopardy.
 That his health has not broken down under the strain of nearly five years ir office is due to the fact that he is a man of iron nerve and of hearty habit He has probably worked harder and for more hours day than any man in Europe, and his endurance is partly due 10 an unfailing digestion. There are thousands who desire to avenge the blood of men and women he has had put to death or killed by the slow torture of prison and exile. One recoils before the night mare of the life from which he cannot escape.

beams make their way out at the back. top or sides. Deflectinp the Light


 Recent ordinances compelling motorists to cut the horizontal beam from their headlights within city limits, either oy means of a special shutter or mechanism fitted to the lamp for this purpose or by extinguishng the light altogether, have emphasized the fact that in designing and operating a head-lamp there are other users of the highways than car owners to be considered. The trouble. of course, is that the human eye is temporarily blinded by the rays of the reflected beam. For the protection of pedestrians on the country roads it Is. therefore, highly de- sirable to maintain in front of every car a safety zone within which no re- | fected rays reach a level of four feet six, the height of the average human eye above the ground. It is noteworthy that the dazzle produced by headlight bears no very definite reflection to its candle power The toy bulls eye lantern of boy, with it's insignificant oil wick, is almost as binding as the beam from the l most powerful seachlight.
 With view to minimizing the dazzling l effect the best position for the head lamp | appears to be at about two feet above the ground. Next to that seven feet has | been found to be the best height. -t | has been proved that if an object which would be clearly visible by starlight on clear night were placed at a point six | feet behind and six feet to the side or an average lamp, it would be plainly dis- cernble by person standing in the cen ter of the path of the beam at a dis- tance of 25 feet. This interval may, therefore, be taken to represent the ex- tent of the minimum danger zone ae- tainable with lamps unprovided with spe- cial non-dazzling devices, such as Vene- tian blinds of circular blackened slats fitted to the lenses. Incidentally, the op' lection to these last is that they greatly reduce both the range and width of the beam Tilting the lamp is remedy that has the same drawback.

Unappreciative Audience

 woodrow Wilson told this one after dinner:
 "There's nothing more disagreeable than want of appreciation, you know. A mul,-millionaire returned to his na- tive village and erected a ma rble palace on a hilltop there. One day, after the palace was completed, lie said to the postmaster and the crowd of lOiterers in the general store;
