Why can Pianos be bought in
large quantities at the factory for
less money than they are retailed
by the dealersS Because the impor-
tant item OF selling expense must be
reckoned with - the expense Of
salesmen's salaries, lights, rents, adj
vertising, drayage. etc, must be
met.
In combining several hundred
buyers into one club we are placing
members in exactly the same posi-
ton as the dealer. We are selling
hundreds OF Pianos direct from the
factory TO the home and at the same
time giving them the additional adj
vantage OF unusually easy payments.
This is one OF the things that a
large business concern like the
House OF Eilers can afford TO do oc-
casionally and. believe US, we have
found that II pays-and pays big.
Five hundred Pianos are not many
TO distribute over the great North
west, and our advice IS that, If you
want one OF the superb instru-
ments at these prices on the club
plan, you must write or see US at
once.

Suddenly FITZGERALD stopped I'm front

had come TO him. His long, artistic
fingers followed the dotted lines, and
then, taking out his watch from his

pointed Buoy Tender.

POHeSe OhOy leuucTs
Some years ago it was resolved to
buoy the shoals in the sea of Mar
mora. some OF which extend to a mile
or more from the shore. An English
naval officer was lent by the English
to the Turkish government in order to
carry out this and other measures.
He laid down the buoys and was sur
prised to find that the Turks thought
that thereupon the whole business was
concluded. He pointed out. however,
that buoys require care. that 1t II
necessary to repaint them from time to
time. to pump the water out of them
and to see that they remain duly an
chored in their right position. To con-
vince the Turks of this took n consid-
cradle time; but. being at length con-
WINGED, they appointed a man espe-
cially to take charge of the buoys.
Some months later. however. the
English officer heard shocking reports
of these buoys and many complaints
Of them, and on going out to inspect
them be found the paint worn off and
most of the buoys waterlogged. Here
upon he wrathfully found the man in
charge and demanded an explanation
The man informed him that he had

One Way Of Determining q Vessels
Course on an Ocean Voys!Ie.
Dead reckoning simply mea rs the
computation Of a ships longitu de and
latitude from her movements as re-
corded I'm the log and without havin g
recourse to astronomical observ alton s.
The chief elements from which the
reckoning is made are these:
The point Of departure-that is the
latitude and longitude sailed fro n or
last determined-the course or d rec
ton sailed in as ascertained by the
compass. the rate of sailing. meas ured
from time to time by the log, ant the
time elapsed.
The various principles or met hods
followed in arriving at the recko udng
are known among navigators as "p ain
sailing" and middle latitude sail e."
However, the data thus obtained are
always liable TO considerable errors by
reason of currents. Ieeway, fluctuat ons
OF the wind and changes I'm the ID ,cli-
nation of the compass. The res ults
arrived at by dead reckoning. tn ere
fore, must of necessity be corrected as
often as possible by observation OF the
heavenly bodies. No navigator would
risk relying wholly on this method of
determining his position on an ocean
voyage.-New York Times.
