heavier than any other vessel now in commits
sion in our navy except her sister ship. the
North Dakota She is also the speediest of all
our battleships built or building being capable
of a gait of "a or 25 miles per hour, which is
dictinctly going some" for so ponderous cratt,
and which will enable her to make good timo
on her round trip beyond Cape Horn If neces-
sity should arise
The Delaware is the heaviest armed of all
our "peacemakers" excepting of course her
twin sister, the North Dakota. She carries ten
of the big 12inch guns, four of which were
few years ago considered ample for any battle
ship. and in addition she has ranged on her
sides IA of the tremendously effective o-lnch
guns, to say nothing of whole array of smaller
naval shooting irons" Some Of these latter

ones used on the present cruise and then merely
for firing salutes. The Delaware has ships
company of record-breaking size-56 officers and
nearly 800 men.

TOWN Of NEW CASTLE
WANTS DUPONT BOULEVARD
TRUSTEES OF COMMONS WILL
GIVE LAND FOR HIGHWAY
Lively Discussion in Which Damages
Asked for Strip-Survey Touches
Outskirts of the Town

Chauncey P. Holcomb appeared
before the meeting of the Trustees
of the Commons of New Castle,
Tuesday night in reference to
theduPont boulevard. The sur
vey touches the Commons farms
on the out skirts of the city.
The Trustees of the Nav Castle
County Hospital had given permis-
sion to run the road on each side of
the road. Mr.. Holcomb said what it
needed now is the good will of the
Trustees in case of condemnation
proceeding of land held by them.
The proposed road route there would
cover about one mile and the total
amount of land required would be
about sixteen acres. This is the
nearest that the boulevard can be
brought to New Castle. Mr.. Nc
Grory favored agreeing to a nominal
condemnation price for the land,
provided the buildings are taken
care of by the road owners. He
moved that it be the sense of the
Board to accept nominal condemna-
tion price for the boulevard route
and that the Trustees do everything
in their power to assist the enter
prise. The motion was unanimously
adopted. Mr.. Deemer said if the
boulevard came along the river road
he would give 200 feet of his farm
to the builders. He seconded the
motion made by Mr.. McGrory. The
Boulevard Company will replace all
buildings which will be removed.
Mr.. Janvier said he would like to
see the boulevard go along the State
road.

CONCRETE FURNITURE

says he Gan Make 1t For Halt the Cost
of Wood.-Bedroom Suits for SIS
Thomas A. Edison's recent an
nouncement that he would make it
possible to build a concrete house
for 81, 900 was followed up last week
by his promise that in the near fu-
ture he would put on the market
concrete furniture, so that the new
ly-weds instead of fitting out their
homes on the instalment plan with
$3.50 worth of dubious chairs,
tables etc., could invest 5000 and
rival "palatial residences with
their display. The inventor has
already made a reinforced concrete
cabinet for the ponograph, and
pieces of furniture made in the new
way are on their way to Chicago
and back to show what they can
stand in the way of resisting hand
ling by freight men. At present the
weight of the concrete furniture
is about one-third greater than
wooden furniture, but Edison ex-
poets to reduce the excess to one
quarter. The concrete surface can
be stained, Edison says, so as to
look like any kind of wood desired.
His phonograph cabinet has been
trimmed in white and gold. Its
surface is lik" that of enameled
wood. Not only is the concrete
cheaper, Edison said, but it has
better acoustic properties than the
| old fashioned wood cabinet. "Can l
make concrete furniture repeated
Edison when the question was asked.
"Of course | can. I am gong to
have concrete furniture on the
market in the near future that will
make it possible for the laboring
man to put furniture in his home
more artistic and more durable than
is now to be found in the most
palatial residences in Paris or along
the Rhine" "Will it be cheap p?"
"Of course it will. If l couldn' t
put out my concrete furniture
cheaper than the oak that comes
from Grand Rapids l wouldn't 90
into business. If newlywed starts
out with, say, $3.50 worth of furni-
ture on the instalment plan | feel
confident that we can give him more
artistic and more durable furniture
for 5000. I'll also be able to put
out a whole bedroom set for SIS or
