Building Trunks for Flying Machines

Probably the biggest trunks ever built are four
which were made to order about year ago by
a New York manufacturer and which were de-
signed to carry aeroplanes.
There were two of these flying machines, both
monoplanes, and to carry them there were built
four giant trunks; trunk for each flying ma
chine body, one trunk in which the four wings,
each divided into two parts, were packed, and
fourth trunk in which were slowed four pro-
pellers.
Each of the body trunks is 36 feet long by about
As inches square. The trunk for the wings is rs
feet long and 12 feet broad at one end and feet
broad at the other, while the trunk for the pro
pellers is 8 feet long.
These tremendous trunks are finished outside
in the usual fashion, canvas covered with metallic
trimmings. They so strengthened and trussed
as to enable them to stand the strains to which
hey are likely to be sub jected in use OF course
40 baggageman that ever lived could sling those
trunks around and in fact the body trunks can't
be got into al ordinary side door car and have to
be transported in end door freight cars. The
trunks have been at least once to the Pacific
coast and so far under the stress Of handling and
travel they have stood up we'll
Very likely these are the only aeropIane trunks
ever built, but there are made to order many
runks for many odd uses. Theatrical trunks
built to order are designed to stand wear. and

they do. Besides trunks for the theatrical pro-
fession generally, there many special trunks
made to contain apparatus used in special acts
by stage performers; and there are built also
trunks for travelling musicians for orchestra play
ers for VAUDEVILLE performers.
Perhaps the most extraordinary of all nstru-
ment trunks is the harp trunk, which is not only
of great size but also Of peculiar shape. Another
big and remarkable trunk is that made for the
carrying of bass viol. This trunk, like that for
the harp, is made to conform to the shape of the
instrument. A bass viol trunk is 61A feet in
length Smaller trunks of the same style are
made for cellos.
Many brass instruments are carried by hand in
specially made holders, but brass instruments are
also carried about in trunks specially made for
them The player of big bass horn, for in
stance may have trunk especially built for it.
This would be big trunk in shape and proper

ment in all its varying dimensions, including the
big bell, a pocket into which the big horn fits
snugly and in which it rides safely. There may
be brass instrument trunks in which several
horns of smaller sizes may be securely slowed.

chemists description of all the symptoms and
postmortem appearances exactly coincided with
the careful observations made by Mr.. Archdae.
The latter was still further convinced by the
following statement: "The, whole course OF the
sickness sometimes covers only few hours. and
in a few cases death has been observed to follow
within five minutes after taking the salt" Thanks
to the skillful diagnosis of the Bozeman chemist,
the cause of the fatalities has been decisively
ascertained; but the question still remains as to
how these losses are to be prevented in future.

Her Unfortunate Error.

A literary lady at /. society dinner
was given a seat next to a noted
scientist whose views were very ma
terialistic, and at some remark he
made on the origin Of mankind, the
lady found her temper tried beyond
all bearing, so that she retorted: Il
really don't care what you say. be-
lieve in the Bible, and there we are
told that Adam was the father Of all
living"
Il really think you are mistaken"
he said with smile, and so the sub
ject dropped.
A few days later the lady, writing
to bosom friend, told her of the oc-
currence and added: Il am too morti-
fed, for have looked the matter up
and it only says that Eve was the
mother of all living, and so l don't
know whether to write to the profess

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain

Lying awake nights makes It hard

under such circumstances is like set

A lady changed from her old way Of
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:

when I started on Grape-Nuts, vom-
