NOBLEMAN AN INVENTOR.
Designs New Form Of Umbrella.
Many Covers Possible.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
VIENNA, April 8. 1912.
Count Bella Forgach. a Hungarian noble
man. has invented a real "en-tont-cas."
which he hopes will take the place of the
ordinary umbrella and parasol.
The invention consists in the frame and
the cover ching SO made that the latter is
instantly detachable. while another
cover can be put on in few seconds
without any sewing being necessary.
Each frame is sold with several covers.
one black for rain. and the others white
or colored. according to the fancy of the
buyer or to suit her dresses. 1t Is claim
ed, therefore, that one OF these parasols
with stock OF covers will be SUFFICIENT
to take to the most fashionable summer
resort.

THE GUEST CHEST.
Evolution of an Admirable Idea for
the Hospitality Inclined.
From the Delineator.

from the Deuneat0r.
Mrs Cornell was possessed of a large
family, large house. and ever so many
friends. She decided that her friends
should find her home a comfortable place
to visit. The guestroom In her house
was carefully planned and furnished. In
short, Mrs. Cornell considered her guest
room all that 1t should be. When the
house mother was ordered south for sew
eral months she left Sarah, a capable
young niece, in charge of her family anu
niece the entire working system OF her
menage. The niece. being human, prompt
ly forgot all these instructions. Things
ran smoothly until an unexpected guest
arrived, and then Sarah's troubles began.
The household supply of table and bed
linen was exhausted. She needed bath
towels. but all the bath towels had been
sent to the laundry that morning. Extra
blankets-and the perturbed Sarah was
reduced to the expedient of robbing her
own bed.
The missing things-that is. the extra
things-were in their proper places. but
to the woman who couldn't find them
they were practically nonresident, and
out of her bitter shame the guest chest
was evolved.
The guest chest, Sarah decided. should
be in every household. whether that
household is fortunate enough to possess
erous size will do for beginning. though
a quantity carved oak chest or cedar
chest would be better. OF whatever
order the guest chest should be in har-
mony with the general scheme OF furnish
ing and decoration. Into 1t should go
everything likely to be needed by the
guest who comes to stay for the night. or
who is persuaded to stay without prepa-
ration. Into 1t may go many more con-
veniences and articles that will add to

BERLIN, April 2O.-Prof. Paul Ehrlich,
the celebrated scientist, had the courtesy

peutics at Frankfort-on-Main and to dis

achievements. and particularly his i'm

Prof. Ehrlich states that he has al
ready been overwhelmed with applica-

parts Of the world.

Would Avoid Disaster.

prof. Won Wasermann Of Berlin and
I. who are collaborating, are determined
to avoid such distressing mistakes as oc-
CURED in the case of the discovery Of
tuberculin. We intend to prevent. as far
as lies in our power, repetition of events
such as those caused by over-haste in the
employment of Prof. Koch's celebrated
remedy
Prof. Ehrlich was still more reticent
regarding his Improved 6O8," which will
be called "Neo-Salvarsan.' He said:
Here. too. we are not entirely beyond
the experimental stage. We want posi-
tive evidence Of at least 10000 treated
cases before putting the improved drug
on the market. DR.. Schneider of Magde-
burg, who had the earliest results, and
has since made the most comprehensive
experiments with 6O6,' feels sufficiently
convinced Of the efficacy of 'Neo-Salvar-
san to make formal announcement of it
at an early meeting Of an important Ger
man medical society.

Canadlum,
From Harper's Weekly.


Scotchman. A. G. French, has dis
covered q new element in the Nelson dis
trict Of British Columbia. The new metal,
to which the discoverer gives the name
"canadium." belongs to the group of eIe-
ments of which platinum and palladium
are members. 1t occurs comparatively
abundantly In certain minerals in the
form of grains Of varying Dimensions.
Various samples that have been as
sayed yielded from about ones xth of
an ounce to about three and q half ounces
to the ton. The metal seems to be un-
affected by moisture. and 1t is impossible
to make 1t tarnish or oxidize even in tue
blowpipe. 1t Is more ductile and more
malleAble than lead and its melting point
Is lower than that Of this metal
Scales. Of the new metal have been sent
to the University Of Glasgow for further
study. The element seems to be quite
distinct from platinum. palladium. ruthe.
n UNI and osmium, and the mine from
which It was taken appears to be rich in
other metals Of this group.

BY PHInLR EVERETT.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, April 2O-Off1cial government
reports show that the number OF deser-
tons from the British army last year
reached the surprising height of LOGO or
nearly 100 more than the previous year
Though very little is ever said about 1t
IN the press, 1t Is generally known that
the recruiting authorities find it more and
more difficult to find the necessary num-
Der OF suitable young men for the army,
and that to fill the gaps in the ranks all
sorts of human derelicts and even ex-
convicts are taken. with the result that
the army is not thought by all to be al
together reliable. at least not for strike
work.
The fact that the army is known to con-
tain a greater number of social out
casts explains why the British military
authorities are exceedingly afraid Of the
attempts OF the syndicalists to influence
the army. These attempts are far more
numerous than the public knows. and
while they have been rather unsuccessful
in the navy, army officers are well aware
that In nearly every regiment there are
quite number Of privates who are not to
be entirely trusted. This number Is in
source Of great worry to the military au-
thorities.
Fear for Princes Morals.
The fact that the young Prince Of Wales
Is to spend several months In the city
of Paris. which to a great many people is
far worse than Sodom was when
the Lord destroyed 1t, is causing consid-
cradle uneas.ness among people here who
are afraid that their future king will
imbibe continental ideas while abroad.
and thus become unfit to rule a righteous
people like the English. The greatest
fear Of these people has been that the
prince should acquire taste for spending
Sunday IN the continental way. but hear
on excellent authority that Queen Mary
has been careful to prevent such calam-
ity. Under no circumstances will the
prince. while he is abroad, be permitted
to attend Sunday races, theaters or con-
certs. 1t is even doubtful whether his
royal highness will be present at dinner
parties or any sort Of entertainments on
that day. which is a favorite one in
France for conviviality.
It Is reported that the prince will at
tend morning service on Sundays at the
English church in the Rue Auguste Vac
querie, which is close to the Hotel de
Breteuil, insted of the one in the Rue
d Aguesseau, near the British embassy.
King Edward generally attended the lat
ter during his sojourns in the French
capital.

EFFECTIVE FUEL SAVERS
Mechanical Economizers Used
with Natural Draft.

All large consumers Of coal will be inter
ested in the following editorial opinion ex-
pressed by The Engineering Magazine. "
On the relative efficiency OF natural draf,
secured by stacks and that obtained by
mechanical appliances. usually referred 70
as forced draft the writer says:
The success OF tho economizer with
natural draft secured by stacks is too fully
demonstrated 10 need assertion. Consider
ing not only number Of plants, but total
horsepower thus equipped, the figures are
largely on the side OF the natural draft IN
stallation. for the list is headed by the
large electric railway systems. such as the
New York Interurban, London Under
ground, Paris Suburban. the great sugar
rehneries OF New York. Brooklyn. Phila-
delphia, New Orleans and San Francisco.
many OF the most important cotton mills
throughout New England and others. The
merit and virtue OF the economizer, OF
course. IS its recovery OF heat from tho
furnace gases: and this direct recovery
and other causes necessarily lower the
stack temperature; but against this must
be set the consideration that for a given
horsepower developed the econom!zer will
save an important percentage OF the fuel
burned and require correspondingly less
draft
Other points upon which emphasis
should be laid are those OF proper design OF
the fues and the arrangement OF the econo-
mizor itself In many cases an alteration
in fue arrangement may give improved
draft concurrently with the installation OF
economical sections. The increased use OF
mechanical draft with economlzers Is In
deed most probable, but the increase VIII

present conditions. but from the continuous
demand for a constantly progressing In
