FOR SAFETY TO THE DRIVER
Mirrors Installed on Streets Of English

Mirrors at street corners to provide

the cross streets have been Installed
in at least two towns in England. In
Folkestone there Is an acute angle
street crossing where one corner is
built up close to the curb. On this
corner is placed a 24x24 inch mirror
supported on gas pipe standards at
such an angle that drivers Of vehicles
coming toward the built-up corner
from either of the two opposite streets
can see UP the streets at right angles
to their path.
The engineer in charge states that

Chester County, Pennsylvania, on No

His discharge from the Constitution

suggested to Mr.. Rauch that in 1886,
on the anniversary of that event, he
witnessed at the Philadelphia navy
yard the launching Of the United
States line of battle-ship Pennsylvania,
then the largest sea-going vessel in
the world.
THE Pennsylvania was what was
called a four-decker," said Mr.. Rauch,
although she really had five decks,
She was pierced for lao guns, but real

guns in those days-of which the
heaviest were Contemporaries.
"The Pennsylvania had been start

halfway out of the ways and had
nearly rotted to pieces when the gov
eminent decided to finish her. She
was never really equipped, but tool
the spars of the Ohio and sailed tc
Norfolk, where she became schoo

Hot Weather Drink.

Philip Hale, one of Boston's latter
day philosophers, recommends barley
water as a more sensible drink for hot
weather than "ice-cold" blends of wa
ters, sirups, acids, gulped at the mar
BILE fountains. Mr. Hales recipe for
his favorite tipple is as follows:
For three pints of water you will
require a teacupful and a half of well
washed pearl barley, four Jumps of
sugar and the thin rind and juice of
one lemon. Pour boiling water over
It, cover with a saucer and let 1t stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour into jug"
A buttermilk fan adds:
Then set the jug in cool place
and forget it."
