VAL VIZ OF GIANT
 ]. SIZE BUILT HERE.
To Be Permanent Exhibit at Crane Co.'s Chicago
 Headquarters

A giant valve, standing IS feet high, with 6 foot opening and weighing IS tons, has just been completed at the West End works of the Crane Valve Company, and will shortly be shipped to Crane Company, Chicago, where it is to be exhibited as a sam pie of Bridgeport skill. ,. This is the fourth of a lot of these immense valves that the Bridgeport plant has recently built. They are technically known as 72s inch Crane Low Pressure Iron Body Gate Valves. and they are made to stand 50 pounds hydraulic working pressure. One of them was shipped last November for the city of Tacoma, Wash, water works system, and two more were shipped in February to the Light and Power Commission at Marquette, Mich. It was necessary to send each valve on car by itself
 The valve just finished is to be put to a novel use, for it is. to be erected as an exhibit in the handsome new main office of Crane Company, Chi cago. The valve is so huge that it will be necessary to erect the building around it. After the foundation has been. laid, the. valve will be placed upon suitable mountaing in a yer tical position. As it will extend
 
 central attraction in a large rotunda, it will constitute a very striking ex- position of one of the main products Made in Bridgeport" The new of flee building will be located opposite Grant Park.
 - The manufacture of these big valves is matter of great pride to the Crane Valve Company, Gs up to a couple of years ago the largest valve made here was a AS inch, after which quite a of 60 inch valves were built. 1t was necessary to put up an en- tirely new building and install new cranes and machines to handle the 72 inch valves.
 The great progress in hydraulic en- gineering is indicated by the fact that not many years ago when the pres ent corporation was the Eaton, Cole & Burnham Co., the largest valve made was a "A inch and there were very few of those.
 The 72 inch valve will be operated by hand wheel in conjunction with a spur gear. Two of the other valves, already shipped were automatically operated by electric motors and such valves are sometimes operated by hydraulic cylinders. The valve has bronze spindle weighing $50 pounds, has bronze bearings throughout, and has attached to it's side a smaller valve, with a 10 inch opening, known as a bypass The fanges are 87 Inches in diameter.
 Some idea of the valves size may be gleaned from the fact that when open tall man may walk right through it.

KANE'S HOME SET
 ON FIRE IN NIGHT
Family Had to Hustle to Escape Flames State
 Police Busy

Oakville, Conn.,, May 1S-The State police who have been investigating in- cendiary fires here and who left the place yesterday, have been recalled to look into a fire which today 1e- stroyed the home of William Kane with loss of $2,000. '
 Early this morning the family was aroused by the barking Of a dog and found the house on fire and filled with smoke It was with difficulty that they made their way out. Despite the efforts of the local fire depart ment the flames consumed all but the shell of the building.
 An investigation by the Waterbury police disclosed a quantity of burlap under the front porch in the cellar way. There were no fires in the house and the police are strongly of the be- lief that it was the work of the in- cendiary who has been terrorizing this part of the country for the past month.

FIRST CASE OF ITS KIND .. Airman Arrested for Alighting II
 Machine In Public Park

Chicago, May 18-Farnurn T. Fish ap- peared in police court today to answer the charge of alighting in an aero plane in public park, contrary to Section. 51, of Chapter ' of the only ordinance in the world that conTpels ayiators to Keep off the grass in a park.
 Fish; who is the youngest licensed aviator in the world, was making a trial flight over the city when his motor slowed and he was caught in an air pocket. He had only one chance to save his life and his machine and he sailed downward to safety in Grant Park.
 When the sergeant at the station displayed the ordinance to him Fish admitted:
 Chicago. is away ahead of the times'
 The aviator is IS years old. He had taken Miss Muriel Johnson, of Elgin. III. for a ride into the air and was compelled to land as his motor would not work in the strong gale that blew from Lake Michigan. He was trying the machine alone when he found he had very little power to work his pro- pellers and successfully volplaned to the park

CeAturies ago great, elaborate books Wefe written about flowers, and the kinds even then were many and some of the forms were marvellous. Wor.
 ship and praise have centered about howeu ana garlands rather than about
 tho fruit1 that we eat. This marks them to have been considered as of the Higher things. All holy and great occaaons need them if the occ&sioAs are complete. Not soul but responds fo blossoms Oven though he knows it not. No soul passes lily in blow, an apple erchard in May, a clover field swept with red or good garden lying at his feet, but that some mere refiec-
 ton of 1t enters into his mind and lodges itDeh in some nexus of the brain. It would be difacult for any man to imagine a fowerless world, and If he conjured it in his dream he would find himself sitting in some oasis of
 greenery and bloom. - Flower Maga- zine.
