GERMAN TYPE OF OIL ENGINE
Built to Run With Liquid Tar as Fue,
Test Successful and Larger
Ones Being Built

A new German type of oil engine is
built to run with liquid tar as fuel.
One Of the large gas companies had
the engine designed In order to see
whether such tar coming from coal
tar distillation could not be used to
operate an engine The present en-
CINE Is built for 100-horse power and
was tested by coupling with a dyna-
mo. Starting and heating up in the
hrst place was done by means OF par
aim oil. The engine was run on &C.
hour endurance test, carrying two
thirds load, and after the trial it was
found that the valves and the other
parts were very clean and there was
no deposit such as might be feared
inside the engine. A very regular run
ming was also one OF the good points
observed. following this successful
test. there are to be built engines OF
much larger size, which are to give
'GO0-horse power 1t is found that the
full value Of the tar comes not far
below that OF paraffin oil for the same
weight.

Effect Of Promotion.

about his faithful negro boy, Jim. the
son of his old nanny. whom he took

not large man, except in the traits
which make great men and great sol

After the Battle of Corinth, where
he was promoted to the rank of ma.

into his tent and called his servant.
"Jim," he said, when you make up
my cot, tuck those blankets we'll in at

Looking up at him with an amused
look, Jim said, "Marse Dabney, you

NEW GERMAN WATER CYCLE
Exceedingly Light in Construction and
Framework Supports Seat
Moves Quite Easily.

They are using new form of wa
ter cycle in Germany. 1t is of ex-
ceedingly simple construction. A
couple of parallel, pointed, water
tight tubes Of galvanized iron, 10h
feet In length, are attached to each
other az feet apart. A light frame
work supports seat. Beneath this
is pair of pedals, the motion of
which is communicated to propeller
blades. A handle bar in front of the
seat is connected with rudder. The
traveller using this novel craft. by a
pedal action identical with that of the
ordinary bicycle, moves easily over
the surface OF the water, and alters
his direction promptly at will. He has
an advantage over the power in fac
ing forward, as does canoe paddler.
The total weight. of one-seated n.y.
drocycle is 66 pounds. The inventor,
an Austrian (Herr FIR. Kaspar), at
tains a speed of six to seven miles
per hour. The new craft offers an
agreeable variation from ordinary
rowing, for use on inland waters and
along the seashore.

HER IDEA OF HONOR.

Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker. the new

ton of their being so.
"A woman of this type was play
ing bridge. Her partner passed the
make to her. and she made 1t dia-
monds; but her hand, on being put
down. was found to contain only two
diamonds, both very low cards.
What on earth induced you to go
diamonds on such a hand as that"
her partner asked.
Its your fault she answered pet
ulantly. Why did you twiddle your
diamond ring?'"

size of the room to the extent of the
seat, but they add more to the appear
ance Of the room because these win
dows may be dressed up very nicely.
The seats are usually fitted with cush-

colors.
A little ingenuity will make such a
seat very comfortable and the light Is
so good that they are preferred for
reading and the children like such
places for studying. 1t requires a lit
tie care to arrange them to look we'll
and at the same time have them sery-
iceable so that you do not feel nervous
when the children appropriate them to
their own purposes, especially the
window seat in the dining room. II
is not necessary that children should
use the front room for their play.
They can enjoy themselves better in
some of the Others rooms and annoy

A sewing room is one of the neces-

have sewing going on in one of the liv-

This is ten room house. Some
times when there are number of chill
dren in growing family a house of
ten rooms becomes necessity.
Ideas in regard to the size Of houses
have changed very much in the last
ten years. People are not now build
ing larger than they need, not so much
because the expense Of building has
somewhat increased, but the principal
reason is that help cannot be secured
to do the necessary housework A
great many women have killed them
selves trying TO keep a large house
looking nice enough to satisfy their
women friends, but women are learn
ing wisdom and are becoming content
with smaller houses, houses that pro-
vide just room enough for their fam
lilies and one or two occasional guests
Sometimes families need house with
four or five bedrooms, then a plan
like this seems to fit in just right.
Looking at the perspective it will
be noticed that this house tones up
with the best of them. 1t is the kind
of building that satisfies persons
pride and every one should have
pride enough to appreciate a good
home and feel satisfied with It,
The mere fact of having large
house won't satisfy anybody. There
must be more to home than the
building, but family of from six to
ten persons should be able to estab.
fish very satisfactory home in a
house like this.
The building is thirty feet in width
by thirty-seven feet six inches in
length and the porch is extra, a size
sufficient to lay out nicely into large
pleasant rooms, with convenient hall
ways, stairways, etc. 1t is impossible
to get nine or ten good and sufficient
rooms in a house much smaller. II
