MACHINE THAT WALKS
TO IT'S OWN WORK

At Whitby, in Yorkshire, may be
seen an ingenious device specially de-
signed for carrying out marine work.
1t is nothing less than a travelling
stage, SO devised that it can be made
TO walk out to it's work and return to
shore again when desired. 1t is now
being used for the construction of
concrete breakwaters and is the in
vention of the engineers carrying out
this work, Messrs. w. Hill & Co.
Like many other contrivances. il is
absurdly simple, and the wonder is
that the idea has never been con-
ceived before.
The machine has eight legs and
feet, four of which are used at a time
when in motion. There are two mas
slve steel framework structures, one
inside the other, the outer being
square and the inner rectangular, the
latter being somewhat smaller than
the other. The legs, comprising
stout members, which can be moved
up and down vertically for a consid-
cradle distance, are fitted at the
corners OF each stage and are point
ed at the lower end to secure a firm
grip upon the rocky seabed.
The walking action is secured as
front legs lowered until the spuds or
Ieet secure grip upon the seabed
The legs of the inner stage are than
raised to clear all distractions wien
the stage is moved forward the full
extent of its travel, which brings it
against the forward end of the outer
stage, when its legs are lowered to
the ground. The legs of the outer
stage are now elevated vertically so
that the latter rests upon the former.
The outer stage is now moved for
ward until the inner stage is brought
into contact with the rear end of the
outer stage. The legs of the last
named are then lowered, those of the
inner stage raised, and the same cy-
Gle or operations is repeated BY this
alternate movement of the inner and
outer stages the machine proceeds to
Its work, and when the site of op-
erations is at last gained the whole
OF the eight feet are caused to rest
upon the seabed to hold the struc-
ture rigid.
The walking man" is quite a mas
sive affair. The outer frame is AZ
IL feet square, and it stands 33
feet high from the bottom of the
spuds to the working deck level,
Ihe inner stage is 29 1-2 by 40 IA
| feet. The result is that the machine
can make forward stride of about
ten feet, while the inner stage can
move sideways for about three feet.
The feet are raised and lowered by
screw gearing driven by electric mo-
tors. A complete movement for
ward can be effected in fifteen min
utes.
1t has been found that, with this
travelling stage, work can be con-
tinued in the roughest weather. In
deed, it was heavy seas experienced
at Peterhead that led to it's inven-
ton. One is now working for the
admiralty at Dover and has exper-
| fenced some very heavy seas.

ABOUT YOUR VACATION.

Just about now you are making
plans for your vacation. See to it
that you go to a healthful place.
Don't tolerate conditions that you
would not endure in your own home
Many people who are very particu-
lar about their drinking water and
their milk when they are at home
are careless about both when they
go away.
Last summer a number of persons
who had been at a certain resort re-
turned home with typhoid fever.
Don't make the mistake they did.
but inquire about the water and milk
supply of the place you expect to
visit. If you have small children
with you, it is especially important
that you be particular about the
milk. Dirty milk may bring the
germs of tuberculosis to the child
who is very susceptible to that dis
ease. Be as particular about the
boarding house or the hotel where
you will spend your vacation as you
would be in renting or buying a
new house in which to live.
Don't swim or bathe in dirty wa
ter. You are almost sure to get
some of it into your mouth and if
typhoid fever germs are present you
will probably contract the disease.
Above all things select a vacation
place from which you will not re-
turn physically and mentally tired.
but from which you will come back
with a refreshed mind and a sound
body.

THE UTILIZATION OF
THE CHESTNUT TREE.

While the average newspaper
reader has a fair knowledge of the
unpleasant fact that a comparatively
new forest enemy threatens to exter-
inmate our wealth of chestnut trees.
there are but small proportion who
are familiar with the Wholesale de-
struction of trees that has been oc-
casioned by the chestnut tree blight.
Since thousands of trees have al
ready been killed, and thousands of
others are in a hopelessly diseased
condition, necessitating their cutting
down, the great economic question
OF converting such trees into market
able products at fair prices con-
fronts the owners.
The Pennsylvania Chestnut Tree
Blight Commission received numer-
GUS inquiries bearing upon the i'm
portant question of marketing
chestnut products, and as a result, a
special investigation nto the subject
was commenced in order that parties
interested could be furnished with
the best available facts and figures.
1t developed that certain products,
such as telegraph and telephone
poles, railroad ties, boards, etc, COM
mand fair average prices; but cord
wood in remote sections was an un-
certain, II not unremunerative factor.
When fannie acid factories are avail
able or accessible because of favor
able transportation rates, there is no
trouble about disposing OF chestnut
wood, since all parts of the tree are
useable in the making of tannic acid,
a product extensively used by tan
ners.

WOmen'S Column
The Elderly Woman.

During the past few years it has
been noticeable that there are
no longer any "middle-aged" women.
This applies somewhat to fashions,
which are said to be designed only
for the young. Since this is true,
to a certain extent, it seems a good
plan to take modern styles and
adapt them to suit the individual
needs There is no woman, no mat
ter what her age, who likes to look
out of date.
During the summer there will be a
fancy for quaint fashions, and the
elderly woman can take advantage
of these. For instance, there is the
tichu. AS a drapery it is becoming
to any woman between the ages
of nineteen and ninety. There is
also the trimmed skirt. Only a few
elderly women can wear plain skirts,
and the others will rejoice this year
to learn that nearly all skirts are
being trimmed The very short
woman can preserve her height by
running a panel down the back of
the waist from neck to hem and still
find the drapery in the front quite
becoming-if she is stout as we'll as
short.
One of the mistakes of the very
thin or the stout woman is to wear
closely fitting arments-though it
is sometimes a difficult matter to
convince the latter type of this
truth. The process of eliminating all
fullness can be overdone by the
stout woman, and a suspicion of
drapery will always be more becom-
ing than smooth fit.
The latest ideas in neckwear are
just as becoming to the elderly
woman as to the young girl She
should make a point of wearing,
whenever possible, the fluffy frill OF
white tulle, banded with black vel
vet and sometimes described as a
"choker."
This is late idea, and the frills
can measure any width from four to
eight inches according to taste. The
proper proportions will be one inch
of the frill showing above and two
inches below a band of black velvet
an inch wide. The other widths will
be in proportion. In case the neck
is very thin and scrawny and the
chest inclined to be fiat, the frills
are very becoming, while cuffs to
match are allowed.
robably the prettiest neck finish
for the elderly woman is an incon-
spicuous lavalliere or a very simple
brooch. 1t is especially good for a
generous figure, and goes we'll with
the frills. The tleshy woman should
not attempt ruffles at the wrists, the
turnback cuffs and bands being
more appropriate. The fat woman
can see finish of threaded beading
for her summer frocks.
This should not be too narrow,
and it is not an easy matter to apply
the beads so as to look really we'll.
The neck of the dress ought to be
cut well up to the throat and fitted
smoothly, and the beading can be
adjusted while the dress is upon the
wearer. The little point at the front
is more becoming than a square or a
round incision.
The gray-haired woman may
choose almost any costume and not
suffer it's effects, but by giving a lit
tie thought to the question she may
become a strikingly gowned woman.
Black and white can be worn In
combination with just a touch of
some delicate color in the proper
shade and the correct proportions.
