cfded upon. The New York exhibition
Will be held in its entirety in the Grand

for exhibiting the products of the auto

Power Boat and Two Schooners to
Receive Attention.

veloped Friday night as the vessel lay
at the navy yard. the power boat John
Beck, belonging to Clarke d Winston
OF this city. was yesterday brought
around to Benefits boatyard to be
hauled out on the larger marine railway
there According TO report the Beck had
been leaking a little, but not enough
to endanger her safety. Friday after
noon. when the worknen employed in
building the new wall about the navy
yard left the work, the boat was pumped
out. but that night the leak became
larger and it required hard work with
hand pumps to keep her from going to
the bottom. The Beck is used as
tender TO the wharf building plant of the

and other equipment now required by
improved standards. The old-time bak-
cry. with its unsereened windows, it's

methods is condemned by every bakers
organization. These organizations, in
most instances. are most active in en-
forcing any legal enactment looking
toward the improvement of the trade.
even though it may seem to impose
in individual cases.
Germany has nearly 100000 bakeries
employing about 100000 persons.
About half of these are connected with
the trade organizations. One Of the
results Of the organized work among
German bakeries is the increased
of white bread which is eaten
by the people Of all classes. 1t is
claimed that the baking of certain
coarse. black bread, which was once
the chief food of the peasantry. has
been almost discontinued and that the
newer breads are more nutritious and
despite some long existing
prejudice in favor Of the hard. sour.
dark loaves which. upon chemical
analysis, seem unfit for human food.

DROPS MARINE CHARTS.
Weather Bureau Hereafter Will Fur
nish Data to photographic Office.

The August issue Of the weather bu-
reau meteorological chart OF the ocean
is the last that division Of the govern
ment service will issue, and the charts
for the great lakes will end with the
September issue. The discontinuance Of
these charts does not mean that mariners
will be deprived of the Information they
contained, for the photographic office
will continue to issue its charts, and the
stoppage of the weather bureau charts
will doubtless cause a large increase in
the demand for the photographic Office
publication.
The weather bureau will continue to
collect all meteorological reports. as 1t
has done since December 1, 1904. and the
photographic office will continue to pub
lish the result of such collection on the
pilot charts of the oceans in addition to
other matter usual thereto.
The change means that the weather bu-
reau has decided to discontinue publica-
ton of marine meteorological reports in
the form Of periodical charts, and that
hereafter the public will receive meteoro-
logical data in proper form through pilot
charts published by the photographic
Office.

To Extend Chicago Hall.

For the Chicago show the gallery of
the Coliseum will be extended at the
sides and each end of the building will
be heightened by twenty-four feet, this
arrangement adding 5000 more feet of
space for the exhibits. The aisles will
extend around the inside Of the balcony
instead of the outside, as heretofore, so
that the exhibition space will be given
greater depth There will be also
slight Encouragement Of the main floor.
Three-fourths of the center of the main
floor Of the armory will be devoted to
the exhibition of electrics. So success
full was the plan last year that the
Electric Vehicle Association has asked
for and has been granted larger space.

Since some form Of bread has existed
almost from the beginning of the his
tory of mankind. ii is probable that the
earliest organizations of industry were
formed by the men who provided this
bread. In the days of the early Egyp-
tians. public bakeries existed and the
bakers formed sort of league for the
regulation Of the price of bread and
t.c cost Of baking. Although baking
since has been considered a domestic
occupation. most of the bread used in
that day was baked outside of the home
