The best material for the lantern is
No. 80 gauge sheet brass. You can
buy this from almost any dealer in
sheet metal. If you have any difficulty
in getting brass, however, you can
use tin, which is generally easy to OBJ
tain. An empty varnish can, or a large
paint can will supply you with plenty
good enough tin
Fig. 2 shows a pattern of the Ian
tern sides. Fig. 8 shows a pattern of
the top, and Fig. shows the top ring.
The right-hand portion of the patterns
for the side and top pieces shows the
main measurements for the design to
be perforated on the metal, and at the

a circular piece Of brass of large

are made out of two screw-eyes, by

of chain to keep them from being lost

CURED. The passenger train was ten
minutes late and was going at forty
miles an hour around a sharp curve
in the state university grounds near
the University avenue crossing when
Engineer Fitzgerald sighted the
switch engine a few rods ahead. Fitz-
gerald applied the emergency brakes,
and yelled to fireman Tormey to jump,
but it was too late.
The force of the collision caused the
locomotives to plunge two feet into
each other, the coal tender of the pas
senger engine to mount the boiler and
the baggage and smoking cars to be
partly telescoped The baggageman
escaped injury because he was in the
rear end of his car. Passengers in
the smoking car were violently
thrown against seats and other fix
lures in the coach and were implis-
oned for some minutes until a hole
was chopped through the side of the
car and they were taken out one by
one.

There are several forms of packs

when the box is nailed there will be
