those so small that they produce the

In spite of all the ruffles and ripples

the large checks must be plainly

One gratifying thing about checks

SHOWS ALTITUDE OF STARS
British Physicist Has instrument
Which Is Expected to Be Of Spe-
clal Value to Aeronauts.

In determining position by means OF
a sextant, as in the case of an observer
at the North pole, the altitude of star
or the sun is measured from the sea-
horizon, or from an artificial horizon
when the natural one is not visible.
1t is often impossible, however, to get
accurate determinations, and an error
OF half a degree in the observation
means a displacement of location of
about thirty miles. Prof. G. V. Boys,
the British physicist, proposes to In
sure greater accuracy under difficult
conditions by measuring the altitude
from vertical-instead OF horizontal
base A vertical swinging telescope,
suspended on a gimbal frame and top
weighted so as to swing steadily in
period of about one second, is mounted
in an upright tube forming the handle
OF the instrument, and the ordinary
parts of a small sextant are attached.
When a star is brought under observa-
ton, its image in the vertical tele-
scope, or collimator, is shown against
a fine scale in the focal plate of the
lenses. When properly calibrated, this
scale may show the stars altitude by
direct reading, without calculation,
and the precision may be so great that
the observer, sitting at a table, can
show his position within one minute
of arc, or about a mile. The instru-
ment is expected TO prove of special
value to aeronauts.

NOVEL RAZOR STRoP DEVICE
Blades Given important Diagonal
Stroke by Apparatus Recently In
vented by New York Man.

The secret Of comfortable shaving is
frequently stropping of the razor, but
many a man who shaves himself at
home pays no attention to this detail.
Usually it is because he cannot strop
his razor properly and more often
spoils the edge than not. A razor
should be stropped from heel to toe,
so that the microscopic steel particles
on the edge of the blade are inclined
toward the point. A New York man
has invented stropping apparatus that

TO PROTECT STEEL VESSELS
Composition Applied to Bottom Only
After Ship Had Been in Water
for Month or Two.

Some years ago, in a paper before
the Institution of Naval Architects Of
Great Britain, Mr.. A. c. HolZapfel
stated that the best method for insur-
ing the protection of new steel YES
sells was to launch them without paint,
and to apply a composition only after
the vessel had been in the water for
a month or two, and the mill scale
had worn off. The steel training ship
"Exmouth," which was built several
years ago, received no paint whatever
before she was launched, and after a
month or two, she was put in dry dock
and given four coats of first-class
paint After being five years afloat,
the bottom was found to be in per-
feet state of preservation, with very
little rust at the water line, and only
a little grass and slime covering the
anti-fouling composition, which was
found TO be in a thoroughly sound
state of preservation.

An elegant hat in eggplant purple is
