An Observation-Disclosures locomotive
Of novel type, which is designed to
use naphthalene as a fuel, has been
brought out in France. Since naph-
thalene is a solid which must be both
melted and vaporized, provision is
made for starting the locomotive with
gasoline, benzol or some other volatile
liquid, separate carburetors being in
stalled for the different fuels. The
tank in which the naphthalene is car
ried is inclosed in water jacket, and
the arrangement is such that the water
is heated from the engine. In this way
constant temperature is provided
which is more than sufficient for melt

Quickly STAMPED Out Mutinv

One hundred years ago a mutiny
took place among the American troops
stationed at Sandy Hook. With the
exception of one company of artillery,
the troops, one and all, refused to
obey the orders of their officers to APP
pear on parade. They stated as their
reason that the government had not
fulfilled its contract with them, as they
had received only part of the bounty
promised, and some of them had been
seven months in service without pay.
The authorities quickly suppressed the
mutiny by arresting the ring-leaders
and combining them in the battery on
Manhattan island.

1t is surprising to one who has not
given the matter thought, how many
little points there are connected with
the planning of an up-to-date con-
venient residence that can be gotten
all wrong II the architect is not en-
ceedingly careful or doesn't know his
business, and the house resulting be
almost ruined, so far as comfort and
the conveniences of housekeeping are
concerned.
1t has frequently been suggested
that architects doing residence work
should seek advice of the women
concerning many points, and find out
from first-hand testimony just how
the housekeeper wants to have the
many features which mean so much
to her, but which mere man knows
very little of. Some of these points
that have been suggested are as fol-
lows:
What woman would put In laundry
tubs so deep that the luckless worker
who is Of short or medium stature is
in constant danger of pitching for
ward upon her head, while the tall
woman can at least reckon upon q
headache or backache as the result of
a few hours work. or, who but man
would make the ledge between the
tuba SO wide that no ordinary wringer
can be fitted to it? Would any wom-
an dream Of standing kitchen range
so close to the wall on the side where
the match has to be applied and the
stop-cocks regulated that it is only
by difficult maneuvering with the left
hand that the range can be managed
at all?
Nor is there any plausible reason
for so arranging the wall spaces that
the refrigerator must stand next to
the stove, while the closet In the
kitchen, which is to be used as a
pantry, is as far away from the self
same stove as it is possible to place
it, presumably to give the cook some
needed exercise in getting up a meal.
Another idea which should suggest
itself to the woman architect, or archi-
tect's assistant, Is the fact that the
toilet room, if there is but one, should
be separate from the bathroom, as a
matter Of family convenience; also,

ment houses, but these as we'll as
