averse to playing in public and also to
travelling, but nevertheless appeared
with considerable frequency. His main
efforts, however, were devoted to his
teaching. His art as a pianist was de-
scribcd by the German press in his
carly days, comment being made,
among other things, on the softness
and elasticity, the elegance and sparkle
of Joseffy's 1orituri and runs, which
could not be described Mr. Joseffy

SAVE BOY FROM DROWNING.
Factory Employees Prevent Fatality at
Springfield.

SPRINGFIELD, June 26.-Maynard
ST. Clair, 10, son of Mrs. George Bar
ably, narrowly escaped drowning late
Thursday afternoon while fishing with
his brother on the Black river dam in
the rear of the plant of the Vermont
Snath company.
The little fellow had gone down the
third time and was unconscious when
rescued by Jerry McDonough and Hol-
lis Thurlow, employees of the Snath
company. McDonough was at one
time a member of the Rutland police
force.
McDonough saw the lad fall into
the water. Calling for assistance
which was answered in the person OF
Thurlow, McDonough jumped through
window of the factory and reached
the river barely in time to save the
boy. 1t required considerable effort to
resuscitate the boy.

Predictions in Boston That
Boston & Maine Re-
ownership is Near
NO AGREEMENT
WITH LEASED LINES
Conferences Have Been Held Between
the Trustees and Representatives of
Small Lines, but No Definite Action
Has Resulted.

BOSTON, June 26-That the trustees
of the Boston and Maine railroad and the
representatives of the various leased lines
Of that road are unable to agree on any
reorganization scheme under the powers
given them by the recent legislature and
that the day of receivership for the Boston
and Maine is near at hand is regarded as
very probable by men close to the finan-
ial and transportation situation in New
England.
Since the passage of the Boston and
Maine reorganization bill various confer
ences have been had between the trustees
Of that road and men interested in the
leased lines Special subcommittee have
been appointed to study ways and means
to bring about a readjustment Of the rela-
tions Of the company to its subsidiaries
Efforts were set under way to induce
Gov. Spaulding Of New Hampshire to call
a special session of the legislature thtre to
pass legislation which would help out the
situation.
In the event that some common ground
could be agreed upon by the various trans
portat6n lines at interest, it was as
sumed that Gov. Spaulding would act In
reached and urged upon him by the vari-
Gus interests, the situation has been re-
gardcd as hopeless.
To date all Of the conferences and meet
ings of the special committees are said to
have resulted in bringing the parties little
nearer together than they were at the
outsct
As a result predictions are being freely
made in financial circles that the trustees
have undertaken an impossible task, that
the only outcome is a receivership and
that its day is near at hand.

WARNING ON RUST.
Problems With Which Iron and Steel
Experts Are Wrestling.

Problems With Which Iron and Steel
Experts Are Wrestling.
This age of steel has reused a world
wide battle with rust, and more chem
lists and other experts are studying pos
ssible weapons for this battle than are
busy on almost any other industrial
problem. Concrete owes much Of Its
present growth to the dff1icultyof pro-
tecting steel and iron against rust.
Absolutely pure iron will not rust,
and fairly pure iron will rust only
slowly. One way, therefore, is to Inn
prove the grade Of iron, and manufac-
turers now sell iron, that Is guaranteed
to Withstand rust for considerable PEE
RODS. It Is possible, though expensive,
to purify iron completely by electricity,
and electrolytic iron, as it Is called,
may before long be common CONNER
cially. r.. ..<s.- =. Il
Surface coats of protection are, how
ever, the favorite methods Of today,
and many such coatings have appeared
lately. The latest one is n metal coat
that can be applied on an iron or steel
structure after it has been erected In
much the same way that paint Is ap-
piled. Finely powdered metals such
as tin, lead or zinc, or all three in
proper proportion-are mixed in oil and
painted on the bridge or column or
other structure that needs protection.
Then the painted surface is heated by
hand torch or in whatever way is
most convenient. w.,
The oil burns away, and the pow
dered metal melts, but does not run.
AS the metal cools it takes Il tight grip
on the iron surface and forms a tin or
alloy coat, which stops rust.-Saturday
