On TUNING a Plano.

Many people think it is an easy
matter To tune o. piano. but this IL
not the case..~ Az celebrated must
clan az Hans ven Bulow got into
trouble in New York owing to this
fallacious idea. He would not permit
the instrument to be tuned in the
Mareroon, one of his whims being
that even a short removal Of u piano
knocks 1t out OF tune. There is, of
course, modicum Of truth in the
theory. So it was tuned upon the
platform where he was TO perform.
He stood over the tuner all the time.
at intervals emitting groans and
strong German language. When the
task was almost completed he gave q
shout and, selling the wrench, began
doing IL all over again. In three min
utes he had the piano so hopelessly
out Of gear that it took three hours
TO get 1t right again. Herr Won Blu
low had TO pay dearly for this exhibi-
ton Of ignorance.

PLANS TO eEAurIFy HIGHWAY.

Chicago, lll-Garl Fisher, the found
er and now the vice president Of the
Lincoln Highway association, has
said "The Lincoln Highway will never
be. finished. You and | will be able to
drive over it from New York to San
Francisco in 1915. Perhaps ten years
from now every mile will be of con-
crete. but there viii always he some.
thing more to do, some impro vencnt
TO make Not only is The Lincoln
highway a perpetual memorial hut a
road TO be perDetuated by the ener-
gies OF future cancellations. We are
|oniy laying the foundations now"
The best minds OF the country are
laying the foundation nov" for the
Identification of the Lincoln highway
and plans are being osuggestcd and
horticultural cXpertslt and landscape
gardeners. which. when decided upon,
win be worked out all along the 34OO
mile road for years to come. They
lare WCrking today that the tourist Of
fifty and one hundred years from now
may Cross the country over the most
beautiful and inspiring roadway in
the world. The Lincoln highway is
ITO bic something more than IL rOad-it
will be IL road with a personality, Il
distinctive work to which the Amnri-
cans Of future generations can point
with pride-an economic but also an
artistic triumph.
Tine committee of American archi-
!terts which was appointed by the
president OF the American Institute OF
Architects to consider plans and offer
suggestions for the Identification OF
the Lincoln highway. has been hard
at work since last Juno and much has
been accomplj eied. Tho headquar.
ters of the committee at the Offices OF
its chairman, Elmer c. JensOn, of
Chicago. have been swampcd with cor
respondencc asking for advice and
regarding the beautilica,
ton OF the highway at particular
points. ~
Tits my intention, as well as that
of other members Of the, committee,
to motor over the Lincoln highway
in the spring or summer in order that
We may be better able 10 advise and
suggest plans for the Improvement OF
the roads" said MIR. Jensen. There
is. much fascination in planning for
the Identification of the Lincoln
highway. You may allow your inlagi-
nation full play and the more imagl.
nation you have the better will be

sufficient reward for all the dreaming.

call. it," Is
Two plans for the Identification Of

Motorcycle al Chat cutter.

A farmer at Bantnall, Salop, Eng.
land, has fixed his motorcycle ON a
stand against the wall Of the farm
buildings, and 1t drives a chafY-cutter
and turnip cutter at the same time.
1t does not cost much to work 1t. The
turnip cutter is on the same level az
the cycle. and is connected by a kind
of bicycle chain. The chaff-cutter Is
placed above the turnipcutter on an.
other floor and connected by twoinch
betting. After 1t has been on some
little time the engine gets hot, SIP a
fan is made to revolye by the side to
keep 1t cool. 1t is also used for
churning milk This saves great
deal OF time for the workmen because
1t can do the two jobs at once

are supreme In the management of
things. They are probably the suryl.
walls of the time when women univer-

general condition away back in the

gives us but scanty account. The
