FOR QUICK DRESSING

An ingenius Frenchman has recent ly invented and placed on the market a little device that will make new rec ords possible for quick dressing and undressing. It is a sort of hook-and eye arrangement that can be hooked up or unlocked almost instantaneous ly. His original purpose was to make it possible for soldiers to get in and out of sleeping sacks without losing any time but his idea is being applied now to clothes also.
 On each of the two edges that are to be hooked together is seWed a continu- ous line of metal clasps. A buckle is made to slide up and down over these clasps in such a way that when the buckle is pulled up it hooks all the clasps together and when it is pulled down it unhools them.
 Thus, simply pulling the buckle up hooks the garment completely; while the unlocking operation can be accom- plisned by pulling on the two edges exactly like tearing a sheet.-E'rom the Saturday Evening Post.

A Fair Advancement

If the memters of the house could reach an understanding with respect 10 all ;and legislation with the ease with which they settled the matter co board of appraisement for school lands anl Improvements yesterday, passing land oilI would be an easy task. The bill under consideration orig In@uy provided that the commissioner shoad select two members the board three. the third to b2 chosen by board of supervisors of the county ir widch the property to he appraised s.stuated That arrangement obviously fair to the land which lelongs the state alone. The board would not be e. pected a board arbitration. since there could be only party interest; there could be nothing to arbitrate. The only task of the board would be value of the land. That third member Of the board should he named by supervisors a concession to locality by which the states rights would be imperiled.
 the appr,iscnent of the improvements is different matter. In that there two parties in interest The occupant the land. the owner Of the Improvements, who must sell them if he does not Iuy land. the state. who in that case must see Improvements paid for.

WASHINGTON MONUMENTS APEX

Few persons who have seen the Washington Monument. those Who have lived within sight of it all their lives, have noticed that the apex of the monurhcnt is surrounded with parallel bands.

 FALLING FROM CAR

Falling from west bound Grand ave nue car Uo. 16, early last evening at Second avenue and Washington street, w O. Butler, said to have been in the employ Of the reclamation service, sus- tained injuries that may result seri- ously At the Sisters hospital, where he was taken after receiving attentiCn at the office of a physician, it was found that he was still unconscious, ap- parentlv suffering from concussion and possible fracture of the skull.
 Butler was sitting well back in the open car and decided that he wanted to occupy a seat further forward. While the car was in motion he sarted to make the change of seats and stepped upon the running board. The lurching of the car sent him plunging to the pavement. He struck upon his head and rolled away from the car. When picked up he was unconscious.

KRUPPs HANDICAP BURGLAR

The Krupp works Lave just turned out a steel safe that will put all burglars to shame. The fam ous Essen firm has succeeded i1 making of such resisability that it withsauds the methods of attack and the tools at present known to bur glars.
 At melting test, steel plates with surface of Us by 11S inches and thickness of 1.57 inches used which in the separate testings sub fected for different length of time oxyacet- Nlene flame At of these tests a hole 1868 inches diameter and 1877 inches depth was burned into the plate, but for this not less 476 gal Ions of acetylcne and 534 gallons of oxygen used and the time consumed and quarter hours.
 In order produce hole large enough to admit the hand 2642 gallons of oxygen ana :,37S gallons of acetylcne would be needed. while the per fornance of this work would require six hours Consequently it is clear that burglars will never succeed in melting safe made from the steel because, aside from the great outlay of time needed for this they could not bring with them the great quantities of gas. for four steel weighing 154 pounds apiece would be required.
 The steel plates hard and cannot be bored consequently the holes for the and rivets be made at the start. The terial does lose it's hardness by anne1ng and by of it's tenacity can be bent to ce1 taiL degree.-Consular Report.

HAWAIIAN R. R. PAYS WELL
Gross Earnings Increased in Twenty Years from $12o,ooo to $1,3oo,ooo

Honolulu-Thc railroad system on the island of oahu provides TO- mantle story of a financial undertak- ing that at first almost ruined it's packers, but is now one of the best
 paying investments in the Hawaiian Archipelago. Twenty years ago this system boasted twenty-three and one half miles of track; today the com pany maintains 127 miles of road, owns twenty-tWo locomotives, forty four passenger cars and 520 freight cars; has thirty-six thousand feet of
 wharfage and can store twenty thousand tons of sugar
 Taxes on property from Eva to Kahuku plantation, which are tapped
 by the railway, amounted at the
 time the road started to $2S,S53; in
 1914 the taxes on the same property
 totaled S31O,O00 This is one ex- ample how the land along the line
 has increased n value in the last twenty years. The gross earnings of the road twenty years ago were $120,O0O and now they are $1,300,000; the freight earnings were $43,000 and today they are s813.000 the passen- ger earnings were $25,000 and now they are $30O,O00
 Twenty years ago 79O00 passengers were carried yearly, while in 1914 about 1,140,000 persons partonized the cars There were 907,0 900 passen- gers carried one mile twenty years ago; in 1914 they numbered 15,435, 900. Passenger rates show less than two cents mile; this is lower than the average rate on the mainland
 This railroad, which starts at Hon. olulu, taps five of the largest sugar plantations in the Hawaiian Islands, all the big pineapple plantations, a sisal plantation. several stock farms and several rice and banana pIanta- tions; skirts the shores of Pearl Harbor, where the United States gov ernment is building a million dollar naval station and dry dock. and in directly taps one large American army post and one of the strongest Qualifications under the American flag-Fort kamehameha, which guards the entrance to Pearl Harbor. In addition to it's commercial i'm pOrtance the road opens up some of the finest scenic features on the is land of Oahu.-A. r. Taylor in Com merCe Reports.
