HALL OF SHELLS DREAM OF
BEAUTY
Half a Million Specimens in Great
Collection Placed on View at Amer
lean Museum


Collection Placed on View at Amer.
lean Museum
Washington, d. C.-Grottoes of the
sea have furnished forth the hall of
shells just opened in the American
Museum of Natural History, which is
the setting of some of the most beau
tiful specimens which have ever been
shown.
Everybody loves Shells You may
remember them on the walnut what
not at home, and how the great ocean
roared in their depths. Perhaps they
were on the handicapped table, a
relic OF the bridal tour of Pa and Ma
to Niagara Falls or Atlantic City. ,
There are $4,000 varieties of shells
on view in the newly designed cases,
and it is estimated that the individual
specimens counting the great cunchs
and the tiny things poured out of vials
number half million.
There are many specimens of un-
usual beauty brought from the Indian
and the Pacific oceans. Here are to
be seen the polished valves of the
pearl oyster, used in making of paper
knives and card trays, and such, and
also many fine examples of the Amer
ican mussel shells Which serve in
the making of pearl buttons. There
are the iridiscent turbo shells in much
request as lamp shades.
There are some exceptionally fine
specimens of orange cowries, as well
as cones and volutes. Some of the
shells are prepared in cross sections
in order to show how the animal who
lived in that structure lad his rooms
divided.
There are every variety of clam
shells and of oysters included in this
assemblage.
The hall of shells includes several
great collections which have been in
the possession of the museum for
many years. The first is that gath
cred by DR.. John C. Jay, physician
of this city, and also conchologist of
note, whose catalogue, appearing in
1896, made for him high scientific
reputation. William Haines, one of
the old merchants of New York, gave
his specimens. There is an East In.
dian collection which was gathered by
Prof. Albert S. Pickmore. Frederick
A. Constable also gave some import
ant shells. The museum has been
collecting shells of its own account for
years.

"This is the life" So says Charles
Hill, of New Bedford, Mass, as bS
rolls over in his bed in the morning
when his pet alarm clock begins its
strident signalling. And it truly is
"easy life" for Hill, for as he lies In
bed he knows that his new invention
has started the fire going in the
kitchen stove and that when he and
his wife arise the room will be warm
and the kettle oh the range will be
boiling merrily.
Hill has perfected device which
strikes a match when the alarm clock
goes off and shoots 1t into the kindling
wood of the stove. The fuel is
promptly ignited and by the time he
and Mrs. Hill have arisen the fire ia
burning briskly and is ready to be

His Escape.

The young man had threatened
suicide if she rejected him. And al
though she did, he didn't, says Bos-
ton Truth.
"Why didn't he?" was asked.
"Said he'd given his heart to her."
"What's that got to do with it?"
"Oh, he didn't have the heart to
kill himself"

H. P. Corbin of Toledo, o., has in
vented an aeroplane entirely differ
ent in most of it's vital points of con-
struction to any of the types of aero
planes now in use. He believes it
will revolutionize aeronautics. The
principal mechanical points of ad-
vantage claimed for Corbin's inven-
tion are: 1t carries all weight below
the point of suspension; all controls
are different and simplifed; every
support and part is rigid; the ma
chine will support at least ITS pounds
on extreme tips; the machine is
easily taken apart, and when packed
the largest piece is but five feet long;
the machine is also much lighter than
the Wright machine, can get off the
ground in a distance less than 200
feet, and in alighting can be stopped
almost instantly. The planes are 20
feet from tip to tip. The engine will
develop 80 to 100 horsepower and a
speed of approximately Ice" revolu-
tionS minute. -

an ingram carpet factory in Philadelphia,
has made a study of the attitude OF the
working class toward the church. as il
lustrated by their activities in that con-
nection, and his talk proved very interest
ing.
The Presbyterian and Baptist ministers
raised the question as the time of meeting
and succeeded in having it ordered that
the meetings Of the union hereafter be
held on the first Tuesday Of the month,
at 2.30 p. M, instead OF the FIRST Monday,
at 1890 a. M. This will allow the
ministers Of the denominations named
10 attend the meetings Of their own
denominations, which are held on the
first Monday of the month, in Philadel-
phia.
Another item of business enacted this
morning was the changing of the order of
business SO that directly following the
reading of the minutes the order OF
the day will be taken up. This will allow
the speakers more time, as heretofore they
have been crowded out by the numerous
other matters coming up.

heavy winter blue trousers and a black

johnson was enthusiastically applauded.
He crawled through the ropes clad in a
gray bathrobe and wearing his usual
golden smile. The negros first move was
to ascertain where his wife was.
The two pugilists shook hands for the
movies. The ring gradually cleared of
all except Referee Jack Welsh, seconds
and principals.
Johnson objected to a woman spectator
in the press ringside stand, and she
retired to an adjacent box.
The negro, stripping bathrobe, showed
himself clad in bright blue trunks and no
belt. Willard wore dark blue trunks
and an American flag as a belt.
Both pugilists got on the scales in the
ring. Wizards weight was 23S and
Johnson's 225. The negro appeared
considerably heavier.

DECORATIONS FOR
FAITHFUL WORKERS
Baltimore and Ohio Employees
to Have Service Designa-
tions on Uniforms.

When the summer suits are donne1 this
season by the uniformed forces of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the passenger
trainmen, station employees and others
who come IN direct contact with the public
VIII be decorated by the management
with badges OF honor upon the basis of
length OF service and as an evidence that
the company venerates them for the years
spent IN its employ. The coat sleeves of
the uniforms will be decorated with gold
bars and stars, the bars signifying five
years service and the stars twenty-five
years with the road.
This plan of the Baltimore and Ohio of
decorating its uniformed employees car
rles out along broader lines the practice
OF railroad companies of extending pass
privileges to employees and their families
on the basis of years of service; and it is
the purpose in supplementing the pass
regulation to extend proper recognition to
its men so that the public may form an
idea as to the training they have had as its
servants.
The service record of the Baltimore and
Ohio employees is approached by few
railroads, as throughout the rank and file
are to be found men who have spent their
entire business careers and grown old in
the employ of the company-and it is
these men the road aims to honor. Many
of the roads passenger conductors,
station masters and other uniformed
forces will wear the gold star on their
uniforms, this summer, and large major
ity of their subordinates will wear the
gold bars
Pensioned employees likewise will re-
ceive the decoration at the hands of the
company. Retired trainmen and others
have been asked to wear their old uniforms
which are still fond possession of
most OF them-to headquarters, that they
may be be decorated and those veterans
whose service did not require uniforms
will receive fitting recognition at the same
time.

TO REDUCE THE CIVIL
SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
None for Stenographer and Typewriter
Until Next Fall.

The United States Civil Service Com
mission announces that in view Of the
large number Of applicants in recent stenog-
rapher and typewriter examinations, the
monthly examinations for the depart
mental service and the quarterly examin-
ations for the field service, beginning
with May 1915, will be discontinued until
further notice.
It is not probable that another stem
ographer and typewriter examination for
the departmental, Panama Canal, or
Philippine service will be held before the
fall of 1915. Information in regard to the
fall examinations and application forms
for such examinations may be obtained
after July Is from the commission, at
Washington, from the district secretary,
at Boston, Mass, New York, n Y,
Philadelphia, Pa, Atlanta, Ca, Cincin-
natl, Ohio, Chicago, ILL.,, St. Pal, Mimi,
St. Louis, Mo, New Orleans, La, Seattle,
Wash, or San Francisco, Cal.
The stenographer and typewriter ex-
animation for the field service will here
after be held only as the needs of the SER
vice require and will be duly announced
in the civil service districts in which held
