Rooster Beats His Way
BY Riding on Trucks

BALTIMORE. Aug. 4-Roa sting in
An improvised chicken yard at Camden
Station is a plain. old Dominick rooster
which will probably be decorated with
some kind Of an iron cross by President
Daniel Willard. or given a lifetime pass
over the entire system for accomplish
Ing n feat which possibly not even Mr..
Willard could have performed. This
rooster beat his way all the way from
Pittsburgh to Baltimore on one OF the
Baltimore and Ohio's fastest express
trains without n feather being ruffied
or missing.
This unique train-rider was detected
perched under the trucks Of train No. 6,
which runs between Pittsburgh and
New York, as it thundered into Camden
Station last night AS the big engine
came to a full stop, the rooster. in honor
Of having beaten the company out Of a
trip, gave a lusty CrOAV. Had he kept
quiet he would not have been discovered
and could have continued his journey
on to New York unknown and unmo-
Tested. Now he Is confined in his tenn
porary prison. and 1t Is up to Mr.. VII
lard to say what shall be his fate.
Just before the express pulled out OF
the station at Pittsburgh the express

Mirrors on Submarine
Denver Mans Device

DENVER. Aug. 4.-Patr'ck keenan,
proposes to make small boats and sub
marines completely invisible when on
the surface and thus to render helpless
the dreadnaughts and modern levia-
thans which the nations now are build
ing In their struggle for control Of the
seas.
Briefly. Keenans idea Is to clothe
the portion Of the submarine above the
surface with a mirror which will reflect
only the water beneath it. and at dis
tance OF few yards would give the
appearance Of virgin sea.
A short time ago keenan, erected in
the middle of the lake large mirror,
inclined to reflect the water From the
shore, 100 yards distant the effect was
that of an unbroken surface.

su bmarine on the surface would be In.
visible at a far shorter distance from
the range Of the modern torpedo.
BY giving huge mirrors q downward
tilt Keenan, believes they may be used
to reflect the surface in front OF
them and to conceal effectively new

properly tilted. however. they would
reflect the sun and reveal the pres
| ence OF the battery to observers fol
miles around.
