Electric Wheel Chairs.

Electric wheel chairs similar to
those employed at the Panama-Pacifc
international exposition last year are
being used successfully in Europe for
the wounded and crippled soldiers.
Invariably the convalescent men pre-
fer to direct their own chair rather
than to have someone push them
about. One of these chairs, which is
of Swiss make and costs a small sum,
is equipped with a one-quarter horse
power motor suspended between the
steering and rear wheel. Current is
supplied from a battery of Is lead
plate cells housed in three boxes be-
meath the seat. The battery is of so
ampere hours capacity and provides
sufficient energy for a run of thirty to
forty miles. Five forward and five
reverse speeds are provided. The
steering and operating mechanism is of
the very simplest.

London, Aug. 21-The Italian steam.
ship Stampalia, which plies between
New York and Italian ports, has been
sunk, says a dispatch to Lloyds.
The ~Stampalia was a passenger liner
of 5000 tons gross. In common with
other Italian liners, it mounted guns
for protection from submarines. The
last report of its movements was its
arrival on July 80 at Genoa from New
York, so that it apparently was sunk
or the return voyage to the United
States. 1t was commanded by Cap.
tain L%avarello. The London dispatch
is interpreted as meaning that the
Stampalia probably was the victim of
an Austrian or German submarine In

Painted in Seventy-Tw Hours.

There is a picture in this years show
at the Royal academy which has a
singular history. 1t was painted by
al artist who is now a captain on ac-
tive service, but the picture is not the
n which he showed to his friends
at this years contribution. The original
was of a sunset over a plowed field. a
fine landscape in a style which has dis
tinguished the artist. Five months ago
the painter was home on leave, and he
spent working Over his picture. To-
day the canvas shows the plOwed field
and the sunset; but 1t also shows six
soldiers fallen about a cannon. into
the breech of which one survivor is
placing the last shell. 1t is a fine pic
ture, and by no means a pot-boiler.
The captain witnessed the incident he
depicts. The fortunate thing was that
the landscape was ready for the figures
for no academy picture could be
painted during 72 hours leave.

Il have recommended the conces

substitution Of an eight-hour day fol

made this recommendation because ]
believed the concession right. The
eight-hour day now undoubtedly has
the sanction of a judgment of society
In its favor and should be adopted as
a basis for wages even where the &C
tual work to be done cannot be com
pleted within eight hours.
Some Have Adopted Plan.
Concerning the adjustment which
should be made in justice to the rail
roads and their stockholders, in the
payment and privileges to which their
men are now entitled (f such adjust
ments are necessary there is a wide
divergence of opinion. The railroads
which have already adopted the eight
hour day do not to be at any Sc
rious disadvantage in respect of Their
cost of operation, as compared with
the railroads that have retained the
ten-hour day, and calculations as tc
the cost of the change must, If made
now, be made without regard to any
possible administrative economies OIL
readjustments.
