LATEST IDEAS OF INVENTORS
New Zeppelin Made by Americans
Comb for Cutting Hair
Safety Ladder.

Zeppelins are usually as long as
ocean liners-560 feet and more. A
Zeppelin only 236 feet long is described
IN Popular Science. This pygmy air
ship, which Is being constructed in
England by group of American en-
gineers, is remarkable in having
frame or wood layers, instead of alu-
minum, as is the case with almost
every successful dirigible.
A comb has been made, by means OF
which man may cut his own hair 1t
is designed on the principle of safety
razor. Holding the comb close to the
mead results in close cut, holding it
at wider angle, in longer cut.
A ladder is now in use which is per-
fectiy safe when standing at any angle.
On its feet are rubber tips which look
IKE mules feet, and since the rubber
IS slightly cupped, it prevents slip

ed with chemicals until he found that
by feeding hen urotropin he could
make 1t lay eggs which were self-pre-
serving.
In England stage scenery on a large
scale Is being used to construct dunn
my factories. These are lighted at
night and serve to draw the fire of
Zeppelin raiders away from the points
where they could do the most harm.
A motion-picture actress has fitted
her automobile coupe as a dressing
room. Every inch of the car is util-

An eccentric physician, who did not
like to be seen carrying a medicine

Der walking stick with a sliding metal
holder for the bottles of tablets and
powders and other first aids.
A New Jersey man has invented an
instrument which may be quickly con-
verified from hoe into a rake, from a
rake into weeder and from weeder
into a shovel.

POULTNEY MAN KILLED.
G. D. Roberts Was Sitting on Track
Reading Sunday Paper

RUTLAND, July 31.-Owen Davis
Roberts, slate worker, 50 years old,
was struck by the Delaware and Hud-
son milk train yesterday afternoon at
o 'clock near the railroad bridge
east of the village, receiving injuries
which resulted in his death two hours
later, when he was being rushed to
the Rutland hospital on the 3.15
o clock local. Roberts was sitting on
a tie reading the Sunday papers, when
the accident occurred and as he was
very deaf, it is supposed that he did
not hear the coming train. The man
gled body was taken to the j. B.
Stearns undertaking room on Mer-
chants row and later in the day ship
ped to Poultney.
Following long standing habit,
Mr.. Roberts, who boards on South
street in Poultney with Jacob Hum
phreys, started along the tracks after
dinner with his papers. His friends
believe that he was not looking for
the milk train at the time, probably
thinking it had passed The point at
which he met his death could be
reached by making short detour from
the rear of his home.
The body was thrown some distance
by the fender of the engine and when
picked up an arm and leg were found
broken, one eve backened. and the
man was suffering internal conclusions
DIR. J J. Dervm was immediately sum
moncd, and the body on stretcher
was placed on the first train coming
to this city.

CROWDS GO
TO NINA

Practically all of the people OF
Hawthorne, Luning and Sodayllle
who could get away from their home
town went to Nina TO celebrate the
Fourth, fifteen automobiles being re.
quired to transport the Haw wthorne
contingent, and the other towns, being
nearer, were probably represented
by an even larger percentage of their
populations.
A good program had been outlined
and advertised, and numerous com
mittees appointed to make the ar
rangements. but lacking any general
head or management the committees
naturally failed to connect, and all
OF the program that materlalized was
the drilling contest, grafton, ball
game and dance. with nothing to do
in between times but throw base
balls at Jess Brooks at five cents per
throw.
Three teams were entered in the
drilling contest, the first money
going to Maher and Mill-r, who
drilled sixteen aud three.quartcrs
inches, and second prize to Ben
Donnelly aud Dick Bush.
In the afternoon Governor Oddie
delivered an address on preparedness,
which was listened 10 with interest.
The ending of the ball game be,
tween Hawthorne and Nina was un-
fortunate. Probably over half of
the Hawthorne people in attendance
were relatives Of players on the
Hawthorne nine, and these were sur
priced at the demands OF the C, llect-
ors that they be required to pay so
cents per head for seeing the game.
At games played IN Hawthorne the
expenses are met by subscriptions
from the business men and other
townspeople, the visitors being re-
garded as guests. This is at varience
with the custom In vogue at Nina,
where admission is charged to see
the games. This was the cause Of
many MISUNDERSTANDING at the out
set. The two teams we're fairly well
matched, but the heavy biting Of
the Hawthorncites gave them lead
of two tallies at the end of the ninth
inning, the score being to 5 in the
last half with Nina at bat and two
out. At this juncture Sid Wilds

came to bat and after whiting at two
of Freeman's curves landed on one
for long drive into right field. The
ball was ieded by Stannard and
thrown TO Miller at second, who
caught it while standing on the base
line about six feet from the bag ut
the same moment that he was run
into by Wild, who slid to the bay
raising cloud Of dust Earl Dumont,
who was umpiring the bases, refused
to give q decision, claiming he could
not see on account OF the dust. This
put the decision up to Umpire Jones,
who called the runner out, and the
Hawthorne team winner of the
game.
This did not satisfy the Nina play
ers, SO the losers called the game Il
draw and all bets off, and all hands
moved into town and spent the rest
OF the day in pleasing and pl ofitabls
argumen tation. In justice TO Umpire
Dumont it must be said that with
the single exception OF the final play
on second base, no fault could be
found with his decisions.
Eighty-five dollars were collected
for admission to the ball game, ard
out of this one meal apiece for two
Hawthorne players was allowed as
the expenses OF the visitors. Three
OF the PLAYERS also managed to get
tickets to the dance, but this was
not intentional on the part of the
management No admission was
charged to hear Governor Oddie
speak, and the fireworks were also
free.
The one redeeming feature of the E
day was the dance. The music was
perfect and would have done credit
to II much more pretentious occasion
and the floor was as good as could
have been expected from hastily
built temporary platform.

OF the Nina ball team. won the free
