cues 301 Men.

A British Port, Oct. 14.-As the re-.
suit of the sinking Of the transport
Otranto in the North channel between
the Scottish and Irish coasts in
collision with the steamer Kashmir
large number Of American troops
have been lost.
The Otranto. after the collision, was
dashed to pieces on the rocks of the
south Scottish coast with probable
loss of 372 American soldiers. i
sol Men Taken OF.
Three hundred and one men were
taken to Belfast by the British de.
stroyer Mounsey, the only vessel
which made an attempt at rescue in
the terrific gale when the Kashmir,
another vessel in the convoy with tho
Otranto. rammed the Otranto amid
ships.
Seventeen men were picked up alive
on the Scottish coast.
OF the 500 American soldiers on
board the Otranto, 80 were landed.
Seventeen were rescued alive at Islay,
leaving 372 unaccounted for.
Storm Causes Crash.
The Otranto and the other vessels
of the convoy were battling with the
heavy seas and high winds Sunday
morning. The storm was so severe
and the visibility 80 bad that the
Kashmir, q former Peninsular &
Oriental liner, crashed into the Otr.
anto squarely arnidships. The Kash.
mir backed away badly damaged, but
was ably to make port.
As the bows Of the Kashmir were
pulled from the great hole in the side
OF the Otranto, the water rushed in,
but for time It did not serve to stop
the engines. The Otranto tried to
proceed, but made no headway against
the gale in her crippled condition.
Within short time the water put
out her fires and the Otranto drifted
hopelessly toward the rocky coast of
1slay Island, where most Of the Tus.
CANA victims met their deaths.
Destroyer to Rescue.
Thirty minutes after the crash the
British destroyer Mountsey, herself
damaged by the heavy seas, appeared
out Of the haze in answer to the dis.
tress calls Of the Otranto. When the
destroyer Unanswered to get along
side, Captain Davidson Of the Otranto
warned Captain Craven, commanding
the destroyer, not to make. the at
tempt.
When it was seen that Craven would
make the attempt anyway the men
were ordered to remove their shoes
and heavy clothing and try to save
themselves as best they could.

By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

The never-ending desire for some
thing new which is characteristic
of the American people, has it's effect
on architecture by bringing into use
in this country the distinguishing char
acteristics of nearly every successful
type of architecture which has ever
been used in any part of the world.
One of the attractive architectural
adaptations which American architects
have brought about is modelled after
the Swiss chalet. The Swiss architec-
ture is usually associated with rugged
landscape. There are various places
in the United States where the sur
rOundings are suitable for the adapta-
tion of this style of architecture. Many
country estates in localities where the
topography is characterized by abrupt
changes in elevation with exposed rock
surfaces, where the growth of trees
and other natural features are agree
able, have been planned after the
Swiss style to produce beautiful re-
suits.
Occasionally a beauty spot of this
type is found within the boundaries of
Il city. An excellent example is found

elaborately carved. The decks above
the porches of the design Illustrated
are intended to add an atmosphere of
the rustic in the same way that the
balcony is effectively used.
A novel method of supporting the
roof overhanging the gables consists
of the only use of exposed timbersi
which is found in the design. The prin-
cipal rafters are supported by beams
extending out from the wall of the
house. Near the center Of these beams
a timber is extended parallel to the
wall of the house, the beams resting
on this timber which is in turn sup
ported by second set of beams, not
so long as those which support the raf-
ters. The timber is not as long as the
rafters, but it is stopped a short dis
tance beyond the outer beam toward
the top and bottom of the roof, the
timber ends being cut with simple
ornamental design.
The entrance to the house is on the
side and is through cozy little porch
adjoining the reception hall. The re-
ception hall opens into the dining room
on one side through double doors and
on the other side through a cased
opening into the living room. The liv-
ing room extends across the front of
the house and is 20 feet by 13 feet in
size. In one end of it is a brick fire.
place f1anked with two windows which
have book cases built beneath them.
This room is well lighted by the two
! windows mentioned and a broad triple
| window in front.
In the back part of the house is a
large living porch which will be es-
pecially appreciated in the summer.
This porch is intended to be fitted
with screens in the summer and storm
sash during the winter. On the Sec
ond floor there are three bedrooms
and a bath. The decks could be very
| easily fitted with frames for canvas
coverings which would make them
very much appreciated as sleeping
porches.

ings. An example of a house designed
in this way is presented in the ac-
companying perspective view.
The exterior wall surfaces of the
first floor are finished with gray stuc-
co floated fairly smooth. The sur
faces above this are. covered with
wide clapboards, stained to represent
weathered timber or dark brown, as
preferred. The massive balcony rail
above the wide window opening in
the front wall of the house is very eff
fective as an adaptation of the origin
al style. The typical chalet has bal
cony on two sides of the building,
built close up under the caves. Very
often the timbers used in the con-
struction of these balconies were very

First Floor Plan.

The prevailing rock formation under
lying this section is yellow limestone
and it happens that some force of ma
ture during the past ages formed a
jagged break in the surface of the
earth starting at point a few hun
dred yards from the mouth Of the
creek and extending roughly along its
course until it is finally smoothed out
toward the north and west. For about
three hundred feet in its course the

creek flows along at the base of the
cliff, which is perhaps 60 feet high at
this point. The land adjacent to this
cliff, on either side of the creek, very
fortunately came into the hands of a
man who has devoted his entire life to-
the study and practice Of landscape,
architecture. He saw here the pOssi-i
bility of working out d beautiful plan
following the Swiss style.
While it must be admitted that the
true beauty of the Swiss chalet de-
pends upon it's surroundings, yet the
characteristics of this style may be
variously modified and applied to a
house designed for average surround

MISUNDERSTANDING to estimates
based on an army of 100000 men,
1880 nurses will be needed. The pres
ent strength of the army nurse corps
of the medical department is about
$500. To increase this number by
nearly 1000 per cent in year is the
task faced by the corps.
Hospitals at army camps and canton
ments still need nurses to bring the
quota for each up to the minimum of
65 considered necessary, although
since the urgent need for nurses was
made public in December nearly 1900
requests for application blanks have
been received.
In order to get the enrOllments up to
the needed number some of the re-
quirements heretofore imposed have
been waived. According to estimates
there are between 10000 and 10000
registered nurses in the country and
about 100000 other graduate and prac-
teal nurses.

things not mentioned in this inventory.
How the rats got the iron there re-

1t is commonly supposed that the fish

Tapping of their wings, however, is SO
easily seen that it can be detected
with the naked eye. Also, flying fish
are delicious for the table.

Term HThe Public ~

What we understand today by the
term ''the public" did not exist during
antiquity, as it presupposes a great
number of simultaneous readers of one
and the same writings, a condition
that could not be realized before the
invention of printing. The first book
that may be said to have had public
in the sense as now understood was
the printed Bible. The essential in
strument, however, for the formation
of "a public" journalism, did not ap-
pear before the French revolution.
