OLD AND NEW TEUNKS
EARUY EXAMPLE OF A NEW YORK
MAKER'S WORK.
Much Smaller and Heavier than the
Specimen of To-day Bureau Trunk
and a Chicago Woman's Improvement
on It Knslivh Leather.
"Yes, I've been G3 years manufactur
ing trunks iu New York City," said a
veteran in the trade to the Kew York
Evening Post.
"That's u long time, but I never real
ize it till I look at this article" and
he gently pulled an oilcloth covering
off a email, dark box, which, when
taken out into the light, revealed what
was acknowledged at the time of Its
manufacture to be the finest trunk
made In New York City. It looked like
a veritable antique, the shriveled little
object emitting a musty odor, which
for the moment carried one away to
the New York of 63 years ago.
"I have kept It always here with
me," Its- owner said, stroking it
thoughtfully and almost fondly, "just
to watch the evolution of the trunk in
my own factory."
The little trunk was covered with
heavy leather, four times ns thick as
the article now commonly used to cov
er the wooden frame. It was strapped
round and round with iron bands fas
tened with big, black headed halls, and
inside the two trays, neatly papered,
have bottoms of latticed tape. The
trunks fit easily in one-half of the
trunks of modern make surrounding it.
The little trunk stood beside the latest
sent out by one of the leading factories
In New York the "bureau" trunk, so
called from its resemblance, when
opened, to that piece of furniture. The
trays are in the form of drawers of
graduated depths, an upper one suffi
ciently deep for large hats. The top
tray, however, which turns up against
the lid In the ordinary way, has vari
ous small compartments, and the in
side of the lid is similarly equipped
on a narrower scale.
When this trunk first came out of
the factory a year ago a Chicago
woman purchased one and asked for
permission to take out a patent on a
proposed improvement, which was
granted her. She fitted the fall of the
top tray, which, when dropped on its
hinges, extended a few inches over
the tiers of drawers or trays below, as
a writing table, and pigeon-holed the
lid of the trunk for letters, writing ma
terial, etc., until It resembled the face
of a writing desk. She received the
patent, and presented trunks to various
friends, who found them useful as
traveling secretaries and trunks com
bined, and. although one of the largest
trunks manufactured. It weighs only a
little over fifty pounds. The trunk Is
covered with the new canvas which is
almost ns durable as leather, and In
side It is a model of neatness and
strength In its fine linen linings and
fittings'. '
"All our finest leather for trunks
romes from England," said the manu
facturer of trunks, "because the Ameri
can is In too great a hurry to make
good leather. Quick chemical process
es have taken the place of slow tan
ning. As a consequence, America pro
duces no such sole leather as England,
where the old methods of tanning are
still employed. In fact, canvas, which
Is now especially manufactured for the
purpose and painted and trented until
It Is as strong or stronger than the split
leather used In trunks, is taking the
place of the leather for reasons of
economy and saving of weight. The
Ideal trunk to-day weighs from forty
eight to sixty pounds. It must be
strong and It must be light. We have
tried aluminum, but It becomes In
dented if not made so thick as to be
too heavy and too expensive at its pres
ent market price. The frame for an
iverage trunk of this metal costs JIG."
ON WHICH SIDE TO SIT.
A Question Which the Horselea Car
riage (suggests.
The question often arises, on which
side ought the driver of an automobile
r.it? In England that question Is an
swered by saying the right-hand side Is
the proper place. The reason for this
' Is, that in Euglaud carriages when
, meeting turn to the left and pass each
cither to the right. A seat on the right-
hand side of the carriage thru en.il es
the driver to see the space letwen
(he carriages and to govern himself ac
cordingly. Ills scat on that sida and
the turning to the left arose from the
necessities of a driver who handles
' I nA Im.-n 1.1. .tt.. I...,l
free, and at the same time be In a posi
tion where he can see between the
passing vehicles. The next question
that arises is In regard to the position
of the driver In America and our meth
ods of turning out. Here we keep to
the right Instead of to the left In meet
ing vehicles and pass vehicles going In
tli same direction to the left, reveta
Ing the English and continental rule.
I This custom has puzzled fo e'gners
is well as Americans. It arose from the
fact that during colonial times the ox
team was In almost universal use. The
driver In those cases almost Invariably
walked, aud always upon the "near"
or left-baud side In ordvr to have his
goad In his right hand over his team. '
In meeting a vehicle, turning to the
right was a necessity. Otherwise It
would have been Impossible to se.
whether the' hubs of the wheels woiil.l
clear each other. As the ox team was
the universal vehicle dining the earlier
years of the colonics, the America :i
rule of the road was thus established.
It Is now too late to change it. but
with an automobile there is no reason!
why the driver should sit on the rlght
haud side, lie no linger needs to have
his right hand free for the whip; in
fact his right liand is needed for levers,
which ought to be placed -near the cen
ter of the carriage. Some manufactur
ers recogniziug this fact are placing tlu!
drivers on the left-hand side, where lia j
belongs, aud where he will be In the
best possible position to avo'd acci
dents when meeting w.th cnrr.ages.

The director of the Geological Survey
has had an appraisement made by ex
perts to determine the value of the
specimens of fossil dinosaurs belonging
to the collection of the late Prof. O. C.
Marsh, which have been turned over to
the National Museum in Washington.
According to this estimate, the skulls
of the monster trloeratops, or "three
horned beast," are worth at least $5,000
apiece, while othfrr skulls' vary in value
from $50 to $250. The head and neck
of the trlceratops were covered by an
enormous bony helmet seven or eight
feet long.
The London Optician reproduces the
views of Dr. Kotz, a Russian physi
cian, on fatigue of the eye. Whether
muscular or retinal, fatigue of the eye,
says Dr. Kotz, may be approximately
measured by the number of the eyelid
movements or involuntary blinks Iu a
specified period. By this system, more
than three movements per minute Indi
cate a thoroughly unsuitable illumina
tion. The experimental results ob
tained by tliis somewhat crude meth
od are given as: Candle llgllt, G.8
movements per minute; gas, 2.8; sun
light, 2.2; electric light, 1.8.
Anti-typhoid Inoculation made by
Prof. A. E. Wright among British
troops In India seem to have given very
promising results. The total number
of men under observation was 11,2!)5,
of whom 2,8:15 had been inoculated and
8,400 had not, and the Inoculated were
mostly newly arrived young men, espe
cially liable to typhoid fever, while the
uninoculated were mainly more sea
soned and less susceptible Individuals.
Yet the percent age of the uninoculated
attacked by typhoid fever was 2.5 and
among the Inoculated It was 0.05. The
deaths were less affected, having been
0.34 per cent, among the uninoculated
and 0.2 among the inoculated. '
J. M. Bacon, the Englishman, who
with his daughter made a lofty balloon
ascent to observe the meteor shower
last November, tells some Interesting
things about the sounds thnt reached
their ears. At the height of 5,000 feet
the ringing of horses' feet on a hard
road could be heard. At 4,000 feet the
splashing sound made by ducks In a
pond was audible. The barking of
dogs and the crowing of cocks could
be heard at 7,000 or 8.000 feet. These
sounds penetrated through a white
floor of cloud which hid the earth from
eight. In the perfect silence of the air
around the balloon they were startled
by what seemed stealthy footsteps
close at hand. Investigation showed
thnt this sound was caused by the
stretching of the ropes and the yielding
of the silk ns the balloon continued
to expand.
There Is visible In the night sky, un
der favorable circumstances, a faint
light, rounded In outline, and situated
nlvays exuetly opposite to the place ot
the sun. It is called the "gegen
schein," and Is one of the most Inex
plicable objects known to astronomers.
Recently Prof. W. II. Pickering has
suggested a new explanation of the
gegenscheln. According to him it
may be "a sort of cometary or meteoric
satellite" attending the earth. lie sup
poses It to be composed of a cloud of
meteors, situated about 1,000,000 miles
from the earth, and revolving around
It' In a period of Just one year, so that
the sun and the meteors are always on
opposite sides of the earth. He esti
mates that the size of this ghostly sat
ellite may 1m nearly the snme as thnt
of the planet Jupiter, viz., about 8U,
000 miles In diameter.

FLIGHT EXTRAORDINARY.
feasant Woman Shot from a Monn
taintop to the Volley.
Teresa Faloiola, an Italian peasant
woman, met recently with an extraordi
nary adventure. Near her home. In the
village of Quanta, which nestles iu 11
spacious valley, is a high and wooded
mountain, and there it has been her
custom, as is general there, to go two
or three times a week for the purpose
of collecting firewood. To bring this
wood from the precipitous mountain
was quite an arduous task. Therefore,
It was sent down by means of a strong
metal wire, stretched from the valley
up to the mountain top.
A few weeks ago she and her two
little daughters ascended the mountain
and after gathering three goodly bun
dles of wood prepared to send them
down. Just, however, as the mother
had fastened the first bundle to the wire
and had launched It on Its downward
course her wedding ring became caught
In the rope with which the bundle was
tied, and lu a flash she was carried oft
her feet and swept downward Into the
valley. Half paralyzed with fear, her
little daughters watched her as she
sped from their sight with amazing
swiftness, and then they ran down the
mountain, fully expecting to find her
lying dead nt the end of the wire.
And their fear was quite natural,
since the mountain top from which
their mother had been torn Is 800 yards
above the' valley. Fortunately, their
' fear proved to be groundless. They
found their mother entirely uninjured.
Yet, wouderful indeed was It that her
life was not crushed out of her nt tho
end of her perilous descent. It would
have been If her fall hnd not been
broken as she was reaching the earth
by some friendly branches. The bundle
of wood, too, was in some measure a
bulwark against the rock.

The Buffalo branch of the Pennsyl
rania Railroad, which will run through
Bradford from Wilcox, Pa., across the
ridges, by way of Lafayette. AlcKean
county, will cross a deep and moun
tainous george in the latter vicinity
with a steel viaduct nearly 500 feet
high. The bridge, says the Philadel
phia Ledger, will be over 8,000 feet in
length, ami its construction will be
one of the greatest engineering feats on
record. It will be the highest bridge
in the world.
