NAVAL ENGINEERS INVENT ENGRAVER New Device Makes Charts and Maps in Metal. 22 Years Ago Washington. A new method of en graving charts and maps In metal has been devised by the United States hydrographlc office of the Navy de partment. This process, the iven-w tlon of J. H. Larrahee and T. Peter Lampe, engineers of that office, re sults in Increased accuracy and a con siderable saving in time, as its opera- iiim per mi is me engineer uj v-uinpne charts and maps directly on metal printing plates without the necessity of preparing a finished drawing. . Tills machine, named the Pantos-graver by its inventors, produces a chart plate from which charts nra made which contain oceanograpliic nnd topographic features necessary to navigation, these plates being ap proximately 90 per cent complete when they leave the machine. As partial evidence of the value of this machine, Mr. Larrahee said, one rf Ita nf f nrhmtinta fnr pnorrnvinfr Foundings easily can engrave 4,500 I'gures in a day, whereas a skilled lianil-eneraver can. engfavft. only about 300. '' Laying an acid-proof etching ground o?i a highly polished copper plate, the operator sets the instrument for the required reduction and compensation, to make, allowance for any distortion of the tracing original, due to paper shrinkage, m6isture or other causes. Orefully following the design on the data print, the operator transfers the design by the pantograph principle to the copper plate by means of a dia mond point, varying the depth ' and width of the lines by weights sup ported by this engraving tool. Although there are a few symbols which the machine cannot insert, it was pointed out, such as bluffs and sanded beaches, it is possible to attain absolute uniformity in the . various symbols used In navigation as well as in the lettering, another of its In genious devices being a method of in serting lettering on a curved line. Infant Is Rescued by Novel Operation Brooklyn, N. Y. Removal of a cop per ring with a bronchoscope recently from the throat of Joseph Kesselman,' thirleen-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Kesselman, Intercepted the possible death of the child from chok ing at the United Israel Zion hospital. About a month ago Joseph was play ing with a toy and In some manner he detached the ring and put it In his mouth. The parents were aware of the Incident at the time, but took no alarm. Later the child developed .difficulty in swallowing, and after an examina tion the family physician ordered him to the hospital. An X-ray picture was taken, which showed the ring lodged behind the windpipe. , The baby re mained there for observation and two days later a second picture showed no Elgns of the trouble maker. Despite the evident departure, Jo seph continued to swallow with In creasing hardship and a third picture again exposed the ring. By this time the child could hardly make a sound. With an instrument known as the bronchoscope, consisting of a long metal tube about half an inch in diam eter and a small hook attached to a tempered wire, the ring was removed without any incision. The tube, fitted with a small electric-light bulb, was inserted in the child's throat. It was then a simple matter to reach down with the hooked wire and entract the ring. "The process is similar to fishing," paid ope of the doctors, "only in this Instance yon do not wait for the fish." Recovery was speedy apd the child returned home the next day.

I Find Widows Prefer 1 Single Men as Mates Sacramento, Calif. Gentle- fmen may prefer blonds, and then again they may not; but it can be stated positively, on the au- thority of the state board of health bureau of vital statistics, 6 that widows prefer bachelors. "Widows," says L. E. Itoss, g statistician of the bureau, who knows Just how much business the marriage license clerks do each year and with whom, "show a very marked preference for single men."
