TRANSFEK'EXEKCISES N
Program Was Promptly Rendered With
Large Crowd Present
The program rendered by the pupils
of the grammar school at the annual
transfer exercises, held in the High
school auditorium last evening, was
given without a flaw and proved to
be one of the most entertaining affairs
of its kind since transfer exercises
were first introduced. Dorothy Hazel
McCoy's "Description of a Person"
was applauded more heartily than per
haps any other number offered, because,
until almost the last word, the large
audience thought she was describing a
member of the class, but when the
name was mentioned, and found to be
that of a prominent teacher, well
known, the uproar became almost
deafening.
John William Grimes, who had at
tended a sesgion of the legislature just
recently, gave a vivid description of
how the sights impressed him. The
speaker of the evening was the Rev.
A. K. Wier, pastor of Centenary United
Brethren church.

WHEN UiOWS MOBILIZE.
They Usually Miss Themselves For
Attack Upon an Enemy.
The crows are musters of mobiliza
tion. Such mobilizations have fre
quently been investigated. Usuully
they prove to be for the attack on some
enemy.
Thoreau speaks of the crows "burst
ing up above the woods where they
were perching like the black fragments
of a powder mill Just exploded." When
they are gathered for war purposes
their cries will lead you to the spot
where they are fighting, and these
same bursts of black fragments above
the trees, usually following an especial
uproar of cawing, wili direct you to the
center of the battle.
Waiter King Stone, the illustrator,
and Charles Livingston Bull have told
me of a mobilisation they once wit
nessed, when the crows gathered for
hours and the two observers were able
to penetrate the woods to the exact
spot beneath the feathered explosions.
There they found a great horned owl
flying low in the trees with a- dead
crow in his talons. Whether this wns
the original cause of the battle or
whether he had grabbed the crow in
one of the descents of the birds about
his head they, of course, could not say.
He was evidently struggling to find a
dead tree where he could <take refuge.
He was saved probably by the coming
of night
Crows have even been known to at
tack foxes, as Winslow Homer's paint
ing is the most famous witness.
A farmer near my home who has
observed crows for many years and
has the reputation of knowing more
about tbem than any one else In the
neighborhood tells me that almost In
variably in his experience the cause
of a large mobilization is either a big
owl or a hawk. The little screech owls
are also attacked, but by leaser num
bers. He has also personally seen the
crows attack a fox while it was cross
ing an open field, and once he watched
a flock of nearly 100 crows worrying
a Skye terrier dog, which was so thor
oughly tl'lgbtened that It was running
In circles. 1 have seen crows attack
a cat also, but the cat always is wise
enough to make for cover. Walter
Prlchard Eaton In Harper's Magazine.

THE STEAM ENGiNL
Its History a Romance of Philoso
phy and Mechanics.
I '
UNCLE SAM'S FINE EXHIBIT.
Tho National Muiaum at Washington
Shows tha Firat Cruda Machines
Made aa Well aa Originals and Mod
af tha Firat Locomotives.
Probably no museum collection In tba
world better Illustrates the develop
ment of the steam engine, particularly
the locomotive, than the exhibit of tha
United States Natloual museum at
Washington, which includes two of tba
earliest original locomotives and nu
merous, models and accessories.
The history of the steam engine is a
materialistic romance without parallel
In the record of human achievements.
It covers the stupendous and persist
ent efforts of many early philosophers
and mechanics who found steam a
mysterious uncontrollable force and
left It a comprehensible controllable
factor of public service.
No one knows how long after it was
observed that by holding down the lid
of a kettle of boiling liquid a certain
force was created, due to the com
pression of the steam, before any use
was attempted with this newly discov
ered force. It is certain, however, that
a sort of steam engine was exhibited
in Alexandria. Egypt, about 200 years
before our era began, and it was de
scribed in a work on pneumatics by
Hero of Alexandria, written between
ISO and 130 B. C. This machine was
a rotary affair, more theoretical than
practical, as were many of the result*
of philosophy in those days. A recon
struction of this engine in model form
is in the museum exhibits.
I Nothing more Is to be found concern-
I ing the steam engine for centuries, a
| fact which is no doubt due to the lac*
; of interest in anything which did not
' have to do with war or warlike imple
ments. A book published in Home In
1029 gives a description of Giovanni
■ Branca's crude steam engine, showing
it to have been an elementary steam
turbine, with the sole defect that it
lacked any appliances for making the
steam follow the vanes, or buckets, of
i the revolving wheel, so that more of
Its energy might have been converted
i into useful work. One author in a
treatise on locomotives claims that had
some 'genius improved upon this early
i device the reciprocating engine would
probably never have been Invented, but
that we would have had the advantage
I of our modern turbines much sooner.
The museum possesses a model of a
very early machine designed by Sir
Isaac Newton in 1680 which was pro
pelled by a Jet of steam projected
backward against the air and a model
of Denis Papln's invention of about
the same time. The investigations of
| Savery and Papin and the successful
experimental engines of Thomas New
comen in 1705 with his piston and
I cylinder soon followed. Newcomen's
j ideas were improved by Jp.mes Watt in
' 1709, who also introduced the high
pressure engines, the condenser and
. later the double acting engine. The
development of the engine was advanc
ed by Cugnot, Evans. Hornbloww and
j Murdoch. A model of the latter's en
gine is on display In the museum.
As the result of a wager made by a
resident of Merthyr Tydfil, an impor
tant iron town of South Wales, that
he could convey a load of iron nine
miles by the power of steam alone
Richard Trevitbick made the first en
gine to run on rails in 1803 and won
the wager for his employer the next
year. Trevtthick, it has been claimed,
copied the stationary engine built in
1800 by Oliver Evans, an American,
who was later ingenious enough to at
tach wheels to a scow and propel it by
steam through the streets of Philadel
phia In 1804. This curious creation,
called the Oruktor Amphlbolls, was the
first motorcar to run on American soil
A model of Trevithlck'a engine Is to
be seen In the National museum, as
Is also the model of the engine em
ployed by John Stevens in 1825 and
his original tubular boiler. Other mod
els Illustrate nearly all the types which
begitn to put in their appearance soon
after 1826, when the Stourbridge
Lion was built in England and ship
ped to America, where It was the first
engine to run on full sized rails. The
museum possesses not only the model
of this historic engine, but the orig
inal engine itself. The other original
full sized locomotive to be seen in the
museum is the John Bull, built by
George Stephenson &. Sons of England
and shipped to America for use in 1881
on the Camden and Amboy railroad.
It is Interesting to recall that this old
relic of early railroading in America
made a round trip under Its own steam
In 1803 from New York to Chicago,
where it was exhibited at the World's
Columbian exposition.
Among the models of early and his
toric locomotives are George Stephen
son's Rocket, which was built in 1829;
the B. and O. engine Tom Thumb, built
by Peter Cooper in 1829; the grasshop
per type engine Arabian of 1831; the
Best Friend, used in 1830-1; Baldwin's
Old Ironsides, constructed in 1832;
the Sandusky. built in 183T, and
models of engines made by Asa Whit
ney in 1840 and G. A. Nlcholls in
1848. Besides the two locomotives and
the numerous engine models, there are
in the exhibit coach and car models,
sections of rails, spikes, wheels and
models and parts of valves, pistons
and other early accessories pertaining
to locomotives and rallronds.
Perhaps the Germans at Ypres meant
to shoot those Canadians full of holes
anyway and thought it more merciful
to put them into a "twilight sleep"
first.

HORROR IN ENGLAND

Glasgow crashed into them. The re
sult was 1 terrifying. Locomotives and
cars, shattered and splintered, were
hurled about in confusion.
Fire <broke out and spread with great
rapidity through the wreckage. It was
soon burning so fiercely that the men
engaged in the work of rescue were
driven back. There was nothing to do
but wait' for the eoming of the fire
brigades.
These were brought up at all possible
speed. Once on the scene they labored
frantically to control the flames. In
the end they were successful but beforo
the fire was put out many of the trav
elers pinned under the wreckage of the
cars and unafole to make their escape
were burned alive before the eyes of
the helpless onlookers.
Five hundred men of one regiment
were on the troop train. When the
roll was called after the wreck only
fifty-two officers and men responded.
Numbers of others, however, were en
gaged in caring for their wounded com
rades.
Some of the victims were no mang
led that their rescue from tho wreck
age was impossible. Beveral others who
were extricated died soon after.
Doctors performed heroic services,
braving tho flames in their efforts to
help those pinned in the tangled mass
es of wood and iron. One physician, Dr.
Edwards, responded to the appeals of
two soldiers who were imprisoned by
the legs. Facing the scorching flames,
he amputated both legs of one soldier
and one leg of the other, and this
method offered their only hope of es
cape. One of the soldiers died from the
shock.
NEW PRINCIPAL'SEES RED'
IN OVERCROWDING PROBLEM
Professor Dibble Tells School Board He
Is Pleased With Everything In Con
nection With His New Position, Ex
cept the High School Building
Professor Howard G. Dibble, new
principal of the Central High School,
in a speech before the School Board
last night declared that he "sees red"
for the pupils when he contemplates
the overcrowded conditions of the
building. He expressed the hope of'
being able to do something to relieve
the congestion. He thanked the board
for his election and said he is pleased
with the city and with the Bchool, es
pecially since he has met the faculty
and students.
"I am pleased with everything but
the building," he said, "and you can
not expect me to be enthusiastic about
that. I am beginning to see red, for
the pupils in the cramped 'quarters, are
not getting the chance they ought to
have."
Professor Dibble's desire is to iiave
a structure better than the Technical
High School building, he said. The
new principal took up his new duties at
the Central High School on Monday.
It was decided to place the new
Tenth ward school house, at Tenth and
Mahantongo streets, well back from tKe
street to give room for a park.

GIRL GRADUATES

Fashion Flowers Introduced for
Oolor
New York, May 22.
The question of the graduation dress
is always perplexing. Here girlhood
and womanhood meet, but the girl must
yet be kept the girl for the one day of
days when she receives the bit of parch
ment, which seals her school life.
In this season of revived fashions
and fabrics, the problem simplifies itself
to some extent, for all styles are youth
ful. One need only visit the large stores
to appreciate the variety offered in
these frocks. La, la, you fair maidens,
wrestling with the quibs and questions
of your last examinations, you should
foe with me in the great metropolis!
On the spacious fourth floor of a house,
devoted solely to the needs of the girl,
there are mahogany cases, filled with
frothy white dresses, stretching away
row after row, like the battalions of an
army. It is seldom you find so large
an assemblage of frocks for one pur
pose, anil age, collected in one place.
Here you can be outfitted from tip to
toe, with the style and suitability of
the garments assured.

A Pink Rose Above the Hem Gives the
Graduation Dress of Net and Taffeta
a Touch of Color
At first glance, it seems the whole
graduating world is to be gowned in
net, so completely does the fabric domi
nate the collection. No doubt, it is the
extremely full skirt that brings this
material so noticeably to the #bre; but
regardless of the cause, the effect is
charming in the quaint Empire, bodice
and bolero dresses, showing features
from old fashions such RH short, puffed
sleeves and narrow ruffles. Valencien
nes, filet and imitation Irish crochet,
repeated again and again in the trim
ming, reminds one forcibly of"the time
ly revival of these three laces. There
are frocks, too, where heavy embroid
ery is used in the ornamentation; others
edged with half-inch shirred ribbon, and
here and there a model touched with
taffeta. One frock in particular of the
last type has the new laced front
bodice, rippling peplum, and applied
hem of the silk. The guimpe, showing
above and between the lacings of the
bodice; the sleeves, puffed until they
resemble toy balloons and the skirt,
with its entire width gathered in at-the
waist, are of net. A half-blown rose of
delicate pink, tacked above the hem,
gives a touch of color, which makes
the net and taffeta seem the purer white
for the contrast. It might be well to
add here, while speaking of the rose,
that all the frocks have this bit of color
and are named according to the flower
they show. The model mentioned above
is the rose dress; the Marguerite frock
has a chain of daisies around the waist
and the pansy dress, a corsage bouquet
of deep purple pansies as the name
implies.
These touches and trimmings are also
carried out in frocks of other fabrics;
introduced, ]>erhaps, to diversify the net
models or for the few who do not care
for such transparent material as the net.
As the styles themselves hint of old
time fashions so these textures, have
their origin in the modes of from 1840
to 1850, Sheer Swiss, plain and em
hroidered, batiste, point d'esprit or
gandy and dimiiv show to goo<T effect
with ValencienneH lace. Only two reallv
modern materials are used and these
are cotton crepe, and voile.
Since so many of the schools have
set the limit of three dollars for the
cost of the frock, the stores also feat
ure inexpensive fabrics by the, yard,
the goods draped on forms to show the
various styles in which to make it up.
There aw* dainty cross-barred dimities;
Swisses, plain and embroidered batistes,
voiles and crepes for twenty cents a
yard; nets at forty cents come seventy
iwo inches wide. The dotted Swiss is
unusually attractive as one draper ar
ranges it, in an Empire effect. The
trimming is suggested, too. At the

and in good taste, too". A silk glove,
pin tucked around and around the wrist,
a half-inch apaTt, or delicately embroid
ered, mpy he worn; the new lace gloves,
too, is perfectly appropriate for the girl
grad nate.
The medium heel on the shoes is
another feature of the fashions shown
for graduation that the mother, at least,
will like. These appear, slightlv curved
in the approved French style,"on slip
pers of white kid with colonial buckles
and on white satin pumps with flowers
in front to match the flower of the
frock. This makes one think that the
makers of slippers and the makers of
frocks have held some secret sessions
this season. Nor are the styles confined
alone to white; black patent leather is
considered equally appropriate for the
graduate, especially if worn with white
stockings. There is a pretty model
shown with flat heel and crossed laces
of ribbon, which brings to mind Crino
line days, when tiny slippered feet
peeped from beneath the folds of the
hoop skirt.
The Day of Days Demands a Simple
Girlish Frock, Such u the Empire
Now in lashion
The simplicity of the fashions al
lows but little jewelry. Such touches
as a string of pearls, a torquoise locket,
or a heavy gold bracelet, are employed
to give the desired old-time atmosphere.
The hair, however, is decidedly modern,
but so artistic that it in nowise spoils
the quaiutuess of the costume. The
bobbed effect is the most .popular
coiffure for the young girl. This may
sound as if the younger generation are
recklessly cutting off their hair; do not
be misled for such is not »ne case.
Some clever Miss lately conceived the
idea of combing her hair back straight
in front, low over the ears and wind
ing it in a loose coil in back. Her
friend copied it and now all the young
girls have the effect of the Castle clip
without the "clip" and the originator
of the fad, who cut her hair close,
envies them their long tresses. Since
the first girl wound her hair in this
knot in back, so many have adopted the
mode that pins have been especially
designated for the knot. They consist
of a single straight spike with ball or
slender triangular top of amber, jet or
tortoise shell. Poignards, the French
call them; in plain English they are
dashers. One of these pins will hold the
knot firmly and is a fitting finish for a
young girl's coiffure; more, Dame Fash
ion taboos as poor taste.
