is made entirely in the Regal people’s
own mills. They know the quality of
every square inch of it. That’s why
they can guarantee it. r
AMIWUD They make the wool felt—know that
it is the best quality, long-ilbred wool.
They refine and process their own
asphalt—get it direct from Lake Trini
PLAIN dad. No man has yet found anything
else half as good for waterproofing.
| So here is a roofing that is proof
AND against the broiling sun, against enow
and rain, freezing and thawing, the
oxygen in the air and the other things
GOLDEN which so soon ruin other wool felt roof
ings. J-M Regal Roofing is also highly
fire-resisting. .

Shell That Has
Big Possibilities
(Valdez Prospector)
Among the arrivals on the North
western was Jeff Dowling, formerly a
resident of Valdez, but for the past
two ^ears a citizen of Juneau. Mr.
Dowling has brought himself consid
erable renown of late through the in
vention of a shell for use in trench
warfare, which promises to complete
ly revolutionize the present war meth
ods, and make the trench, now one of
the most relied-upon methods of de
fense, obsolete.
Mr. Dowling’s invention is along
entirely new lines, and promises to
supersede the present shrapnel shell
entirely. The shrapnel shell, as now
constructed, consists of a case, hiled
with an explosive and a large number
of bullets, which exploded by a time
fuse, the bullets scattering over a
wide area.
In Mr. Dowling’s invention the
shells are filled with a series of small
bombs which do not explode until they
strike the ground, thus giving the
double effect of an explosion and a
missile. Mr. Dowling has with him
a model of a 6-inch shell, a descrip
tion of which will give an idea of the
principle on which the shell works,
and in fact this shell is identical with
all other sizes with the exception of
the number of bombs contained. In
the model shell are grouped three se
ries of bombs, each series numbering
18, or a total of 54 within the body of
the shell. Through the center of the
shell runs a circular opening of small
diameter which in practical use is fil
led with explosive. At a pre-deter
mined instant this explosive is fired
by a time fuse, rupturing the outer
shell and scattering the inner shells
over a considerable area. The rup
ture of the outer shell also sets in op
eration the mechanism for exploding
the inner shells. These small shells
are provided with a tail which causes
them to fall point downward, and on
striking the ground they are exploded ]
by the blow driving a small plunger
against a percussion cap. In the event1
the shells strike in mud or extremely
soft ground so that the plunger fails
to explode the shell a time fuse in
sures its explosion.
This shell is expected to make
trench warfare impracticable, being
far more destructive in its effects than
the ordinary shrapnel, in that when
the range has once been established
the small shells can be dropped into
the trenches in numbers, exploding in
the trenches and making their occu
pation untenable. The shell also has
a great advantage over the much-used
and most deadly weapon of trench
warfare, the hand grenade, as it can
be used at any distance within the
range of the modern cannon, whereas
the limit of the ordinary grenade
when thrown by hand, is but a few
yards, but with trench mortars a lit
tle over 500 yards.
Mr. Dowling has been to the states
recently with his model and drawings
and has submitted them to several
ordnance experts who have pronounc
ed the invention a great advance over
the present form of shrapnel shell,
and the firing device the most simple
and efficient yet submitted. He also
submitted the model and drawings to
agents of the warring European na
tions and has received a great deal
of encouragement from them, and he
has been requested to make a test of
the shell before them, which he will
arrange to do in the near future.

ATLANTIC CITY, August 29.—
The boardwalk, most frivolous and
cosmopolitan of all thoroughfares, to
day bears a distinctly colonial appear
ance as the result of the Dolly Varden
skirt rage which has just hit it. These
pretty, owing, flowered skirts have
been fashionably extinct for many
years. The flowered figures upon
them are often five times the size of
the original.
