TO HOLD STAIR CARPET. I TFICKY JAPS CAPTURE RUSSIAN TORPEDO BOATS Philadelphia Inventor Has Perfected Ingenious Device. Despite the craze that during the last few years has overrun the east-er- r section of the United States for olJed or stained uncarpeted stairways, there are still a multitude of housekeepers who adhere to the cozy, stair carpet. To all su'sh the Invention of an improved form of fastener is a matter of interest. A Philadelphia Inventor has perfected a fastener that engages the carpet at the top and bottom of both sides of the riser, the device being quickly and easily placed in position and removed therefrom. It consists of two outwardly flaring resilient arms, of wire or other material locked together, secured at the center by a metallic rosette and pointed at each exBy pressing the arms totremity. gether they can be placed beneath the ledge of one of the steps and when released the points of one pair of said arms will engage with the carpet beneath the ledge and, if desired, enter the woodwork, and similarly the other pair will engage with the stair Used Russian Code of Signals to Lure Four of the Czar's Destroyers to Their Undoing. The Nagasaki correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, cabling under date of February 22nd, reports that the Japanese squadron has captured four Russian torpedo boats at Port Arthur by using Russian signals. This dispatch appears to confirm reports from various quarters of a fresh attack on Tort Arthur, by the Japanese. The report reached Nagasaki from Chefoo, and it adds that the Russian crews of the four torpedo boats have been transferred. No other news of thia attack has been received in London, but the Chefoo correspondent of the Morning Post, in a dispatch dated February 22nd, says the statement is current there that the Japanese torpeJo boat destroyers in the attack on Tort Arthur on February 14th sunk or damaged two Russian battleships, in addition to the torpedo boats already reported. It is possible, therefore, that the report of the Telegraph's Nagasaki correspondent also refers to the earlier If 7 .THE.
