NEW KIND OF TRUNK. Top Tray Bikies Out at SMe Imtead of Lifting Out An improvement to the ordinary type of trunk has been designed by a Virginia man. The improvement consists in a top tray that slides out sideways instead of lifting out, as meet of those trays do. The tray does not set down in the body of the trunk, but has a flange and rollers along its bottom, and slides backward and forward in grooves along the top of the front and back of the trunk. The lid

Is deep enough to receive it, of course. The merits of such an arrangement wffl be readily apparent When any. thing is desired from the bottom of the trunk, it is not necessary to lift the tray out; carry ft to some other part of the room and carry ft batik again, but merely to slide it to one side. As heavy objects are seldom placed in the top tray, there is no great strain on the guideways. Another feature of this trunk is a shelf arrangement on the end, which ordinarily folds dose to the body of the trunk, but which can be lowered and used in various ways.—Boston Post.
