FUEL FOR TORPEDO-BOATS Tests of Coal and Briquets in American Navy The results of "Comparative tests of run-of-mine and briqueted coal on the torpedo boat Biddle," have just been published by the United States Geological Survey as Bulletin 403, by Walter T. Ray and Henry Krelsinger. The main object of these tests was to determine whether briqueted coal can be used on torpedo boats with advantage over run-of-mine coal. The fuels were compared not only with respect to economy but as regards the tendency to smoke, the amount of sparks emitted from the stack, the rate at which steam can be made, the ease with which the fires are handled, and the ease of transferring fuel from the coal bunkers to the fireroom. The coal used in the tests came from four different mines in the New River coal field, in West Virginia. The briquets made from these coals were of two sizes; the larger were rectangular, 6 3-4 by 4 1-4 by 3 inches; the smaller were circular in cross section, 3 1-4 inches in diameter, 2 3-8 inches thick in the center, and 1 1-4 inches thick at the circumference. The binder used was 6 per cent of water-gas pitch. The bulletin contains a detailed description of the tests, with complete tabulated results of observations and diagrams showing graphically the relations between the various factors in coal consumption. Although the deductions and conclusions of the authors must be regarded as applicable only to the particular conditions—that is, to the tests of New River run-of-mine coals when burned under a boiler of the Normand type on vessels of the torpedo-boat class—yet much of the comment is suggestive and useful to operators of steam plants in general. Senator Newlands concluded with the surmise that it might be best to affirm the Hammon contract now before the president, but if it was to be affirmed a tribunal sitting as a public service commission should, under the sanction of both state and national governments, take in hand the matter of regulating charges and preserving the rights of the people. CALIFORNIA IS INTERESTED Two Meetings of Importance Soon to Be Held In Chicago From November 16th to December 4th two very important events will take place in Chicago, and California is deeply interested in both of them. On Nov. 16 the National Farm Land Congress will open its session which will continue five days, the meetings to be devoted to educating and informing the people of the entire country as to the possibilities of development of all lands. On Nov. 20 the United States Land and Irrigation Exposition will open to continue until Dec. 4 it being devoted to a display of products from farms of the Middle and Western States, together with exhibits from experimental farms of the United States and the various states. The California Promotion Committee has secured large space at the exposition for the display of pictures and distribution of literature and has secured the concession of delivering illustrated lectures every day during the continuance of the exposition. Dr. Clarence E. Edwords, chief of the literary bureau of the committee, who is well and favorably known all over California as a lecturer, will go to Chicago to deliver the lectures and superintend the work of the committee. He is also on the program of the national farm land congress for two lectures and has been appointed by Governor Gillett as the stated CALIFORNIA Enthusiastic Meeting to Be Held When a small believers in wagon gathered together years ago, and around which National River ress, they did not results as have At the last meeting a year sand delegates and the indic session, to be C., December bid fair to have many in attend.

Although the reductions and conclusions of the authors must be regarded as applicable only to the particular conditions—that is, to the tests of New River run-of-mine coals when burned under a boiler of the 'Normand type on vessels of the torpedo-boat class—yet much of the comment is suggestive and useful to operators of steam plants in general. The tests showed that there is little or no gain in efficiency in burning briquets of either size, as compared with coal, but that a somewhat higher boiler capacity can be obtained with briquets. Steam can be raised more quickly with briquets than with run-of-mine coal. Both large and small briquets make at least as much smoke as run-of-mine coal, and there seems to be more flaming in the stack with the briquets than with the coal. The amount of sparks is about the same with both forms of fuel. When briquets are burned the fire does not need to be disturbed, but when coal is used the fuel bed must be broken up, generally after each firing. Run-of-mine coal can be transferred much more readily than briquets from the coal bunker to the fireroom, there is much difficulty in handling briquets in the narrow bunkers and the small fireroom of the torpedo boat, and with briquets the capacity of a coal bunker is reduced by 23 to 27 per cent. The paper concludes with a discussion of the character of the black smoke formed in the combustion of smoky fuels and of the best means of avoiding this nuisance and waste.

Jennings, chairman of the committee, is a member of the advisory committee for California, and is also a member of the program committee, and he has written to all commercial organizations of the state urging them to send delegates to these meetings. He calls especial attention to the great advertising possibilities of these gatherings, as there will be fully half a million Middle Western farmers in attendance.

Sentence was imposed after Hatfield made a plea that brought tears to the eyes of many men who listened to his story. He pleaded guilty to running away from Ventura with Pearl Eastman,14 years old. He was arrested at Redondo Beach with the girl. Sentence as imposed by Judge Davis was the minimum for the offense. "I have done wrong," Hatfield said. "I want to be sentenced, judge, and to serve a prison term, but I don't want to come from prison a white-haired man. I want a chance to be a good citizen and to help my old mother when I come out."

Nevadans Warned to Be Alert in Protecting Their Rights Reno, Nev., Nov. 6.—United States Senator Newlands, in an address last night, before the senatorial committee on irrigation, warned: the people of Nevada to be on the alert to see that their rights as consumers-to-be of electrical power were not infringed as a result of the contract under consideration by the President between the Hammon Waterpower people and the government, affecting Lake Tahoe and the waters of Nevada. Senator Newlands, after reverting to the fact that the west had one-third of the representation of the senate, and, with Arizona and New Mexico admitted, would have even more and without partisanship could have a predominating influence on legislation affecting the west, turned his attention to reclamation and conservation, which he said were allied. He said the reclamation act was the first blow at the spoils system of division of government money, and that the conservation policy of the government was directed to keep the lands, waters, mines and forests beyond the power of monopoly. While he did not think it desirable for the government to go into the waterpower business, Senator Newlands stated that a restriction could be imposed by the government in whatever grant was made, whereby the rights of the people and safety from monopolistic control would be assured, and if the nation failed in that it would be incumbent upon the state to look about for protection. Without discussing the precedence entailed, he stated that the people of Nevada had a right to secure the use of waterpower or electricity as a derivative at a reasonable charge. ANAHEIM GAZETTE CALIFORNIA WATER WAYS Enthusiastic Interest Attaches to Meeting to Be Held at Washington When a small body of enthusiastic believers in waterway improvement gathered together in Washington five years ago, and formed the nucleus around which has been formed the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, they did not hope for such great results as have already been attained. At the last meeting, held in Washington a year ago, more than a thousand delegates were in attendance, and the indications for the coming session, to be held in Washington, D.C., December 8th to 10th, inclusive, bid fair to have nearly double that many in attendance. California is especially interested in this Congress and its discussions and at the last session was represented by a large body of delegates. At the coming session there should be still greater interest shown owing to the fact that a strong effort will be made to have a systematic campaign for general betterment inaugurated. Bonds to the amount of $500,000,000 were endorsed by the last congress for the purpose of improving all waterways and harbors of the nation, and these bonds have been endorsed by such men as President Taft, Ex-President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Philander C. Knox and by hundreds of thousands of businessmen all over the country. The coming session will devote a large part of its discussion to the campaign for these bonds. President Taft, who is deeply interested in everything pertaining to a betterment of the American merchant marine and the inland waterways of the country, will deliver the opening address of the congress. It is especially urged that all com- cots $3120, blackberries $5266, beans $11,600, cabbage $119,475, celery $535,-059, cauliflower $70,500; sweet corn $150, grapes $30,000, grape fruit $3840, lemons $75,064, onions $8865, oranges $1,276,191, olives $24,250, pears $1293, peaches $62,760, peas $6880, persimmon $1000, plums $4800, Irish potatoes $459,920, sweet potatoes $76,085, prunes $960, strawberries $22,000, tomatoes $108,800; total $2,908,628.

In the fore part of August, 1812,a party of hunters found in a mountainous region now known as Rabun county,Ga.,a being nearly eight feet high covered with bluish hair and having a human face adorned with immense ears resembling those of an ass.The creature was stone deaf and on that account seemed wholly unconscious of the approach of the men. This monster seems，从 all accounts ，to have been seen upon several occasions during the next four years.In 1816 a number of adventurers from Virginia most of them surveyors working up the unexplored portions of Georgia and the Carolinas ,formed themselves into a party for the express purpose of capturing the uncanny being if possible. They scoured the hills and valleys for several days and at last returned unsuccessful to the starting point. The many tales told of this extraordinary being seem to have created quite a stir all along the Atlantic coast.A printed circular issued by a land company in 1815 says,"The climate of Georgia is exceedingly mild,the soil productive,and the danger of attack from uncouth beasts which are represented as being half beast and half man are fairy tales not worthy of consideration."—Exchange. Made It Quite Clear. The engineers of a party in the field were continually annoyed by the curiosity of the farmer folk in the country round.Each and every day their progress was blocked by some inquirying soul who would have liked to spend the forenoon acquiring answers to questions of why and whither and how far and what for ,relates the New York Sun. At last a serious faced young man took an interested buccolic graybeard one side and explained matters. "Now," said he,"I'm telling this to you,and I don't want it to go any further. We have discovered that the earth is a parabolic hexoid,and the ordinates and co-ordinates do not quite tally by a foot or perhaps by fourteen inches." TUNGSTEN ORE IN ARIZONA Report by the United States Geological Survey About 12 miles south by a little east of Benson, Cochise county, Ariz., in the Whetstone Mountains, an at tempt has been made to mine wolframite, the tungstate of manganese and iron, from deposits that are thought to be unlike anything heretofore described in the literature of ore deposits. The mineral occurs in a light-colored granite that is intrusive in mica schist and limestone, being found near the contact of granite and schist and in a tongue of granite 60 or 70 ft long, which runs out into the schist. Most of it is in segregations in the granite similar to hornblendic and bio titic segregations in granite at many other places. The ore appears to be an original constituent of the granite. The deposit was formerly worked and a few tons of ore were taken out and shipped. It is said that as mined and hand picked the ore averaged 10 per cent of tungstic trioxide. No work has been done here for the last two or three years, and the deposit is of interest mainly because of the peculiar occurrence of the mineral. A short paper describing this deposit, by Frank L. Hess, appears in Bulletin 380 of the United States Geological Survey, a copy of which may be obtained on application to the Director, Washington, D. C. Y.M.C.A.

A PRAYER. Just as I shape the purport of my thought, Lord of the Universe, shape Thou my lot. Let each ill thought, that in my heart may be, Mould Circumstance, and bring ill luck to me, Until I weed the garden of my mind, From all that is unworthy, or unkind. Am I not Master of my mind, dear Lord? Then as I think, so must be my reward. Who sows in weakness, cannot reap in strength; That which we plant we gather in at length: Great God of justice, be Thou just to me; And as my thought, so let my future be. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Nautilus. Paris Student Restaurants. Student restaurants in Paris are an institution that Americans may well envy. They are run solely for the benefit of the students, although strangers are welcome. There are certain little formalities that must be observed. For instance, it is the duty of every one entering to bow to the madame and say, "Bonjour, madame," or "Bonsoir, madame," according to the time of day. After one has finished his meal he asks for the "addition," as the bill is called. When it is presented by the trim little waitress it is considered only proper to say, "Merci,ademoiselle." He then leaves a tip of 10 centimes, or 2 cents, and again bowing to the madame and saying "Bonjour" or "Bonsoir," he is at liberty to leave. The highest priced article on the bill of fare is 75 centimes, or 15 cents, and this in all students' restaurants is a chateaubland, a tender piece of beefsteak surrounded with potatoes souffle. Never drink French coffee. It is execrable. The French do not consider coffee good unless the bean is burned to a black crisp.—Lyceumite. Oak Mark For Government Surveyors.

At last a serious faced young man took an interested bucolic graybeard one side and explained matters. "Now," said he, "I'm telling this to you, and I don't want it to go any further. We have discovered that the earth is a parabolic hexoid, and the ordinates and co-ordinates do not quite tally by a foot or perhaps by fourteen inches. The place where the gap comes has been located in that field just ahead of us. We don't want it mentioned but we are getting ready to blow up the spot and make an incision before beginning the operation of joining the two." The engineers finished their labors in peace and solitude. The Shilling Bequest. The wealthy auctioneer who reduced the inheritance of a daughter to an annuity of £104 because she had become a Socialist reminds one of the old fashioned "cutting off with a shilling." Why a shilling rather than nothing? Blackstone explains. The Romans used to set aside wills as deficient in natural duty if they disinherited or totally passed by any child of the testator. But the smallest legacy was accepted as evidence that the testator had not lost his reason or his memory, as the law otherwise assumed he had; hence the groundless belief in England that a father could not disinherit his child without a shilling, although the English law knows no presumption of insanity or forgetfulness in such a case. Of Sherl dan and his son Tom (and of other fathers and sons) the story is told: "Father—I'll cut you off with a shilling. Son—I'd rather have it now, dad."—St. James' Gazette. Appealed to His Pride. It was the most obstinate mule in the lot and refused to enter the car of a train held up at a little wayside station. Threats, cajolery and blows were alike useless. The mule refused to budge, and the slant of his ears told those of the passengers who were familiar with mule ear talk that where he was he intended to stay. Then the aged African who was trying to load him in sald in honeyed tones: "Whuffo' yo' behave dis way before all dese strange people? Why, yo' fool mule, doan' yo' know dat dese people will jes' believe dat yo' neber done trabeled befo' in all yo' life?" The long ears lost their aggressive slant, and the beast went sedately up the inclined plank with the air of a man entering a drawing room car for the first time and determined not to betray the fact—Exchange.

HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA Stockton Schools Institute Commendable Course California history will receive the comprehensive study it deserves if the example set by the Stockton public schools is followed generally throughout the state. Under the auspices of the committee on history and relics of the "Rush of '49" organization, a booklet was issued and distributed among the schools of the state giving an outline for a study of the history of California. Standard works were listed for the benefit of teachers and students, and quotations were made from them. The scope of the booklet is determinable from the following list of topics treated: Discovery and early exploration; Spanish California (1767-1822); California (1822-1846), from cession by Spain to Mexico to war between Mexico and the United States; transition period (1846-1850), from beginning of war to admission of California as a state; California (1850-1861), with the organization of state and county governments, etc.; Rush of '49, with statistics about population descriptions of character of the miners, their dress and equipment, means of travel, houses, methods of mining, administration of justice, and social life; the southern mines, with a description of the various towns and districts. A very interesting feature is a list of prices charged for food for clothing and supplies. It was the idea of the Stockton people that perhaps undue importance is attached to the study of ancient history of other countries and that much of the time devoted to it could be spent to better purpose in reading the early history of the state which plays so important a part in their lives. GREATEST DREADNAUGHT North Dakota Uncle Sam's Best Fighting Ship. Rockland (Me.) Nov. 4.—The North Dakota is the fastest battleship of the Dreadnaught type afloat, as well as one of the two most powerful ships in the world. Her screw standardization tests over the Rockland measured course of one mile today developed a maximum speed of 22.25 knots, an average of 21.823. Both marks are in excess of the best performances of either her sister ship, the Delaware, or the Bellerophon, the fastest Dreadnaught of the British navy. In attaining this surprising speed, the turbine engines of the North Dakota were forced to the development of more horse power than has been reached by any other battleship afloat. A maximum of 35,150 horse power was recorded, while 33,875 horse power was the mean amount. The maximum number of revolutions of her nickel composition propellers was 286 a minute. It was found that 263 revolutions in that time were sufficient to maintain the contract speed of 21 knots. The North Dakota, by her performance today, takes precedence as a general first-class battleship. The figures recorded for the North Dakota today surpass those of any other dreadnaught. But one such battleship is afloat, the attainments of which may exceed those of the North Dakota. This is the Neptune, just launched from the British naval yard. The Neptune, however, will have to attain figures much in excess of specifications to accomplish this. The Bellerophon of the British navy has made but 22.1 knots. The tide was in her favor and this is not subtracted from the best figures. Office Center St Special attention given to Probate Matters ANAHEIM. CAL. H. V.
