The services of one of the most competent naval architects abroad have been secured for the instruc- tion of naval cadets selected for an advanced course in marine architec- ture, preparatory to their being as- signed to the naval construction corps. ‘This officer is a commander ir the Danish navy, and a graduate of the Royal School at Greenwich. He visited Washington and was in conference with Rear Admiral F. T. Bowles, and returned to the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology, where he will become head of the special course for cadets. His resig- nation from the Danish navy is ex pected to follow shortly, when he will become permanently a member of the institute’s staff. PEAS FOR POWDER. Results of Experiments With the Smokeless Explosive. The manufacturers of smokeless powder have been conducting rather elaborate experiments for the pur pose of finding the best material from which to make charcoal, which is one of the ingredients of the pow- der. After trying all kinds of wood, it was found that peas answered the purpose better than anything else which had been hit upon. Fine cedar, boxwood, maple and ash were tried among the others, but the burned peas made the best powder, the product being fine and light a=d of smooth, even quality. TO PREPARE GREAT EOOK. Prof. Jansen Will Compile Technical Dictionary. Prof. Hubert Jansen, of Germany, announces that he has engaged 4a0 English-Speaking, 96 French and 730 German so-workers for his projected “Technical Dictionary” to be printed in three langugages, English, German and French. The dictionary is to con- tain about 500,000 technical words and terms. Twenty-three English- speaking technical societies are lend- ing their aid to Jansen, who says the work will be epoch-making, Natural Gas in England. Natural gas, in which England was generally supposed to be deficient, has been discovered by Americans and put to practical purposes in the little village of Xeathfield, Sussex. The operations are in charge of an American engineer, who is said to be representing American capitalists. An extensive plant is now being erected, the railroad station and hotel are al- ready lighted by the local product, and the whole village will shortly be similarly illuminated. It is said that the Sussex gas is much richer in hydro-carbon than the American gas. His Price Was High. Andrew Carnegie is found of telling how the editor of a popular maga- zine ounce asked him for an article on “Organization in Business.” Mr. Carnegie feared the price would be too high. ,“Oh, no,” said the editor; “I am sure we could arrange that sat- isfactory. Name your figure.” “Well,” said Mr. Carnegie, “I could lardly afford to do it for less than $5,000,000. No. I must withdraw that. What I should put into it has cost me much more than that, and. of course, you would not expect me to sell it to you at less than cost.” Motors in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has a strong disposi tion to devote itself to practical mat- ters. An automobile line for the ben- efit of tourists is making regular trips across the island from San Juan to Ponce. A plan is under considera- tion to place powerful automobiles, drawing trailers, on the same road for freight purposes. Many fine roads are under construction in the island and the slow bull carts hitherto used to carry freight will soon disappear. To Discipline Roumania. The Rothschilds have entered into a combination with the Bleichroeders Oppenheimers and other Jewish finan- ciers to henceforth withhold credit from Roumania to punish her for driv- ing out the Jews. The kingdom, it is said, will soon be forced to issue a lean, but the preliminary action of these financiers has given it a black eye beforehand. A Prolific Tree.

What the National Government is Doing.’ N his latest report to the Depart- ment of Agriculture Martin Dodge, director of the office of Public Road Inquiries, makes the follow- ing remarks regarding the work of the office and its needs and plans for the future: ll ! “It is proper. just here to call atten- tion to a misconception which appears to exist in the minds of some to the ef- fect that increased appropriations for this werk may lead to national aid. It should be distinctly understood that the work of this office, like that of many other divisions of the department, is purely educational. “Scientific road building necessitates not only the consideration of local con- ditions, such as climate and soil, rain- fall and drainage, but also a study of available materials adjacent to the road. To transport materials a great distance adds so much to the cost as to render roads scientifically constructed of foreign materials impracticable. Competent road builders shduld dis- cover and test the available materials and show by practical object lessons how the most good can be made of them with the least possible expendi- ture of money and labor. The best ma- terials are not always discovered, and thousands of dollars are wasted in this country annually by the use of poor materials where a little expert study and advice would have developed good materials close at hand. The best methods of using these materials are oftentimes unknown, and money is wasted in their improper application. All these things require scientific study and investigation. The people of the country are now interested in this mat- ter as never before, and they are de- manding and are sorely in need of au- thentic information along these lines. Furtherfore, this is a work which the Government can do for them much bet- ter and more economically than they can-do for themselves. “After having considered all letters. requests and resolutions which have come to the department, and after con- sulting and corresponding with many of the most prominent farmers and road advocates throughout the country I have the honor to recommend that Congress be asked to increase the ap- propriation fer this office for the next fiscal year to $75,000. If this increase is granted, I would recommend that there be devoted, provisionally, to in- vestigations and educational work. $1000 in each of the States and Terri- tories, and that the balance be used in defraying the running expenses of this office and road material laboratory. ‘““The necessity of furthering the work of this laboratory is felt all over the country, and at least $10,000 is needed for carrying on this branch of the work for the next fiscal year. The small stim of $1500 heretofore allotted to each of the four divisions of the coun- try is not sufficient to pay the salary and expenses of competent persons. The department should be able to com- mand the entire time and attention of those representatives, but in order to do this at least $2500 should be set apart for each division. “Our small force has been so com- pletely cccupied with outside work that the preparation of didactic literature had to be neglected. This branch of the work should also receive more at- tention, especially the collection, illus- tration, printing and distribution of practical and scientific information. I trust, therefore, that you will find it within your power to secure at least $75,000 for the use of this office for the next fiscal year. “When the last report was submitted th/re was some doubt as to whether we could secure a sufficient number of trained men to carry on extensive in- vestigations in the various States, but during the last year the office has de- voted a great deal of attention and study to the selection of persons who are sufficiently skilled to inaugurate this work. It is gratifying to announce that we are now prepared greatly to extend the work of this office, and the appropriation above mentioned, if granted by Congress, will be expended judiciously and wisely.” An Important Question. There is plenty of labor in the coun- try to build and maintain good roads, if properly utilized. A few days’ work a year, under competent direction, sup- plemented by a reasontable tax on the property, would, in a few years, make a marvelous difference. It is not to be expected that all the counties can at once undertake macadam or stone roads; most of them cannot, except in the worst places, but a vast improve- ment may be made in the common dirt roads, and it is these which must be our first concern. This road question is the most impor- tant question now confronting the peo- ple of the State. The country people are vitally interested in it, not only from an economic, but from a social standpoint. The pleasure and advan- tages of country life would be so great- ly multiplied if neighbors had easy ac- cess over good roads to one another's houses, if the children could go to school, if all the people could go to We are not too poor to build geod roads. We are too poor to do without them and prosper. A tiger has been measured cigzhieen feet .trom end of nose to tip of tail. No lion of such a size has been killed.

Bountiful Harvests — Big Railway Earnings—Activity in Iron and Steel Assure Good Times. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Trade at the east is quiet, owing to the advancing season, and the bad effect of prolonged labor con- troversies is being felt in certain lines. Reports from the interior and the far west are more encouraging, bountiful harvests being expected, while the light stocks carried over from the previous season assure profitable prices. The best indication of continued prosperity is the fact that quotations .do not recede, even in the lines where at present there is cnly a moderate degree of activity. Railway earnings thus far reported for June increased 3.9 per cent over 1900. Uncertainty regarding their ability to secure pig iron at reasona- ble prices is making producers of steel cautious in accepting contracts that call for delivery at even remote dates. Raw material is undoubtedly in light supply, and the anthracite coal strike has suspended work at a number of furnaces. Coke production ls attaining new records each week in the endeavor to supply all require- ments, and better railway facilities are making unprecedented shipments from the Connellsville region. In cer- tain lines of finished steel products the addition of new plants to the pro- ductive capacity has had a percepti- ble influence on prices, introducing more competition. This factor is felt in only a few divisions, however, and in all heavy lines, notably rails and structural material, orders run far into next year. Quiet condition pre- vailed in Eastern ‘drygoods and foot- wear markets. A stronger silver mar- ket has revived purchases for export te China, although, like the home trade, this is still on a moderate scale. Shoe shops in New England have more orders, vet most factories only operate part time, and some are en- tirely idle. Leather is dull and for- eign dry goods weaker. Lack of rain in the southwest is the only ser- iously unfavorable crop indication of the weck, while exceptionally encour- aging reports are received from most points. Domestic grain makes good progress, but bad news has been re- ceived from abroad and the outlook is y favorable for large exports. Failures for the week numbered 194 in the United States, against 198 last year, and 19 in Canada, against 14 a year! ago. Bradstreets says: The scarcity of pig jron is causing a no ticeable stiffening in prices. Strue- tural material and bar iron are strong, but wire and sheets are drag rag- ging, and some tin plate mills will chut down shortly. An order for 28.- 000 tons of steel rails for South elivery this year has been of orders ahead pre- delivery.

Teese mmee. \ A MISS LIZZIE SNEATHING fers to Treat Women Free During the Summer Months. America is the land of nervous women. The great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffering from some form of female disease. By far the great- est number of female troubles are caused by catarrh. Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh de- spair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they accept it as almost inevitable. The greatest obsta- i cle in the way of recovery is that they do | not understand that it is catarrh which is i the source of their illness. In female com- plaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hun- dred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. The following letter was recently re- ceived: 186 W. 38th st., New York City. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O. Gentlemen: — “What bread and meat means to the hungry Peruna means to the sick.
