sink to such depths of degradation as
to hold up one man is more than THE

lowing from the Democrat-Warrioro of
Chandler is doubtless too true: Just
after the arrival of the mail at Cush-
ing the other evening and the town
full of people the gang held up the
store of Mr.. Hail. one of the leading
merchants. There were about twenty
men in the store at the time and al
though there were probably several in
the gang, only two of the robbers
showed their hand. One held the en-
tire crowd in check while the other
forced Mr.. Hall to open his safe from
which they secured about S1e5, after
which they retreated and made good
their escape Mr. Hall was cool and
while turning over the money request
ed the robbers not to get foolish and
shoot anybody. While in the store
neither of the men looked behind them
and from this it Is inferred they were
for aid, in case it was need
cd, upon other parties in the room or
near the doors.

NAVAL COURSE AT CORNELL.
Branch of Education Inaugurated In
Imitation of European Powers.


One of our great universities has
taken a step in the right direction
to foster the maritime growth of thu
country by opening a school of naval
architecture and marine engineering.
Cornell university has inaugurated q
school of this kind. AS the only
school of naval architecture in the
Western hemisphere this new de-
parture of Cornell merits description.
The leading powers of Europe nave
long had such schools. France has
one at Paris called the government
school of naval architecture. Italy
has one at Genoa.
"How long does il take 10 COM
plete the course?" inquired q writer
for the Washington Star.
1.-The course occupies two years.
was the reply, "but it is so arranged
as to require three years prepare
tion in good technical school before
entering upon it. 1t is intended that
students of Cornell who have reached
their senior year in the course in
mechanical engineering may then
take up this course for their fourth
college year and finish it in one year

course, admitted under the same con-
dition. One OF the most interesting
courses in the first years study is
that of naval architecture. which is
intended as a general introduction to
the subject of marine construction.
1t opens with general examination
of the ship as floating body, and is
followed by course of lectures on
ship Resistance Propulsion and
Powering,' Wave Motion and the
Oscillation of Ships The first years
course in shipbuilding and design is
also an interesting one. In it atten-
tion is given to the best practical
construction in the actual materials
of the ship, which has up to this
time been treated by the student as a
geumetrical body The subject is
treated from descriptive standpoint
and various systems of shipbuilding
and their peculiar points are studied.
Then, passing to details, we cover
the most modern practice in the in
Vulnerable details of ship construc-
tion and fitting"

also, in the first year, do you not'"

pecial attention to the peculiar con-

In the second year the course in
naval architecture is much more ad-
vanced, and is based on the more
general course of the preceding
year We take up several topics,
and study them in greater detail
The work in this case consists prin-
cipally of lectures, partly of dire ted
courses of reading and partly of per-
sonal studies on the part OF the sta
dent under my direction. The sec
ond years courses in ship design and
marine machinery are combinations
of those Of the first year.

Diamond Crystal Salt Has Scored An
other Victory.

other victory.
A large consumer of butter salt who
had always used certain salt which
had borne high reputation for many
years, was induced to try Diamond
Crystal with a view of using same if
found more satisfactory. His expert
ments were begun in January and con-
tinued until the following September
during which time he used about
10000 lbs. of Diamond Crystal salt.
The first point he wished to settle was
whether the butter would be any bet
ter and whether the salt would hold
the butter as long. After careful tests
for eight months these points were de-
cided in favor of Diamond Crystal.
Another question still in doubt was
whether the butter would weigh as
much after being sailed with Diamond
Crystal as when sailed with the other
salt, which did not dissolve so per-
fectly. One of the principal arguments
used by the advocates of the other salt
was that it had make-weight properties,
which were so great that if any other
salt were furnished without cost it
would still be great gain to use the
salt in question, even at the very high
price for which it was sold. This test
was made in the following way, viz,
129 lbs. of unworked butter were put
on the worker, and to this was added
lbs. of Diamond Crystal salt. After
being worked ga minutes it weighed
1903 lbs. Then the same amount of
butter was treated in the same man
ner and the other salt in question
used. This lot weighed 1872 lbs, the
difference in favor of Diamond Crystal
being 4 lbs. The gain shown by this
test-14 lbs.-for every lbs. of salt
used would equal 35 lbs for every 224
Id. sack, which if figured at 90 cents
per Id. would be 81. Besides this, the
butter when finished ready for the tub
was smooth and free from grit, while
the other was in the usual gritty con-
dition when that salt is used. 1t is
needless to say that the party was
ready for Diamond Crystal, and an
order for a car load was Immediately
sentin.
What dealer in butter is there who
will not say-all other things being
equal-that butter free from grit is
worth l cent per 10. more than butter
that contains grit, or rather, undis-
solved salt? PA lbs. of salt will salt
1854 lbs. of butter; then if you gain l
cent per 10. on the value of the butter
it would mean a gain of S35. S4 on every
224 lbs. of salt used. Then if you add
the other gain in weight it would be
S42.s4. This theory may not hold good,
but it is precisely the argument used
for many years past by the representa-
tives of the salt with which the above
test was made.
