UNCLE SANS BIG BILLS.
The Expenditures to Largely Exceed
the Receipts This Month.


Washington, July 4.-The treasury fig
ures for the next week or so will show a
large excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts, and treasury experts figure that
for the month the balance on the wrong
side of the ledger will aggregate from
$12, 600 900 to $4,000 900.
The excess at the beginning of this month,
which will show in the daily statement
tomorrow, is caused by the fact that
most of the large payments are made dur
ing the first few days. For instance, in
terest checks for $7.500,O00 issued during
the last days of June, very few of which
comparatively have yet been presented for
payment, have to be met and these will
be presented within the next few days.
Most of the quarters pension money
which will reach sl3,0O0,0 600, is usually paid
out during the first week or ten days of
the month. These two items alone will
aggregate more than $4,000, 900 and it will
not be surprising if by the 18th or 10th
of the month the treasury statement
should show the eXpeditures to exceed
the receipts by S17,000,O00 or ,000
This excess deficit will probably be cut
down during the last part of July to S12,-
Geo 900 or $4,000 eco.

A Negro Woman Who Has Walked From
Georgia to Montana.

From the Helena Independent
An aged colored woman, who has
walked all the way from Atlanta, Ca, to
Helena, and is now only on the first part
of the journey she has undertaken, ar
rived in this city three days ago, and is
being cared for by the family of James
Crump, 1908 Ninth avenue. Impelled
by strange fanaticism, she has begun
an earnest effort to do what she believes
to be the will of God. 1t was revealed
70 her IN vision, she says, and as soon
as she received the command she began
the journey. She has been on the way
since year ago last May, and she will
continue as long as she lasts, unless she
should have another vision in the mean
time, for she will not be able to accom-
plish what she has set out to do in her
lifetime.
Her name is Mary Childs, and she is
so years old, She is bright and intelli-
gent, and speaks with understanding on
many topics other than the mission she
has set out to perform. Her hair is
white, and she looks older than she is,
but she is robust enough to carry heavy
pack containing camping outfit, and
she has become Injured to the hardships
of the road.

TALKABoUT METALS AND MINERALS
Something About Their DiGerences-Ruat'
of the Former.

Something About Their DiGerences-RuatS
of the Former.
Professor Skidmore Of Philadelphia,
in a course Of laboratory lessons to su-
pervising principals and teachers Of the
Philadelphia public schools, took up the
subject of metals recently. In the course
of his lecture he made some interesting
remarks in regard to the distinction be-
tween minerals and metals. 1t is not
possible, he observed, to define exactly
what a metal is, yet there is little liza"
bility Of mistake i'll Distinguishing a
metal from a nonmetaL The metallic
properties of luster, tOughness, fusibili-
ty, Opaqueness, cOnductlvlty ana rust
may be possessed separately by ronmet-
ais, but they are not associated as they
are with metals Most metals may be
bent, twisted, drawn and hammered to
an extent far beyond what any mineral
not metal could endure.
Taking up the matter Of the rusts OF
different metals, he showed By 4 series
of interesting experiments that sodium,
potassium, l:thium and, in lesser de-
gree. Calcium, GtrO1tium and barium
rust instantly when exposed to moist
air. their white rusts quickly dissolv-
ing in water and forming alkalies 9th
er experiments demonstrated the fact
that another group of metals, i'll which
are zinc, lead, magnesium and antlmo-
nv, have white rusts which are not sol
uble in water. These rusts form thin
adherent coating, which only half con-
ceals the metal and gives to it dull,
furnished appearance. 1t was shown
that at higher temperatures than the
ordinary, and especially if the metals
are finely divided, the chemical energy
Of rusting is so great that the metals
burn with vivid light and emit a
dense white smoke. The permanency OF
these rusts and their protective charac
ter are utilized in white paints.
Professor Skidmore then directed at
tention to third group Of metals,
which includes those which have dark
or colored rusts, as with copper, iron
and silver. A series Of experiments fol-
lowed to show how these rusts were
formed, and the changes which iron I'M
dergoes in appearance in the tempering
process were carefully noted. Attention
was directed finally to the fourth group
of metals, which never rust. These are
gold and platinum, and it was noted
that they are also the metals which are
found as metals in the earth, and not
as ores from which the metal must be
manufactured. In the case of the other
metals, it is an advantage that they are
found in the rust or ore condition, as
thew can be manufactured much more
easily than they could be cut from
lodges of the pure metal-Iron Age.

Lessons FROM the Recent War.


To China and Japan, two nations
which have never been regarded by their
varmest admirers as being more than
barely within the extreme outer circle
Of civilization, has fallen the distinc-
ton of having engaged in the first ma
val battle with modern warships. Up
TO the time of the big struggle between
the two squadrons in the Yellow sea
the mammoth marine engines of de,
struction upon which the more impor-
tant governments have been expanding
millions of dollars each year for more
than a decade were mere mechanical
theories 1t was commended on the one
hand that heavily armored vessels with
a few guns firing enormous projectiles
would be practically invumerable An
other and not unimportant faction, al
though in the minority, asserted with
equal positiveness that a fleet Of this
description would be so badly crippled,
if not annihilated entirely, as to unfit it
for service by a large number of swift
cruisers equipped with rapid fire and
machine guns.
The advancers of the latter theory
would appear to be right, if the Yellow
sea engagement may be taken as cri
terion. The fast unarmored japanese
vessels, constantly darting hither and
thither, were seldom hit, while the
massive Chinese battleships, slow of
speed and difficult to handle, were pep
pered to such an extent that most of
them were rendered helpless, and, as is
generally known, were captured to be
used in strengthening the navy of the
mikado.
Another lesson which may be learned
from the recent naval battle is that nc
matter how powerful the ship the men
taity Of the commander is, after all, Of
the greatest Importance The quick
thinking, nervous Japs simply smoth-
cred the slow, stolid Chinese by the ra-
pidity Of their maneuvers and their sud
den changes of plans. The 'pigtail'
sailors and marines are said by those in
position to know to be naturally eff
cient, but their officers go into battle
with one scheme mapped out, which is
followed to the bitter end, without re-
gard to unlocked for complications
which may arise. The Japanese, how
ever, abandon one plan as soon as I'M
foreseen circumstances reveal another
which appears to hold out greater prom
Use Of success.
1t is fashionable in this country to
belittle our own navy, but in view OF
the lessons taught by the Yellow sea
fight we should probably be able to hold
our own in a marine struggle with any
nation in the world, inasmuch as our
vessels are about all of the type which
recent events have shown to be the most
valuable for actual service, while our
officers and sailors are conceded to have
no superiorg
