.OREGON'S SEVERE TEST.
1t Was Given the Vessel on the Trip
From Monterey to San Francisco.

From Monterey to San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Ocr. 31.-On her
trial trip up from Monterey, the splen-
did battleship Oregon yesterday morn
ing experienced her severest test. After
leaving Monterey Thursday night a
stiff breeze sprung up and the swell
became quite heavy. causing the YES
sci to roll considerably. Captain
Howison remained on the bridge
throughout the night, anxiously
watching the ships behavior.
The man-of-war arrived off the
heads about o'clock yesterday
morning and beat about, waiting for
daylight When it came there was a
heavy swell on the bar and land fog
and the captain decided not to try to
go in on that account. She bore away
for brakes bay and about 8 o'clock
cast anchor pretty well in shore. The
Oregon was heeled over during the
night on her cruise up the coast to
from Is degrees port to u starboard.
The pendulum dial of the ship shows
only 30 degrees for rolling, beyond
which il is dangerous for the Oregon
to roll.
When the anchor was cast in brakes
bay. the ship got into the trough of
the sea, which was not more than a
healthy groundswell. The ship began to
roll more violently than ever. She starr
ed at about 10 degrees and in four or
five rolls she keeled over TO 30 degrees
What Captain Howison thought of
this state of affairs is shown by the
fact that he ordered the sncho- heav0d
again and turned about for the open
sea and Point Refs as quickly as he
could.
The sea was coming over the decks
fore and aft Whereas the bric-a-brac
in the staterooms had been picked up
several times during the night, it was
now turned into a heap on the decks
and bumped violently against the bulk

Those at breakfast were obliged to
cling to the chairs and tables. In the
ward and in the junior officers mess
tables and chairs skated over the floors
TO the Imminent injury of everyone
who attempted to hold or stay them.
lunch at noon was taken with the
rocks on the tables. The drawers of
the statercOms darted in and out of
their fittings during the morning
watches, and between and 10 O'Clock
two sailors were throw to the deck
and slid TO the sides. The men saved
themselves by catching the rails after
half their lengths were hanging over
the sea.
About o'clock the battleship
squared away for the Golden Gate. She
took the north channel under the tech
nical guidance of Chief Executive Off
GER Drake, who has surveyed the chan
mel. and dropped anchor at Sausal.to
at 4:25 in the afternoon. Her fires were
hauled and the Oregon will remain
there indefinitely, indulging in practice
drills. battalion drills and torpedo at
tacks at night before she is ready for

A representative of the United Asso-
ciated Presses has had an interview re-
gardng the wheat situation with Mr..
Seth Taylor, the largest miller in En-
gland, and the principal trader in Mark
Lane. Mr.. Taylor said:
Considering the condition of supplies
the rise in wheat is likely to be main
tanned. Business is knit with sentiment
which cannot be controlled in London.
1t follows, in my opinion, that fiuctua-
lions must continue until the nervous
ness arising from the american cleo
tons has subsidized. London dealers do
not rely upon any estimate of the re-
suit of the electoral struggle. They hold
that it is impossible TO foretell, and
that it is impossible to calculate inn
partially whose election will be of the
most benefit"
Summing up the position, Mr.. Taylor
said: Il know enough to know that
nobody knows anything about it."

SILK FROM WOOD.
The Latest Use To Which 1t IL
Found Wood Fiber May lie Put.

Answers.
one of the latest uses to which wood
fiber has been put is the manufacture
Of silk. 1t is reported that company
has been established at St Etienne,
France, to make exhaustive expert
ments for the manufacture of silk-or,
rather, substitute for that article
from wood fiber. The ChardCrner proc
ess of making silk from wood fiber
was invented q number of years ago
by gentleman of that name, and an
elaborate plant was established at
BesancOn, where some fine specimens
OF Wood-silk were made and exhibited
The only difficulty that confronted the
company was the impossibility Of
weaving the silk into large pieces. The
plant finally failed to prove success,
but the new company now formed has
obtained the exclusive rights of the
ChardOnner process, and intends to
overcome the obstacle.
The principle of making the new
substitute for silk is similar to that
of making paper out of wood pulp. The
wood is first ground and steamed and
chemically prepared, and then woven
into silk by a secret process.

THE BAKERS SECRET.
How Good Things Are SpoiIed-The
Mysterious Five Degrees of Heat.

lie
The average cooking school pays
more attention to explaining rules than
to method. The manner Of putting to-
gether ingredients is seldom explained
nor the exact method of baking, broil-
ing or boiling. Yet the last is essential,
as many receipts demand slow baking.
others a quick fire, and others a me-
dunn oven Any variation is fatal to
the success Of the rule, unless the cook
is already an expert baker and under
stands generally how to treat various
recipes. The simple directions to bake
ten, twenty" or forty minutes" as
the case may be, convey no definite
idea of the degree of heat required
When the novice in cooking has learn
ed to bake, boil, fry and broil scien-
tifically, she is able to use any cook
book and can easily excel, provided she
knows how to put the formula to-
gether.
There are countless intelligent house
keepers who have never mastered the
methods Of baking. They are uncer-
tain whether they will have good
luck with their bread or will turn it
out with charred crust or hopelessly
slack baked. The professional baker
has no such doubt. He must know
what will be the result of his baking.
The average novice has but one idea
of baking-a strong oven. Her sole ef-
fort seems to be to get the oven hot
enough. under the mistaken impression
that all baking requires is as strong a
heat as possible, so long as the article
is not burned. and that this is the pro-
per degree of heat for pastry, bread.

cooking utensils and we put on shelves
