For PreservIng Our ships.

George II. Eldridge is on his way to the
Gilsonite lands of Utah to investigate for
the navy department. If his report is fav-
orable it will mean that Uncle Sam will
float a navy that will hold the seas for
years without docking and will therefore
be the most menacing in the world. Ex-
periments with mineral substance from the
Utah mineral lands leads the navy depart
ment to believe that If the bottom of ship
is coated with it, it will withstand the at
tack Of submarine animals which bore into
the steel and which costs the nations of the
world millions of dollars. Not only this,
but it will be impossible for fungi to gather
on the bottom of the ships, fouling them,
and will render docking unnecessary, ex-
cept in the event of an accident.

Tesla's Greatest Discovery.

Nicola Tesla announced Tuesday the
completion of his latest discovery-the sim
Infamous transmission of messages by
means of the earth's electrical currents to
as many scattered points on the surface of
the globe as may be desired. This he re-
CARDS as by far his greatest achievement.
He will follow his usual custom, and lay
his information before the world of science
in his own words, and accompanied by his
own computations and conclusions. To a
few intimates he gave thrilling demon
stration of the operation of his device for
arresting and subjecting TO control, under
natural laws, the electrical substances in

device or discovery is to produce such a
disturbance of the electricity of the earth
which can be felt and noted simultane ously

The aggregate harvest of both spring
and winter wheat, as indicated by the
latest crop reports, approximates $50, O00,-
600 bushels, which is in the neghborhood
of 145, 100000 bushels more than were
harvested last year. With the exceptions
of Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, the
quality of winter wheat is fine, standing,
for the whole crop, at 92.l per cent. Ad-
vices from foreign countries indicate quite
a shortage, and it is probable that our big
crop will be needed, probably at higher
prices, to supply the deficiency.

Several Killed by an Explosion In Il
Chicago Grain Elevator.

Four lives were lost in an explosion
which took place last evening during a fire
in the Northwestern grain elevator at Chi
cage. Three of the dead are fremen, and
one person was blown into the Chicago
river. Either the bursting of boiler or
the explosion of mill dust caused the awful
havoc. The origin of the blaze is believed
to have been in the boiler house. Accu-
mulated dust, as dry and infammable as
gunpowder, that had been piling up for
years aided the blaze. 1t spread with great
rapidity and then came a terrific explosion,
completing the work of scattering the fire
throughout the entire structure.

formed of gold lace, pearls and rhine
stones, and outlining the long pointed
waist is a gi-die of gold tiligree, studded
with red, yellow and green stones.
The gold crown is exquisite in design
and proves a most becoming adjunct TO
the gorgeous costume. With this gown
the queen will wear an heirloom in the
form of a gold necklace, dating back to
the time of Mary Queen OF Scots. The
