MINING DEPARTMENT
USES OF COMPRESSED AIR IN MINING
California Engineer Tells Why 1t Is Superior to
Electricity in Many Ways.

Use air i'll an ordinary dircct-acting
pump Is equivalent to throttling head
oil water to onc-fourth of its spouting
velocity to accommodate the speed of
n wrongly-gearcd water wheel.
Il fancy that most of the trouble on
the whole subject has arisen from n
misconccption of what compressed air
Is in Il power sense.
Many believe that the power of the
engine which congresses the air has
been stored in the compressed air, and
the more steam they give the engine
and the harder 1t worries and nurries
the more work the air shoiNd finally
yield up. They cannot understand that
II pound of compressed air at the same
temperature contains the same in
lrinsic energy. no matter what the
pressure is, and this is originally CON
tanned In the atmosphere before it is
compressed at all. This being the
case. no matter what power was eX-
pended to compress one pound of air to
say ninety pounds gauge pressure it
Will have Mt the same temperature but
one intrinsic potential stored within il.

the term applied to water: from it
comes the power. If by reason of n

Comment From Washington.

WASHINGTON, oct. S.-The state
department has not yet been officially
Informed Of the purpose of the Spanish
government to dissolve the cortes in
December. as indicated in the Madrid
cabegrams.
It was expected, however that &c
would be found necessary for the cab
met to go to the country in order TO
secure the, support OF majority for the
Liberal policy toward Cuba, inasmuch
as the present cortes has a clear Con-
servative majority whenever that
partys elements can be brought to-
gether.
Disappointment is felt at the remote
date set for the convening Of the new
cortes, for it is presumed that any new
programme for the settlement Of Cuban
affairs must be ratified by the cortes.
and II this Is not to meet until next
March, the long delay, it is feared, viii
give rise to irritation and perhaps be
beyond the power OF endurance Of the
present administration.
It is possible. however that prompt
declaration of policy toward Cuba,
couched in such terms and made public
in such fashion as TO bind the govern
ment beyond doubt, viii lessen the dan
gers Of delay.

PRAYING FOR RAIN.
Brought and Forest FIres Are Ravaginc
Arkansas.

LITTLE ROCK. Oct S.-Drought and
forest fires are doing great damage in
Arkansas, and the situation grows
worse daily. Thousands Of dollars
worth Of valuable timber and other
property has been burned, and stock in
nearly all sections of the state is suf-
fering from the scarcity Of water, while
in some places there is not even drink
ING water for the people.
No general rain has fallen FOR over so
days, and in some localities the drought
is OF even longer duration. the forests
being as dry as tinder and the ground
covered with dry leaves, and from all
sections reports Of disastrous fires are
being received.
Miles OF fences have been destroyed,
sawmills burned, cabins quilted, and In
some instances the flames have been
communicated to large fields Of open
cotton. which was destroyed.
In hundreds Of localities wells and
springs have entirely dried up, and resi-
dents are hauling water in barrels from
the nearest streams, while some sec
tions are 20 miles distant. Nearly all
late vegetables have been parched in
the fields. The people In many locali-
ties are holding meetings and praying
for rain.
