BEEF STEER AND HIS FATHER.

A French writer has said: If a boy has good mother it don't make much difference what his father is That this sentiment bears a kernel of truth every man will admit But it is also true that it is the personal contact, example and teachings, more than sanguinity that gives maternity it's potential influence. It is the law of nature that the male should bestow its dominant individuality upon it's progeny. This transmission of physi- cal constitution and mental dispO- sition through male descendants has been the basis for all breeding opera tions among lovers of animals ever since birds and beasts were first do- mesticated. So important has the study of procreating by individual se- lection become that it is today ac- knowledged one of the greatest of sci- ences, and has it's adherents in every quarter of the globe Perhaps in no instance has breeding reached a high CT development than among stock considerations.
 Every successful stock raiser should be breeder. Not that all can indulge their tastes for fancy stock that are bred more for beauty and markings than for actual utility, but as an ob- jective source of revenue to those who raise cattle for market a careful se- lection of males for herds will bring increased revenue to the producers There are many adherents to the worn out theory that any sort of animal will pay to fatten for market. Only those who have had experience know how absolutely false that theory is. In the first place an animal must pos sess finishing qualities, that is the capacity to fatten and accumulate meat In the old days of grass steers,

Prescott. Ariz.. May 5.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican. J. The northern metropolis of Arizona is certainly entitled to all the honors it is possible to bestow upon her. She did herself proud in her treatment of the brave boys from every section ot the territory, so that the many strang- CTS to this section must have departed with happy hearts. It was the or iginal purpose of giving a banquet, but the plan evolved into a subscrip- tion for laying in commissary stores. The baggage car was loaded with al- most everything needed until San An tonic should be reached.
 The day opened most inauspiciously but a change came when the battalion marched four abreast from Whipple Barracks to town, the Prescott band heading the procession. They were received with applause as they came down Gurley street, passed around the plaza and in entering the grounds facing the band stand where was sta tioned Governor McCord, Adjutant- General Lewis. Secretary Akers, Attor- ney-General Frazier, Captain Baldwin, ex-Attorney-General Wilson, United States Attorney Morrison, Judges Wells and Hawkins, Hon. T. G. Nor ris and J. c. Herndon, the members of the city council and others. Hon. Robert B. Morrison was master of ceremonies. MT. Morrison appreciated the situation and threw himself into the breach as a true and loyal Ameri- can citizen. His calls for cheers were opportune and hearty and continued responses followed. References to the Maine, the troops, the officers thereof and the speakers elicited pro- longed applause that echoed from Thumb butte and the surrounding hills.
 Every speech had the right ring and none was more patriotic than that de livered by Hon. J. F. Wilson, an ex- confederate soldier. It was a spon- taneous outburst of patriotic utter ances.
 Bob Brow wa sbusy with others in hanging the notices on the cars and was not there to respond when Bob Morrison stated that Brow had donated mountain lion as a mascot and which took position in the tri- umphal parade down Cortez street tc the depot. Joe Gales made a happy

Ex-County Recorder c. P. Cronin of Yuma county carried the beautiful silk flag donated by the Woman's Relief Corps of Phoe- nix, taking position between A troop and B troop, with two troopers as supporters.
 Along Cortez street the crowds fol- lowed the procession, a large assembly awaiting the arrival of the moving troops and escort. In the great crowd on the platform, wives, mothers, sis ters and sweethearts were in the ma- jority. Thoughtful cnes of the gentler sex remembered friends and relatives in the troop with bouquets of flowers, attached to which were flowing tri- colors. The procession reached the de- pot at o'clock and an hour was taken up in arranging details respect ing train and troops. A few minutes before z the men were ordered aboard, the southern troop occupying the front cars. There were tears and well wishes, but those who had close friends and kin in that crowd stood the trying ordeal of separation with remarkable fortitude. The train pulled out slowly at o'clock, the band playing meanwhile Dynamite explosions were sent off as the train disappeared from sight Conductor Bean had charge of the train ani En- gineer Gillis was at the throttle. sup ported in his duties by Fireman Lally General Freight and Passenger Agent George M.

MAKING BATTLESHIP MODELS.
How tests Are Mrde In the Man-of-war Tank.

Civil engineers all over the world have
been expectantly watching the com
pletion of the new marine testing tank
in the hydraulic laboratory in Cornell
university, because through it they ex-
pect to find out some Of the engineer
ing secrets which the United States and
other governments have been boarding
up for several years past
The various governments have been
carrying on a series of experiments on
war vessels in their model testing
tanks, and, it is said, much invaluable
data has been secured. But the infor-
nation so obtained has been zealously
guarded. If a new fact is discovered
II is put under the seal of the strong
box, and is not to be used except in
urgent need, as, for instance, in case
of war; each government thus expect
ing to be just so far ahead of its
neighbers at the critical moment This
is one reason why a war between the
United States and Spain is of such
interest to the naval engineers of neu-
tral nations. But this new tank at Cor

world at large TO be used for what it is

intricate machinery and experiments

rod leans forward and records the re-
sistance down below.
The general slope of the hulls of yes
sells is due to the theories of ship
builders, who have been heretofore
compelled TO prove the truth of their
assumptions by building large ships and
giving the matter commercial tests. one
builder tried to equip himself before
hand by arranging a small tank
! through which water was caused to run
very rapidly. In the tank he placed
the model of a vessel which was Sc
cured TO the upstream end of the tank
by a small spring dynamometer. The
rushing water caused the small boat to
pull hard on the recording instrument.
The builder Clipped away on the hull
of that model boat until he had re-
duced the strain in every possible way.
When ne had reduced it to minimum he
proceeded to build a full sized craft
ON the same lines which the model had
finally assumed. and the result really
justified his trouble, for the new vessel
was very fast.
MAKING a MANOR WAR MODEL.
The Cornell method of shaping and
testing models is a great improvement
on the above. The newly drawn lines"
of the proposed boat are laid down on
paper. which is secured in an espec-
iallS CONSTRUCTED apparatus made some
what like an elaborate pantograph. 4

near the shape Of the proposed model
as II IS possible to get il. This block
is placed on the bed of the model form
ing machine. The block moves forward
and backward under rapidly revolving
cutters The cutters are connected with
pointer. The designer moves the
pointer along the lines he has laid
down on his plain, and the cutters be-

and TO furnish matter which will enable
the practicing engineer to know what
will be the result of any use he may
make of the facts deduced from them.
II is not so much to design a propel-
Ter. for instance, but to furnish the data
which will enable the engineer to see
with some degree of assurance that, If
he adopts certain proportions, the re-
suit will be so and so. 1t is left to his
judgment. The government tanks and.
nearly all private tanks are for the
most part occupied with commercial
problems. They study problems, hav-
ing something TO do with certain imme-
date solutions for a. particular Snip,
particular propeller. etc. The informa-
ton gained at ali these tanks is locked
up, and the public never sees it. 1t is
for the benefit of government design,
and not for the advancement of general
engineering science. 1t costs large sums
of money for the solutions of these
problems, and even the private institu-
tions could not afford to Immediately
give forth the data for the benefit of
their rivals. Therefore, the private en-
gineer is often at a loss when confront
ed with any great problem, and hereto
fore he has had no one to turn to for
assistance denied to him by govern
ments that we hope to supply"
Doubtless many OF the problems al
luded to by Professor Durand have
been solved by the several governments
possessing experimental tanks. This is
quite within the limit of possibility;
but. whatever facts have been obtained,
probably will not be exploited until the
looked-for critical moment is at hand.
In fact, if all these secrets are really
as important as they are reported to
be. we may expect to see some vfnder
full accomplishments. alike by the war
ships and the merchant vessels of the
near future.
