Temperatures In Deep Wines.
Nondon Chronicle.)

In an interesting paper read by James
Stirling o n temperature in deep mines,
before the Australian Institute of Min
ing Engineers, some important obSer-
vations are recorded. both as regards
the temperature and composition of the
air, ana also the rock temperature at
different depths in the deep mines at
Bendigo. The temperature Of the air
was very variable in different parts of
the mines at the same depths. due. no
doubt, largely to air currents in the
mines. Different mines varied very
greatly. in one case al increase of one
degree f. being recorded for each depth
of thirty EIGHT feet down to 1,450 feet,
while in another case there was only
an increase of one degree for every 200
feet descended to $500 feet. AT a depth
OF $3.50 feet the temperature at Bendigo
was 81 degrees, f.; at Schladebach. at
a depth OF 5,626 feet, 1889 degrees F.
has been recorded, and at the Hecla
mine, at a depth of 1850 feet, the tenn
perature is only seventy-nine degrees
F.. The temperature of the rocks varied
considerably. but far less than the air.
and, as a mean of numerous expert
ments. it may be taken that the aver
age increase of temperature on Slur-
Ian ROCKS at Bendigo is II degree r
for every 1877 feet in depth. From analy-
ses made Of the air at different deOthz
and different parts of the mines. it was
found that carbonic acid varied from
0.35 per cent at 1910 feet deeD. to OH
per cent at 1900 feet; and as air suit
able for respiration should not contain
more than GOA per cent carbonic acid,
it will be seen how essential it is to
maintain efficient ventilation. and to
arrange that the men should only work
1or short periods in such atmoSpheres.

MORGAN AND THE CANAL.

Senator Morgan says that C. P.
Huntington is behind the opposition to
the Nicaraguan canal. He believes
thai all the transcontinental railroads
are fighting it.
But Senator Morgan does not credit
men who are opposed to a partnership
between the government and the Mari
time company with friendliness to the
canal. And there are men who have
spoken against the Morgan bill, who
viii vote against it when the oppor-
tunity is given, yet who are as much
in favor Of an isthmian canal as is
Senator Morgan, and far more favor
able to it than are some of the lobby
lists for the Maritime deal.
If Senator Morgan is sincerely advo-
eating an i~nter-ocean waterway with
out regard to the franchise or conces-
sion used, if he really wants a canal
constructed at the least possible out
lay and under the most advantageous
terms for the government. he will not
oppose n better measure offered as a
substitute for his bill.
William z. Curtis writes the Chicago
Record as follows in reference to the
canal project:
1T is becoming more and more APP
parent that congress will not consent
to any legislation that recognizes the
old Maritime Canal company, and viii
never agree to the payment of the
IS, 900, 900 which Senator Morgan pro-
vides to compensate its stockholders
for their good will and the money they
have invested in the enterprise. The
total amount of stock issued by the
Maritime company is $780, 600 par
value. and it is scattered in small lots
from Maine to California. the largest
stockholder being the Continental Ma
tional bank. which loaned the constitute
ton company $780, 900 and took 81, 500, 900
n stock at 10 cents on a dollar as col
lateral. The bank has offered this stock
to Mr.. Cragin's syndicate for $3.50, 600.
and whoever holds it will practically
control the company, because it is one
fourth of the entire amount outstand-
ing, n the balance is so scattered it
would be difficult to organize any
effective opposition"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-12-30

ing, perhaps, three per cent to the cost
of army maintenance, would increase
the efficiency of the force until the adj
ditional expense will be forgotten.
In a recent issue of the Army and
Navy Journal. than which there is no
better authority on army organization,
is the following:
Every one familiar with the facts
knows that our army is insufficinetly
differed. Few companies have more
than n officer with them, and cases
have been called to our attention of a
second lieutenant commanding a bat
terry, ever a battalion. One of the best
batteries in the army was recently I'M
der the command of a second lieuten-
ant, who entered the army from civil
life last spring"
These absences are caused by staff
and college details, special duty, de-
tached service. sick leave and the ordi-
nary casualties and excuses of the ser
vice.
There will, in all probability, be an
increase in the sick list under the new
conditions and the requirements of ex-
pansion, n there will be new and ex-
ira duties for many officers to perform
in carrying out the martha rule of the
distant and widely separated acquisi-
tons. Another commissioned officer
with each complete company, as well
as an increase in the number of com
panies, would seem advisable, as, at
present, to judge from the standards
elsewhere, the American army is under
differed.
The plan submitted by General Miles
is preferable to that of Chairman Hull,
as outlined in the bill he favors. The
latter provides for fewer companies
than are recommended by the general,
but larger ones-145 men in each. If
this be the basis of reorganization an
extra lieutenant to each company is a
positive necessity.
So far as the staff differences are
concerned, this is a matter of less gen
eral Importance than the formation of
the company which constitutes the
foundation of the army.
But there is a difference between the
two plans submitted. The Herald has
called attention to it before. 1t is an
opening in the Hull bill for jobbery
and favoritism, for political appoint
ments. The regular army should be
preserved from this. Congress will fail
of its duty if such a loophole is left in
the plan adopted for the reorganiza-
ton of the army.

CHURCHES.
Formerly Owned BY Spain, Now Be-

long to Uncle Sam.
Mew York Cor. Boston Herald.)
Our government is the owner of fifty
fine churches, and more than thirty
converts, parish houses and other
church buildings, according to Rev. w.
II. Sloan, who has just returned from
Puerto Rico, where he has been acting
as a pioneer for the American Baptist
Home Mission society. In the business
office of the secretary Of the interior of
the island he held an English service
in San Juan.
The secretary told me- he said to-
every kind on the island of Puerto
Rico was held in fee simple by the
Spanish government. He said the titles
were in his Office, and not in the hands
of the Roman Catholic church. With
the transfer of sovereignty from Spain
to the United States, the transfer of
title passed, and hence the United
States is the oWner of these buildings.
Holding these beyond dispute, he Of
fered me a church or two.
AT Mayaguez, not far from where
General Miles landed, there was build
ing 1t the time a very fine new church..
1t has a steel frame with spire COM
plete. With the news Of the landing of
the Americans arrived the workmen
laid down their tools, and those tools
were still scattered about the building
when 1 was there. Holding services in
the place, some of the people good-nat-
uredly told me [ might take the build
ing and finish it.
L notice that the military power in
the island has ordered the Roman
Catholic authorities to the issue
of pronunciamentos against Protest
onfc mr. or116 thic .ordlra yKHo G Dnt in
force while / was there. Before the
vicar of Ponce issued such warning
against me L had difficulty in getting
congregations. The first service | held
in San Juan L got a congregation by
going into the park, mounting a seat
and beginning to read the Scriptures.
In other places L had to take time to
advertise myself. Immediately the
people were forbidden to go to hear me.
L found myself known everywhere, and
the people hocked in great numbers to
hear me. Everybody welcomed me.
The editor of the paper which published
the wears order added, laconically, be-
low it: We are seeking the truth.
What is the truth?
81 do not attribute the great out
pouring of people to any ardent relig-
ious tendencies, but rather to their GU
riosity and their desire to honor an
American. The people are very CRATE
full to Americans. Their loyalty to us
is quite remarkable.
"As in most Spanish countries, the
women do practically all of the church
going to Catholic service. Frequently
had ten times larger congregations
than did the Catholic church in the
place. 1 preached in theatres for the
most part. Catholic conditions in
Puerto Rico are much better than in
Mexico, where / have fabored for
twelve years. 1 think there will not be
the slightest trouble about Protestants
getting a firm foothold in the island
within a very short time"
