Correspondence of The Providence Journal.
Next to bananas the most important product
OF Eastern Cuba is cOcoanuts. The trees grow

field is fringed with them. Fruiters buy tho
nuts at the rate Of IS the thousand. and they
are huiled on the island. ground in primitive
mills and pressed for oil. Or, correctly speak

ever successfully raised in Eastern Cuba-and

Some interesting experiments have recently
been conducted at the New-York Navy Yard
with view to ascertaining the practlcability
OF using the arc light under water for the ex-
animation of a vessels sides and interior.
Hitherto only the inCandescent light has been
SO employed with success. and the difference
In the brilliancy of these two types of lamp
In the open air is so obvious that no argument
IS needed - show the superiority of the former
over the latter for submarine work.
Two students Of electrical engineering at the
Sheffield Scientific School. Notwithstanding
T. Burdick and Francis G.. Hall. jr.-were en-
ployed by the United States Government early
last spring to conduct the electrical part OF the
task OF laying mines in certain harbors on the
Maine coast. At that time these young men
began to consider the feasibility Of using the
light in the manner and for the purpose
here suggested They conceived a scheme for
carrying the idea into execution. and then COM
municated with the Navy Department in regard
to it, Owing to the outbreak of the war moth
ing was done about thc matter at first, but

Uncle Sam. They did so at the New-York yard.
and their efforts have been crowned with graf
flying success.
The incandeScent lamp can be immersed IN
water safely. because the filament is inclosed
in an alright globe. The glowing thread of
carbon. protected from contact with a liquid
that would instantly reduce its temperature and
quench it's light. continues to shine under water.
But the light usually made Is not so
shielded. The carbon pencils that compose it
are generally placed that upon immersion
the water would instantly touch and cool them
Moreover. when the cartoons were wet the cur
rent would flow off into the water and not jump
the narrow gap al which the arc" is formed.
So that another obstacle to the operation OF
the lamp would be afforded.
The first great step toward the of this
powerful Illuminating agent under water, then,
was to put it into an alright globe. If one will

MIR. RUTH RETURNS.
What is Said About His Alleged
Shortage.

Mr.. Chas. H. Ruth, the contractor who
was alleged to have left the city with
money which had been given him to pay
the men employed by his firm, returned to-
day and says that he went to Baltimore to
arrange some financial matters and came
back at once to refute the charges against
him. Ruth was in partnership with Mr.. j.
Howard Evans of this city, and the firm
had been connected with the construction
of innumerable houses during the past few
years According to statements made, Mr..
Ruth Thursday last secured a sum Of
money in the firms name to be used in pay
ing off the laborerS and mechanics employ
ed under one of their contracts. Ruth was
intrusted to put the proper amount of
money in the different envelopes and these
when opened were found to contain much
less than was due the men.
The investigation that followed is said to
have disclosed the fact that Ruth had left
the city with the balance of the money.
The exact amount alleged to have been
taken away by him was $o17.75.
