Harnessing the Ocean Wave: ]

E The problem of utilizing the force of ocean waves has been solved to ( certain extent by an invention of MT. N. O. Bond, of Fairfax Court House, Va, which is now in use at Ocean Grove, N. J. MT. Bond has mounted gates in such position out in the water that the wave coming in beats against them and skLts them. When the wave retires it opens the gate, to bang it shut again at the next advance. Connected w tn the gates are piston rods working the force pumps, and pipes connect the force pumps with tanks elevated to aheignt of forty feet. The device is a success. Not long ago 10000 gallons of sea water were pumped into the tanks for use in lay ing the dust of the streets. The au- thorities hold that the salt water is better than river water for laying dust. Mr. Bond is of opinion that by the use of big floats, instead Of gates he can get results six times as great But the pump operated by gateis prac- tical device which is destined, it ap- pears, to have wide use.

WoRKINGMEN, as rule, prefer trusts to starvation wages. There are many ways in which the people may be protected fromthe exactions of trusts, but low wages, which keep the workingman ground to the dust and prevent him from educating his children, are degrading to the nation. producing squalor, misery, ignorance and crime. Everybody feels the blight of low wages, but were it not for the newspapers, not one man in thousand would know that such thing as trust existed. It is the fierce competition among manufacturers that forces down wages, and when this is eliminated by a combination higher wages result.

AREZONA PARK.

A Chicago telegram states that Dr. Lester r. Ward, of the United States geological survey is there on his way to Arizona to secure opinions on the advisability of setting aside the petrifed forests of Arizona for a national park The petriied forests, or Chalcedony Park, is located in the northeastern part of Arizona, which covers an area of 10000 acres and consists of trunks and limbs of trees six feet and less in diameter, and when polished shows variety and beauty of colors unexcelled. Curiosity prospectors are destroying the huge petrifed logs by blasting them in search of crystals which are sometimes found in their centers.
 Speaking of the Arizona wonder the Star says: The park is annual ! ly visited by scientists and travellers from the different parts of the civi' lized world. Such an interesting natural phenomenon should be pro tected from destruction, that future generations may have an opportun ity of learning of one of natures rarest works. The 18th territoria legislature adopted memorial tc congress asking that Chalcedony Park be set aside and formed int park, under charge of the genera government, for the enjoyment ant education of the people, and thus preserve for future generations on' of natures mcstinteresting wonders This recommendation of the legisla
 ture no doubt is under considera- ton by the government

doned.

ON THE BROOKLYNS BRIDGE.
What Commodore SchIey Said While Ger
vera Was Trying to Escape.

vera Was Trying to Escape.
Washington. June PA dispute has
been going on for some time regarding
what Commodore Schley said while on
the bridge of the cruiser Brooklyn at a
critical stage of the fight against Ger
vera's squadron. The dispute has been
in the papers, the New York Sun de-
claring that Schley ordered the helm
hard a-port when such a course would
have endangered the Texas, and when
told exclaimed: Damn the Texas,
Let her look out for herself" The navy
department mas now taken a hand in
the trouble and obtained statements
from Lieutenant Hodgson and Lieuten-
ant Commander Heilner as to whether
such words were uttered, and as to
what was really said.
Hodgson says that he heard Schley
order the helm "hard-aporti" that he
(Hodgson) suggested to Schley that the
Texas was very close and there was
danger of the Brooklyn running into
her: that Schley said "AlI right; the
Texas must look out for that" or words
to that effect; that later Schley asked
him for denial of the New York Suns
story and he sent him denial of The
Suns version, but not denial that such
a colloQuy took place.
Heilner's statement is that Hodgson
told him repeatedly during a discussion
as to the location of the ships during
the fight of July 8, 1898, that he CHodg-
SOM had suggested to Schley that he
meant starbOard, not port. but that
Schley had declared he meant port
We are close enough to them 1.-THE
Spaniardsl now" also that when Hodg-
son spoke of the Texas danger Schley
sand: Damn the Texas. Let her look
out for herself"
And so the controversy stands at
present.
