It is suggested that it will be, profit
able to try the experiment of using gas
engines for driving ships, the gas be-
ing generated on the vessel itself. Coal
will be roasted in retorts aboard the
ship in order to drive off the gas for
the engines. The coke thus produced,
says the Electrical World, would fur
nish the fuel needed to roast the coal.
The purpose of the experiment which
is to take place is to ascertain whether
the saving of weight of the gas produc-
ing plant and gas consuming engines
over the ordinary plant Of steam boil
ers and engines, and the saving Of
space, are sufficient to warrant the
adoption of a new system.

NOTHING OFFICIAL FROM
turkey Regarding the Deal With
ShipbuiIder Cramp.
NO MATTER, MONEY COMES.

Washington, Dec. 3.-No proposition
has come to the United States govern
ment from Turkey looking to the pay
ment of the missionary claims under
the guise of an order for the warship
to be built in the United States While
it hardly expected that any formal
proposition of this kind would be forth
coming, it is, of course, beyond the
power Of the state department to pre-
vent or interfere with any arrange
ment that the Turkish government
may enter into with American ship
builders and individual claimants The
point is, after all, to have the claims
paid and the state department officials
are not very particular as to the form
in which the payments are paid. Per
haps they are Indifferent in this res
pect because of knowledge of the fact
that the Turkish government might be
terribly embarrassed by the pressure
Of European creditors were the United
States government to insist upon Ger
tain forms of procedure in this case
There are no developments in the
negotiations respecting the exequatur
OF DIR. Norton, who would be United
States consul at Harpoot. The matter
is still one of correspondence, and the
authorities here are confident that the
Turkish government will, in the end,
yield on this point.

HosO TO Build Good Roads.

The way to build good roads is to
build them. We have been discussing
plans and methods for a hundred
years. The problem doomed large be-
fore the fathers of the republic. In
1906, when the first steps were taken
for the construction of the old national
road from Cumberland westward, good
wagon roads were to the country then
what railroads are to the country now.
There was necessity for a road be-
tween the East and the West, and it
was built. The government and the
people were interested and the ques-
ton was grappled with in the right
way. The National road in Maryland,
Ohio and Indiana remains to this day
one of the best roads in any of the
states named. The beginning, there
fore, was good one. The method has
not been greatly improved since. The
success in that one case was in the
spirit in which the work was planned
and the thoroughness with which the
plans were carried out.
