Sunday afternoon there was an an
archist picnic at Liberty Park, Ridge
wood, L. l. A man known as Repro
went to it. He had been under su
picion for some time. He was lured
into the bushes, overpowered, gagged,
and searched. A letter from the 1tal.
ian consulate at New York and bank
notes to the amount Of 500 were found
in one Of bis pockets. He was ad'
judged on the spot traitor and spy.
A fire was built; a steel instrument OF
some sort was heated; big IT" was
burned into the back Of Reppo's right
hand. The New York Herald tells
the story, and the surprising thing
about it is that there are civilized and
to be influential public men
in America who will support these lu-
natics in their deviltry, all through a
mistaken idea that the patronage 20
gained will be Of pecuniary advantage
to them.

OIL FOR MARINE USES.

In spite OF the experiments and dis
serta'ions upon the relative values of
coal and oil as fuel, comparative tests
are constantly made, says the Scientific
american. The subject is so fascinat.
ing to engineers that they will not
abandon it. A Dutch torpedo boat
constructed by Yarrow & Co. was re-
Gently fitted up to burn both coal and
oil as fuel, the latter being merely
supplementary, to be used only when
high speed is needed for short time.
The oil tank was carried on deck, so
that in case OF being struck during an
engagement the oil would be dis
charged overheard instead of in the
hold; steam was used to spray the oil
through the burners, the loss of fresh
water through this cause being slight,
owing to the short time it was used.
During the coal trial the boiler pres
sure was $50 pounds per square inch,
with one inch water pressure, the en-
gines making $50 revolutions per min.
ute; the speed of the vessel was 24J
knots. Oil was then admitted into
tho boiler furnaces, coal still being
burned at the same rate as before,
with the result Of increasing the pres.
sure to $50 pounds, revelations to 3G5
per minute, and the speed to 264 knots
per hour. The coal burned was at the
rate OF $500 pounds per hour, and oil
at TOO pounds per hour. A great ad.
vantage Of this combined use of coal
and oil is that the speed can be in
creased at once by the admission OF
oil, SO that dirty fires are no bar to
pursuit of an enemy on sight. Then,
again, the most exacIing and prostrat-
ing labor aboard of all sea.going steam
vessels will be supplemented by me-
chanical and partly automatic means
for supplying fuel to the boilers. The
insufferable heat in the depths of the
hold cannot be imagined by those who
have never penetrated those internal
regions. Very few stokers can stand
the heat for more than a minute or
two without rushing to the current of
air continually forced to their relief
by the ventilating tubes, with their fac
ing above deck, the draft produced by
the onward progress of the vessel
This will, OF itself, prove an inestima-
blee boon when reservoirs of crude
heat-producing oil supplant the coal
bunkers which now crowd the hold OF
ocean steamers.

There have been only two instances
in the navy where officers of high
rank were court-martialed, charged
with cowardice. The first was that of
Capt. James Barron, whose ship, the
Chesapeake, was captured March 16,
1907, by the British frigate Leopard.
Barron was charged with cowardice,
found guilty, and sentenced to sus.
pension for five years. Upon his re.
turn to the navy after the war Of 1872,
he sought reinstatement to active duty,
but was opposed by Commodore De-
catur. The quarrel between the two
eliminated in duel March %, 1920,
in which Decatur was killed and Bar
ron severely wounded. Capt. Barron
remained in the navy. but was never
given = ship. The second case was
that of Commodore T. Craven, who
on March "a, 1865, while commanding
the United States ship Niagara, lying
in the bay of Corana. Spain, failed to
accept the challenge OF the Confeder.
ate ironclad Stonewall on the ground
that the odds were too largely In favor
OF the enemy. A courtmartial de-
clared him practically guilty as
charged, and sentenced him to sus.
pension from duty on leave pay for
two years. Secretary Gideon Welles
wrote letter stingingly rebuking the
members of the court-martial, and
wound up by setting the proceedings
aside and relieving Commodore Gray
en- from arrest, the sentence being
deemed entirely inadequate as q pun
ishment for an oHense for which the
articles OF the navy may impose the
penalty OF death.

Shamrock Is DANGEROUS.

It is evident that Sir Thomas Lip.
tons challenging yacht Shamrock ii
is very dangerous boat. In her trial
spins since arriving in this country
she has demonstrated that she is q far
better boat than Shamrock I, and to
all appearances superior to Columbia.
On the other hand the new defender
Constitution has disappointed expec.
tation. In light winds and smooth
sea she appears to do somewhat better
than Columbia, but the latter has
frequently beaten the Constitution
and is regarded as superior in a stiff
breeze. The most that can be said oil
the new defender is that she is not
enough better than Columbia to in
spire confidence, and many good
yachtmen incline to the belief that il
would be safer to rely on the old
yacht rather than on the new. Blu,
all are agreed that Upton will come
nearer getting that cup than any
challenger ever did before.

The United States Patent Office,
according to scientific journal, has
allowed letters patent for a process
for removing the spines from the
prickly pear, so as to render it avail
able as fodder. The cactus known as
the prickly pear has been shown by
the Department of Agriculture to be
very useful forage plant, barring the
spines with which it is covered. The
patented process provides for burning
the spines off with some vaporized
fuel. 1t is stated that in South
Africa, prickly pear can be made
perfectly harmless by passing the
leaves through the flame OF a fire and
thus prepared, cattle and sheep can
do we'll on them. South Australia,
on the other hand, remarks a New
South Wales journal, provides most
practicable means OF rendering the
spines OF prickly pear innocuous.
