ENGINEER MELVILLE HAS AT
LAST GAINED HIS POINT.
ERECT EXPERIMENTAL PLANT
Said That It Would Be of Great Value
to Manufacturing Interests as
Well as to Stimulate Inven-
tive Genius Of the Navy.
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, Jan. 11.--At the instance
Of the navy department, Senator Hale
has introduced a bill intended to carry
out a long cherished plan of the navy
engineers, especially of Engineer-in
Chief Melville, to provide the navy with
somewhat on the lines or the magnificent
German naval experimental plant at
Charlottenburg, which has been Of such
benefit to the German navy.
The bill provides an appropriation Of
100000 for the construction OF a build
ing at the naval academy at Annapolis
and Its equipment to deal with engineer
ing problems of value and interest to
the navy which cannot be properly left
to private enterprise to solve.
Much pressure has been brought to
bear on the navy department by the
great manufacturing interests through
out the country and also by the scientific
colleges and ship buildings to have the
navy undertake this important work.
Admiral Melville pointed out military
reasons that make il desirable that the
government should not b. obliged to rely
on outside experiments for this work.
Besides being a benefit to the navy
proper, the proposed plant, 1t is said
will be Of immense service in solving
problems of the greatest Importance to
manufacturing interests and in stinll-
lating the inventive genius Of the navy.

OF his company to sell It's property and
franchise to the United States. M. Jues
Bouefye OF the French embassy was
also present at the hearing.

doors. M. Lampre was questioned at
great length by members OF the COM

standing that the proposal to sell the
Penama property for $40, 900 included
both the franchises and the property OF
the Panama company, but not the money
in its treasury, OF which there is about
60,000,000 francs
M. Lampre was questioned especially
concerning the title of the present Pan
anna company, several members OF the
committee expressing doubt as to
whether those now claiming ownership
had secured unquestionable title.
He replied that they had made their
purchase through the liquidator Of the
old company, and that the transfer was
regular. In response to other ques-
tions he said that In case the transact
tion should be consummated the money
would be distributed among the mem
bers Of the original company, and those
of the present organization by arbitra-
tion.
He said the proffer has been made in
good faith and that the company was
able to deliver the goods.

THE WONDERS OF LIFE,

The house fly and bottle fly, the
bane of the housekeeper, are shortlived
at best. Many flies live but a day. The
excitement of escaping determination and
rearing the young round out an existence

citation of their short careers, has pro-
vided them with compound eyes, which
see about On all sides, a marvelously
acute scent and a wondrous facility of

When autumn comes, the death knen of
millions of flies has sounded. They make
no preparation for winter. The majority
die, and their insignificant bodies are
blown away by the passing breeze. A few
hardy survivors linger in cracks in the
walls, creep under the door frames or in
crevices in the wood work

81 Banking. 81
A NEW STYLE.

A NEW STYLE.
A man at Davenport, Iowa, has inau-
gurated a new style of banking, and it is
capable of expansion in several direc-
tons. The originator of the new banking
plan was inclined to surrender to his ap-
petite without offering a fight, and in his
day his habits were expensive and
brought on many headaches. The though.
struck him one day that it would be a
good plan to go into partnership with
himself. The idea was original and the
more he pondered over it the more he de-
cided to give it a fair trial
His plan of banking is this: When his
appetite asks for a drink, and he sue
ceeds in controlling it without buying the
drink, he transfers a dime to the pocket
he designates as his bank. He follows
the same business course toward cigars
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-02-02
A Chance
For All.

But when his appetite wins in contest
he makes the bank pay the bill. He has
tried it for several months and says the
growth in deposits is wonderful, and that
the result is surprising, and shows him
what he spent when he took no account
Of it.
But there are people who are not af-
flicted with the drink or smoking habits
who might go into the same style OF
banking with profit. Take, for example,
those who buy foolishly and needIessly
things they do not need. If every time
they are tempted to make such invest
ments they would transfer the price to
their bank pockets" they would save a
considerable sum. each year that could be
invested in something useful. This little
scheme Of the Davenporter is certainly
worth trying.
