Fort de France, May 10 (dealyed).-
The expedition sent to recover
the bodies of the American and
British consuls at st. Pierre today,
nearly resulted in fearful horror. The
vessels taking part in the expedition
were the United States steamer Poto-
mac and the British cruiser Indcfati-
gable. The Potomac, under command
of Lieutenant Benjamin NJ. Mccormick,
arrived there first at II u. IN. and
landed working parties. One party
went to the site of the American con-
sulate, and the other, headed by Lieu
tenant Mccormick, went to the north
ern end of the town, to the spot where
the British consulate stood and from
there the lieutenant could see Mont Pc
lee. He noticed a huge column of
smoke and gas issuing out of the crater,
in manner similar to the eruption OF

the site of the American consulate and
ordered all hands to the boats The
American sailors picked UP the heavy,
metallic coffin in q wood case. contain

imminent danger.
Ir the meanwhile the Indefatigable
had arrived off ST. Pierre, but left the
shore, heading for sea, blowing her
siren. At the time huge stream of
molten matter was pouring into the
sea, raising columns of steam. The
whole sea was hideous having turned a
yellow green color, while what was ap-
parently smoke was rushing from the
mountain, whose detonations contin-
ued, accompanied by storm of light

were OF terrific violence during the
storm and new craters were opened in

that it could be torn down and rebuilt
without 1ncurring any serious waste of
money. The expenditure has gone just
where the institute authorities believe
it will do the most good; not into
massive masonry, but into electrical
equipment and perfect accommoda-
ton of students. Some of the Ger
man universities are already hamper
ed by buildings too well built archi-
tecturally to be economically remodel
ed to accommodate some of the more
modern laboratory machinery. Nor is
it difficult to recall, even in this coun-
try, many instances where education
al institutions are cut off from half
their usefulness by heavy investments
in buildings made almost obsolete by
unforeseen modern requirements, but
which cannot be destroyed without de-
cided qualmS Of the financial con-
science. In building its new labora-
tory, in a word, the institute has COM
bined not only the past Of the Ger
man institutions and the present of
the American industrial plant, but the
problematical future that may de-
mand an arrangement quite unfore-
seen and difficult from anything now
in existence.

rooms, grouped in a single large
building, covering some 10000 square
feet of land and one story in height,
are so lighted by seventy Skylights
that each has the steady, well diffus-
ed light of an artists studio. The
architecture of the building as q whole
except for the picturesque effect of it's
community of searchlight, is quite as
simple and practical as that of the
actual workshops which have afford
ed so many suggestions for it's inter-
ior arrangements.
The power room is naturally the
heart of the laboratory. Here at one
end of hall something over 500 feet
in length, are the six permanent dyna-
mos, their accompanying engines ag-
gregating over 1000 horse power, which
will furnish current for light motive
power, and experimental service. These
permanent dynamos have their own,
place at the far end of the power room
where the song of the piston" still
waiting to be translated into English,
will not disturb the routine of expert
mental work to which the rest Of the
room is devoted. The actual expert
mental work-that is to say, the test
ing of all kinds of electrical appara-
tus in all their infinite multiplicity of
detail-will be conducted by means of
a large number of smaller dynamos
which a ten-ton overhead crane, run
ming from one end of the hall to, the
other, will carry back and forth as
different experiments may call for
them.
But what is the actual meaning Of
the experiments to be conducted in
this enormous laboratory? What, in
short, is meant by testing" electri-
cal apparatus? For answer imagine
say, that you have a coal pile which
is to be transformed into the familiar
light of an electric lamp. Your coal is
used primarily to run a boiler which
converts into steam about 20 per cent
of the energy Of the original coal. An
engine then hands on some IL per cent
of this 70 per cent of coal energy to
a dynamo; the dynamo turns about 90
per cent of this IL per cent into cleo
trical energy; and only about 80 per
cent of the original 70 is finally de-
livered to the customer. And of this
the arc or incandescent lamp converts
only some or per cent into light.
There must be waste all along the
line, but if at any stage a greater per-
centage of energy can be handed on
to the next stage for the same quality
of coal. There is but one way to gain
this economy-namely, to study every
step of the process, to investigate
every bit of machinery, in short to test
constantly every bit OF mechanism in
Volved from the beginning of the OPP
Grafton to the end. There is no mod
ern scheme of electrical transportation,
heating, or illuminating into which
this testing does not enter, and the
fact, indeed, is equally true of the
countless processes by which electri-
city enters into the making of various

the meaning of Milwaukee, or Mlloki,
as it was written in the early days.
To the pioneer remembering his first
view of the country where Milwaukee
now stands, .land of the hazel BUSH
will seem specially appropriate.
A number of meanings have been
given for Oconomowoc. School chill
dren were told in the early days that
Oconomowoc lake was the Lake of the
Rising Sum- others have been told
that it was the "Home of the Winds"
Home of the Beaver" Home of Beau
tiful Waters" A trader who had spent
many years among the Chippewas and
had become perfectly familiar with
their language, on hearing the word
for the first time translated it as fol-
lows: Ocono, small place-not much
room. Mo, narroW-Wanting more
room. Mowoc, a narrow road or trail
around corral, between the inner and
outer walls, a narrow walk between
rows of corn or trees or bodies of wa
ter. In letter from Peter Vieau to
Edwin Hurlbut, of Oconomowoc, he
says the name now so written would
never have been given by an Indian;
the first part of the word means Civ
ers" and the last crying" The name
originally was Okoneemeewing and
meant "the gathering and fall of beau
tiful waters into lake" There Is
a tradition that some old chief killed
a raccoon in that part OF the country
and that he said to his pale-face friend,

Great Lecture Room.
Quite as interesting in many ways
as the power room is the great lecture
room of the new building. An amphi-
theater seating 800 students, it is con-
nected with the adjoining power room
and main laboratory by a system of
double tracks, already spoken of,
which run like a narrow-g uage rail-
road across the lecture platform. In
stead of trains running upon these
tracks there will be moving tables for
the arrangement of apparatus used
in illustrating the lectures. The tables,
seven or eight in number, in order
that the apparatus of several lectures
may be in process of preparation
while that of single one is being ex-,
hibited, are ten by fifteen feet in di-
mansions and give ample space for
practically any modern system of light
or power transmission to be set up in
miniature. In one of the regular in
Stitute lectures the subject of trans
mission of power is illustrated by a
reproduction of the system employed
in lighting five neighbering cities from
central power house. The illustra-
ton reduces everything to scale, in
which the students may watch the
dynamo of the central station gener-
ating the current and sending it along
to the different cities Such an object
lesson is necessarily complicated, re-
curing the services OF three men dur
ing several hours to set up and five
men three-quarterS of an hour to
take to pieces. AS conducted in the
past the process has naturally some
what interfered with other lectures.
In the new hall, however, the Illus
tration, miniature telegraph poles and
all, can be prepared outside the hall,
moved in by machinery when it is
needed, and out again after the lee
ture is over without at all interrupts
ire the lectures that precede and fol-
low.
The Standardizing Room.
What will probably interest most
persons more than the power room or
| the lecture room, however, is the

the precision of instruments and the
method of measuring. them. The Unit
ed States, -curiously enough in view

WHISKEY men ALARMED
OVER THE NEW DISCOVERY OF
WFiISkEY TABLETS.
Have They Found Way of Extracting
OIL Out of Corn or Rye, or do They
Use Other Ingredients? That Is
the Secret of the Whiskey
Tablet Co,

Drop a tablet In aquart of water, and
you have a quart of fine liquor. Such is
the discovery recently made by them.
They also claim with the use of Whskey
Tablets you can make almost any kind of
whiskey, or brandy. and it has baffied
some of the best experts to tell the differ
ence between 1t and the genuine article;
in fact they claim 1t Is far superior to
the pure distilled article, and less inju-
rious, and there is no law against the use
of Whiskey Tablets. In fact, it has been
tested by some of the best and Oldest
whiskey dealers In the country, and they
acknowledge that not one man in hun
dred could tell the difference between it
and the genuine article without making
a thorough examination, and still the in
gradients of Whiskey Tablets are claimed
to be a pure and wholesome food, and
will stimulate and brace you up when
your system Is run down, and removes
that tired feeling. Will make you feel
cheerful, and warm you up in cold
weather, and still never leave any bad
after effects. 1t looks as though 1t would
revolutionize the Whiskey Business, as
there is no question but that whiskey
made with the use Of Whislxey Tablets is
far less injurious than pure straight
whiskey, and still it has the same effect,
because it has the strength and flavor
to the palate, and that is about all that
one uses swhisliey for. Anyone sending
