CONSUMPTION
is CONTAGIOUS

AL physicians admit that consumption is con-
tegfous.
AS the sputum dries. the bacilli, germ poison
which 1t contains, are thrown into the atmosphere
and as. laden with catarrhal discharges they are
breathed into weak lungs, these poisons take root
and consumption is developed. The only way to
prevent this disesse Is to breathe into the air
pipes, bronchial tubes, the vapors Of a healing
oil laden with serm-kiing remedy. No medicine
taken into the stomach has yet cured genuine
Consumption.
According to the last Worlds Consumption Con-
gress Of Physicians, which met In Londcn a year
ago last July, the only germ killing remedy that
has been actually successful the one discovered
by Prof. Koch of Berlin and manufactured under
tie supervision Of the German government aud is
called the ''Koch Tuberculine."
Although as an Injection 1t failed, 1t has been
wonderfully successful when given by the Koch
Inhalation process. This process was first intro.
duced into this country by Dr.. Edward KOCH after
whom the system was named, and fs administered
by the German American Koch Lung Cure Co, at
100 Eleventh Street, Washington.

testimonials and describing the treatmest.

DELAY ON WARSHIPS
PROGRESS ON NEW VESSELS UN-
SATISFACTORY.
Experimenting in the Model Basin
Work at the Navy Yard-New
Buildings Needed.

Progress upon new naval vessels under
construction during the past year has not
been satisfactory" says Chief Naval Com
structor Bowles in his annual report to the
Secretary of the Navy. All the larger YES
sells, he says, have been delayed by non
delivery of structural STEEL while the yes
sells building at San Francisco were set
back by the ten months strike, and the
holdout of the workmen at Seattle prevent
ed any actual progress on the structure OF
the hull of the battleship Nebraska building
there. The delay in the deliveries of armor
for the battleships Maine, Missouri and
Ohio and the monitors Arkansas, Florida,
Nevada and Wyoming has retarded the
completion Of those vessels. concurrently
with other causes. The inability of ship
builders to obtain sufficient force OF Skill
ed workers also has been, in many cases,
an important factor in the slow progress OF
the vessels. The battleship Ohio is shown
to have been twenty-nine months behind
her contract on the list of July. The battle
ship Missouri is over twenty months be-
hind, the majority of the battleships and
cruisers over ten months behind, ana
some of the torpedo craft are more than
forty months behind the date Of completion
stipulated in their contracts. Admiral
Bowles says the extensive delays on the tor
pedo boats are being terminated by the
newly modified conditions for their deliv-
cry. Inc CONTAGIOUS Oeldy III btSiilliliS
the construction of the vessels of the Nir-
ginia- Pennsylvania and ST. Louis class, the
chief constructor points out, gave his
bureau an opportunity to make careful
revision of the general plans of those war
vessels which. he says will result in con-
siderable Improvement in their military
value and in their Availability.
Constructor Bow1es points out that the
policy of Congress for some years past has
been against the construction of new vessels
In the navy yards. and as a result the de-
veopment and Improvement of the yards
in matters such as quay walls, slips loca-
ton of buildings etc, have not been gener-
ally directed toward efficient arrangement
for shipbuilding The admiral is of opinion
that it should be the policy of the Navy De-
partment so to arrange the navy yard
plants that they will be efficient for ship
building. which is in reality. he says, one
of the most important functions they may
be required to perform.

stove dealer ON 9Th avenue has in his VIA
dow a mound of small hollow round bricks,
which he advertSes to put into any coal
range and reduce the price OF cooking by gas
by at least one fourth, or to minimum OF
two cents an hour. These little bricks are
patented, and their composition IS secret
but it is said they are composed OF ASBESTOS
and a sandy substance. But With these
brick there must go q special gas burner,
and the brick and the burner cost from SO

dealer says, will last a year or more. IN

Work at the NAVY Yard

In a chapter in regard to the Washington
navy yard, Admiral Bowles says:
THE new Office and shop building COM
pleted in the spring Of 1901, has been occu-
pied by the department and the available
space assigned as follows: Shop wing. first
floor, model shop; second floor. machine and
joiner shops; third floor shop for small
models and storage spaces. Office wing,
first floor offices and freproof storage
vaults; second floor drawing room and fire.
proof storage vaults: third floor, blue print
ing. photographer and storage space All
or the shops. etc. have been in operation
in the new building since August /, 1901
THE foundation for the power plant of
the department has been completed and the
engines, generators and boilers erected
thereon.
The new Babcock & Wilcox boilers of
8o4 nominal horse power were put in oper-
alton about January 1. 1902. and have been
In continual use since that date. The new
21o-yoit generators and engine delivered to
the department in June Of last year has
been erected and placed in service.

From the New York Herald.
There are no doubt thousand men in

Puzzle for Apartment Houses,

But the fuel problem is not alone in the
poor mans home. Innumerable steam heat
ing apartments in the city are beginning
to grow cold and damp. The supply of hot
water Is being cut off, and with the first
cold snap will come intense suffering A
month ago the agents and owners of these
apartment houses Were saying hopefully:
Ihere Is no cause for concern If we fail
IN getting coal We will burn oil" Today
THESE same men tell you in despair: "Oil
for the furnace is absolutely ont of the
question. 1t Is impossible to get a burner
which will work"
The manager of one Of the largest fur
mace concerns in New York, sitting at his
deSk yesterday, said to a man who called to
ask ABOUT heating his apartment house: IF
you will lay down here on my desk a sug-
gestion by which we can make a practical
oil burner for our furnaces will write you
a check for $1,000 and give you, besides,
the finest furnace we can manufacture"
Then he explained that no one had vet been
able to construct furnace oil burner that
could be used. To begin with, the fire de-
partment and the insurance authorities pro-
hiblt the storing of more than five gallons
in any one building. That alone the man

Storage of Models.

THE need for a fireproof storage build
ing for the completed models of the expert
mental model basin, to which attention was
called in last years report. is now urgent,
the operations Of the model basin being
materially hampered for want of it. The
department has been obliged to vacate the
portion Of the old machine and joiner shops
which had been used for this purpose. and
the only available remaining space is the
west wing of the old ship house. This
structure is in very poor condition, and the
slowing of the few models which 1t will
accommodate in its present shape is attend
ed by excessive expense in the matter of
handling. During the last few months
models which had been made for private
shipbuilders at their own expense have
been destroyed or shipped to their owners.
and as many as possible of the depart
ments models which had been tested have
been destroyed. But even with the great
est care to avoid unnecessary accumulation
OF models and with the provisions of such
temporary additional storage facilities as
are practicable, the need for a suitable fire.
proof building for model storage will in
crease, and the operations of the model
basin will be more and more hampered for
the lack of 1t. L 1r'tlf

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. G..

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 23rd.
Mr. ED1ToR:-On The advice of Senator
Hanna, who is too astute politician not

party of the continued suppression of
facts and figures by the War Department,
Secretary Root has ma lie public the cost
of the Philippine war up to the first of
May. By the most conservative methods

$50. These figures, large as they are, do
not, however, tell the whole story Mr..
Root, of course, makes no mention Of the
$50 COO, coo originally paid t. Spain nor
has lie any way of figuring that portion "f
the cost which has been incurred by the
Navy Department and which is not small.
Last May, however, the Secretary of the
Navy threw some light on the situation
by sending to Congress a statement the
total of which aggregated, in round num-
bers, $20,000,00O. l. may, therefore, be
safely stated that the Philippine Islands
have cost this country, up to date, $2l0,
600 600, which would mean. exclusive of
the purshase price, an annual expenditure
of $50,000000 SO stupendous are these
figures that they convey hut little to the
mind Of the average man, but when it is
calculated that The islands have cost every
