THE COMING LEVIATHANs.
Marine Achievements That Promise
Others Still More Wonderful.

The Forthcoming German steamer Kaiser
WIhelm H. the English steamer Cedric
at New London, Conn, are marine
achlevements of more than Individual or
nautical victories. They are triumphs of
inventive skill IN which all the world can
rejoice. 1t is difficult to forecast the
limits that may be reached in size aud
speed OIL ships, but, measured by past de-
velopments and by analogous perform
anceS ashore, 1t is not unreasonable to en-
pect within decade that even less than
HYe days may be achieved by ships con
structed for record breaking. The under
mechanical difficulties, for it must be re-
membered that the power required in
creases in the, ratio of the cube of the
speed, or, more plainly, to double the
speed demands eight times the original
power. But power means weight of ma
chinery and of fuel, and, as these affect
displacements, which in turn affect speed,
some IDEA may be gained of the formidable
proportions assumed by every attempt TO
increase speed and overcome resistance.
Still, the remarkable results achieved by
power in the prOpelling apparatus of
smaller craft furnishes data which are be-
ginning to influence all marine engineer
ing. Savings in weight, the sacrifice of
strength by the use of superior materials,
careful treatment of details and avoidance
of forms which are heavier but not
stronger, will assist in the solution OF the
problem Herein lies one of the keys to
the mystery, and here must be sought
the perfection which increases the work
done and reduces the almost prohibitive
cost of running express steamers
Modern designers are, however deft
workers of spells-ma gicians almost in
their achievements. Then, too, the past
lends encoura cement, for the level attained
has been through gradual process, not by
leaps and bounds. Slow and tentative
processes, allied with patient trial, have

WORLDS LUMBER KING.
T. B. Walker Has Largest Tract of
Timber Land on Globe.

Minneapolis, Dec 13.-T. B. Walker is
now the lumber king of the world.
He has purchased a tract of lumber
land in northeastern California, whic
in size dwarfs the holding of every in
dividual and syndicate in the world.
Mr. Walker has returned to Mime
aDolis from California. where he has
been for the past six months closing up
his timber purchases, which have oc-
cupied him for the past five years.
He is now credited by the coast lum-
Der Journals with being the owner of
the largest tract of timber land in the
world. 1t is situated in northeastern
California, and there is sufficient timber
standing to last for go years.
Mr.. Walker will soon start building
railroad that will be 200 miles long.
which will run through his timber tract
from one end to the other, passing
through several large towns.
Mills will be erected and started az
soon as possible and there will be suf-
ficient lumber to make the railroad pay
if there were no other products. The
country, however, supports large foclSs
of cattle and sheep. and in the valleys
there is large quantity of fruit grown.
Mr.. Walker owns all the valuable tim
Der land in this section of the state, and
is in a position to build his railroad and
keep all other lumber kings far in the
background. In the future he will de-
vote the greater part of his time to the
development of this vast timber area,
which is one of the most extensive in
the country.
In an interview last night Mr.. Walker
said:
II have at last completed the work I
started some four or five years ago, and
am now the owner of very large tract
of timber land in northeastern Califor
MIA. I intend to put in a railroad to
haul out the lumber and supply the
country, which is largely devoted to
grazing of cattle and sheep in the up
lands and to grain and fruit growing IN
the valleys.
The soil in that section of the state is
lava tooped-that is to say, ages ago
lava flowed down from the volcanoes,
filling up gullies and coating the ground.
During the ages that have elapsed since
that time this coating has disintegrated
and formed most fertile soil.
This condition prevails in the valleys,
but higher up there is nothing but inn
mense stretches of the finest timber in
the world. The land itself is good for
nothing but grazing, and thus presents
an entirely different condition from that
which prevails in this state
THE timber is sugar and white pine.
and is the best that grows in any spot
in the world. Sugar pine ranks all 9TH

SCHNETTLER GUILTY.
Another st. Louis Boodler Senten ced
For Four Years.

ST. Louis, Dec 13.-The jury has pro-
nounced John H. Schnettler guilty of
bribery, and fixed his punishment at
four years in the state penitentiary.
Only one ballot was taken to reach
the verdict. The jury was in delibera-
ton 40 minutes.
Schneider. who was in the corridor
while the jury was out, returned to the
court room when the return of the jur-
Ors was announced.
The defendant was extremely pale and
had the appearance of man who had
nerved himself to face a dreadful or
deal
His belief that verdict of guilty had
been found was written on his face He
is the only one of the men thus far tried
for perjury or bribery who has shown
such emotion.
Schneider took his seat in the prison
er's dock and sat perfectly still while
the jury read the verdict.
The jury was polled and the defend
ant remained seated while his counsel
was attending to his bond.
Tears came to the eyes of John H
Schneider when Circuit Attorney Folk,
during his argument for the state in the
bribery trial. vehemently denounced
Schneider and said that the defendant
had shown depravity instead of high
purpose and intent to fulfill the trust
given him by the people.
Schnettler is the first defendant in the
Doodle trials to show any emotion and
/
cool even, impudent composure of some
of the others. Schnettler's face first
grew red.
Occasionally he stole furtive chances
toward the jury, as if to gauge the eff
feet of the circuit attorneys speech.
Mr. Folk did not mince matters. He
referred to the testimony showing the
good character of the defendant and
said that all men had good characters
until they were found out
Once twice, thrice. four times and
more we have shown this defendants
guilt exclaimed the circuit attorney.
What more can be asked %
Schnettler drew his handkerchief from
his pocket and held it to his eyes. When
he removed it there were tears in them
and occasionally one trickled down his
cheeks.
During his address Circuit Attorney
Folk referred again to the salient points
in the Missouri Pacific, the lighting, the
Suburban deals.

IS AN INMATE NOW.
Sad Fate of a Man Once in
Charge of an Asylum.

New York, Dec. 13.-Once in charge of a
lunatic asylum and now an inmate of the
same institution, that is the way in which
a strange twist of the wheel of fate has
reversed the status of DR.. Lucius c. Adj
amson who was committed to the Belle
vue insane pavilion yesterday.
Six years ago DR.. Adamson in
charge of the Bellevue insane department.
Before that he had been resident ply
stefan at the Manhattan state hospital on
Wards island. Highly educated. the son
of a Georgia millionaire, he is believed
to have become insane from close study
of divers forms of mania-a form-the
physicians who have examined him say
of auo-hypnotism.
DR.. Adamson went abroad in 1896 and in
Paris investigated the belief of the So
called devil worshippers, cult that was
based on religious mania Then he went
to Egypt. to India, to China, pursuing his
researches into religious mania.
On his return to this country, Dr.. Ad-
amson took up his residence with J. J.
Mills, at No. 30 East Twenty second street,
where two weeks ago he announced that
Paris and that they were threatening him
with death by horrible psychological
torture. On this night the doctor fast
ened the door of his room with heavy
steel chains With the aid of police
man and axe, Mr. Mills broke in DR..
Adamson's door and found him sitting at
a table reading unconcernedly.
A friend, Richard Dumas King, per-
suaded DR.. Adamson to go with him to
the Fifth Aveue hotel, where he made
no disturbance until Sunday night. when
he dashed into the dining room and an
nounced that he was an intimate friend
of the Savior
He was taken to Bellevue for examina-
ton and yesterday committed to the in
sane asylum.

formed his wife of the trust imposed
on him by the man. and told her that
the box, which he placed in the safe.
contained $14,600. AS she thought of
the transaction, Mrs. Repple became
afraid that the men might come to the
saloon and rob them of the money. She
informed Sergeant Kennedy of the
transaction. He reported it to Lieuten-
ant Schwartz, who Immediately became
suspicious. The lieutenant detailed Spe-
cial officers Caudle and Sullivan on the
case, and they went to the saloon.
With Replies request the policemen
opened the box. 1t contained only the
black bag and a roll of paper wrapped
in a handkerchief. The confidence men
switched the handkerchief, taking the
one in which Repple had wrapped his
$500 and substituting the one containing
the paper.
The game was not a new one to the
police. Several years ago four men,
italians. worked the same scheme on
saloonkeeper named Hit. They were
arrested and sent to the penitentiary.
Repple says one of the two men who
robbed him was either a F'renchman or
an Italian.

IS ROBBED OF $500.
st. Louis SalOonkeeper the Vic
tim of Confidence Men.

St Louis, Dec. 13-Joseph Repple of
No. CLOS North Broadway, owner of the
Seven-Mile House at No. $3.50 North
Broadway, discovered last night that
he had been robbed of $500 by two con-
ddence men.
Repple told Detectives Caudle and
Sullivan of the Sixth district last night
that a man, evidently a foreigner, came
to his saloon and stated that he wished
to buy a saloon in that vicinity. Rep
pie told him that his friend, Dreller,
who keeps a saloon on North Broadway,
wanted to sell his place. and offered to
go with him to the saloon.
Together they went to see Dreller,
and the latter stated that as soon as he
heard from another man who had an
option on the place he would be ready
to talk business to them. AS they came
from the saloon Repple and his newly
found friend met another man. He APP
peared to be of unsound mind and en-
gagged in conversation with them From
his pocket he drew a black leather W0-
mans shopping bag From the open
ing, which closed with draw string,
protruded a. $40 bill.
The stranger stated that his father
died and left him $14, 900. He said he
had no confidence in banks. and was
looking for some responsible business
man who would keep the money for
him. The first stranger suggested that
Repple might keep the money. Repple
agreed, and when the second stranger
1nIlmdte0 Inat ne ola not KNOW whether
Repple was reliable or not, took him to
his saloon and produced his bank book,
showing that he had money on deposit
at the Bremen bank.
Then the first. stranger, acting as an
adviser suggested that Repple to show
that he was acting squarely, should
draw $500 from the bank and deposit it
with the $4,000. Repple agreed to this
proposition, and the three men went to
the Bremen bank and got the money.
The man who claimed he wanted to buy
saloon suggested that Repple pur-
chase a metal cash box in which to lock
the money. Repple purchased one for
so cents
Next he was asked to wrap the money
in a handkerchief supplied by one of
the men and place it in the bag in which
the second stranger claimed was his
$14, COO. He wrapped up the $500 and
handed it to one of the men.
The box was locked. and the stranger
took the key. The box was given to
Repple. and he was told to take it to his
saloon and place it in his safe. The
man who said he had the $14, 900 de-
parted, saying he would go to the Lin
dell hotel, where he was stopping, and
that he would call on Repple the next
day.

ers in size and quality. the trees are the
tallest and have the longest bodies.
These sugar pine trees run from four to
seven feet in diameter, and logs to the
number of seven can be cut from each
tree. The average is from eight to ten.
The white pine is of exceptionally
high quality. The trees are nearly as
large as the sugar pines, and in the
amount of clear timber almost equal
them. They are considerably more
profitable than are the pine found in
this state.
For the past five years I have been
gathering this timber together. I have
bought out those who settled there, and
picked up odds and ends of forest re
serves, and taken up all the other land,
so that there is no possible way for any
one to come in there against me- No
one can put in a railroad without my
consent. as I can build a road for
handling my timber and carry local
freight at rate that will necessarily
force any other road out of existence
