Deterioration of Slowed Coal.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
The question of storing coal for fleets
has assumed such Importance that the ex-
perimentS made in England to overcome
the deterioration due to continual stowage
possess a definite interest. 1t is claimed
that coal kept in free air quickly loses be-
tween 10 and 20 per cent of its steaming
power. while coal deposited under water
in prepared basins suffers but little loss.
In the experiments undertaken at the sug-
gestion of the admiralty coal that had
been submerged from three to ten years
at the Alexandra docks, Newport and
other specimens that had drifted from
wrecks into the River Usk were sub
mitted to a comparative test with the best
fresh mined Monmouthshire coal. The re-
suit was that the Usk coal stood first and
the Alexandra dock second. both by sur
prising margin of superiority.
Our experience in the Philippines, where
the conditions are especially severe, does
not show the asserted deterioration of 10
per cent in twelve months, but there is
such sensible loss in efficiency that the
new idea seems worth a careful examina-
ton Submerged storage is cheap. and the
coal easily recovered when needed, can be
dried so speedily by exposure to the sun
that the danger of spontaneous combus-
ton in the bunkers is obviated Coal is a
prime essential of war power, and we must
rather extend than diminish our efforts to
store 1t.

Passing Of the Cavalry
From the Portland 0regonian.

from the fortiah0 ofegORan.
The statistics. of the medical and surgical
history of the, civil war show a very small
percentage Of saber wounds or of bavonet
wounds. which show that the infantry sell
dom came into contact close enough to ner-
NIT the use of the bayonet, and that when
the cavalry did come into close contact the
revolver rather than the saber was the
weapon on both sides. Europe, that refused
to be taught by the lesson of our civil war
that cavalry was obsolete; Europe. that per
sisted in charging as Murat charged in
fantry with cavalry. has at last been con.
verified by the Boert war to a clear under
standing, not only that cavalry must he re-
placed by mounted rifiemen. hut that
mounted rifemen must compose the larger

AS for the use Of automobiles. BICYCLES
and motorcycles In war to replace the use
of the horse, it may be practicable in a yery
old country like Europe but in a new conn
try like the United States there is a vast
deal of territory where neither the bicycle
nor the automobile could take the place of
the mounted man. There Is some territory
which a mounted man could not traverse as
swiftly and safely as man on foot but
over this territory a bicycle could not 60.
and there are good many bride paths
over which a bicycle or an automobile could

What did 1 say to the beautiful woman?
Words. words. words! But that she lis

AS she stood there in the black shadow

scandals are not permitted at this court
And then would have had to laugh in
their faces.

Wait for what?
That she shall stand again, motionless

DO WE EAT TOO MUCHP
Generally Acknowledged That the
Present Generation is Diverted.

From the New Yosk Herald
The question whether or not we eat too
much is jnst now agitating the scientific
world, and some direct and practical efforts
are being made to answer the query. Prof.
Crittenden of Yale hastaken the matter in
hand. and. with tie secretion and aid of the
War Department is about to institute some
food experiments on a select group of
sturdy soldiers. They are to be fed scien-
tificaly. and due note is to be taken of the
chemical constituents OF various ViandS and
their respective nutritive quality.
1t is quite likely that the minimum esti-
mate of quantity and quality of nutrient
material required will be surprising to most
people
This assumption is predicated on the gen
orally acknowledged fact that the present
generation is very much overfed We may
go even further by saying that the Ameri-
cans as Il class are notable examples of
this overindulgence Dyspepsia is a YER
liable American disease. due as much TO
the overlooking of the stomach with rich
food as to the hastY manner in which the
act is accomplished.
AS regards the actual nutrition to be
obtained. 1t is he old story of the choied
crate and the deficient draught. The APP
petite Is driven with loose rein and is
spurred by the multiplied trickeries of
fancy dishes. In the good old times when
food was plain and physical labor was the

stomach. save to fill it at the RICH time
The good doctor who advised the rich
dyspeptic to take only one meal a day and
FIRST earn it was perhaps an extremist but
for his particular patient he evidently had
the right view.
Another medical man has written a bool,

In attempting to prove that too much

Gold In Gregory County.

There is a report going the rounds Of
the press of the state that gold has been
found on the farm Of August Kilhn, q
miles south Of the town of Fairfax, in
Gregory county, South Dakota. The
vein is said to be solid quartz, about
seven inches in width, and was found at
depth of 43 feet below the surface of
the ground. 1t is reported that the rock
has been tested and found to yield at the
rate of $4,000 per ton in gold. Further
prospecting will be done and if found on
development to be bona fide vein and
permanent We will soon get further re-
port of the matter, as it is causing con.
siderable excitement in the neighbor-
hood and Kiphn has been offered $780,
900 for his farm. We hope for the sake
of the people of the locality that the
story is true, but we have known Of so
many places where gold has been dis
covered in the low lying lands of Iowa,
and again in Nebraska and other sec.
tions. All of which upon investigation
proved nothing but float or glacier de-
posit, that we have ceased to look for
veins of gold ore except in the noun
tains, and even then it is rarely found
so rich as to assay at the rate of 5000 to
the ton of ore.

Mining Items.

N. o. Ford Of the Grizzly Bear mine,
is waiting for the frost to get out of the
ground, when work will be commenced
on that old time rich producer.
F. G. Crocker, manager of the J. R.
mine, has obtained an option on the Fly
and Crown Point mines, belonging to
Jack Lyle and Chas. McEachron of Hill
City.
The shaft on the st. Elmo mine has
attained a depth of 200 feet. This is
too deep for convenient hosting with a
whim, and work has closed down until
a steam hoist can be installed.
T. Bowles and w. H. Walling, while
prospecting together discovered vein
of mineral which puzzled them a little.
Samples which they brought in proved
to be rich in wolfram, which is in good
demand at good price in the east as an
alloy in steel. How much gold it carries
has not yet been ascertained.
The placer miners who are working
the gulch the other side of the Old Bill
mine, which empties into Tenderfoot at
the old Junction town from late reports
are doing remarkably well. Mark Forap,
we understand, has quit quartz mining
for while and will try his luck in that
locality for season.. Good luck 10 you
Mark.
Supt. e. f. Mason, who has jurisdic
ton over the marble quarries, the litho-
graph stone and the mica mines belong
ing to the Porcelain Clay and Marble
company, is concentrating his work on
the mica more particularly at this time
of the year. He is working all the men
he can work to advantage, and is ready
to ship another car load of good mer-
chantable mica as soon as he gets tine
word from the company.
We learn that the Central Black Hills
Copper company have their building
complete, their machinery and tanks in
place, and everything in readiness to
start up and run continuously. That is,
they are already except the water sup.
ply, which has not apparently been
considered matter of any particular
Importance. We hope they will not be
put to any inconvenience on that score,
and that they will succeed to the extent
of their highest hopes, but we would
rather see the water running.
Herman Gaughenbaugh and w. J.
Francis, who have been prospecting for
placer, have found good diggings by
sinking pit to bed rock, on ground ad-
jacent to the Demereau Bar on French
creek. 1t is dry diggings, but close to
the creek and is reported to 60 from to
10 cents to the pan. Considering the
nearness TO water. and all the facilities
for sluicing, this is better than ordinary
wages. It takes back bone to get out in

Stratton, the lucky miner of Cripple
Creek, Colorado, who died some time
ago left fortune amounting to $l5,000,-
600. 1t seems that his family had all
gone back on him years ago, before he
came west and would have nothing to
do with him. Yet in the days of his
prosperity he did not forget them but to
his wife he gave $4,000, to his sister he
gave $25, 900, and to his son he bequeath-
ed $4,000. The bulk of his fortune,
however, he gave to the city of Colorado
Springs, for the purpose of erecting and
maintaining home for the poor, and to
al who we're by age or infrmities unable
to work. Recently the son brought suit
to break the will of his father on a score
of insanity, and secured the services of
the most eminent lawyers of Colorado.
The case has just been brought to close
by the decision of County Judge Orr,
who compromised with Young Stratton
by ordering that he be paid out Of his
fathers estate the sum OF S350,0OO. This
the young man has accepted and quit.

There was meeting Of the town board
held on the evening of the 9TH, to can
vass the matter Of extending the water
mains so as to accommodate larger
number of people. Nothing was done of
a definite character but it was voted that
all those citizens who desire the water
mains 80 extended shall get together and
formulate petition, setting forth what
they want. 1t will then be made appar-
ent whether there are enough applicants
to justify the town in ordering an ex-
tension. The board will meet again
next Monday night at the court house.
All interested are urged to attend.
