STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Will Have Some Important Cues
tons to Settle at Its Meeting
Next Monday.
Spe .ial to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, June 20-The selection of
a date for the state primary will be
the least subject of interest to be
brought before the democratic state
executive committee at it's meeting in
this city next Monday. The most i'm
portant problem will be the determiD-
ing of whether the primary shall be
open to all white registered democrats,
or whether those who participate shall
be qualified democratic electors, there
being considerable difference between
qualified democrat and registered
democrat, especially since so many
failed this year to pay their poll taxes.
The correctness of the opinion of
Attorney General Williams, made
public some time ago, touching the
qualifications for voting, will also be
brought before the committee.
A meeting of the committee is
rarely held that does not develop new
political antagonisms, and some fea
lures of this sort may be expected
from the meeting Dext Monday, es
pecially if fractional attempt to dom
mate the proceedings should make
itself apparent.

CONTRACTS AWARDED
For Work on the Delta Mississippi
Levees for 100000
Repairs.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, J une 20.-The Yazoo- Mis-
sissippi levee board has awarded con-
tracts for $200,00 worth of repair
work along its lines. The principal
piece of work will be at the Ward
Line Loop which is sixteen miles
long, and the board has decided to
throw the levee back to high ridge,
cut off the loop, and reduce the actual
frontage of the levee to three miles
This will leave large amount of
valuable farming land unprotected,
but it is made necessary on account
of the poor foundation of the sixteen
mile levee on which the government
has twice refused to assist in repair
work. The levee board meets again
on the 14th of July and will award
contracts amounting to about 800. 00C
including two new levees in Tu-
MICA county. The government will
spend $40, 200 in the upper district
this wear.

MACHINE TO BLOW GLASS.
One of the Most Marvellous Contriv-
ances in the World of Industry.


Glass has at last been successfully
blown by machinery and, as has gen
orally been the case when mechanical
means supersede hand methods, all
feats Of hand-bloWing have been out
done.
The secret Of the remarkable inven-
ton is still hidden, but specimens OF
tie work done have been shown. The
cylinders are Of immense size, the larg-
est being thirty inches in diameter and
nineteen feet long.
The new machine is the invention of
John A. Lubbers, a glassblower Of AL
legheny, Pa. It has been built at the
Alexandria, Ind, branch Of the Ameri-
can Window Glass Company's plant.
The process Of blowing window glass
is simple in theory, but difficult in
practice. On the end Of a long tube
mass Of molten glass is collected.
This is then heated in a furnace and
gradually distended by blowing into a
large tube with straight sides.
To accomplish this without the pecu-
liar twisting and manipulation employ
ed by the human glassblower has puz-
zled many clever inventors, and the
Lubbers ma chine was made successful
only after great many experiments.
Lubbers has invented several labor
saving devices and this latest triumph
is likely to make him many times a
millionaire when it is generally in
stalled.
Skilled mechanics from the Westing-
house factories in Pittsburg have been
working behind barred gates and high
walls for months in the erection and
installation Of the machines, which no
man other than old and skilled en-
ployes of the company was allowed to
see.
Patents have not yet been granted
on certain parts of the machines and
therefore the secrecy.
SO confident is the company Of the
merits Of the machine that it is pre-
pairing to spend thousands of dollars
in it's installation in all of the forty-
one plants controlled by it i'll various
parts of the country.
1t is expected that the device will
do away with hand blowers altogether.
So confident are the men that this will
be the case that many are getting out
of the business. The better class of
blowers earn from $3.50 to 5000 a
month.-New York World.

POWER OF OCEAN TIDES.
Bay of Fundy Presents an Interesting
Problem.

Tidal power has been utilized in
only a very small way; it's large use
has always been considered dubious.
In the first place, tides of a height
readily available are local in their
occurrence; and, second, tides are es-
sentially periodic, so that their direct
power is available only in two short
daily periods occurring in cyclic or.
der during each part of the twenty
four hours as the month is rounded
out Hence, the first problem of tide
utilization is storage of power.
1t is possible by the use of multiple
reservoirs to extend the use of the
tides throughout the twenty-four
hours. A three pond system accom-
plishes this end at considerable cost
in complication of waterways and va
riations in head, and even two pond
system helps to a steady use of tidal
power for part of the day. There
is, too, great variation in the rate Of
flow in the tides in different locali-
ties, the most favorable case being
that in which the tide rises and falls
most rapidly. But the main trouble
with the tides is that the total rise
is relatively small, compelling one to
deal with low, as well as variable
heads, and to provide enormous res
ervOirS to store even enough water
for use in two daily five hour runs.
In very few places would it be pos
sible to rely on more than six feet
mean working head.
This means that if the storage pond
were six feet deep, each square mile
of reservoir would store water for
5000 horse power for five hour run.
Even this is an unusually favorable
case, and it is evident at once that
hydraulic works on this scale imply
a very large investment for the power
obtained.
The only tidal powers to be taken
seriously as able to count in large
work are much as exist in exceptional
spots, like the Bay of Fundy, where
the tide runs forty feet high under
normal conditions. There it would
be possible to obtain for two five
hour runs more than $4,000 horse
power per square mile of reservoir.
A glance at map will show that the
inner extremity Of the Bay of Fundy
is almost a tidal lake, known as the
Basin of Minas. At it's outlet rise
two great headlands, less than three
miles apart, while tne narrower tide
race between them takes the full cur
rent for the basin within. This covers
an area of more than 400 square
miles, so that it is safe to say that
through that narrow gap more than
200,000,000 horse power hours run
daily to waste.
To utilize it would require an en-
cheering feat more tremendous than
anything yet attempted by man, but
in years to come the game may be
worth the candle.-Cassier's Maya
zine.

Good Supply.


During the early years Of his ca
reer as an evangelist the late d. L..
Moody was not quite the practical
man Of affairs which he became as he
grew older and his judgment ripened.
A characteristic incident of this Pc
Rod Of his life is vouched for by a
correspondent. He was holding Sc
ries Of meetings in a small town in
central Illinois, where, with his wife,
he enjoyed the hospitality Of prom
inent citizen. At dinner one day his
fancy was particularly taken with
some cucumber pickles.
II am very fond of pickles." he said,
"and these are certainly the finest
ever tasted. I wish 1 could get some
like them in our market at home"
II can give you all you want to take
home with you, Mr.. Moody" said his
generous hostess.
''But I don't want them as gift. I
would like to buy them
"Well, Of course, If you would rather
have them that way can pickle lot
OF them from our garden and the
neighbors', and my husband can send
them to you. What quantity would
you want?"
ST think barrel would be enough"
said Mr.. Moody, without a moments
hesitation. "Send me a barrel of
them"
But here his more practical wife in
terfered, and the order was cut down
to a small keg.
