BOAT EXCEEDS RATED SPEED
Torpedo Boat Destroyer McDOnOugh
Given Trial Tests and Beats
Record Planned for II.

BOSTON. Jan. 4.-After waiting for two
days for good weather. the torpedo boat
destroyer McDonough, built by the Fore
River Ship and Engine company of Quincy.
Mass, was successfully speeded over a
measured mile on Wood End, Provincetown.
today. II exceeded the contract require
ment OF twenty-elght knots, making one
leg at a rate Of 1856. The best two runs
over the mile averaged 2s.O2. which was
the speed which gained its acceptance by
the government board.
This trial was so encouraging that at
its conclusion II was decided to try another
government test. that OF an endurance run
of one hour al a continued speed Of twenty
six knots. This was attempted on the trip
back to Boston, across Cape Cod bay. but
after th~ree-quarters OF the time had been
consumed a valve blew out n the trial
was postponed until Tuesday.
The high speed trial was made under
somewhat adverse conditions, there being
a heavy cross-sea and considerable wind.
At its conclusion some Of the government
officials did not hesitate to say that had
the run been made under conditions usually
attending government trials the boat would
have gone well over twenty-nine knots.
For the first trial a mile stretch OF water
had been staked of by two buoys, Just OF
the shore between Wood End light and
Race Point. MeDonough steamed up the
course and, swinging around. came down
the stretch for the mark at a twenty-five
knot gait. 1t took it 2:Ss to cover the dis
tance between the buOys. A quick turn
was made, and back again over the course
in the opposite direction It came in 2:42,
the average Of the two being 22.6O knots

VIENNA, Jan. 4~-Reports have been re.

nected with the court of Saxony Of a pos
sible reconciliation between the crown
princess OF Saxony and her husband. The
family Of the prince are especially con-

tuition, which 1t lie supposed the princess
might attempt II the crown princess fam
lily attempted to claim the child.
The crown prince is reported as even
now unwilling to abandon the belief that
the unborn child may be his own. While
King George angrily insists that his sons
faithless wife be cast adrift. 1t is UNDER
stood that the crown prince places no OBJ
stacles in the way of a reconciliation
should his wife be willing to come back.
It is naturally to be understood. accord
ing to report, hat 1t is impossible to per-
NIT the princess to return to Saxony and
become queen, but the suggestion Is made
that she reside in retirement near the
frontier, where she could see her children
occasionally.

might be induced to accept the foregoing
proposals on account Of her love for her

Hopeful of Free Delivery.

Postmaster General Payne is confident
that free rural delivery will eventually pay
for itself. At the present time the cost Of
a restricted rural free delivery is about
100000 This is just the amount, in
round numbers. the postal receipts Of the
country were in 1862. When the entire
country is supplied with a rural free deliv-
cry the cost will be in round numbers $685.
900. 900, or $4,000. 900 more than the total re-
ceipts OF the postofice department as late
as 1872.
With the extension OF rural free delivery
to all parts of the United States II is hoped
that foreign postage will be reduced from 5
to 2 cents. The postmaster general be-
lieves such a reduction would increase the
postal receipts. The present cost OF send
ing foreign mail prevents anything like
active correspondence among poor people
who have relatives and friends on the other
side. and American business houses cannot
send their circulars abroad without a too
great expense. But the two directions in
which the postmaster general is moving will
inevitably result In a free delivery OF mail
Throughout the United States and the abiI-
ity to send letters to Europe as eheapIy
as they are now transmitted between states
OF the Union.

Mexican Bread Prices Rise.

MEXICO CITY, jan. 4.-The recent ad-
vance in the price of wheat has caused
bakers here to diminish the size of their
loaves, while still charging the same price,
and this has worked a hardship on the
poorer classes. The government is deter
mined that the wheat ring which has been
monopolizing the grain market shall be
dealt a severe blow. For this reason the
decree taking on the duties on wheat was
issued and the railroads have reduced rates
from the border.

NOW WE'LL ALL GROW BIG.
Chicago Professor Discovers . Food That
VIII Make Us All Giants.

CHICAGO, Sept 1.-THE age of the race Of
giants ia about to be ushered in again
Henceforth there will be no pigmies, for a
wonderful food substance has been dis
covered in Chicago that makes men and
animals grow fast and large.
The new food is lecithn. Its qualities
have just been demonstrated by a series
OF experiments by DR.. Shinkishi Hatai,
professor of neurology at the University of
Chicago. DR.. Hatai experimental with
white rats. and by feeding them lecithin
made them grow 90 per cent. faster than
they grow ordinarily This was under
conditions of atmosphere and general
surroundings that were unfavorable The
scientific men say that lecithin will have
a similar effect on human beings.
Iecithin, according to the definition
given by DR.. Hatai sis an organic, phos-
phorous-containing body found in eggs,
brain matter and the white corpuscles of
the blood
The professors experiments show that
the growth induced by lecithin is normal
and healthy. 1t stimulates all parts Of
the body exactly alike, thus acting unlike
other stimulants.
