Who Are They?
From the Natchez Bulletin.

From the NatcDeZ Bulletln.
During the past couple of days
there has been large party of engi-
neers in the city, but what road they
are representing their chief Engi-
neer Faust, cannot or will not say.
He says it might be the Rock Island,
the Frisco or any other old road, and
the other members of his party are
equally as reticent. From the
manner in which Mr.. Faust talked,
however, it appears probable that
the company that has employed him
to run the lines In and out of
Natchez have a pretty firm desire to
come into the city, and the chances
are they Will do so. The suppositlon
is that the engineers represent the
Frisco route, which concern is d.
rectfng itself towards the Gulf of
Mexico, and will make either
Mobile or Gulfport, in this state, it's
terminal. From conversations that
.havebeeu had the Bulletin is led to
believe there will be some definite
developments within the next sixty
days.

MRS. EDDY's GIFT.
Presents Scientists at Concord With
S12QQ00 for Church

$4,000 for Church.
Concord, n. H.. May Thru the
generous gift of the Rev. Mary Bake.
Eddy, the Christian Scientists of Con-
cord N. H, are to have one of the fin
est church structures in the granite
state. The plans for this edifice We're
presented at a largely attended church
meeting last night, and work will begin
on the new structure in the near fu-
tare. The gift of Mrs. Eddy includes
the desirable lot of land now occupied
by the Christian Science hall, in the
heart of the city, at the corner of State
and school streets, and is without
doubt one of the finest locations in
Concord for a church building.
The church will be built of Concord
granite as specified by Mrs. Eddy in
her original deed of trust, and first an
nounced in the Concord Monitor of
March 10, 1898. In response to an in
quiry from the editor of that paper,
Mrs. Eddy, made the following state
ment:
On January 81, 1898, gave a deed of
trust to three individuals which con-
veyed to them the sum of 100000 to be
in building granite
church edfice for the First Church of
Christ, Scientists, in this city.

The Worlds Fair Mule.

The extensive amount of grading
that has to be done to put the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition grouncs in
shape requires the use of hundreds of
teams of mules Some draw scrapers,
and others are ilarnessed to plows,
wagons and two-wheeled scrapers that
remind one of chariots. They are quar-
tered in large tents on the grounds,
very much as we see the circus horse
cared for. There is blacksmith shop
and quarters for the drivers, ard a
travelling kitchen, back of which is n
tent where the men eat, and hospital
tent where the veterinary looks after
the sick mules and horses belonging to
the outfit.
The characteristics of the mule are
far different from his parent, the horse.
The first sick mule saw was lying flat
on the ground, occasionally raising his:
head and giving low moan. 1 became
greatly alarmed and walked briskly- up
to the hospital tent, where / found the
veterinary. When 1 described the
mules serious condition, he smiled in
a. benevolent fashion and said the ami
NAL only had a sprained hook. A
mule is like niger" he said. He is
happy il he can lie down in the sun and
sleep. Now there is a difference be-
tween a horse and a mule. That horse.
out there has had a large nail removed
from his leg, which is more painful
than the mules sprained hook, but he i

of a days work look as if he had been

just what his drivers habits We're, then
he would wait for his opportunity, lift
his hind leg very deXterously, and kick

How to Burn Oil.

In the May number of 1.-The Engi-
neering Magazine" Professor Arthur l..
Williston presents some of the fruits
of experience with oil fuel in the Unit
ed. States. AT some future time the
means to consider the economic as
pect of the matter. Just now he con-
fines himself to the mechanism employ
ed. The fact is, even in such an appar-
entity simple operation as burning Pc
troleum under a steam boiler, many
points of much Importance can be de-
termined only after several years OF ac-
tual practice. Until recently a history
OF this sort was lacking in America.
The tests made in 1887 by the Penn
sylvania road showed the feasibility of
using liquid fuel on locomotives, but
the matter went no further Oil was
not adopted Another interesting ex-
pertinent was the operation of the big
steam plant at the worlds fair, in Chi
cage, ten years ago, by the same
agency. Yet the example thus set was
not followed extensively. Only after
petroleum was discovered in abundance
in California and Texas did the art of
burning it develop in this country to u
notable extent. In three or four short
years scores of steamers in American
waters and hundreds of locomotives
have been equipped with apparatus for
that purpose. At last, therefore, the
basis is afforded for profitable study.
Freedom from smoke and ashes has
long been recognized as among the adj
vantages of liquid fuel. So too, has
been the fact that it occupies only
about half as much space as the coal
needed degenerate the same amount of
heat. At sea, both in the merchant ma
rine and the navies of the world, this
is strong recommendation. More
room is thus left for freight which
helps to pay dividends; or, a double
supply having been taken aboard a
vessels range of activity is correspond
ingly extended. A merit with which
engineers are less familiar perhaps
and which will further commend petro-
leum to naval officers is mentioned by
Professor Williston. Fires can be fore
ed to a greater degree with oil than
with coal. The significance of that
possibility is seen at once when 1t is
remembered that in many crises dur
ing war much depends on a slight in
crease in warships steaming capa-
city, either for a short period, as dur
ing the chase after CerVefa's fleet at
Santiago, or long voyage like that of
the Oregon from the Pacific coast to
the West Indies. 1t is not to be Won

burning apparatus into the fire rooms
of the American navy.
No one suggestion has contributed
so much to the efficiency of liquid fuel
as the idea of atomizing it before try
ing to burn 1T. Whether the work should
be performed by means of compressed
air or steam, though, is a question up
on which experts differ If only Il
light pressure is adopted. air will prob
ably be the more economical, but Pro-
fessor Williston comedies that the adj
vantage disappears with high pres
sures. Still It appears that the pre-
valent notion about water vapor pos
sessing some fuel value of its own is
q fallacy. whereas air is essential to

can be gained moreover, by
raising the temperature of the oil be-

Fort Dodge, May &C. J. Srawford.
known as most stubborn opponent of
United States Gypsum company, and
c. G. Root of Chicago, credit man for
the Gypsum combination, became in
volved in alteration in the offices of
the Fort Dodge Plaster company, of
which Mr.. Crawford is a member, yes
terday afternoon. The controversy
finally terminated in. a fight in which
Mr. Root was struck several times over
the head with an umbrella carried by
Mr. Crawford.
Root was badly cut about the head
by the blows from the heavy end of the
umbrella and his wounds bled profuse-
ly, copiously sprinkling the floor of the
office where the two men We're at the
time.
Mr.. Crawford was arrested this af-
ternoon on an information charging as
sault and battery sworn out by Mr.
Root, and the hearing was being held
before Justice Mcgowan. Both sides
are represented by the best legal talent
in Fort Dodge.
The alteration occurred at meet
ing of the stockholders of the Fort
Dodge Plaster company, of which both
men are stockholders. The whole diff
ficulty arose over the attempt of Mr..
Crawford to enter room in which
Root was having a private conversa-
ton which Crawford claimed would be
detrimental to his interest as stock
holder.
Mr.. Crawford recently won a suit in
which he asked for an injunction to re-
strain the Fort Dodge Plaster company,
in which he is interested from selling
out to the United States Gypsum COM
pany. Since that time some bad feel
ing has existed between Mr.. Crawford
and the officials of the United States
Gypsum company.

Work of the Students at the Iowa State
Colleue.

Ames, May IA visit to the engine

twenty students busily employed in
making tests or working up the results
of the same. The course of study i'll
experimental engineering begins with
the junior year. in which the student
deyotes one afternoon to this work.
and continues thruout the senior year
at the rate of two afternoons per week.
In the beginning the various tests
are mainly for practice and familiarity
with the various instruments used later
in more extensive work. At this period
the student learns to calibrate the
steam pressure gauges, the steam en-
CINE indicator, the water meter, the
thermometer, the platform scales. etc,
and is required to make neat and ac-
curate REPORTS of his results.
In the next stage a study is made
of efficiency of simple machines. such
as the jack the different types
of tackle. water motors, etc., and the
results are compared With those of 9TH
ers which are on record.
The study of the steam engine is
begun by exercises in the setting of the
plain slide valve and the verifcation
of the results by the indicator card.
This is followed by the practice in adj
justing engine governors, for speed and
regulation. and finally complete tests
of steam engines are made to determine
capacity and economy. The same SER
les of exercises is carried out with the
Corliss engine, several high speed en-
gines and the compound engine.
