The boy was a stalwart, finely

Street Car Improvement.

Two new ideas in street car construc-

are substitutes for the grab handles on
the side posts of open cars, consisting of
brackets which inclose the space be-

and an entranceguard which slides upon
the inside of the posts, and which when
not in use is held under the curtain

Cheap Coal.

In recent report by the American
consul at Vladivostok it is stated that
coal is mined In that district at cost
Of 2 cents ton. Until short time ago
the cost Of production was cents a
ton. In fixing wage rates for Amer
lean miners the coal barons invariably
make comparisons with the cost of pro-
duction: in other parts Of the world,
and this tends to keep the earnings Of
the American at the lowest possible
point. About the only influence in this
country which has combated the wage
reducing tendency Of the coal barons
has been the insistent and persistent
effort Of the Hearst papers, which are
under the direct editorial management:
Of William Randolph Hearst.
Attempts have been made to enforce
antitrust laws to loosen the grip Of the
coal operators upon American domestic
and industrial life, and the publicity
given the methods Of the greedy monop-
olists has been effective in mitigating
somewhat the unjust conditions.

TWO MILES A MINUTE
From the New York Sun:

from the New York Sun:
When one of the fast auto boats is
Of from 20 to rs miles an hour the pro-
peller wheel revolves from 500 to 1900
times in minute. When the number
of revolutions is stated one rarely COM
prehends what it means.
In a boat Of high power the propeller
will be rs inches in diameter. This
means that it's periphery is a little over
j feet.
If this screw revolves at the rate Of
1850 times a minute the outer edge of
the blades of the propeller are cutting
through the water at the rate of just
one and third miles a minute.
These propellers are not fiat. If they
were they would have no purchase on
( the water and the boat would not
move an inch. To give them a grip on
the water each blade is twisted slight
". like a SPIRAL and this twist in
creases the stretch of the blades be-
yond its circumference by about ia so
what marine engineers call the hell
cold path of the propeller would be
This remarkable speed is produced
by motor that is only Is inches wide,
40 inches long and II inches high. 1t
develops horse power of about IS.
The propellers which drive the fast
Atlantic liners are about 48 feet in cir
conference. The tip:of the blade will
cover about a mile and q fifth
each minute " Whep f '
The " cruiser minneapolis, wi,icbs Is
one of the fastest ina4tlle navy, has pro-
pellers As feet in circumference; They
make 1872 revolutions q minute, so that
the tip of the blade when driven at
full speed is travelling at rate of
$685. feet each minute, and the helic0id
path, or the distance covered by the
spiral twist OF the blade. Is $50 feet
a minute, or more than a. mile and q
half.
The Minneapolis and the ocean liners
are driven by steam, but in the fast
auto boats gasoline is the power.
It can be understood to what nice
ty the mechanism in a gasoline engine
is adjusted when it is stated that to
| make 1000 revolutions a minute means
that in a four cycle engine, there are
cylinder, 500 times the escape valve is
go gallons Of gasoline an hour, and, if
opened to let the gas out.
If there are four cylinders at work
| on the same shaft, and many Of the
fast boats have four cylinders, then
each operation is repeated four times.
Some motors have eight cylinders and
one is now being built that will have
IL cylinders. It is figured that motor
| uses a pint Of gasoline for each horse
! power an hour. An eight horsepower
motor will use gallon Of gasoline an
hour and will cost about 16 or II cents
an hour to run. A "a horsepower mo-
tor will take three gallons an hour,
which will make the cost about sc
cents an hour.
There is motor boat now being
| built that is to have a 500 horsepower
! motor. This motor will consume about
| so gallons Of gassoline an hour, and, if
run for. ten hours day, will cost
more than $50 a day.

paper, the San Francisco Examiner,
he made a gift to his son, William
Randolph Hearst, when the latter left
Harvard, and from that beginning the
system of Hearst newspapers, embrace
ing the continent, has grown. Father
and son worked together for the De-
mocracy. The boys achievements in
Journalism were the delight Of the
senator. He was proud of his son
and fond Of him as not many fathers
are. Their intimacy was close and
loving.
The son comes honestly by his De-
mocracy. Most men inherit their poll
tics as sort Of unthfnking party hab-
1t, but Senator Hearts Democracy was
q matter of living ideas and senti-
ments, which he transmitted by ex-
ample and instruction. He believed in
the people-not that they had any
magical way Of being always right,
but because he had seen no set Of men
who were so much wiser and better
than the majority that they should be
commissioned to rule.
"The people," the old senator would
say. "can make fools of themselves
sometimes, but they've got no monop-
oily on that weakness. If they don't
know what's best for them, they're a
good deal more likely to than others
whose interest it is to work them"
What he stood for, by instinct and
conviction, the newspapers Of his son,
whom he admired as much as he low
ed, stand for-g01ernment OF the peo-
pie by themselves, to the end that we
may have in this republic equality Of
rights and no privileged class.

ORIENTAL PROGRESS

From the washington Star:
IT'S not so very long ago
That old Japan, now grown so
shrewd,
Was counted rather dull and slow,
With manners quaint though never
rude.
The gentle Japs had never used
Calling gun to raise a row
With martial ardor all enthused-
But they, alas, are learning how.
No doubt all things to them will come
That come to countries civilized;
Like cigarettes and chewing gum
And patent foods we'll advertised:
They say that harsh profanity
Is to the Japs unknown just now,
He cannot swear; tits sad to see
This prospect of his learning how!
