Cumberland and First Presbyter-
ian Congregations Completed.

At joint meeting of all the officers
of both the Cumberland Presbyterian

adopted with much enthusiasm:
Believing that the federation of the
local Cumberland Presbyterian and the
First Presbyterian churches will pro-

more efficiently than does their pres

At these 20 water stations water
softeners have been erected at great
initial expense. The maintenance Of
these softeners requires the expendi-
tnre Of about SIT per day for chemi-
Gals and an additional charge of about
$5S per day for services of attendants,
making a total of $75 per day, or $27,-
| 375 per year. The cost Of construction
| Of these water softeners was not made
| public, but, If the cost Of mainte-
nance represents per cent on the in
vestment, the total amount expended
for water softeners is nearly 100000.
The same experience holds true of
other railroads. At 10 water stations
along the Union Pacific 2,79O pounds Of
solids are removed from the water
each day, almost as much as Is re-
moved from the water Of 20 stations
along the Santa Fe system, although,
at the 10 Union Pacific stations, they
use about so per cent more water than
at the Santa F'e stations.
The chemical survey of natural wa
ters which is being made by the dydro-
economic experts of the geological sur
vey is directed, in part, toward the To-
cation of available waters which may
be used for boiler purposes without
treatment. If, by extensive surveys,
such waters can be discovered and
their location made known, the saving
of tremendous amount of money will
be effected. In the case of railroads
the cost of such great losses, as above
mentioned, is due largely to lack of
information concerning the sources of
water suitable for boilers, and they
will become the greatest benehciaries
Of this phase of the work of the gov
ernment.

Mime. TslIka's Brother.

Constantine Stephanove, Yale, 80,
who paid his way through Yale by
running the night car on the local elec-
trio road, met his old Yale friends and
his former trolley chums in New Ha-
ven few nights ago as a representa-
tive of the Macedonian government,
sent to this country to arouse the SYM
pathies of the American people for his
prosecuted countrymen and women.
He called on President Hadley and
several of his old Yale professors.
When Stephanove left Yale he studied
a while in Germany and then went to
his home, from which he had been abb
sent for twelve years. He was soon af-
ter imprisoned and members Of his
family brutally treated. By the intiu-
ence of an American consul he was re"
leased and sent to the United States to
tell the State Department Of the Turk
ish atrocities in his land. He is the
brother Of Nine. Tsilka, who, with Ell
len Stone, was long held in captivity
by Turkish brigands. He says that

A Tin Weddinr

There are so many things about the
celebration of tin wedding that can
be made amusing that it Is rather a
mistake to take 1t too seriously. The
best plan is to bring in as many droll
features as the imagination will sup-
gest, without making the provocatlon
to amusement too much of an effort,
1t Is not feasible to have the invi-
tations sent out on sheets of tin. bnt
to the cards on which the Invitations
are written may be attached little
strips or tags of tin. The wording of
the Invitation may be as simple as one
chooses.
There cannot be very much done in
the line of tin decoration, although 7
have heard Of taking the sheets of tin
from which tinsmiths have slammed
patterns and utensils, and putting
these up as a background for flowers
The many bright, irregular points Of
the tin caught the light. and In the
openings were thrust punches of flow-
ers, ferns and greenery Of different
descriptions. The effect was odd, but
pleasing.
All, the flowers that are put about
the room should be in tin receptacles
Instead of in vases of glass or china,
The bouquet carried by the bride
should be placed in a tin funnel to
serve as a bouquet-holder. If this ia
decorated with ribbons 1t will be very
pretty. The brightness of new tin
will contribute to the gay effect and
be Of value wherever it is used.-Wom.

THE WIRELESS GUIDANCE OF
T0RPEDOES BIZ ELECTRIC WAVES

From the London Illustrated News.)
The Orling- Armstrong, torpedo is not
a projectile. 1t is just dropped or slipped
into the water, and Is then, without any
connecting wires, entirely subject to con-
troll, either from the bridge Of ship or
a room on shore. The first picture shows
Mr. Armstrong, the inventor, sending out
electric rays from a room on shore, to
control a torpedo out at sea. Within
the torpedo itself is the apparatus, SINH
lar to wireless telegraph instrument,
receiver and an arrangement called
transformer, which makes the fine i'm
pulses received act upon an arm, the
movement Of which causes the screws to
turn. Every quarter-turn of this arm
causes the screws to revolve differently,
and consequently makes the torpedo take
up a new position. OF course, 1t was
necessary to have some mark to show
the position Of the torpedo in the water.
A flag was used at first, but something
had to be devised which could not possi-
bly, be shot down by an enemy. One
night Mr.. Armstrong dreamed the way
to get over the diftlculty, and now there
is an air-pressure tank in the torpedo
which sucks in salt water and sends it
out again like the blow of whale. They
may fire at that forever without doing
any harm. The spray of water at the
same time serves as an indestructible
receiver for the electric waves. On en-
countering a warship the torpedo first
travels towards the netting which sur
rounds 1t as protection against torpe-
does Of all kinds. After it has struck
the net it goes back, as shown by dot
ted lines in the picture, sinks, as indicat-
ed by the said line, and then blows up

WATER FOR LOCOMOTIVES.

Roads Crossing Plains Guard A1ainst
Boiler Destroyers.
The annual expenditures of railroad
companies \, for purposes, concerning
which the public takes little thought,
are enormous, according to the Wash.
ington Star. One Of the items of large
expense is the softening of water used
In locomotives, experience having DEM
onstrated that it is cheaper to install
water softeners than supply these To-
comotives with raw water.
On the middle division of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe railway
system the sum of $27, ,375 is expended
annually for this purpose, the softener
being used at 20 water stations where
the water has been found unsuita BILE
for boiler purposes. The locomotives
passing these stations use, on an aver
age, about 100000 gallons of water
daily. The water from nearly all these
sources contains incrusttng constitu-
ents; that is, the sulphates and carbon
ates of lime and magnesium, and, In
many cases, corrosive substances, such
as chloride Of calcium and magnesium
are present in troublesome amounts.
The incrusting solids contained in
999, 600 gallons of water used each dav
in the year amount to over $500
pounds, or. in the course of a year,
nearly 800 tons. This amount of in
erusting material deposited in the boil
er would, in the first place, damage
the boiler plates and cause an enor-
nous increase in the consumption Of
coal. The removal of this scale would

Philippine. Need Railroads.

In his annual report. just published,
Secretary of War Taft says: THE
Philippine islands have now in opera
tion but 12O miles of railway. Their
superficial area is upward of 100000
cquare miles. Their population Is
nearly 100000. The railroad mile
age, when compared with that Of the
dependencies Of any other country in
the world, Is ridiculously small and is
a full explanation for the lack Of de-
velopment of the resources Of this
archipelago. 1t fully explains the fact
that there are to-day in the islands
twelve different languages spoken by
the 100000 civilized Christian Fill
plnos. and largely explains the ignor-
ance and state of pupIlage in which a
great majority of the people of the is
lands continue.
Charged as this government is with
the duty of elevating and educating
the people of these islands, there is no
higher obligation upon it than that Of
adopting such legislation as will at
tract to the islands the investment Of
large amounts of capital in the con.
struction Of steam railroads and other
means Of easy communication"
