DR.. DUDLEY LECTURES
ON APPLIED CHEMISTRY
Tells Cosmos Club Members of His In
teresting Work for Pennsylvania
Railway Company.

Many interesting facts concerning the
secrets Of chemistry as applied to rail-
roads were discussed by DR.. Charles E.
Dudley. chief chemist OF the PennsyI.
vania Railroad system. in lecture be-
fore the Chemical Society OF Washing
ton last night The title of his lee
ture was. The Work of a Chemist on a
Great Railroad"
The lecture took place at the Cosmos
Club. and a large number OF scientific
people were present. DR.. Dudley made a
number of tests in the course of his
lecture of railroad supply samples. He
said that in the course OF a year the
purchasing agent of the Pennsylvania
spends from $4,000. 900 TO $40, 100000 for
different articles needed by the system,
and. he continued samples Of every
article bought must be tested by the
chemist. This IS done to see whether
the articles come up TO the standard
OF the specifications
BY reason OF the knowledge acquired
IN this manner the chemist becomes so
experienced that the slyest contractors
cannot substitute cheap supplies for
those ordered under the specifications
BY reason of the same experience the
chemist becomes so expert in drawing
up specifications that even III contra c.
tors tried TO make subsututions they
could not do So

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 30, 1904.
Week ending Aug. 81, 1904
The week was moderately warm
in the eastern counties, and cool in
the western counties. 1t was dry
until the 28th, when light showers
became general throughout the
state, breaking the drought that
had prevailed for more than a
month. Although the rain was
light, its effect was beneficial in
quenching the forest fires, clearing
the atmosphere of smoke, laying
the dust, and refreshing vegetation.
The showers were too light and too
late to be of much help to the gem
eral crops, Copious rains would
revive pastures and insure a good
root crop.
The threshing of winter wheat IS
about two-thirds to threefourths
completed. The yield apparently
varies from little below average
to little above, according to local
lty. The quality is good, but the
berry is smaller than usual, owing
to hot and dry weather. Fall seed
Ing has just begun in early sec
tons. The soil is too dry for plow-
Ing. The cutting of spring wheat
Is nearly finished, except in late
localities. The yield, although fair
TO good in eastern Whitman and
The southeast counties is far below
average in the central counties.
The week has been fine for oat cut
ting, and the work is nearly fin
lshed. The crop is generally light.
Corn is being cut in Klickitat coun.
ty.

Great Blue. Deserve Credit,

The Las Vegas baseball boys, de-
serve the greatest credit for going
through the game with Albuquerque
yesterday without making a fuss and
turning the game into II jawing
match. The rules Of baseball give
the runner the benefit OF the doubt
In d close point. This was carefully
observed by the umpire when Albu-
querque's interest was al stake and
as carefully ignored when Las Vegas
was running. Moreover, 1t would
that the etiquette Of the situa-
ton might have allowed Las Vegas
to enjoy some of the benefits of the
doubt In the close points. Not so
with Mr.. Goldsmith. He evidently
wanted Albuquerque to win and he
opportunity by the fore-lock
In every case.
Nevertheless, 1t was a splendid ex-
hlbition Of baseball In which, so far
as the two teams were concerned,
the excellent spirit manifested left
nothing to be desired.
