GAS TO RUN WARSHlPS.
German Engineer Thinks Steam Can
Be Displaced-submits Plans
for New Motive Power.

The German navy officials are giving
close study to the possibilities OF gas
engines for propelllng warships. 1t is
reported that the admiralty is having
a rather large vessel fitted out there
with for the purpose Of making expert
ments.
A discussion on the subject attracted
unusual attention at a recent session of
the German society Of naval archi-
teets at Berlin. The chief paper was
read by Engineer Capltaine. Of Frank
fcrt-on-the-Main, who predicted that
gas viii dispIace the present steam en-
eines as well as the turbines.
According to the engineers calcula-
tons the present machine Utilities only
II TO IA per cent of the Goals energy,
whereas gas engines utilize 20 per cent,
The speaker described his Invention,
which he copiously illustrated by mod
els and magic lantern pictures, whereby
he proved that gas can be successfully
adapted to driving marine engines.
The T~hornevcrofts are now building
vessel to be fitted with a hundred-horse
power gas engine, according TO the Ger.
mar engineers plans. The latter
doubts whether the existing types Of gas
machines are available to above 4 thou
sand-horse power, but he says his in
vention solves the problem of larger
sizes, The merits Of the new machines
besides doubling the energy from coal
will be a great saving in room and in
weight.

CANNED CORN OUTPUT
mARYLAND's SHARE WILL BE
OVER 100000 CASES.
Total Pack of Entire Country Esti-
mated at About 1000, 900 Cases,
or About Double Output
of Last Year.

Maryland Gamers win this year pack
more cans OF sweet corn than was
ever known in the trade here before.
In 1903 about 100000 cases were
packed. This year the output Is figured
al 100000 cases. Each ease contains
two dozen cans, so the total number Of
cans this year, based on the number
Of cases given above, will be 200, 900.
A weil-known firm Of canned goods
brokers say that the pack this year Is
large because Of the great demand for
corn not only At home. but abroad,
aud also to the short pack of last year.
The smailness Of the pack in 1903 re-
suited in the placing by jObbers all
over the country OF large advance or
dcrs at a slightly increased rise over
last years prices.
II is figured that the pack in Mary

Is WON AT NO MANS PARTY
President Of st. Louis Bachelor Girls
Club ~Capitulates to the Wiles
of Cupid.

That Cupid's darts are no respectors
OF individuals or compacts is empha-
sized by the announcement of the com
ing marriage Of Miss Julia r. Ratch-
ford, president OF the Bachelor Girls
club Of st, Teresa's parish Of st. Louis,
to j. 7. Burke, also a member of the
Grand avenue church.
Stranger still is the fact that the en-.
gagement of the young people grew out
OF a bachelor girls party from which
men were tabooed, but failed not to
attend, MI, Burke was one of IS young
men who braved the stern edict of
the girls that one but girls participate
in the party's festivities.
The party was given at Miss Ratch.
ford's home February IL, 1874. The on.
siaught on the house by the young men
was more than the girls could with
stand, and they cap.tulated with the
bost grace possible.
MIR, Burke's suit, while never
frowned upon, was Got successful at
thr start. Though he had led the
party that broke into the sacred con-
fines of the bachelor girls party with
glory to himself and his companions.
Miss Ratchford was 10th to our
the principles of spinsterhood she had
advocated.
Burke was persistent, however. and
pressed his suit with the ardor worthy
OF the Japanese samurai.
When he proposed, she hesitated.
fearing the wrath of her fellow.sworn
bachelor girls.
