The scientific world seems almost

foundations of science has been de-

OLD BATTLEsHIp ToRPEDoED.
Experiment MT Portsmouth. Eng,
Proves FutiIity Of Plan to Keep
Damaged Craft Afoat.

The old battleship Belle Isle was tor
pedoed at Portsmouth, England, the
other day, and sank at her mornings.
For the purposes of the experiment a
section had been constructed on the port
side Of the Belle Isle representing the
side of modern battleship. This was
filed with substance, the invention Of
an American. which, it Is claimed,
would prevent a ship from sinking when
the hull is penetrated below the water
line.
When the vessel was struck huge
column of water enveloped her, she
rolled heavily, and then settled down
with list to port. The Belle Isle will
be raised for further experiments. Tt
is said the damage done to the ships
bottom was extensive.

IN RAILWAY SHOPS.
Progress Of Different Factories in
Making Cars During Year.
OmciaI Returns Place Number OF Cars
Turned ont at 154, sOs-Over 5000
New Locomotives Built-Canada
Makes a Good Showing.

Official returns from all but two car
building plants in the United States
show that 1914, 808 cars have been built
during the year 1903. AS the two firms
not heard from turn out total OF less
than 1000 cars, the Railroad Gazette
has estimated the output from their
own record of their work and added the
sum obtained to the above total. This
figure includes all freight and passen-
ger cars built for elevated and steam
railroads, exclusive of those built by
the railroads at their own shops, and
exclusive of those built for street and
other electric service. Careful esti-
mates have been made by all the large
car plants of their output during the
month of December, SO the total given
above is very nearly correct.
OF this total figure, approximately,
152,8O1 are freight cars and 2,OO7 are
passenger coaches: 153. 1875 for domes-
tic use and 1913 for export.
Last year the total number of cars
built was 164,547 which is about 300
in excess of this year. The decrease
has occurred in the last two months,
as up to that time the output for 1903
was equal to the output for the first ten
months of 1902.
During the year 5,152 locomotives
were built at the various locomotive
works in the country, as against 4,070
last year This figure is of1cially cor
rect, as complete returns have been re-
ceived from every locomotive plant in
the United States. The number in
cludes SO electric locomotives. The in
crease over 1902 is the largest that has
ever been made in one year, and is pos
sibly due to the fact that the locomo-
tive works in the country had such q
volume of orders placed during 1902
that they were unable to make imme-
date deliveries and many of the or
ders were held over until 1908.
Returns from Canada show that 81
locomotives have been built by two
firms, one of which has only recently
begun operations.
In analyzing the report it is interest.
ing to note what this total of s, 1852 real.
ly means, by calculating the expendi-
ture involved. At an average cost pei
locomotive Of $4,000, the total amour
spent by the railroads for motive pow
er would approximate $62, 000,0 900. Thi.
figure of course does not include thu
locomotives which are built yearly BIZ

The city marshal at Long Beach a
few days ago was again requested to
look out for her, but not finding her in
his bailiwick, went to San Pedro, where
she has been found through the detec-

Marshal Williams enlisted to help him.
Bessie, dressed in boys attire, had
been working in a San Pedro bowling al

girl, and her escapades are believed to
be due to desire to satisfy craving for

England.s Nutmeg supply.

The nutmeg supply Of England and her
colonies Is almost entirely in the hands
of Dutchmen. The bulk comes from the
Island Of Banda, and over 80 per cent. or
the worlds crop from the Dutch West IN
dies. The fruiting powers of the trees
are remarkable. They start fruiting
when about IL years old, and yield regu-
larly for so or so years. They carry
blossoms and fruits without intermis-
fsion through every month in the year.
The nutmeg, as we know II In this coun-
try, fl really the entire kernel OF the
fruit, and In color the latter resembles
the peach. The kernels are dried for ex-
port purposes, and In this process they
lose their purple hue.

troublesome Problem OF Cooling the
Air I'm the Silnplon Tube Has at
Last Been Solved.

Recent dispatches have suggested the
probability that work upon the Simplon
tunnel in the Alps would be abandoned
because the hot springs encountered
made the heat so great that it could
rot be borne. The difficulties, however,
have been solved.
For distance of 614 miles the noun
tain has been penetrated on the north
and for Az miles on the south side,
leaving III miles to complete it. a.
juncture will be effected next year with
a maximum of error in direction OF
seven or eight inches.
Owing to the great height of the
mountains above the tunnel, the pres
sure is great, and the temperature Of
the rocks and springs Is corresponding
ly high. The greatest heat encountered
was 1873 r. 1T is now 126. This tenn
perature, with water falling upon the
workmen, would injure them, but this
heat has been reduced by diluting the
air with cold from hydraulic mains.
To cool the air a large volume Of fresh
air, the temperature Of which has been
reduced by means of a high pressure
water spray, is sent up to the working
face of the tunnel, where it is perfect
" cool and fresh in contrast with the
foulness and oppressiveness usual In
other tunnels.
There is no sickness among the work
men. A Brandt drill Immediately sup
presses the dust. There has not been
a single case Of miners phthisis, al
though 5000 men have been working
