DR.. SCHUC MAKES REPORT
AND CONFIRMS STATEMENTS
PUBLISHED BY THE TIMES

DIR. +. j. Schug, health commissioner
has completed his examination of the CITY
water supply and will make report of
his investigations to the council tonight
In his report Dr. Schug substantially cor.
roborates the statements made Inv The
INES during the past week. both in re.
gard to the conditions existing along
Glover creek, where the city water comes
from, and also practically admits the pres
enee OF typhoid germs in the water.
Inc report which DR. Schug will make
to the council tonight is as follows:
10 the Honorable City Council Ia
coma
Gentlemen; As per your request.
have made another investigation of the
city water supply, and would respectfully
make the following report. viz:
AT the intake, or filter station peter
smith $ place. everything is in good order
and condition, and the filter is in good
working order; from the intake where
the open ditch commences to Falkland
the surroundings are fair but at Falkland
college, | lind that the sewer from the
college emptles into a cesspool placed about
one-halt way down the hill: this cesspoo,

but could find no sickness of any kind.
Physicians who attend in that region state
that there are no cases of typhoid.
Il would advise that the authorities at
Falkland college be requested to construct
a new eeSspool on top and back from the
hill, and said eesspool should be of suff-
Gent depth to reach coarse gravel; this
would eliminate one bad condition. As to
the other places south of Falkland, would
advise that the fume be extended far
enough south so as to overcome any CON
dltlon that might arise from that region.
Would say in regard to the typhoid
fever in the city that a great majority of
the cases came from out of the city to
the hospitals for treatment. A number of
the cases in the city have come from the
Smith & Fife addition. where there are
no sewers and no city water, the people
using water from wells, and at many of
the places the privy vaults are but a few
feet from the well; at one place there were
a number of cases in one family. which
undoubtedly originated from the water
supply, as investigation showed the water
to be very bad.
Il have made numerous tests of the city
water supply for nitrous acid. which if
found is the surest sign of the presence
of noxious bacteria in drinking water:
some of the tests showed slight traces of
the acid.
81 would further state that | consider
1T advisable for people to continue to boil
city water for drinking purposes"

MADRID, Spain, Feb. lO.--Carlism in
Spain is dormant ana the leaders want
to infuse life in it by the abdicaticn of
Don Carlos in favor Of his son, Don Jaime
pronounced Ha-e-may) Carlos is now
Sc, too aged to take an active part in a
struggle for his own restoration, while his
son is but "a, and is ready to fight when
ever a chance for success presents itself.
Jaime is an officer in the Russian army,
fine soldier of good presence, and makes
friends wherever he goes. He enjoys a
popularity that Carlos never had, and he is
noted among his brother officers for his
fearlessness, while Carlos has long had a
reputation just the reverse.
Carlists in Spain believe the time is com
ing when the people will want to throw

TURBINE STEAMER, SHOWING ABB
SENCE OF ROLLERS.

GLASGOW, Scotland, Feb. IO.-Glasgow
people say the world does not realize what
a revolution must follow the invention of
their townsman, G. A. Parsons. To them
there is no question that the steam tur-
blne will soon supersede triple-expansion
reclprocatlng engines for ship propulsion
and there are not wanting shipbuilders
who herald fresh era in construction.
Ships, especially cargo carriers. travelling
at twice and three times their present
speed, will have a revolutionary effect
upon the worlds commerce. Markets will
be twice as near and the humiliation of
time will be a great stimulus to trade.
especially in perishable goods. Scotch
builders are enthusiastic over the turbine,
and anticipate the first real benefits will
be shown in the direction of enabling ma
val architects to design ships of lighter
scanthngs, with no fear of vibration.
Steamers equipped with turbines have
achieved undreamt of speed, unapproach-
able under old conditions
Shipbuilders declare that war vessels are
best suited for the application of turbine
machinery, such as torpedo destroyers, fast
cruisers, Atlantic liners and pleasure
yachts. There is nothing to wear out in
the turbine equipped steamer except hull
and boilers. The consumption of oil is
infinitesimal, there being no bearings to
lubricate. Experience proves that ships
thus fitted increase their power, and in
the case of passenger steamers the accom-
mediation was increased from 40 to l,25C
passengers. The speed record of the tur-
bine is 1858 knots an hour, equivalent to
~ land miles.
The pioneer turbine syndicate was form
ed in 1894 and the first vessel fitted with
the steam turbine was the Turbinia. which
ran her trials that year. A single com
pound engine Of radical type was tried on
one shaft and two-blade propellers of 30
inch diameter were used. but with dis
couraging results. Accordingly four-bladt
propellers were next tried, still without
the desired effect Parsons was not con
quered, and his next move was to multiply
his propellers, set about three diameter,

| three-quarter knots were obtained.
The original single compound turbin,
was dropped and three separate turbine
! took its place-high, intermediate and low
pressure turbines, each driving a shaft
while the diameter of the propelers wal
reduced to Is inches. The division of tur
bines and the applying of one-third of tn
total power to each of the three shaft
gave the great increase of speed.

POLICE CANNOT
FIND BURGLARS

The Tacoma police have not discovered
any trace of the burglars who took
a tray of cheap jewelry from the
Boston store Monday night The work
shows the earmarks OF experts and it is
likely that they had well defined plans of
escape made before they entered the place.
Entrance to the building was gained
through a window in the basement. The
burglars gained the upper floor by break
ing open trap door with an ak.
The Boston store was broken into sew
eral weeks ago and goods to the value of
5000 taken.

off the yoke imposed on them by the weak
young Alfonso Kill and his mother and
they think that if they seize the crucial
moment they will be able to SECURE the
throne.
To-ao this, they need the rousing of en-
thusiasm among Spaniards, and that is i'm
possible if Don Carlos be the candidate for
the kingship.
If Don Jaime be the pretender there
is little doubt that his soldierly qualities
would attract the support of many Span
iards, and that his advisers would have
less difficulty in making the restoration
cession on the banks of the Yalu river as
Don Carlos is considering the proposition
to abdicate at his home in Venice. and his
decision may be announced at any time

The first turbine driven passenger steam
er was the King Edward, and on her trial
she attained a speed of 20.48 knots. Her
success led to the adoption Of turbines for
cross-channel services-Calais, Dover and
Newhaven-Dieppe.
The next advance of the turbine was it's
application to a pleasure yacht, A. L.
Barber, of New York, having the distinc-
ton Of owning her. She was 253 feet by
80 feet, and attained IS knots. A step
forward was made in increased passenger
accommodation, while seventy tons were
saved in the engine room. Then followed
the yacht Emerald, built on the Clyde for
Sir Christopher Furness, which was the
first turbine to cross the Atlantic.
Parsons turbine consistslof cylindrical
case with numerous rings Of inwardly pro
jecting blades. Within this.cylinder, which
is OF variable internal diameter, is an axle
or spindle and ON this spindle are mounted
blades projecting outwardB. The dame
ter of the spindle is less than the internal
diameter of the cylinder and thus an angu-
lar space is left between the two. This
space Is occupied by the blades and it is
through these the steam flows.
The steam enters the cylinder by means
Of an angular port at the forward end.
1t meets a ring of fixed guide blades,
which defects it so that il strikes the adj
joining ring of moving blades at such an
angle that it exerts on them a rotary i'm
pulse. When the steam leaves these
blades it has naturally been DETECTED. The
second ring of fixed blades is therefore in.
terposed, and these direct the steam on to
the second ring of rotating blades, and
the spindle is forced with rapid revoIu
ton.
The inventor was the son of the late
Lord Rose, whose name IS known every
where in connection with the great tele
scope. Like his father, Parsons is borr
inventor and has shown by his persever
ance in the development Of the turbine
that he has at least inherited one of tn,
essential qualifications Although com
