THE ALEXANDRIA IN DANGER
Beautiful and Historic Spanish struo-
ture May Collapse at Any
Time

Granada, Spain.-lt was no mere
alarmist report which was sent out
from this country few days ago re-
garding the condition Of the world-fa-
nous Alhambra. The cracks which
have appeared in the walls are serious.
and it will not be surprising If the his
toric building is overtaken by the same
fate which befell the Campanile at
Venice. It might easily be saved by
prompt action on the part Of lhe Span
ish government, but there Is little hope
that such action will be taken.
Officialdom for years has neglected
the Alhambra in fashion which would
have outraged Washington Irving, and
the present condition of the wonderful
monument of Moorish elegance and
grandeur is merely the natural result
For several centuries the greed and in
difference of successive Spanish gov
errors permitted the wonderful pile to
be pillaged and defaced. The superb
entrance arch, called by the Moors the
gate OF the law" with its impressive
inscription in Arabic, There is no con-
Queror but God" was irreparably mutt

than that, and in proof tits said that tho
contract that he brought home with him
called for 80 of these small craft, says
the Herald, of this, city. This contract
he has filed, and the mosquito feet il
ready for the car. The boats are all
either on their way or have been deliv.
cred at various Russian ports.
But Russia was not willing to stop
there, or to rely entirely on the Baltic
fleet, which she is now sending In two
sQuadrons, to become a new Pacific
squadron. She realized that the Japan
csc were splendid fighters on sea as we'll
as on land, and she decided to have 9TH
er sQuadrons to follow those now en-
route, in case these should fail.
To meet this emergency it is decided
to build on the Black sea fleet which
should be able to cope with any force
the Japanese could muster. Accordingly
arrangements have been made for the
construction, under the personal SUPER
vision Of Lewis Nixon, in home Russian
waters, of 100 fighting ships, ranging
from torpedo boat destroyers and cruis-
ers of all classes up to the heavily ar
mored battleships.
This work must be done within two
years, and it is to be assumed that Rus
STA does not expect to see the war end
until after the lapse of that time. To
accomplish this in the given time the
great ship building plant Of Russia, at
Sevastopol, has been greatly augmented
and improved. It Is now considered the
third largest ship yard in the world.
Much in the way of making ready has al
ready been done. The enormous plant
on the Black sea will be under the
charge of Mr.. Nixon, and he will take
with him to fill the great order 1900
skilled American artisans. These work
men will be transported half way around
the world to fill the largest order fol
warships ever given.
How the new Russian navy will get Out
of the Black sea, through the Dardanelles
without complications with Turkey and
Europe is q matter which at this time
does not enter into the problem.

AGED BELL FOUNDRY
LONDON HAS ONE THAT Is SEW
ERAL CENTURIES OLD.
Founded in 1870 It Is Still Turning
Out Work for Cathedrals and
Churches Of the British
Empire.

London.-This city has bell foundry
in Whitechapel road, founded in 1870.
where the big bells are still made. 4
peal of eight bells for the Rochester
cathedral was turned out q few days
ago. Two are entirely new, the treble
and second bell. Four, which were cast
originally in 1886, 1868, 1896, and the
fourth having no date, have been made
over. Two Of the old bells, cast in 1712
and 1884, have been retained. The in
dustry calls for superior workmanship.
To be successful bell founder one re-
quires not only to be good musician
and mechanician, but he must also be
practical metallurgist and possess
some of the qualifications of an archi-
tect. To be able to cast and tune bell
in consonance with others of the peal,
one must have precise musical ear, and
as bell metal is mixture of copper and
tin (the latter being somewhat less than
a fourth of the whole weight), it would
be ruinous if the bellfounder were not
an expert.
But the onerous duties Of the bell
founder do not end there. He has to
make the bell wheels and fittings, and
in order to appreciate the strength of
the belfry in which the bells are to be
hung, he must have good knowledge of
architecture. And still further to insure
success he must be a bell-ringer. Al!
these attributes are to be found at the
foundry whence the great bell of West
minister, the largest ever cast in Lon
don; the great bell of Montreal cathe-
dral, the largest ever shipped: 'Great
Peter" Of York Minister; Great Tom" OF
Lincoln cathedral; the clock bells of st.
Paul's (the hour bell ringing since 1909 ;
BOW Bells" of Cheapside, and host OF
others, had their origin.
The industry is most interesting one
in all its branches. To begin with the
casting Of large bells, the shape Of the
bell is a vital factor. 1t is its soul. AL
though the shape has not changed per.
ceptibly for hundreds Of years, yet to the
eye Of the expert the advance of science
can be seen. The first difficulty is to get
the shape true. That done, the tone will
be true.
To bring this about an iron mold Is
made and lined with loan, giving the
exact shape Of the outside of the bel

FURY or OIL TANK FIRES.
Danger Of Permitting Storage Rsssr-
voirs In or Near Cities
Is Shown.

Chicago.-Fire underwriters through
out the country are laying much stress
on the danger of permitting oil storage
tanks to be located in or near city.
They declare that such tanks are seri-
Gus menace to life and property and
must necessarily affect insurance rates
unfavorably.
At Indianapolis citizens association
is trying to compel the removal Of oil
tanks beyond the city limits, and SINH
lar movement is on foot in other cities.
1t has been proved that the tanks at
tract lightning as was the case at Find
lay, O., not long ago. when bolt struck

1,2OO-barrel tank, causing an explosion
which spread the fire to three other huge
tanks, thus unloosing sea Of burning
oil, and causing an immense amount OF
damage.
In the fire at .Findlsy the great tanks
furnished almost unlimited food for tho
flames, says q special to the Journal
here. A billow of dense smoke rose
from the roaring caldron 1000 feet
straight in the air. 1t spread as it rose
until it hung like an immense balloon.
black a. midnight in the center, but
reddeoed about the edge and at the bot
tom with the flames that leaped hun
dreds of feet in the air. The spectacle
was majestic in its awful superiority to
anything that man could do.
For an hour the pillar Of fire hung over
the burning tanks then the wind rose
slightly and the great pillows of smoke
and flame were swung away and grad
ually f1oated with the wind. For a score
of miles the dense cloud hung together
so that people miles away could read In
it as it passed overhead the story Of
wholesale oil destruction.
To prevent the fire spreading as the
burning oil ran out of the tanks the
workmen, with horses and plows and
with shovels, threw up an embank-
mont about the oil buildings, much
like an immense circus ring, so
that the oil was held in pool inside
the embankment, and the buildings
| we're saved.

PEAT AS NEW FUEL.
CHICAGO CONCERN READY TO
MANUFACTURES 1T.
Say They Will Sell It for What It II
Worth and Not What It Costs
Has Advantage Over
Coal.

Chicago.-To the average mind the
word peat" suggests the crude huts
Of St. Patrick's land of bog. or Holland
peasants trudging along green mead
ows in heavy wooden shoes. But
Yankee ingenuity has dragged it from
those ancient settings into the strong
light of modern industrial utility, to act
as guide to the common people, to lead
them, in fact, from the coal barons'
Egypt into promised land, which shall
be smokeless, sootless, sulphurless and
cinderless. Yankee ingenuity has
found way to manufacture excellent
coal out of Yankee peat, the new process
being made practicable by certain pat
ented machinery invented by Chicago
man, ]. Campbell Morrison by name.
But whether the common people will
be benefited financially thereby to any
material extent is an open question.
since the new process is owned by q cor
poration, and corporations are heartless
things. The process is already DEM
onstrated success to the point that this
new manufactured peat coal IL being
made every day in Chicago, and when
put to use as a steam riser or for do
nestle fuel it answers all the require
ments of the most perfect and econom-
ical sort of fuel. 1t has as great heat
value as anthracite; it will burn as long,
and it is q conspicuously good fuel In
that It is actually smokeless.
Like all good things with COM
mercial value, however, the science Of
making coal out of waste prairie lands
and marsh ground is not to be pushed
rs a philanthropy to give the people
rebate on their winters coal bills, or to
clean our city skies, although both may
follow as incidental advantages. This
new application of science to the crea-
ton of wealth was no sooner perfected
than it was grabbed up by business men,
who were quick to see wealth in 1t for
themselves. These have formed a cor
poration, to become in the peat fuel in
dustry just what Divine Right Baer and
his fellow monopolists are in the an
thracite trade In short, the peat fuel
business is to become monopoly o.
big as any other in the fuel field, those
who are behind the new business de-
clare, with calm confidence, and instead
of one set of barons providing an anti
dote for the other. the people may be
oppressed by both.
The new method is an original one,
and simple, as all great things are SIM

lated to make way for q wooden image
of the virgin.
In 1912 the French under Sebastini
blew up eight of the towers. and other
buildings narrowly escaped a similar
fate. In 1921 the ancienr pile was shat
tered by an earthquake. That so much
of it has survived 50 many vicissitudes
is striking evidepce Of the consummate
mastery with which the old Moorish
builders combined grace with strength.
Enough of its original lavish splendor
Is still to be seen to make it easily I'M
derstood whence arose the popular be-
lief that its great founder. Ibn-l7shmaf,
dealt in magic. 1t was not until 1861
that the work of restoring the Alhambra
to something like its original condition
was seriously begun, but the progress
made has been small owing to lack Of
funds Spain has few millionaires OF
her own and the work II not OF char
acter that appeals to the practical
minded American variety. There II Ut
tie hope of official action.

ple. The ground is dug by machinery,
convened by bucket chain to the plant,
where it is dried in centrifugal ma
chimes, that whirl at the rate OF ESQ
revolutions a minute, and automatically
iced wet peat and discharge dried peat
at the rate of 500 pounds every three
minutes. The dried stuff is then chopped
and conducted through a rotary drier
and fed into very powerful press, where
under great pressure and with heat ap-
piled to the mold, it is pressed from soft,
dry powder into a hard, dense BLOCK
much like coal. The peat Is pressed
through an open tube, instead OF against
a fixed resistance mold, and the only
base is the movable base OF other
briouettes being pushed out ahead, which
offer resistance-by friction against the
side of the mold. Yet that resistance
kives a pressure of 30 tons to the square
inch, and makes a briquette much more
tense than could be secured by pressure
In a fixed die. The surface Is tnen
scared, or glazed, to make it weather
proof.
And because this new plan has been
worked out effectually and actually
produces excellent smokeless coal, and
will be able to furnish it in immense
quantities at one dollar or less per
ton. the people are to be asked to pay
five dollars per ton for it, in order that
trade may develop another giant mo-
nonolv and shareholders may wax fat
on dividends.
But these peat makers seem to have
the best of tho argument, as the peat
lands are all but worthless without
their method, and the people need the
fuel, and, as they say, 1.-The people will
have to come to US and pay whatever
our fuel is worth in heat units not
respecting the cost to US of producing
the fuel"
That they have the whip hand, and
are aware of the fact, was made clear
to a reporter who called upon the
president of the corporation, Henry S.
Bunting. The Illinois Peat Fuel COM
pany 10 the name under which the
corporation operates.
Mr.. Bunting made no attempt to
conceal the fact that he was not phil
anthropically inclined. His candor on
this point, in fact, was interesting
from a psychological viewpoint, as he
explained that the stockholders Of his
company had made him president, not
with the idea of guarding the inter-
ests of the dear public, but ITO make
dividends for them" He proposed to
fill his position with an eye singly
and solely to that end.
