Capt. Pendleton Discusses Publicati ton
Respecting Colorado Gun Sights.

Capt. Pendleton, superintendent of the
Washington navy yard, said this afternoon
he had no Investigation to make in con-
nection with the alleged defective sights
on the guns of the cruiser Colorado.

that the changes were made with full au-
grurtled employee thought he had a point
against the master mechanic, and we shall
tell him, if he wants to now, that he is
mistaken.
THE story is this: A man in laying off
a groove fountain sights for the Colo
RADIO cut 1t wrong. The master mechanic
was told and he took the mistake to Lieut..
Haywood in charge of the inspection of
the sights. Together they went to Capt
Jones, draughtSman in charge of the draw
ings. The two naval officers decided on
simple method for correcting the error
upon the advice of the master mechanic.
Master Mechanic Won Hermann then car
ried out his orders and corrected the sights.
THE matter amounted to SO little that

Lieut.. Haywood.

WHEN WALL STREET LOSES CASH
Midsummer and Autumn Movement in
Other Years.
From the New York Evening Post


Almost invariably at this time of year
there begins to be heard the statement that
"the west will finance its own crop-mov-
ing By the time the logical demonstra-
ton of this fact is complete. currency Is
moving westward in quantity from New
Yor to the harvest states The actual loss
in cash by New York banks. at this crop
moving season" may be seen from the fol
lowing statement of decrease in actu1l
cash holdings from the high point of eacn
summer: 1904. between August - and De
cember II. So. AIS. 900: 1888. between Au-
gust 20 and November n. 81 2iT eco. lgp2

1901, between August 10 and September Il.
S-2.33o.Oo: 1900. between September l iui
November 10. s4o5T1, 900.
These are reasonably large sums. yet they
really represent only the net outfiow-the
loss in cash by New York banks, even
after allowing for gold imports or receipts
flom the government. In September and
October, last year. the country imported
$o6O0.000 more gold than II exported. III
the same months Of l5Ml. the net import
WAS SSS00O0O: in 1902. $1,000 OOO: In 1got
SBSboGoS in 1900. $lI.oDO.ep0. Yet with all
this large offset. and with gold imports
even on the west coast promptly trans
mitted TO Wall street. the harvest move
ment caused the total cash loss shown IN
the above comp arisOns.
? There is no reason TO suppose that events
this season will be In any respect different.
The one puzzling question Is. how far
can reckon this year on extensive relief
through gold importation. Japan and Aus
tral1a, which last year were renting heav-
lily. have been sending very little. and
the probable attitude OF Europe's market
is rendered perpleXing by the war-indem-
nifty question

DESTRUCTION OF INSECTS.
Experiments Being Made With Elec-
tricity

The Electrical Magazine, according to
German papers, describes a series of eX-
periments for destroying insects injurious
to the products of the soil, which expert
ments are said to have been successful. An
engineer at Monaco was the first one to
have his attention called to it- while he
worked with an electric machine in the
open air. He observed that metal rods,
which were put into the ground and were
then connected with dynamo of no volts
made insects in the vicinity leave their hid
ing places in the ground He argued that
electricity might therefore be used on
large scale to kill these insects, which all
came in great haste to the surface 1t Is
probable that for the killing of various
kinds different voltage will be used. Fur
Their experiments will be made to this end.
An apparatus is mentioned, invented by
Russian. for killing injurious insects by
electricity. A dynamo is so placed upon
hand car that no electricity is engendered
while the car is standing still.
When in motion the current passes into
the ground through the iron wheels of the
car upon side. and upon the other
through the points of brushes of copper
wire which are fastened in the rear of the
car so as to be a few inches above the
ground.
The result is said to be that all insects
in the vicinity of the copper brushes are
killed as if by lightning.

WHAT STOCK TAX Is EARNING.
Remarkable Results From the New
Law, Thus Far in the Year.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
When the stock transfer law passed the
legislature # was estimated that its annual
proceeds would be S3.00D.Ooo Actual re
ceipts from the tax during June, the first
month of its operation. amounted to Si40,
timated sum was earned in a single month,
and that a month of no very great activity.
On the New York stock exchange II 5oo.uh
shares were sold in June; the tax of 81 per
100 shares should have yielded S21l.Op0 or
about 81 per cent of the total receipts OF
the month from all stock transfers in tho
state.
1t Is a matter OF possible calculation. on
this basis. how much the tax would have
yielded on the basis OF last years business
during other months, and how much may
be expected for this season. In the last six
months of 1904 135.0N.oW shares changed
hands on the stock exchange; in the first six
months of 1905 the record was 13T, 600 COO.
On these two sums the tax of So per 100
shares would have yielded S5.4O0.0GO. If re
ceipts from sales elsewhere had borne the
same ratio to receipts from stock exchange
sales they did in June. S4.lO0,0o0 more
would have been obtained. making a total
yearly revenue of S9.J0O.ooO as against the
S3,0O0,ONo Albany estimate.
The coming months may or may not fulfil
this record; on the stock exchange sales
thus far in July. have exceeded 1904. If one
could get glimpse at the June accounts OF
the larger stock exchange manpulators. h.
might learn who is making most of this lib
eral contribution to the public purse.

OLD TOWN PUMPS.
No Orders Issued Preventing Their
Use

The old town pump at the corner of Sd
and d streets northeast is not to be de-
stroyed. No order has gone forth from the
health department that the cooling waters
furnished by the faithful old pump to
scores of residents of the northeast Wash
ington neighborhood are other than of the
purest, nor do the local engineering or
water departments know anything against
the willing purveyOr of aqua pura"
The last analysis made by the health de-
partment on July 81 showed that water
from the pump at the corner of Sd and D
streets was not in any way contaminated
and unless the health department dis
covers that a well is in a condition danger
Gus to users of its water, the District gov
eminent has In contemplation no campaign
of destruction.
These facts are given a measure of in
formation to one of The Stars subscribers,
an extract from whose letter reads:
The writer learns that order has
been made to fill up the well pump at
the corner of Sd and d streets northeast
in the next day or two, and hundreds
Of people are using of the healthful and
cool water from said pump something ought
to be done to save it"

CADETS UNDER TENTS
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS IN OCEAN
CITY CAMP.
spee.., Correspondence Of The Star.


OCEAN CITY. N. J.. August I. 1905.
The high school cadets are enjoying to
the full their camp at Ocean City. N. J..
The boys arrived at 5:45 o'clock Saturday
evening AIighting at 14th street the corps
marched In column of squads through the
city to the camp grounds which were al
ready prepared for their reception.
Beautiful weather and a large crowd of
Ocean City pleasure seekers and citizens
greeted the cadets. and highly favorable
comment on all sides made on the
excellent appearance of the marchers. As
the column entered the grounds a handsome
flag. presented by Commandant Howard.
was hauled to the top of forty-foot poe
which had just been erected for the puT
pose. The battalion saluted "Old Glory
and then formed in front of the cadet ON
GERS quarters and went through the guard
mounting ceremony. The camp was then
cleared of visitors.
At p. m. the best of mess awaited
hungry lot of cadets, some of whom had
subsisted chiefly railroad sandwiches
and railroad chocolate. Colonel Fulton,
Captain Steinberg and Lieutenant Kingsley
wondered what the cook had done to the
coffee after they had put two spoonfuis OF
salt into it. There was considerable sput-
tering about the matter.
Capt. +. S. NARROW was the first officer
of the day and performed his duties ike
a veteran. Most OF the members Ol ms
company were placed guard, and al
though very tired from the long journey
from Washington, they did their duty faith
fully and well. 1t is Il novel experience for
the cadets to take turn on sentry post, but
they are entering into the spirit of the
military camp with full intention to profit
from the experience gained during the en-
campment. Captain MARROW and Captain
Steinberg and their aids burned the mid
night candle to the socket deiving into the
L. s army regulations.
The guard on post No. had some expert
ence and drill in the performance of his
duties the first night. Some young gentle
men from a civilian camp near by decided
to see what sport could be had at the mill
tary post but were sent Scampering by the
appearance on tire scene of the fun guard
out of the ground, as they characterized
it.
The cadets are enjoying the excellent
bathing ball playing and other sports when
off duty, but the camp Is being ruled ac-
cording to military regulations. Plenty of
opportunity is given, however, for the boys
to enjoy their summer outing in every way
consistent with the purpose of the officers
and cadets to have the camp, its amuse-
ments and militarism credit to Washing
ton and pleasure to Ocean Citys citizens.
Great interest is manifested by the pleas
ure seekers and citizens here in the young
soldiers Visitors are frequent. The boys
would be pleased to welcome into their
camp visitors from Washington, ID. c.
