DEEP-SEA TELEPHONES

From the Technical World.
A use TO which the submarine tele
phone may be put in time of war will
be for communicating with submarine
torpedo boats as well as for detecting
the presence of the latter class of yes
sells belonging to an enemy. For the
former purpose an instrument called n
multiple sounder has been constructed.
This has an alphabetical keyboard re-
sembling that of typewriter. a pres
sure on a key causing set of hammers
to beat on a diaphragm the Morse tele-
graph sign for each letter. Anyone
who can operate typewriter can in
this way send submarine message.
A special apparatus somewhat like a
stock ticker would enable the message
to be picked up on submarine boat
and printed OH tape. In the same
way a message could be sent from the
submarine boat and received at u
shore station or on the flagship of
fleet. a more simple way of sending
messages would be by attaching
striking gong or bell to the side of
ship and tapping out certain agreed
upon code.

NUTkIMENT IN FOODS

A quart of milk. three-quarters of
pound of moderately fat beef-sirloin
steak, for instance-and five ounces
of wheat flour all contain about the
same amount Of nutritive material, but
we pay different prices for them. ana
they have different values for nutri-
ment. The milk comes nearest to be-
ing perfect food. 1t contains all the
different kinds of nutritive materials
that the body needs. Bread made from
the wheat flour will support life. 1t
contains all the necessary ingredients
for nourishment. but not in. the pro-
portion best adapted for ordinary use.
A man might live on beef alone, but
it would be a very one-sided and i'm
perfect diet. But meat and bread to-
gether make the essentials of a health
full diet. Such are the Facts of expert
ence. The advancing science of later
years explains them. This explanation
takes into account not simply guam
titles of meat and bread and milk and
other materials which we eat, but also
the nutritive ingredients or "nutr-
ents" which they contain.

"WELFARE EXPERT"

From the New York Tribune.
In order that welfare departments
may be developed in more factories
and mills about the country. the Ma
tional Civic Federation has engaged
w. Il. G. Nazro as consulting expert.
The plan is to lend his services to man
ufacturers who desire to increase the
welfare of their employees. No charge
beyond his travelling expenses will be
made for the work he does.
Mr.. Nazro is pioneer in a new pro-
fession. He was graduated from Har-
ward in 1897. having taken a degree in
lanscape agriculture and specialized in
laying out recreation grounds. He
studied later i'll England; France and
Italy. His first berth was as the well
fare manager of the Plymouth Cordage
company at North Plymouth, Mass.
He improved the landscape, designed
new homes for the employees, arranged
for a library, luncheon house and re-
creation ground and organized an ath-
letic association and other clubs among
the working people. He' was called
from this TO go to Panama to plan for
the recreation and physical betterment
of the Americans who are at work
on the canal.

STOLEN GOLD AWAITS KEE
Chinese Convicted of "SWeatirg''
Coins Is Sentenced--Ric1es
Are in Orient

Sing Kee, a Chinese who was recently
indicted by the federal grand jury OF
the charge Of Sweating" gold coins
pleaded guilty yesterday before Judge
Wellborn of the United States circuit
court and was sentenced to year in
the county jail, after which he is to be
deported.
The Chinese was brought to Los An
geles from San Diego for trial At his
preliminary hearing before Commits
sioncr Van Dyke evidence was given
which showed that the Chinese had
learned the process of sweating the
coins from a dying tramp and had been
practlcing the art for many years.
After he had collected II sufficient
amount Of gold, Sing Kec would mix it
with Il box of sand and ship the box
and all back to China. There is no
means of estimating the amount of
gold that the Chinese has waiting for
him In China. When he is released from
jail ut the end of his sentence he will be
deported. and by means of the stolen
gold may be enabled to live like i
prince in China.

ECCENTRIC BUT WISE

Joseph Chamberlain, one OF England's
political leaders, is out with his state
ment of the platform of the opposition
party in the coming elections. In il
lie urges doctrines which have upset
the conservative little isle and have
shaken the kingdom from end to end
Chamberlain, first of all, would place
entail trade factors toward the home
country, He would to do this, put in
force a tariff on English imports-thus
upsetting the whole fabric of English
commercialism-free trade. This tariff
he would have so adjusted that the
lower rate than would imports from
aliens. In his own words:
Il believe our objects can be fully
attained by a moderate general tariff
scientifically adapted to the existing
conditions of our trade and so arranged
as to secure the largest amount OF en-
ployment at fair wages for our people.
1 would necessarily provide for the
free admission of raw material and of
articles which we do not market our
selves, while it would place a toll on
the manufactures of those countries
which do not treat us fairly"
Chamberlain is the most rabd, &C.
centric and just at present discredited
&C English leaders. His ideas COM
mand attention only because of their
radicalism and eccentricity Yet It is
seen that even Chamberlain, in his
widest, is saner than is the Repub-
lican party, on the tariff. Recognizing
the prime evil of our system, he de-
clares emphatically against duties on
raw products and on articles England
does not produce. The heavy assess
ment on raw materials and things we
do not produce are the greatest burden
our tariff forces on us. He would place
toll on manufactures OF countries
not treating England fairly. We have
that same weapon, i'm the form of
reciprocity, but IL rusts unused i'm it's
scabbard.
Mr., Joseph Chamberlain, in England.
, is termed mountebank. It might be
wise for a few Of our Republican
leaders, however TO fall into an in1i-
tation of some of his follies, and thus
learn a modicum OF wisdom.

"A mantle of white. AS low down as
Pampa there was snow, while at the
summit and about Tehachapi, Walk

to fifteen inches of snow fell.
The depth of snow is almost without
parallel in the history Of Kern county.
The continuance of the cold snap has

water in the streets were covered with
ice that easily bore the weight of a
man. The weather is clear and crisp

Much interest was manifested by the
