Clay Bottom for East River.

"Blanketing'' the bottom of the East
river Is the latest feat Of the engineers in
charge Of the Pennsylvania tunnels Four
strips of clay, fifty feet wide, are to be
stretched from the foot of East 34th street,
New York. to Hunters Point. directly over
the lines where the tubes are being bored.
Passengers on the Long Island ferry boats
landing at the foot of East 34th street
were treated to the sight of boiling geysers
from tunnel blowouts yesterday. Two hum
dred and fifty feet from the end of the
southern slip over the line of D tube of
tunnels. being constructed by Pierson &
Son, contractors, boiling cauldron, fifty
feet in diameter, drew all eyes in that di-
rection. Small boats coming within the
influence yof the spouting water were har-
ried about as though caught in a mael-
strom and thrown to one side with great
force. Ferry boats steered clear of it.

ALIENS ARE DEPORTED
FOLLOWING DECISION OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

An important question respecting the i'm
portation Of labor from Mexico into the
United States for work on railroad con-
struction in Texas has been determined nv
the Department of Justice at the instance
OF the Department Of Commerce and La
Dor. The question was whether men en-
ployed as laborers on ordinary railroad
construction were skilled" or "unskilled"
in the meaning Of the law. It has been
decided that the men are "unskilled, Ia
borers and that, therefore, they cannot un-
der the law be admitted into the country
under contract.
On June 8, 1906. Doreteo Arrelanes. a
Mexican, applied for admission at Ell Paso.
Tex, and was debarred by a board of
special inquiry on the ground that he was
contract laborer and that his entry into
the United States was in violation of the
immigration act approved March 8, 1903.
An appeal was taken at the instance of
J. E. HUT. who has contract to furnish
labor to the Atchison. Topeka and Santa
Pacific railroad and the Fort Worth and
Denver City railroad, all east of Albuauer-
que, N. M, and George H. Mosher, who
mas similar contract for the Atchison,
buquerque as far as the Pacific coast. On
June %. 1905, Sebastial Sotelo was denied
admission at Ell Paso by board of special
inquiry under the alien contract labor law
An appeal was taken at the instance of
the Ben Heney Company of Tucson, Ariz
which has contract to furnish labor for
the Southern Pacific railroad between Ell
Paso and San Jose on the coast line and
to Fresno on the valley line. The uues-
ton involved the construction of the term
skilled labor In section Of the immi-
grafton act Of March 3, 1903, it being con-
tended by the appellants that laborers ordi-
n ho nctv
maintenance Of the tracks Of railroads were
skilled laborers within the meaning of the
term as used in the act. and that if labor
OF like kind could not be found unem-
ployed In the United States laborers of this
class could be imported into the United
States under contract.
The Department of Justice says: II en-
terrain no doubt, however that ordinary
hands commonly employed in the construc-
ton and maintenance Of the tracks Of rail-
roads are not skilled laborers within the
meaning of the immigration act of March
3, 1903. Having reached the conclusion
that they are not skilled laborers, it fol-
lows from what have previously said that
such laborers may not be imported into
this country under contract in any event."
Immediately on receipt Of the opinion
Acting Secretary Murray of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor dismissed the
appeals of the aliens and ordered them to
be deported.

Capt Spacil, an Austrian officer, Is
now dealing with the energy problem
He concludes that to impart a muzzle
velocity of 500 meters a second to a
pro5actile to be shot from a typical gun
would require 500 coils of $4,000 yards
of copper wire, weighing 420 Kilograms,
and, at Isl volts a coil, a current ener-
gy Of 54.3O0 kilowatts. These are the
same figures that Birkeland gave fol
his gun, which was to hurl projectiles
of 1000 Kilograms with a velocity OF
800 yards a second, for which he want
ed 1920. 900 kilowatts at 5000 volts.
No power station in existence could
produce anything like this energy, but
considering that the energy would be
required for only fraction of sec
ond, special machines might be devised
for this purpose Birkeland suggested
that the primary generator should con-
sist of a powerful electromagnetic which
was TO be shot py explosive power
through coils wound round a copper
tube. He thus proposed to start from
explosive energy in order to obtain,
after three conversions, electro mag
netic energy for the propulsion of pro-
jectiles. Spacil thinks that ways could
possibly be found TO move large coils
at high speeds in rectilinear paths so
as to avoid troubles from centrifugal

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
lie Digestine Element Left Out.

The Digesting Element Left Out
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the inteStineS, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided a curious deposit
which Is turned into diastase when it is
subjected to the saliva and to the pam
creatic juices in the human intestines
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannon
readily sell dark -four, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that ma
ture intended
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go SO contrary
to natures law. The food experts thar
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in a perfect
~ natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside ingredients
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen On the pieces OF

by the too free use Of starch in the
