FLYER IN BONDS
WITHOUT A CENT
Express Clerk Bid in 50. 800.
900 Worth of Panamas.
Required Only Nerve and lie Can sell
His Option for n Couple Of
Thousand.
WALL STREET IS ALL AGOG

New York, July 2G.-The identity
OF Samuel Byerey, the successful bid
der for s5.sO0.O00 OF the new Pana-
ma canal per cent bonds, was learn
ed yesterday. Byerley turns out to be
clerk in the accounting department
of the American Express company
Ever since the bids for the bonds
were announced last Saturday. Wall
street has been trying to learn some
thing about Mr.. Byerley and has been
specializing as to the interests behind
his bid. Byerley was not inclined to
answer amy questions yesterday after
he had been located. The treasurer
Of the American Express company
said:
'"This is entirely a personal matter
with Mr.. Byerley. who is one Of our
clerks There is absolutely nothing
in the rumor that he represents inter
ests in the company"
Byerley has almost taken the breath
away from some of his fellow clerks.
He had host of callers yesterday
who wanted TO know how he could af-
ford to bid for $500. 900 of govern
ment bonds, but he had nothing to
say.
The general opinion among those in
the American Express company's Of
fee Is that Byerley is taking a little
flyer, which has not cost him any
thing more tangible so far than nerve
Under the terms of the sale no money
need be put up until August l. Dyer
ley made four bids. For one million
of the bonds he offered slO4.26; for
the second million stOS, 800; for the
third million s1O3,975, and for s2,-
SO, $50 he offered s103,SG7. The
New York syndicate that got one-half
of the 100000. 900 bonds put up a
price on them yesterday OF s1O4.40.
It was figured out by the bond experts
yesterday that should Byerley sell his
option at 104 he would clear s2,S50
without putting up a cent save for
the postage stamp which carried his
bid to Washington.

Tobacco Growing in Hawaii.

Tobacco growing and other agrieul-
tural pursuits in Hawaii are treated OF
in a report that has Just been issued
by the department OF agriculture. The
report goes into great detail as to the
growing OF tobacco and the prepare
tior OF the soil and the curing of the
crop. The results Of a number Of ex-
detrimental plants are given and the
conclusion drawn is that the soil OF
Hawaii and the climate and rainfall
are all adapted TO the cultivation of a
high grade of tobacco on a paying
basis. II is stated that there are lO0,-
900 acres of land adapted to tobacco
growing in Hawaii. with considerable
tracts in the adjacent Islands. The
cost OF producing tobacco is put as Tow
as from two to two and one-half cents
a pound for the green leaf 1t is said
however, that the fields have to be
poisoned before planting owing to the
prevalence of the cut worm, japanese
beetle and other insects. Directions
are given in details for doing this and
the process is said not to be expensive.

Making Fuel From Waste.

II has been estimated that in the
mining of coal, the dust. slack and
screenings represent nearly fourth
of the output of the mines. writes w.
Frank Mcclure in Technical World
Magazine for August. To utilize
these products has long been a prob
lem. The fact that in France. Ger
many and Cardiff, Wales. the utiliza-
tiop OF this waste has been an estab-
lshed industry for years. lent impetus
to the introduction of some>such pan
in America; but European methods, 1t
was found, could not be advantageous
ly adopted here. The advanced price
of coal and the Likelihood OF strikes,
however. have kept the problem of
using waste products TO the front,
until now inventive genius is being
crowned with success ad both anthra-
cite and bituminous fields will ere
long be profiting greatly thereby
A new machine, recently complet-
ed, in its first practical tests at st.
Louis, Mo-, produced from what was
previously considered waste products
eight tons OF fuel in one hours time.
This fuel is IN the form Of briquettes
each oval in shape, weighing three
fourths of pound and being inches
in diameter and TX inches thick.
This is much smaller than the bril-
quettes produced in Europe, which
seldom weigh less than pounds each.
The smaller size insures more perfect
combustion.

has caused some discussion among
naval officers, but the facts made
public were already known by the
officers of the navy, who are inter
ested In naval architecture. There is
no great enthusiasm among many OF
the naval officers in regard to the
construction of a ship which will
equal the Dreadnaught as a sea fight
ing machine. II is pointed out that
the United States now has under con-
struction two ships, the Michigan
and South Carolina. which are equal
to the Dreadnaught in proadslde bat
tie. The latter. however, could fire
six Pinch guns dead ahead, where
as the Michigan and South Carolina
could FIRE but four. II is pointed out,
however, that very little fighting is
done head-on and that the effective
fighting of a battleship is her broad
