If Bankers Had Been Trained

CUPPOSE that happily, large majority OF the
~ bankers of the United States had enjoyed
opportunities for gaining an academic knowledge
of the principles OF money and banking, and had
properly utilized these opportunities | believe
the result of such academic training, coupled
with their years of practical experience would be
that the banking community would promptly
recognize the underlying principles upon which
legislation should be based. l believe they would
readily reach substantial agreement in regard the
form of correct legislation.
Congress is not be blamed because have not
wise laws, for Congress cannot be expected to go far
in advance of public opinion. The public is not to
be blamed for failing TO have definite opinions, if
the bankers themselves reach agreement.
| am confident that if we had such agreement
among the bankers as would follow from & thorough
understanding of principles, such crystaized tinan-
cal judgment the part of the bankers would
form with promptncss and precision public opin-
ion winch would be followed quickly by the enact
meut OF wise laws. The enactment of truly sound
and wise banking laws III the United States would.
If YOU could measure the monetary value of such
legislation, be worth this country sum far

THURSDAY. AUGUST 20, 1906.

But the Hamburg-American company
is the largest, and 1t may perhaps be
said to be the most successful steamer
company in the world, and very much
OF its success is due to the manage
ment OF Mr.. Ballou, it's director When
he says that the success of the turbine
engine is not yet sufficiently assured
to justify his company in adopting 1t,
II is evident that the turbine Is not
beyond the experimental stage. But
II unquestionably has two very great
advantages. 1t causes no vibration.
and that ought to tell not only on the
comfort OF passengers. but upon the
durability of the ship ITSELF The ma

pies less space that reciprocating en-
sines. which allows a greater capa-
city for cargo. or. in the case of war
vessels, armor and armament. 1t is
to be hoped that ii will establish its
merits. and then only the perfecting
OF the gas engine. of which there are
already limitations, will be needed to
reduce the weight and bulk og a ships

THE TURBINE ENGINE.
British War Vessels to be Equipped
With New Motive Power.

Turbine engines have so far justified
the predictions Of their inventor that
British war vessels to be built this
year will be equipped with them. and
the admiralty is not in the habit of
getting to the head Of the procession
OF progress. Yet there Is still dispute
about their value.
The Allan line has two turbine
steamers, and they are reported by
the company to- be entirely satisfac-
tory. Yet there are reports that the
company is not entirely candid and
that they have faults which IL is
sought to conceal. But such informa-
ton as the public can obtain Is
strongly in their favor. Two turbine
steamers are running on the Clyde.
and they not only make better time

which was hardly expected of them.
The early reports Of the turbines indi-
Gated that they were rather extrava-
CANT OF fuel These two Clyde steam
ers are said to make more miles on

with reciprocating engines do. Pro
posais were recently invited for a fast
steamer to carry mails between Con-
stsntinople and Alexandria with a
rather narrow limitation on coal con
sumption, and two or three shipbuild.
ing firms offered to build the steamer
with turbine engines and guarantee

The Cunard line has one turbine

PRESERVE THE BUFFALO.
Ernest Harold 6aynes Talks on sour
Grandest American Animal

Srandest American Animal"
Ernest Harold Baynes gave a talk
before the Society of Arts on the
American Bison: Our Grandest Am.
erican Animal" Mr.. Baynes is secre-
tary Of the American Bison Society.
president of which is Theodore
Roosevelt and which count among
their members the governor general Of
Canada. The object of this society
is to promote a public sentiment that
Will influence congress to provide for
the perpetuation Of the American
bison. At present there is a bill be-
fore Congress providing for the APP
preparation OF $4,000 for the main.
tenance of a herd.
Mr.. Baynes said that the bison was
the most numerous of all mammals of
modern times. The numbers that at
one time lived on this continent was
In the millions, and 1t seems remark
able that they could have become al
most exterminated in so short a time
There are but two wild herds of buff
falo in existence today, one in the
Yellowstone National Park and anoth.
er In Canada. There are a few pri-
vate herds, but all Of these are. with
out exception, for sale to anyone who
will pay reasonable price.
Before the white men who are re-
sponsible for this depletion invaded
the West the Indians killed the buffalo
themselves, and depended upon the
buffalo generally for their living.
When the white men came they be-
gan killing the buffalo. and the Indi-
ans were instructed to kill as many as
possible and to bring their hides to the
trading stations. The white hunters
also took up the slaughter and there
are white men living today who have
killed 10000 buffaloes with one rifle.
There Is on record a case where 1900
buffaloes were killed in fifteen min.
utes by hunting party. Whole
herds were exterminated at one time
by driving them over precipices. and
by coralling and slaughtering them by
the wholesale.
Many people ask IL the preservation
OF the buffalo is of any practical val
ne. In an attempt 10 answer this
question satisfactorily. Mr. Baynes
has trained two buffaloes to- work In
harness or under yoke. These ami
mails were exhibited at the Sports
mans Show last fall and are doubtless
remembered by many people. They
have been found to be very tractable
and fully as strong as oxen.
Mr.. Baynes showed various lantern
slides of the domesticated buffaloes
drawing various wagons and carts.
and In one case drawing snow pillow
through snow up to their shoulders.
The buffalo hide Is very much more
valuable than COW hide. and II has
been found possible TO weave their fur
or wool into coarse cloths. Another
valuable use for buffalo IL In crossing
them with our cattle, and so forming
race that Is much stronger. health

rock cuts that are 33 feet deep. Our
contract calls for the completion Of
eight miles of the ditch and if nothing
happens we should be done by the end
