Washington, D. c.. March O.-The
Navy Department has had its atten-

respondents in various parts Of the
country to the advertisement Of pat.
ent medicine companies which are
publishing in connection with the ex-
poitation of their nostrums the testi-
monials together with the portraits of
leading naval officers. There is no
way of preventing this sort of public
ity, providing the officers themselves
authorize the use of their names and
photographs, but in each case the
Navy Department is asking if such
authority has been given. and point
ing ont that in any event it would be
we'll for the dignity of the service
that the people prominently touted"
in these advertisements promptly ex
press their disapproyal of such pub
licity. 1t is likely that this form of
advertising will be prohibited by the
officers who are the chief victims

Warrington, ID. O., March 20 No
action will be taken in the Navy De-
partment toward the preparation Of a
report on the cost of armor plate pro-
duction This information was called
forth at the last session of Congress,
but nothing was said in the Naval
Appropriation Bill of the date when
this report should be presented. 1t
would require several months to make
an exhaustive and complete study of
the armor plate situation as it is to-
day, although probably boaId of in
vestigatiop would be aided 70 some ex-
tent by the report on the same ques-
tion compiled several years ago. 1t
is evident that no steps will be taken
this year, at any rate, toward the es.
tablishment of government plant for
the manufacture of armor, and most
officials believe that with the policy
of economy which now prevails and is
likely to prevail in the iDcreae of the
navy it will not be deemed profitable
for the government to embark in the
production of armor, especially at the
current prices, which are considered
reasonable. Some nf the officers of the
navy are in favor of a government
armor plate factory, bat il is consid-
cred that the supply of the material
by contract is sufficiently controlled
by the Navy Department. and that no
advantage would be gained by estab-
fishing a government plant

Pittsburg. Pa March 20. The ex-
ports from the. United States of iron
and steel manufacturers during the
month of February broke all previous
monthly records. Almost ii, SOC tons
of wire, nails and iron pipe were
shipped abroad last month through
New York and other Eastern seaboard
points, the largest consiguments ever
made TO foreign countries in any Que
month in the history of the trade.
The shipments of steel rails and billets
were exceptionally heavy, aggregating
a shade under 90, 0c0 tons Ia addi.
tion to these huge shipments, big lots
went overland to tie Pacific coast for
export to the Far East and consider
able quantities were also sent abroad
from Southern ports. Besides reaching
the high water mark, the February
exports were interesting because of the
fact that the port of New York
handled more than the combined ship
ments made through Philadelphia and
Baltimore.

Presidential Range Sold.

The famous Presidential range in the
White mountains changed ownership
recently, as the result OF a case which
has been pending for the past month in
the United States circuit court. The suit
involves property worth many millions
of dollars. In December, 1908, the
Mount Washington Lumber company
entered into a contract with Otis h..
Smith, Robert Osgood and Others by
which the title to the presidential range
property was to be conveyed to the
Mount Washington Lumber company.
Last December suit was brought to compel
them to carry out the terms of the con-
tract. The property involved contains
nearly 100, 900 acres of timber and one OF
the most noted mountain ranges in the
country. The new owner will be the New
Hampshire Timber and Land company.

Helen Keller's Break Down.

The reported breakdown ofMiss Helen
Keller, the deaf and blind girl whose
marvellous accomplishment of educa-
ton has so astonished the world, is not
received with surprise. Through the
slow years in which that beautiful spirit
has laboriOusly struggled to the light
and by painful process rent the veil of
dormant senses, she has performed feats
of effort that might well be calculated
to weaken the strongest constitution.
The most touching feature OF her
present collapse is that she surrendered
her strength in the devoted labor of help
ing those afflicted with misfortune SINH
lar&o her own. Since the completion Of
her collegiate education she has been
active in attending meetings andin carry
ing on a general educational work tor the
blind and deaf.
Hers has been one OF the most extra
ordinary examples of spiritual heroism
of which the world has known, and that
her devotion to her fello w-sufferers should
have resulted in the loss of her own
health must awaken universally the
profoundest sympathy.-[ Boston Globe.

Summer In Mldwinter.

Prof. Willis L. Moore, the head OF the
government weather bureau at Washing
ton, is quoted as saying that the heat
wave that swept over the northern and
eastern part of the country at the begin
ming of the third week in January lis
the result of an unusual distribution of
atmospheric pressure, leaving deficiency
over the continent of North America and
a complementary excess of air in some
other part of the globe. This means" he
said, "that the air is banked up in one
part of the globe and withdrawn in
another" But neither Chief Moore nor
any other official could tell what part OF
the globe it is that affected monopoly
in American air. Nor did he know what
caused the corner in the air. Nobody
knows" he said, "All the theories break
down. There are plenty of them, but
they are merely guesses. A fayorite one
is the presence or absence of sunspots.
The trouble with that theory is that it
is used to explain hot summers, cold
winters and warm winters. Then there is
the theory that the Gulf stream is chang
ing it's course. Even if it did that would
not afford the explanation. The Cult
stream has not nearly so much to do
with our climate as some suppose. 1t is
not the Gulf stream which makes west
ern Europe warm, it is the ocean. II
the Gulf stream was not there the ocean
would do its work just the same" In
short, according to Professor Moore,
science has not got to the point OF
determining what causes hot and cold
spells.
THE climate isn't changing" he said.
chat is, it changes in geologic period,
but it doesn't change appreclably in one
mans lifetime. 1t changes in 10000
years or so. Whenever there are a few
warm winters or cool summers people
say that the climate is changing. Their
along comes a cold winter and confounds
them"
No general tendency in the winter
temperatures is indicated by the records
After the weather bureau officials hac
given up the solution of the problem o
this warm winter, Prof. Simon New
comb, the eminent astronomer, wa'
appealed to.
1.-THE reason it is so warm" said he
sis that we are having hot spell. Thai
is all l know about it, and it is all any
body knows about it."

Timber Decreasing.

A we'll uniformed business man in
speaking of the rapid disappearance of
timber lands in this country says that
one acre of timber is required to make
the paper for one edition of the Sunday
New York World while the Hearst
papers use 800 tons Of pulp per day and
it would require 10 mills-of 1000 herse-
power each to produce the paper. The
Fall Mountain Paper Company OF Bel
lows Falls furnish most OF the Hearst
paper stock. He says there is law in
Portugal whereby two trees have to be
planted for every one cut down, thus
perpetuating the forests. He believes
some such law will be necessary in this
country within few years or some
other process for making ne wspapers will
have to be invented. Among the avail
able products is tale and the paper for
the New York Herald is now made
from tale, mined by the company at
Granville.

A Hymn of Devotion.
For the New Year of Our Lord.

For the New year OF our Lord.
Only thee follow,
Jesus, man divine,
Lord of highest heaven.
Earth's true king, and mine.
How thy love doth draw me,
DYING US to win,
Lamb of God most holy,
Bearing all our sin.
Not afar follow.
Nearest friend and best;
In that hand once pierced
Mine is ever pressed.
Let me not forget thee,
Nor with clouded face
Look upon thy beauty.
Full of truth and grace.
Not alone follow.
For all souls are thine;
Teach me how to serve them
With love divine.
When thou goest seeking
For the faint and lost,
Let me still keep near thee,
Sharing all the cost.
Naught Joy or sorrow
Shall from thee divide;
Naught of1ight or darkness
Turn me from my guide.
Daily gains and losses,
All shall purge my soul;
Earthly crowns and crosses,
All shall make me whole.
So e'en here kingdom
This my heart shall be,
Blessed Lord and Master,
Only, all for thee.
And beyond deaths portal
There shall surely come
Vision beatific,
Glory, service, home.

ANOTHER LIBEL
AGAINST THE
MARGHER|TA
Pilots Association Files a Suit
and Asks that Bond Be
Placed at $4,000.

Another libel suit against the dis
abled Austrian steamer Margherita
was filed in the United States court
Yesterday. 1t was by the Pensacola
Bar Pilots Association, and while no
specific amount is named the attor-
news fling the suit asked that the
steamer be compelled to give bond
in the sum of $4,000, so some idea
of what une pilots expect can be form
ed.
The libel is for salvage. The bill
as fled by Maxwell & Reeves, states
that On last Sunday the pilot boat Pl'
lot was cruising some twelve miles
off Pensacola bar when two steamers
we're sighted struggling in the teeth
of a storm, one in tow OF the other;
tAey were in a heavy sea. apparently
and in great distress.
II is related by the association that
the steamers could make no headway
against the storm, in fact could not
hold their own. and Notwithstanding
the efforts a. the R1phngton whlctl
had the MargheTita in tow, they were
carried to within four uftfes OF the
shore and would have been beacAed
hut for the fact that the Edlot, upon
being signalled, went to their as
sistance.
II IS then related in the bill that
the Margherita YVES towed to a point
off the bar and allowed to remain
there for the night and the following
morning brought safely into port. For
thss service the assoc ation of pilots,
&c owners of the Pilot. asked for far
and Just compensation for services
rendered.
