BROKEN BLADES
BY SHOVEL FULL
NAVAL ENGINEER SEES DANGER
IN USE OF TURBINES FOR
BATTLESHIPS.

Washington, April 1O.-'T saw
broken blades taken out Of the tur-
hines by the shovel full" said a na.
val engineer in speaking of the per-
.fOrmance of the new motors OF sons
of the ocean liners with which it i5
proposed to equip our new battle
ships.
"The engineers knew at the time
taht the slender blades were being
torn off as the turbines spun around
at the rate Of a thousand revolutions
per minute, but no repairs were pos.
sible while the shin was under way,
and it vas only when the castings
were removed in port that the ex-
tent of the damage was ascertain
able"
The subject is one Of absorbing
interest to naval engineers. for not
withstanding what has already been
accomplished I'm the adaptation OF
the steam turbine 10 merchant ships,
naval officers feel that the device
is still to some degree in the eX-
detrimental stake. so in the prep
aration of proposals for the con-
struction Of the two battleships al
ready authorized the department
has taken the precautiOn to place
the responsibility for the contractors
Fv inviting them TO submit plans
for ships Of a certain speed with
Gther turbine or recipTOcatlng en-
zines. Experiments have been going
On which so far have shown that
the cause of the breakage is the vi
bration that is set up in the slender
blades bv the high steam pressure
and excessive speed Of rotation.

1ARGE CRU1rB OF COMFORT.

If it is too hot for you, if it is too wet for you, if your summer business doesn't go to suit you, if you have no summer business, if you can't have a vacation, if you have too many mosqui- toes and feas, if your girl doesn't ap- preciate you at your true value, if you are worrying about whether you are a Democrat or not if your baseball nine has just unnecessarily or dlsgracefully lost a game, If you aren't winning in the game of life, and if you have other troubles, you can have at least one crumb of comfort, and that isn't a small one. You don't live in Russia. Ireland used to be the most distressful country, but Russia is more distressful than Ireland ever was. Be thankful that you live in this land of the free and home of the brave, where there isn't going to be any more bad meat for sale, where there will be ice next winter, and where the people rule when they really want to and make the nec- essary effort.

The cruelty and danger of football have been so clearly perceived and so heartily condemned that there is seri- ous talk of reform in football. But there is no movement yet to make the great national game of baseball more humane and less dangerous. The base ball season Is only about half over, and yet so far twelve men have met their death as a result of the game and over twenty have been seriously in- jured, some fatally. This is but a par tial list. And the list of those hurt does not include the many broken legs, fingers, arms and noses.
 Some of the worst things that have happened in baseball this year are the following: In the Texas State League an umpire had his skull crushed by players, who, protesting against his decision, lost control of themselves. On July at Cumberland, Maryland, players in the Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maryland League got into a fight over decision. Eddy sapp, a Butler see- ond baseman, was hit over the head with two bats. A riot followed, in which many were hurt. sapp is still in the hospital in critical condition, and some of the crowd are still in jail. At Bedford Indiana, July 8, a West Baden player resented the roofing by a negro and fight followed. The negro had his head split open with bat, He is in a serious condition.
 It is interesting to notice that no men in the big leagues have been killed, Something serious has happened to the Boston Americans, but it is not beIiev- ed that they are really dead.

While big game, such as deer and East Shore mosquitos, is increasing in highly civilized Connecticut, the big game of semi-civilized and savage Af- rica is rapidly decreasing. Attention has been directed repeatedly to the in- discriminate destruction of all kinds of big game which has been going on for years In all parts of Africa. Various ef- forts have been made to put stop to it-with some measure of success in certain districts-but in South and Central Africa the butchery, it is said, has been worse than ever lately Some of the finest and most valuable species of animals, elephants, giraffes, the larger antelopes, etc., are threatened with utter extinction by the pot-hunt- CTS. The natives, also, have been reck- less in their slaughter since they have learned the value of a white market. A vigorous effort is now to be made by the Natal legislature to put an end to the evil so far as that colony and her province of Zululand are concerned.
 A bill has been introduced into the Natal parliament absolutely forbidding the destruction, even under special per- init from the governor, of the elephant, white rhinoeeros, eland COW, roan ante lope. buffalo. or koodoo COW. Any one who wishes to obtain a permit to shoot hippop5tamous, black Fhinocerous, buff falo. koodoo, or eland bulls must pay sums varying from $75 to $50 for this privilege.

Has Sampled Snakes, Puppies, Horse,
 Live Fish, Bear, &c. A man who, according to What To Eat, professes to have eaten more diff ferent kinds of foods in more different climes than any other man living to- day, or than any other man that ever Lived in any other time, is Colonel Newham Davis of London.
 T was dining once with a Japanese family in Tokio," says the colonel "when queer covered dish was Drought to the table. The servant re- moved the cover, disclosing a live fish wriggling and Hopping inside the dish.
 "They then proceeded to kill it be- fore my eyes and offer me portion to eat. I did so, too. It was of pecu- liar taste, but not unpleasant.
 Next to Japan, China offers the greatest array of marvellous dishes. Eggs forty or fifty years old. which havo been buried for those periods in clay, are held to me the greatest del- icacies in the empire The longer the egg is inferred the finer it Is supposed to be. The Chinese egg that is sent to the table is almost black and it's flavor reminds one of an overripe egg that has been hard boiled and then served. "I have eaten many disagreeable things in China-merely for the expe- rience, of course. Among these were sta slugs, a sort of oyster and fat tened puppy. The most disagreeable, however, was a bit of cold pigs liver wrapped around prune. There was no escape for me from eating this, though l tried to avoid it. My neigh Dor at the table picked up the liver and the prune with his chopsticks and held them before my lips. I could do nothing but open my mouth and allow i the combination to be inserted, be- cause 1t is considered a signal honor in the Celestial kingdom to have fellow guest offer you a dainty morsel in the aforesaid manner.

ELEVEN MINUTES, $11.

The Socialists are going to have things about right when they get con- trol of them, and they are giving out some of their encouraging intentions. As things are now people who work are working from eight to eighteen hours day and they are not getting what they think they earn. When the Social ists get hold there wont be any such slaveryas that. M. Jules Guesde, the of cial leader of the Socialist party in France declares that under a Socialistic regime eleven minutes work day from Teach individual would be sufficient to keep the wheels of industry in motion.
 Eleven minutes wouldn't be a long days work, and would leave time for a long days fun. We hope the Socialist programme includes pay at the rate of dollar a minute, so that the workers could have something to pay for their fun with. Eleven minutes, eleven dol lars! would make a good campaign war-cry, and be quite enticing. It ought to bring the votes, and while it might lead to some disappointment at first, the shouters could point calmly and confidently to M Guesdes figures and tell the voters to keep on voting for eleven minutes and eleven dollars till they got them.
