Warships to BE Funnelless.
One Of the most interesting papers
read before the recent conference OF
the Institution Of Naval Architecture
in London was that which dealt with
1.-THE Influence of Machinery on the
Gun Power of the Modern Warship."
The author claimed that II a large
number Of guns are to be effectively
mounted they must be so placed as to
fire on either broadside. To this end
all deck structures, including tunnels.
must be. abolished, but II tunnels are
to be eliminated steam can no longer
be used. With this In mind the Wick.
ers company have been working on y
system Of gas machinery for propel-
ling ships. They have perfected de.
sign for vessel using an explosive en-.
CINE which will have no tunnels, ana
her speed will be higher than that OF
any existing battleship. While her
dimensions are moderate, her batteries
will be even more powerful than those
of the Dreadnought, since all her ten
guns can fire on either beam and six
ahead or astern. The advantages OF
such a change were generally conced-
ed to be great, and some believed that
such a transformation of warships
was q matter of the near future.

Panic prevailed in the Roumanian
capital, Bucharest, when 1t was learn
ed that 1000 armed peasants were
marching on the city, and preparations
for a siege were made hastily. Several
other places had already been plum
dered by the nobs, and marauders had
spread terror over the land. At first
the uprising was wholly agrarian, the
peasants demanding cheaper land and

Of widespread organization of tan-

Foraker and Taft Booms.
On March 26 Senator Joseph B.
Foraker of Ohio came out with for
NAL statement which was construed as
rebuke to the announcement previ-
ously made by State Insurance Com
missioner Vorys that the Republican
sentiment in Ohio was unanimously In
favor of Secretary Taft for president.
Forake said tnat it was. his intention
at the proper time to request the Re-
publican state committee to issue a
call for state convention for the pur-
pose not only Of nominating candidates
for state Offices, but also to indicate
the preference OF the Republicans Of
the state as to candidates for United
States senator and for president He
said further that there should be suff1-
cient time between the issuance Of the
call and the primary elections to allow
Of a thorough public discussion of the
questions involved. fu -,.ar
This was considered as equivalent to
challenge to the Taftites to a public
debate. Later the statement was made
from Washington that this challenge
ON the part of Foraker was made only
after the failure Of plan for an agree
ment between the forces Of Taft and
Foraker by which the former was to
have the state delegates to the presi-
dental convention. provided Foraker
should be allowed to remain In control
of the state political machinery and his
reelection to the United States senate
not to be opposed. These overtures, it
was said, were rejected by Secretary
Taft.
Hearst Recount Bill Passed.
The New York assembly passed the
bill for a recount of the votes in the
New York city mayoralty election Of
1905, by vote of 118 to Fl, this meas
ure having been demanded by the de-
feated candidate, W. r. Hearst, and
Endorsed by Governor Hughes. The
bill is expected to pass the senate.
Carnegie Defends Administration.
After lunching with the president at
Washington Andrew Carnegie gave out
an interview in which he said that the
president was the best friend the rail-
roads had. He meant by this that If
the railroads did not accept the mod
crate measures advocated by the ad-
ministration they might be confronted
with a much more radical administra-
ton.
In a speech at the dinner of the mill
tary telegraph corps in New York on
March % Mr.. Carnegie said he would
drive all stock gamblers out Of bust
ness If he could. AS business man
he said he had never made dollar by
gambling with stock and that he would
as soon gamble with cards. He thought
it was time for the business men to
rise and decline to recognize those
who make money and give no value
for it. He said he was born to pow
erty, but would not exchange with the
richest millionaire's SON that ever
breathed. He said he had lived on
both sides and that there was very lit.
tie that wealth could add to human

ed were rare.

Fer All Steel Passenger Cars. t.''s
A special committee Of the Pennsyl-
sania railroad management has re-
ported in favor Of a comprehensive
plan to substitute all steel for wooden
passenger cars on the entire system
wifahin the next three years, and 1t is
proposed to buy and construct 1899
All steel passenger cars, which will
make complete change in all existing
standards of passenger equipment
The cost Of an all steel car such as is
contemplated is $4,000, or about twice
that Of the present wooden car. This
will make the new equipment bill
come to about $50 100000 The plan is
20 have steel cars for every train
which will be operated into the New
York tunnel terminal, beginning with
1909. At the same time the Pullman
company will be required to provide
zoo steel sleeping and parlor cars at a
cost of $4,000 each. 1t appears that
the tunnel will be operated by such
high voltage electric power as to make
the use Of wooden cars dangerous.

73 and 20 bushels per acre, respec-
lively, and it seems, from evidence at
hand, that it is born out in practice,
assuming that each stalk will produce
an ear and 100 ears will shell a bushel
OF grain.
5. Postponing application of fertil-
izers until corn is given its second
cultivation. In ordinary practice this
would be about the time corn should
be worked the third time. The stalk
has been checked or "stunted" as de-
sired and the fertilizer is applied
when the plant needs it for the devel-
opment of the ear.
6. Intentional retardation of early
growth of the stalk until it's size is re-
duced one-half or one-fourth it's nor
NAL development.
Z. Augmented development of the
ear, following retardation in stalk de-
velopment, by cultivation and heavy
applications of fertilizers made at, ap-
propriate intervals.
Since the Williamson plan corn is
planted to inches below the level
and is laid to inches above the
level, there is eight to twelve inches
Of the stalk below the soil surface.
The stalk roots or brace roots are
below the surface when the crop is
laid by and probably perform their
nutritive functions better than would
be if a part of them were exposed to
the air.
Mr.. Williamson recommended the
following amounts of fertilizers ap-
piled to one acre:
For so bushels of corn per acre:
200 pounds of cotton seed meal, 200
pounds of acid phosphate, 400 pounds
of kainit, 1875 pounds of nitrate Of

about $500.
