Ships to Law Mines.

The San Francisco and the Baltimore
are to pass from the register Of active
fighting vessels to the limited list of
no less valuable ships Of special duty.
We have never had a NINE laying yes
sci; our special ship being, the hospital
ship, the floating machine. shop, the
refrigerator ship for the carrying of
supplies to distant vessels, the GOLFERS,
with their fuel for the furnaces Of the
fighting vessels. and the waterships.
A vessel for the special purpose of
laying mines was suggested by the
naval operations between Russia and
Japan. There are several types of
mina the most effective being that
which explodes by contact, the hand
ling of which is made possible by an
ingeniously simple device. The great
problem has been to have mine
which could easily explode and do its
damage. while at the same time 1T
might be handled somewhat roughly IN
the process of deposit. -.
The contact mine Is exploded by -
vessel passing over or touching a pro-
jectirg bolt. which is easily pressed
down to release an acid which causes
the explosion. While this sort OF
mine is being handled the bolt is pre-
vented from pressure by a wedge q
salt. to which when the mine is SUB.
merged water Is admitted and melte
this substance. -.
When the salt his disappeared the
| bolt is ready for operations, and the
| first ship that comes in contact with
this projection receives shock below
the waterline which puts the vessel
out of commission, if indeed it does
| rot sink the ship.
In our navy there have been :fer
| who are specially trained for laying
| mines, which are carried by vessels and
! taken to the mine fields in the tew Of
small boats. Men become very expert
| in this sort of work, as they are bound
to do in anything by practice; but i
is considered that it would be ad.

In the case Of the San Francisco and

on deck on special racks, which VII

Hitehine the Sun.

Electric power from sunlight ap-
pears more wonderful than Harvesting
the streams or wind. Yet We know
something of the vast heat Of the sun.
Solar engines for operating pumps
have been in use in different parts OF
the earth for several years now, and
their value in warm climates, where
the number Of days Of clear sunshine
averages high, must steadily increase.
One of the most successful of these
solar machines is located near Los
Angeles to irrigate fruit land. An
automatic stand carrying great reflec-
tors follows the course OF the sun as
regularly as the best telescope ever
made. and the suns rays are thus re-
f1ected on a central point, where the
boiler of q small engine is located.
Within an hour after sunrise the neat
Of the sun raises the temperature OF
the water to the boiling point. and
thus creates steam: and the pumping
machinery begins its days work ana
keeps it up until SHUTDOWN.
The power of the sun for heating
has only been family appreciated by
scientists in the past, but the predlc-
ton is made now that if all the coal
should give out We would soon be able
to run much of our machinery from
the power of the sun. With five
hundred mirrors properly arranged to
focus the rays upon one point,
temperature Of more than a thousand
degrees has been obtained. This al
most equals one-fifth the highest tenn
perature recorded by the electric
furnace, which is considered today the
most powerful heating apparatus ever
discovered. AS there is no limit to the
number of mirrors that may be
employed, and as the intensity Of the
heat increases in proportion to the
number of rays reflected by the
mirrors, it Is conceivable that tenn
perature may be obtained in time that
will sufpass anything ever dreamed OF
in the past or present.
Hitching the sun to run electric
motors for furnishing light and power
for our homes and factories is the very
latest achievement OF the modern work
of Harvesting the elements to do mans
work: and one square yard Of sun
shine nj the tropics may represent. on
the average, one horse power.-From
George Ethelbert walsh's "Harnessing
the Elements" in st. Nicholas.

The new theory advanced by l.. T.
Cooper relative to the human st0m-
ach has attracted such widespread at
tention that the public in cities visited
by the young man has been joined by
many physicians in discussion of fl's
beliefs and medicines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon the
stomach He says that no disease can
he CONQUERED without first alternating
all stomach disorders. He further says
that most men and women of this
generation are half-Sick, owing to
degenerate stomachs. And lastly, he
claims that his New Discovery medi-
cine will rejuvenate the human stOm-
ach in 80 days.
Cooper has been travelling from one
city to another. conducting in each
what he calls a campaign of education.
For the past year he has met the
public in the larger cities of the
country, and his success has been
phenomenal. Thousands of people
have fOcked TO his headquarters
wherever he has gone, and the sale of
his medicine has been beyond anything
Of the kind ever before Witnessed.
Possibly the most interesting feature
of the attention this young man has
attracted is what his army Of followers,
whom he has converted to his beliefs
through his medicines, have to say IN
the subject. The following statements
are from two well known residents oi
Chicago and Boston. respectively, and
the enthusiasm of these is character
istic Of Cooper's admirers generally.
Mrs. Fl. r. Mack, Of 1901 State street,

THE PRESIDENT APPROVES
The Relief Measures and Regards the
Crisis as Now Over.

Washington. Oct 24.-President Roose-
welt was today thoroughly informed re-
garding the financial stress in Wall street
and Pittsburg, and is understood to re-
gard the crisis as over, and also to APP
prove of the measures Of relief which
Secretary Cortelyou afforded both cities.
Both Senator Knox and Assistant Sec
rotary of the Treasury Edwards received
direct information from Pittsburg by tel
ephone today which was of most reassur-
ing character. Senator Knox told the
President that all apprehension in that
quarter was dispelled.
Secretary Garfield, who, on his recent
extended Western trip. made financial
conditions special subject of inquiry,
reviewed the situation with the President
at some length. What the secretary
found in the West was also encouraging.
He reported to the President that West
ern bankers have gradually been divorc-
ing themselves from Wall street influ-
ences until they are now practically in
dependent Of them, at least to the extent
Of not being embarrassed because Of a
slump in the securities dealt in on the
New York Stock Exchange. Their loans
are largely secured by Western real es-
tate and other local securities and those
which are based on Eastern securities
have largely been readjusted during the
past year on the lower value of the Sc
curittes.
1t was pointed out that had the New
York furry occurred four years ago its
influence would have been widespread
That it can be confined almost entirely
to its source is matter of profound sat
isfaction to the administration.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
corroborated this view of the finances of
the West and added that the crop moving

cally entirely without calling for a dollar
from the East. The system of making
