McCumber Bill UnsOund.

Comrade Samuel Huffman, Co. H,
33d Ohio, Lincoln, Mo, considers the
McCumber law unsound; that it defers
increase too long. He states that all
know that the great body of the volun-
teers of 81 were youths; in his COM
pany four-fifths were under the age of
21; it was so in the regiment, and the
regiment did not differ from others.
Those boys went in at the beginning,
fought the battles for three years, then
re-enlisted and fought the rebellion to
its death and put it into its grave. Those
volunteers went to war boys, and came
home men-men broken in health, with
seeds of lifelong disabilities ineradica-
bly, implanted in their bodies They
went to the defense of the Union solely
from patriotism-love of country, not
a thought of pay or pension. AS the
war went on older men Joined the
army; often to evade the disgrace of
draft; often for big bounty. These es-
capped much of the greatest hardships
of service, the Government becoming
ever better able to provide for it's men,
1t was the first to the front who had
greatest hardships to endure.
The National tribune., 1907-12-26
PHOTOGRAPHING MARS.

DR.. S. A. Mitchell gives us some idea
Of the difficulty of photographing the
stars. and which tends to shake ones
belief in the statements as to discov-
cries on those planets. He says that a
huge camera with a lens Is inches i'll
aperture and 25 feet in focal length
gives a picture of Mars when nearest
the earth, and consequently largest, of
only one millimeter in diameter, or
about the size of a pin head. Such a
picture can be enlarged, but into this
process go all of the difficulties attend
ing the enlargement of photographs,
and with it the uncertainties of results.
Any disturbances in the air blurs the
photograph and confuses the fine de-
essary to photograph Mars the light
from it has to travel thru unnumbered
miles of the earth atmosphere, which
we know to be in a state of constant
unrest, as is shown by the twinkling of
the stars. Great expectations are en-
tertained of the examination of 1000
Photographs of Mars which were taken
by Prof. Todd and his assistants on
peak of the Andes $4,000 feet above
sea level, with a splendid lens is inches
in diameter made by the celebrated
firm of Alvan Clark & Co. Great ex-
pense and enormous difficulties were
incurred in transporting the lens from
New Hampshire to the peak of the
Andes, and the 1000 photographs av-
erage a cost of over 81 apiece.

Automobile Endurance Tests.

Several endurance tests of automo-
biles have been held recently which
have proved of the greatest value in the
development of what is necessary to
constitute reliable road machines. In
that conducted by the New Jersey Auto
mobile and Motor Club it was required
that each machine should make five
rounds of a 94-mile circuit in "a hours,
without any adjustments and without
stopping the engines. Students from
the Stevens Institute acted as observ-
erS Twenty-one cars started and 4
few of them made the first circuit in
less than three hours. while more than
half completed it in less than four.
One-third of the cars finished with per-
feet scores, second third finished with
penalizations. and the remainder were
thrown out by breakdowns and other
accidents
The second test was held under the
auspices of the Chicago Motor Club,
and consisted of three rounds of about
200 miles each, going from Chicago to
cities 100 miles distant. In this test
there was complaint that the rules were
too severe, and cars were penaliZed on
account of the looseness or slight
breakage of some accessory, such as
a lamp, speedometer or horn. 1t was
admitted that any penaliZation for the
shaking loose of any of the parts of
the cars proper would have been just.
In this only one machine, 80 horse
power Haynes roadster, was found to
have a perfect score. The machine
which Won second place was a six
cylinder Pierce touring car, which was
penalized two points on account of its
having a loose grease cup. An Olds-
mobile touring car came in third, with
six points of penalty for looseness in
various accessories.
Dec. 10 a third test was conducted by
the Automobile Club of Washington
over 11S-mile course in a heavy rain
storm. The roads were in bad condi
tion, but in spite of this % cars fin
ished, out of 26 which started. and 16
of these made perfect scores. A double
opposed cylinder Buick made the fast
est time, covering the entire course in
eight hours and one minute, at an av-
erage speed of IA II miles per hour.
The National tribune., 1907-12-26

in the straits in about 10 years exactly
26 of the vessels lost had names begin
ming with the letter C. Some of the
superstitious fear on that account for
the flagship of the squadron because it
is the Connecticut.
The great danger in the straits lies
from fogs. Ships coming the other way
may be encountered. Every precaution
will be taken, and Admiral Evans, on
whom the great responsibility of getting
the fleet thru safely rests, will take no
chances.
On the western coast of South Amer
lea the fleet will pass by the important
cities of Valparaiso. Callao and Guaya-

Five Classes of BattIeshipx.
Five distinct classes of battleships are
represented in the fleet. popularity
known as the Kentucky, the Alabama.
the Maine. the Georgia and the Con-
necticut class. The newer types come
first in the line.
The Connecticut type, of which the
connecticut. Louisiana, Kansas and
Vermont will be in the first division, are
of $4,000 tons displacement, with
speed of IS knots.
The Georgia class is of $1,000 tons
displacement with a speed of 10 knots
The Maine class is of II, 500 tons, with
speed of Is knots and a coal capacity
of 1000 tons
The Alabama class is of 1850 tons,
with speed of II knots and a coal
capacity of 1900 tons.
Bringing up the rear of the battle
ships will be the Kentucky and Kear-
sarge.
The Kentucky class is of 1850 tons,
with speed of about 16.5 knots and a
coal capacity of 1900 tons.
All of the ships of the fleet are of
distinctly modern type, not one of them
being in existence at the time of the
Spanish War.
Formation of the Fleet.
The following formation of the fleet
for the crews will be valuable for refer
ence:
First Division, First Squadron.
Connecticut-Capt. Hugo w. Oster-
haus Giagship of Rear-Admiral Evans).
kansas-Capt. Charles E. Vreeland.

of the tunnel on the Detroit side is
1875 feet long, with grade of two
per cent. This is sleeper than the grade
on the Canadian side, as the west
bound trains are the lighter. The ap-
proach on the Canadian side is $500
feet long, with a grade of one and one
half per cent. The tunnels will be
drained by (motor-driven pumps, and
the trains taken thru by electric en-
gines to avoid fouling the air. 1t Is
expected that the work will be COM
pleted in a couple of years
At present the river is crossed by
powerful ferries which carry the trains
The five trunk lines-Michigan Central,
and Canadian Pacific-have 10 of these
great boats. Large as they are, they
have much trouble, especially in Win
ter, from the ice foes. At best 80 min
utes are lost in getting the trains across
the river, and this delay runs up from
four to seven hours in handling freight
trains. Sometimes the ice foes jam the
river, and absolutely stop navigation for
hours.
The tubes have been given the most
secure foundation possible by sinking
piles, cutting these off and Gaping
them. The concrete poured in around
them is held in proper form by three
inch oak planking, firmly braced and
backed up with clay and river slime
from the dredges. The concrete has a
thickness of five feet over the tubes, so
that they are encompassed by a solid
monolithic mass. The whole is covered
with rip-rap.
As the trains move only one way in
each tunnel, this will secure perfect
ventilation.

which passes thru the Suez Canal. 4
bridge therefor would be exceedingly
costly to build, and again would be an
endless annoyance in operating so as
not to be an obstruction to navigation.
The depth of the river, something like
so feet has been heretofore a great
obstacle in constructing a tunnel, but
this has been turned to better account
in a very skilful way. The difficulties
of driving a tunnel are that only a
small number of men can work at the
breast" This difficulty is only dimin-
ished somewhat by driving the tunnel
from both ends SO that two squads of
men can work simultaneously. The
plan which the civil engineers of the
Michigan Central have adopted and are
at present engaged in executing is to
build the tunnel on land and place 1t
by sections on the bottom of the river.
At the crossing the river is 2,620 feet
long, or almost exactly one-half mile.
Double steel tubes are built in sections
of 262 feet in length. These are sent
out on specialize constructed floats and
lowered to the bottom of the river,
where a bed has been dug for them at
depth of from 80 to so feet. This will
be far enough under the water to avoid
trouble from shipping. The tubes are
sunk into this and covered with con-
crete. After the tubes are all in place
the water will be pumped out, and then
they will be lined with 20 inches of
concrete. Each tube is % feet four
inches in diameter. The first section
was successfully sunk on the Detroit
side, Oct. /, 1907. After the tubes are
sunk the joint will be roughly bolted
up by divers by means of projecting
fianges, and the union will be sealed
with grout injected under pressure thru
flexible pipes by scows. The approach
