Proposal Given Birth by Conservation Movement Will
Be Given Impetus by Expeditions of President
Roosevelt and Prof Chamberlain.

a project OF international appraisal
Of the natural resources Of the world
is one ambitious proposal which scien-
tifc men have been considering, as a
result Of the conservation movement in
this country.
The University OF Chicago is about
to take the first step toward gathering
up accurate information about the nat
uraI wealth Of the Far East. Prof. T.
c. Chamberlain, head professor OF geoI-
oGy OF that institution and one Of the
worlds foremost authorities in gecl-
ogy and the cosmic sciences. will leave
early in the new year for China, with
the purpose Of making an investigation
of the natural resources OF that coun-
try, concerning which for many cen
turies, there has been great divergence
OF opinion.
Prof Chamberlain's investigation in
China Will necessarily be preliminary.
1t win contemplate a genera. survey
Of geological structure and conditions
and a view OF the present status of re-
sources IN that country. Later. with
this general view al hand. experts VIII
be sent to work out the detailsi 81
that In time something like a geological
and scientific survey OF the vast empire
viii be at hand.
Thus far the scheme OF international
and inter-unlversity cooperation in such
a great undertaking has been consider
ed only in its general aspects. Dr.
Walcott, former director Of the United
States Geological Survey and now head
or the Smithsonian Institution, has had
IN mind the ambitious enterprise OF a
geological survey OF South America
For this purpose he has been interest
ing some Of the wealthy men Of this
country. and scientific men understand
that there is prospect Of getting the
money and making the international
agreemets which would be preliminary
TO the actual achievement. The name OF
steel millionaire. which is known all
over the world. has been mentioned as
the probable backer Of this South Amer
lean movement
Europe's Resources.
The natural resources OF Europe are
well understood; those or Australia are
now being listed and appraised by the
commonwealth government. Africa and
Asia present the most difficult prob
lens. An American+Belgian expedition,
which has for two years been making
an Industrial survey OF the Congo valley,
Is about TO return 10 this country by way
Of Belgium. It has gathered a vast
amount Of Information about a fabulous
ly rich section Of the least known part
OF Africa. whose forests and minerals
are certain one day to contribute Io-
the repIenishment Of the exhausted re-
sources Of other sections
Members OF this expedition include S.
H. Ball, NJ. K Shaler and Arthur
Smith, OF the United States Geological
Survey. They secured leaves OF absence
in order 10 make the trip IN Africa,
which was made primarily in the in
terest OF the Ryan-Gugge syndi-

including King Leopold. Since the eX-

A LONE PATRIOT.

Last year the town of Yaphank, a
village of 900 inhabitants, voted not to
celebrate the Fourth of July There
was only one objector to this decision,
and that was the village cooper. He
announced that he should go it alone,
and when the time arrived he kept
his word.
At daylight on the morning of the
Fourth he arose and walked ont and
shouted for General Washington.
At sunrise he shot off a frecracker
and hurrahed for Liberty.
After breakfast he paraded through
the village with small American flag
and screeched for the Continental con
gress.
At O'Clock he drank a glass of
lemonade and hurrahed for General
Gates.
At 10 he shot off another cracker
and shouted for Bunker Hill.
At II more lemonade.

dren and hurrahed for Mad Anthony
Wayne and Ticonderoga.
At clock another parade with the
flag.
At hurrahs for Valley Forge.

MARINE

The Matson liner Lurline leaves to-
day for Hilo to unload a quantity of
freight and load sugar and other prod
uets for the Coast. Among the items
of freight for Hilo are materials and
trucks for new cars for the new Hilo
breakwater contract. The vessel will
return here to complete her cargo and
leave on October 10.
A New Pacific Liner.
The steamship Orcoma, which ar
rived in the Mersey recently from the
yard of Messrs. William Beardmore &
Co., Dalmuir, marks a considerable ad-
vance both in size and passenger equip
ment on any steamer so far built for
her owners. The passenger accOmmo-
dation provides for $50 irst-elass, 220
second. 800 intermediate, and a large
number of third-class. On her prelim-
mary trial during the run round from
the Clyde the speed attained was
seventeen and a half knots per hour.
The Orcoma is $40 feet long, by 81
feet beam, by 40 feet deep, and has a
tonnage of 1900. She has electric
lifts which connect five decks, electric
lights, electric ovens and electric
bread -kneading machines, electric glass
and plate washers, and electric clog
fires; an electric bacon cutting contri-
vance, as well as an electric laundry,
and an electrically whistle.
She has electric ventilating fans, for
use in the tropics. The Orcoma began
her maiden voyage from Liverpool on
August % and en- route to the Pacific
will touch at the usual ports of call on
the Continent, viz: La Rochelle-Pal-
lice, Corunna, Vigo, Leixoes (Oporto),
and Lisbon.
Fleets Coal Economy.
WASHINGTON I'd. CO., September
17.-Nearly 100000 will be saved in
the cost of coal for use by the Atlantic
fleet from Rio de Janeiro home as a
result of experience in the economy of
coal consumption gained by the cruise.
The estimate is made by officials of the
Navy Department based on a cable
gram received today from Rear Ad'
miral Sperry prior to his sailing from
Albany for Cavite.
Admiral Sperry requests the depart
ment to reduce its estimates for coal
on the voyage from Manila to the east
coast by 5000 tons. About 10000 tons
of coal was the estimated amount for
the fleets use from Manila to Hamp-
ton Roads. The saving is approximate
lv twenty per cent. The coal is to be
delivered for the fleet at Manila to
take aboard after visiting Japan and
China to Colombo and at Negro bay,
opposite Gibraltar on the African coast.
Metcalf has decided in order to fur
Their stimulate competition in the mat
ter of coaling to ask Congress to au-
thorize the payment. of $4,000 in prizes
to be distributed between the two or
three ships making the lowest percent
age in coal consumption.

Holcombe, or Geer, or whatever his last name happens to be, is languish- ing. It seems that the Imprisonment is so severe that Louis has no mean of communicating with the outside world except through the kind-heart- ed chaplain of the prison, who, it is explained, will receive any answers to the letter and give them to Louis.
 In closing, Louis writes as follows:
 AS you will see my anxiety until have letter from you, as there are much interest of the French author ities 1 will be sent there, she can be victim of (illegible words), al- though think it would not serve foI my wounds. As far the lawsuit that here follows me, 1 think it very con venient when you receive this letter and if you accept my propersition, if you will answer me soon and your let ter will arrive to me with two covers, the inside one to my name and the outside of her to the following ad- dress: Spain, Procincia de Madrid, ST D. Jose Marros, Colmenar Viejo. This is the address agreed to by my good protector, thanks to whom can write to you and who shall for ward to me your letter with all se- curity. Hoping to obtain your reply by return of post, if possible, I re- main, sir,
 Yours very sincerely" etc
 The portion of the letter quoted above is good example of the en. tire communication and is apparent ly the work of some one of Spanish birth, for the construction of the sen- tences show the Spanish influence, Many of the words indicate the same thing For instance in the part quot ed, particular" is the Spanish form 'and is used where in English we would commonly say private
 The letters being exactly alike ex- cept for the portion relating to the person addressed are evidently writ ten by one person and the sirname, Holcombe, Geer. Burpee or Harper, is filled in in a slightly different hand- writing. As piece of fiction the letter is very interesting but it would seem that such scheme could now be seldom successful in this part of the country, for it has been tried for years. It will be noticed that no demand is made for money in this first letter. Captain Burpee said yes terday that he sent q decoy answer to q similar letter many years ago and in reply he received word that matters at the prison had become worse. so that the writer did not even have a small supply of money with which to send his beautiful daughter to America, but if the recipient would forward the money, it would certainly be more than made good to him when the fortune in the London bank was divided.
