PROFITON SUBMARINES
LILLEY SUBMITS FIGURES TO
SUPPORT HIS ASSERTIONS.

In support of his assertion that more
than 81, 000. 900 of-unnecessary profit had
been paid by the United States govern
ment TO the Electric Boat Company in the
purchase of subma rine torpedo boa IS. and
that similar high profits were contem-
plated in pending contracts proposed TO be
awarded to that company. Representative
Lilley of Connecticut has prepared for
submission to the special submarine in
vestigation committee of the House GER
tain statements comparisons and concIu-
sions.
The statements include extracts from
the hearings before the House naval af-
fairs committee in 1901 and 1902, when
Rear Admiras Melville, o Neil and Bowles
were examined as to the cost of construc-
tion of submarine torpedo boats. In his
statement Admiral O'Neil said that 10
thought 100000 each would be IA very
liberal price for the Holland boats. The
contracts of which MIR. I.ilsy complains
call for a purchase price of S2S5, 900 a
boat.
Admiral Bowles explained that the de-
partment had estimated $125,Ou0 per boat
proper appropria ton.
In note accompanying these quotations
MIR. Liley says:
"Basing calculations upon the figures Of
Admiral Bowles. which he says would
give "a handsome profit to the builders
of the Holland boats-namely $50. 459 for a
l21-ton boat. or s745.45 per ton-it will
readily be seen by comparative state
ments that there has been an extra hand
some profit of 81 5la.13S since the United
States contracted for the first Holland
boat. the Plunger in March. 1899; and 1t
will he seen that the excessive profits to
be made the eight boats which 1t is
now proposed 10 Duy from the Electric
Boat Company would be 81, All so.

The All-Providing Maize.
Milwaukee Wlsconsi'

From California comes an ntimation
of new use for cornstalks-not
sorghum. but the ordinary maize or In
dian corn. Prof. Francis l.. Stewart Of
Murraysville, Pa. has devised a process
for using ordinary cornstalks in the
manufacture of sugar. and has organized
"a company to put 1t into practice in the
Los Angeles section Of southern Cali
fornia The main by-product of the
manufacture will be pulp which can be
used in the manufacture of paper. 1t
Is claimed that sugar can be made from
cornstalks at 'One-haif the price of sugar
equal in quality made from sugarcane or
beets.
The ia. has long been familiar to
everybody that the cornstalk contains
sugar in an appreciable quantity. but the
superstition was that there was rgt
enough of it to make its extraction
profitable Prof Stewart discovered
that taking the ear from the growing
plant AZ a certain period Of its develop
ment insures the yield Of as much sugar
as by the ordinary sugarcane. He also
found that this treatment modifes the
anatomical structure of the plant. great
ly increasing its available quantity and
improving the quality of its cellulose
contents. The pulp and ceiluiose by
products make high grade material for
the paper manufacturer. at low cost.
That the inventor and his friends have
confidence in the outcome sufficient to
invest s35O.000 in the construction of a
plant is not only n demonstration of
good faith but also an earnest that the
effort VIII no, nc likely 20 fail because o:
insufficient lacking.
Besides sugar ce!lulose and paper.
| there will also CT" long il" fra. aicohol
as a byproduct. IL the experiment sue
ceeds it will give enhanced value to In
dian corn.

WINIMILL SIGNALING.
Valuable Tor Military Purposes,

prised to find that communication could
readily be established with far-distant
centers and that confidential messages
could be sent on from one mill TO another
and so forwarded throughout the length

short time by means of secret codes
known only to the nillers themselves.
These codes have been handed down
from generation 10 generation and jeal-

The original itinerary of the battleship

that the cruise would be made a strictly
business one and outside of the visit to
Australia no stops would he made
on the long route back 10 the United
States except where necessary to take on
coal and supplies. Since then urgent in
vitations have been received for the
