STATE COLLEGE, Pullman,
Dec. PA new feature of the
winter school for farmers, which
will be offered at the state college
during the 10 weeks following
January 5, is the poultry section, y
plans for which have recently been
outlined by Professor George Sew

agriculture. The principal lee
turer for the poultry section will be
H. F. Rau, of Tacoma, who is a
practical poultry breeder. The
lectures will cover problems of the
selection of breeding stock, mating,
building up the home flock, prob

chicks, fitting for market, breeding
and care of late stock.
There is no more profitable
line open to agriculturists of
Washington than that of poultry

incarnation of George McQuarrie
by the same old George. He re-
versed the old rule and went east,
where he stayed for six months,
but he's back now and glad of it.
From the size Of the crowd last
night and the reception accorded,
the Shirley public is also glad of
it. George doesn't look like he had
been feeding on husks to any great
extent. At the end of the first act
he had to respond to curtain call
and the tribute was somewhat too
much for him. The play this week
is a good bill for the holiday sea-

seemed like an outrage before to
allow a young and inexperienced

his object be but to thwart her by
any means in his power? If in

Generate Helt Armor.

The use OF REINFORCED concrete
ar1nor on warships has recently been
suggested. An Italian engineer, Lor-
EMO d'Adda, has been led by the sue
cess OF concrete land Notifications,
as revealed in the Russian-Japanese
war, to construct armor plates of re.
enforced concrete, covered with thin
plates OF steel, as a protection against
the immediate effects of the impact of
shells. Concrete armor plates, even
when REINFORCED by stout and close
1y inlaid iron bars, must obviously
be much thicker than hardened steel
armor, but as the specific gravity
of the material is only one-third that
Of steel the weight of the armor need
not be increased, while its cost may
be very greatly diminished. The sub
stttution of REINFORCED concrete for
steel armor on a first class battleship
would effect a considerable saving.
The practicability of the substitution
will be decided by the result OF ex-
periments, soon to be made, On the
effect Of shots on the REINFORCED
concrete plates.-Scientifc American.

FLORIDA STANDS TORPEDO TEST.
Monitor Disabled, With Side Pierced
and List, at Fort Monroe.

Fort Monroe, Va.-Pierced with an
American Whitehead torpedo carry
ing a charge of guncotton, which tore
a large hole in her side, the United
States monitor Florida now rests in
the drydock at the Norfolk Navy
Yard, a victim of a naval experiment
to test the vulnerability from torpedo
attack of watertight b%ulkheads. The
water in the vessels hold gives her a
list of seventeen inches to starboard.
The test took place off Pine Beach,
near the Jamestown exposition
grounds, where the monitor was an
chored in fifteen feet of water. The
naval officials, while admitting that
the damage done to the vessel is seri-
Gus, declare that it is not vital and
say that the test is satisfactory.
Upon arrival at the navy yard the
monitor Florida was Immediately run
into the big stone drydock and the
water pumped out, in order that a
close examination of the damage done
by the torpedo could be definitely
seen. This examination showed that
a clean hole, extending from the SUI
p~erstructure down the hull, had been
made, and that it was twenty feet in
length. The destructive power of the
torpedo was the marvel OF the exam
lining officers. The injury internally
extended in about eight feet at the
centre, but varied from four to six
feet on the margins.

camps, one for each organization.
These r sub-divided into camps for
each branch Of the service, six regi-
