Merely scratch the earth's surface for depth of 12,000 feet and water will turn instantly into steam. The dream of the power engineer is the sinking of two pipes to that depth. once in place he will drop high ex- plosives to the bottom of each and discharge them simultaneously, until a connection has been formed between the bottom of the pipes. Then into the mouth of one pipe he will divert a stream of water. At the bottom of the pipe the column of water will eX- ert pressure of, say, 5000 pounds to the square inch and the steam result ing from it's contact with the super heated rocks will automatically rise to turbines at the surface and ex- huastless power will be-humanly speaking-fOrever available.
 But the engineer is not content with planning to turn the earth itself into a great power plant. He has designs on the rest of the solar system.

Refreshing Summer Drinks.

Another refreshing drink, especially in the dOgday season. is Mrs. II. A.
 Hardy's Kentucky clareu cup. To pre-
 pare it, mix a quart bottle of claret
 wine with equal parts of cold oolong tea and very sweet lemonade. When well blended. place some long strips of previously frozen cucumber in the pitcher. season to taste with grated nutmeg, and serve very cold. If de sired. several sprigs of mint may also
 be added, in which case the flavor of the beverage could scarcely be dis ltinEuished from that of an extremely tastly julep.
 Or if it should chance that some one of vour guests is so firmly plant
 ed upon the water wagon" as to be absolutely immune from even so mild
 a tipple as this innocent claret cup. try him with one of Miss Truly Shat tuck's favorite summer night thirst quenchers and see if he does not pass the glass for more. To dO this. how ever. fill a large beer glass about one third full of finely cracked ice: squeeze
 in the juice of one lime; follow with
 a dash or two of Angostura bitters.
 and finally add a hottie of imported ginger ale. Harmless as the result may be, it will accomplish wonders Miles Bradford in The Bohemian Mag azine for July.

This fact should not be overlooked. -

Objection Raised by CulbersOn
on Saturday.

Determined 20 secure at this session

sular appropriation bill in the Senate.

bassy purposes. or to purchase a suit

The amendments are identical with

ate Saturday. on a point Of order made
by Senator Culberson. Of Texas. They
are intended 10 be proposed respect!.,e-
ly 20 the public buildings appropria-
tion bill and to the sundry civil bill.
The objection raised by Mr.. Culber-
son 10 the committee amendment on
Saturday was based on the ground that

ming of new policy. which had not

Members of House Committee on
banking and Currency, After Ia
bling Measure, Ask Speaker 10 Call
COnference-Substit offered
Based on speech of Leader Payne.

More than $50 signatures have been Sc
cured to the call for the Republican con
ference on the subject OF emergency cur
rency legislation. which will be held to-
night. Many members who have not
signed the call will attend the party gath
ering. and the belief is expressed by the
leaders that the VreeIand bill viii be
adopted as party measure and be passed
In the House in the near future.
A strenuous effort was made yesterday
to get Speaker Cannon's Endorsement Of
a new plan for emergency currency. This
plan was framed by Representative Hill.
of Connecticut. along the lines Of speech
made on the subject early In the session
by Representative Serene Z. Payne, the
Republican floor leader.
It was discussed at a conference held
yesterday by the Speaker, Chairman Fow-
Ter, and Representative Prince, OF the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency. It was proposed as a compromise.
Persistent Opponents.
Messrs. Fowler and Prince are among
the most persistent opponents Of the Vree-
land bin. They were informed by the
Speaker that the disposition to be made
of currency legislation would be decided
at the conference tonight, and he inu-
mated that Messrs. Fowler and Prince
should submit the Payne bill to the con-
ference.
The so-called Payne compromise pro-
vides for a bond-secured circulation. the
life of which shall be limited to two
years. The first section of ii reads as
follows
That for a period OF two years from
and after June l. 1905 any national bank
ing association which has circulating
notes outstanding secured by deposit OF
United States bonds 10 an amount equal
10 its capital stock actually paid in, may
make application to the Comptroller of
the Currency for authority TO issue ad-

bill was tabled. The measure was not
discussed on its merits. Chairman Fowler
had the votes. and he was instrumental

was in the case of the Aldrich bill. and

QUESTION TAFT INSTRUCTIONS.
Ex-senator Chandler May stop Seat
ing of 100 Men.

The right of about 100 Taft delegates
TO sit in the Republican national conven-
tion at Chicago is questioned in a letter
addressed TO the members of the national
committee by former Senator w. E.
Chandler of New Hampshire.
It is claimed by the opposition that
practically all of the delegates which
are instructed for Taft in the Southern
States were selected by Lily White"
conventions. Senator Chandler, in his
letter, does not specify cases, but asks
the committeeman to go on record as to
what will be their policy in seating dele
gates. He says:
1T seems 10 ME that, considering the
fifteenth amendment Of the Constitution
and the history of the Republican party.
such a convention. upon its adoption Of
the Lily-White rule as its fundamental
principle, instantly ceased to be a Repub-
lican body; so that its delegates cannot
for a moment be considered as entitled
tc seats In a Republican national con-
yentiOn to nominate President
