AUGUST F. Buck Explains
Editor Holly Chieftain:

The item that recently ap-
peared in The Chieftain wherein
it says that | was satisfied with
the price of beets at $3.50, was
somewhat misconstrued. AS the
situation is critical, we must
have every part in detail to do
justice to the farmers. the fac
tory and myself. ~
There were so many farmers
of the opinion that the new con-
tract was straight price Of $3.50
per ton that some explanation
was in order and this is what I
said: Years ago we used to get
only $500 for all beets that
tested from IL to I6 per. cent and
80 I-3c more for every full per.
cent Is and over. An I8 per cent
beet only brought S.. Now. this
new contract provides for $3.50
for all beets testing from IL to IS,
per cent, and everything testing
IS and above, S. fiat.
Then, l said if the beets
should average in test like they
did when l raised them, an aver
age of from I6 to II per cent,
nobody would hear of $3.50
beets. Then, on the other hand,
it looked very unfavorable to me
should the farmers offer to ac-
cept the contract, Mr.. Wiley
would concede 50 per cent of the
pulp to the farmers, together
with the privilege held out to the
farmers to employ their own
chemist.
|. If this condition would come
about, and the beets tested as in
the early years of the. industry,
it would be better contract BY
far than we ever had before.

Testing the Scout Cruisers.

The three scout cruisers, Salem, Chester
and Birmingham, will probably start on
their long efficiency cruise to the West
Indies between January 1 and Is. The
Chester has completed all her preliminary
trials except the twenty-four-hour run at
high speed. The Birmingham and Salem
one ship at a time, will each cover the
various water consumption and steam
tests. Each vessel is to run the twenty
fOur-hour high-speed trial. Then there
are to be three other trials. a 1.O0O-mile
run at twenty knots in company, 75O-
mile run at fifteen knots and then 1000
mile run at ten knots. The three will sail
together in order to have the same
weather conditions for all. There will be
no particular formation, but the ships
must keep in sight of each other.

Lapses of Memory.
From the London Chronicle.

Gaps in memory, such as those of Elmer
son, which have been recorded, occur to
every one, and we are always getting
news of people who beat Emerson (who
couldn't remember Longfellow's name)
and cannot remember their own. Day by
day we find some man or woman who
has forgotten it's name, and all about
itself. Now and then it results in police
court proceedings and newspaper para
graphs. For the loss of the sense of
identity is by no means uncommon.
That sudden gap in the memory was
found by a friend of this writer-a total
abstainer-who experienced it at the cor
ner of his own street. He had forgot
ten his own name. He found the po-
liceman. will you tell me who lives at
23?' he said. The constable. surprised,
replied: why, you do.' Yes, but I'll
bet you siXpence you don't know my
name" The constable recognized and
named the distinguished man-and won.
But the eminent man admits that it is
annoying to forget your eminence And
he has never forgotten himself since then.

Soldiers Sunday Base Ball.

The accession Of new Secretary of
War has been the occasion of renewal of
the effort of the New England Sabbath
Protective League to obtain an order
from the department prohibiting the play
ing of base ball by soldiers on Sunday.
The department authorities have again
taken up this question, and the recon-
mendation to Secretary Wright is along
the lines of the decision rendered by Mr..
Taft on the subject. It has been held
that the playing Of base ball on Sunday
on military reservations remote from
civilian neighborhoods does not interfere
with the observance of the Sabbath or
impart an element of disorder to a COM
munity. The latest appeal to the War
Department was directed against the SOL
diers of the Coast Artillery Corps sta
toned in the neighborhood Of Boston. 1t
is expected that Secretary Wright will
take no action, letting the decision stand

for Military Students.

subsistence for Military students.
The War Department, in bringing to
Washington to take part in the inaugural
parade March the 500 cadets of the
Military Academy, is confronted with
lack Of funds for the subsistence of the
cadets while they are absent from West
Point. They will be absent two days, it
being intended that they shall arrive In
Washington the evening of March ) and
return to West Point on a late train the
following day. This would make forty
eight hours absence from the Military
Academy. 1t Is possible that an effort
will be made to permit the West Pointers
as well as the midshipmen from An
napolis. to remain over until March D, so
that they may attend the inaugural ball
or be entertained by friends in the city.
The objection to this. however, is that 1t
removes the cadets and the midshipmen
from the disciplinary restrictions which 1t
Is necessary to maintain, especially OH
occasions when the young men are alb
sent from the two institutions. The cost
of bringing the cadets from West Point
and the midshipmen from Annapolis is
estimated TO be about $1,000 in the way of
extra expense to the government, but the
expenditure is regarded with favor by the
authorities, since it gives the young men
an opportunity to take part in national
event and to be seen by many people.

court desires the presence of the men in

refused to summon them from the Philip

should have consulted the War Depart
ment in such matters in order to insure
the presence of the soldiers at home.
Some time has elapsed since their arrest,

penalty of his confidence in the soldiers.
1t is now possible to have the men ordered

Complaints have been received from Of

New Searchlights for Warships.

Experiments are now being carried out
on German warships with acetylene shells,
which it is believed will take the place of
the electric searchlight used hitherto by
warships. These shells contain calcium
carbide and the water can reach it
through a tube. The shells are fired by a
gun built specially for the purpose. On
being fired the shell goes under water and
then rises to the surface, and the action
of the water upon the calcium carbide
produces the acetylene light. Each shell
is said to have 5000 candle power and will
burn for three hours. The great draw
back of the ordinary searchlight is that,
although it affords some protection from
the unobserved approach of torpedo boats,
it yet makes the warship using it an eX-
cellent target. The new acetylene shell
referred to will have the great advantage
of lighting up given space, while the
vessel that fires it will be left in dark

Wing Brakes for Warships.

BY direction of President Roosevelt a
ship brake invented by French Canadian
will be tested at the Philadelphia navy
yard as soon as the brake can be in
stalled on the battleship Indiana. 1t con-
sists Of two steel wings about four feet
wide and twelve feet high, running from
the water line down toward the keel.
The wings are on hinges, and when closed
lie forward against the side of the ship
One wing is placed on each side of the
vessel about amidships. When the brake
is released the forward motion of the
vessel through the water causes the
wings to open and produce a strong fric-
ton counter force against the forward
motion OF the vessel The brake is closed
by hydraulic power. It's inventor says
that it also enables the vessel to maneu-
yer more easily and in smaller sea space.

While all positive evidence is lack.
ing il is the general suspicion that
number of Italian workmen, en-
ployed at the same mines as the vic
tins Of the explosion, took this
means of retaliating for insults and
bad blood which has existed for some
time at the camps. Fist fights have
been frequent, negroes have been
stoned by the Italians and Italians
by the negroes, and on several oc-
casiOns have been shot into during
the night.
None OF these attempts have re-
