The de- partere of the Gedney will leave a vacant spot in the social happenings of ketcs,kan this winter.

THE RECEPTION IN JAPAN.

Comment on the experience of our feet in Japan and the extraordinary reception accorded to onr sailors is mainly optimistic, but an occasional discordant voice s heard. Friendly as the reception was it is intimated, it contained suhte hint. As our vessels drew near the port each ore was met and escorted to its anchorage hy Japanese war vessel of equal power During the festivities on shore and at the otiielal receptions there was Japanese officer ot equal rank 10 escort each American officer. With the seameu it was the same. For every American seaman there WAS a Japanese seaman. Thus the Japanese matched cur splendid fleet, ship for ship, gun for gun, officer for officer. man for man.
 The better opinion seems to he that the good will displayed by both the government and the people of Japan was sincere. It would nave been easy enough for the government to have simulated friendship T successfully, even while entertaining designs against Us, but it is not easy 10 make a people simulate q feeling they do not possess. All of the reports agree in describing the reception from the common people as extremely cordial and enthusiastic. Our sailors and the laps fraternized at once. according to the cable stories. and developed the warmest ndship.
 The truth will be known when our dset returns and the men nave an op- portunity to relate their impressions. They must have been able to discern the insincerity of their hosts, if there was any. and if they discovered it they will make it known. In the meantime there seems to he no good reason for doubting the good will Of either government or people. Nett h. er nation has given the other any cause for i'll will and all of the war talk is based on possible complications hich may never occur.

THE GASOLINE ENGINE.

Let Us for moment consider the gasoline engine. not merely as 8 piece of machinery. but in its relation to the development Of it's owner, s character. The first season you run it, yeu never cease to wonder why in Sam Hill you were fool enough tO throw away your good money on such 2 diaboi;caI invention. You realize tha. the language you sometimes use ID addressing the thing is not at all Y hat 1t should be, and you cannot help bet feel that the whole connec- tion Is having distinctly bad effect on your morals. ard Of course. it is the engines fault. But later, with the growth Of knowledge, experience ard understanding. you learn that it sas your own fault as much as the engines and you tone your language down considerably.
 Among all the creatures of steam and iron or brass eyer devised by the mind of man. there is none more buman-I had almost said more fem inine-than ths gasoline engine, ssreIy there is none more responsive. YDJ trea. her as such and she Il work without trouble.

 Run the exhaust pipe overheard at q point one-half foot above water line, and then screw on an ordinary elbow leaving it free to turn. Into the elbow screw soiidly about I feet l15 inch pipe, and to this attach a wire or cord by which the end may be held up out Of the water. Then with little practice, you can master the problem of a noiseless. odorlees, sDrayIess exhaust. With the hinged pipe drawn out of the water start your engine. As soon as tie boat gains headway drup the pipe in aud you will be delight cd to oigcover that your boat is actually going faster and your engine running freer, and with out noise or smell. The reason is evident. The water rushing past the open end of the pipe produces q suc- tion which makes the exhaust more perfect. emptying the cylinder of all exploded gas after each stroke of the

The shooting affair reported as hay ing taken place at Ju neau last week may be regarded as legitimate re- suit o' the personal journalism which has characterized the management oi one of the daily publications Of the capital city. Indeed, the only wonder is that hell was not set to poppin' up that way long before that it vas not inaugufated much earlier may be credited more to the patient iorbear- auce of long suffering people than any display of wisdom on the part oi the newspaper whose chief aim and purpose appears to have been desire to provoke it's neighbors up to the shooting stage.

FIFTEEN CENT COPPER.

An Eastern exchange hints at fifteen cent copper as one of the probabilities of the very near future, giving as its basis for such belief what it alleges as fact that Phelps, Dodge X Go. and the American Smelling & Retn-
 ing company are refusing to sell con- per for January delivery at anything like present prices. Phelps, Dodge & Go. are said to have sold all the cop per they have on hand and all theS can produce during the balance of the year. Tbe best informed interests in New York state there is practically no copper on hand, and they predict II cents for electroIytic before De cembe l and by the first of the year they fully expect electroiytic to sell at 1j cents or even higher.

rurret Plate Stands the Test.

The biggest naval gun, the heaviest
projectile and the highest explosive
known, combined with close range
and deadly aim, were allowed to work
their full havoc On the turret plate OF
the monitor Florida. The result is
declared to be victory for the turret
construction and this Notwithstanding
the 11-inch hardened steel plate was
blackened, broken, the seams OF the
turret sprung and the rivets and
screws loosened and twisted.
1t was not five minutes after the ter
rible impact that the finely balanced
mechanism of the turret was being
worked with perfect ease and the II
inch gun on the left side was trained
at will. Inside the turret where stand
the gunners and gun crew, the havoc
was much less apparent than from the
outside. Examination showed that OF
the many delcately adjusted instru'
ments for fire control, sighting and
operating the turret few, if any, were
out Of working order.
III this had happened in battle the
Florida would be fighting yet, said
one of the rear admirals with enthus-
iasm.
Their followed a futile attempt to de-
stroy the newly designed fighting mast
erected on the stern of the Florida.
After five shots from the Arkansas
guns had gone ripping through 1t the
mast still stood firm.
Forty shots would not bring 1t
down, and no enemy would waste am
munition and time shooting at It,"
was the expert comment.
1t was predicted that all new ships
would be equipped with battle masts
og this design.

Noted Auto Driver Killed.

Emanuel Cedrino, the noted ltal
ian automobile driver, was instantly
killed on Pimlico racetrack at Balti
more Friday evening. He had been
preparing for races in which he was
to have taken part and was max
ing some very fast miles. One had
just been finished in 81 seconds and
he had passed the grand stand and
rounded the first corner Of the track
when spectators saw his car shoot into
the air and turn an irregular somer-
sault, landing on the track upside
down.
Those who rushed to the spot found
Cedrino stretched on his back dead,
with big cash in the back of his head
and portions of his brains scattered
about He was some distance from
the car, from which he had appar-
emily been thrown as it went over and
it is supposed that his head struck
the fence.
The accident appears to have been
caused by the collapse of the front
wheel on the right hand side of the
car. 1t was a wooden wheel and small
fragments were all that could be found
after the accident. The tire was
found partially intact. The machine
was totally wrecked.
