The opening of the Singer tower in New York, which Is to be gorgeously illuminated by electric lights has rals- cd the question how far away its splen- dor will be visible at night Popular estimates of such distances are apt to be exaggerated, for the reason that the distance does not increase in pro- portion to the height. Thus an object loo feet high can be seen thirteen miles away. and one 200 feet high but five miles further The next hundred adds nearly as much, but the rate steadily falls till 1000 foot tower such as New York means to have could be seen only ,forty-two miles away. The Singer tower, being loss than 700 feet above the sea. would be visible at sea under the most favorable conditions only about 35 miles away.

Secretary Metcalf of the navy de- partment Is giving attention to the question of the practicablity of using oil instead of coal as fuel for surface torpedo boats. and interesting expert ments will be made this summer along this line. It has been estimated by of ficers that the radius of operation of q torpedo boat would be increased at least 20 per cent If oil were substituted for coal as fuel An added advantage over coal would be the facility with which oil tanks could be filled Extra oil tanks could be installed in a moth CT" ship. and naval officers say it would be an easy matter to transfer the liuuid fuel to the small war craft even in heavy weather.

WAS NOT UNANIMOUS.
Sunday Theater Advocates Found Op-
position at Novelty Mass Meeting.

Though petition will be presented to
the council, numerously signed, asking
in behalf of the employees of the Santa
Fe shops that the Sunday theater clos
ing ordinance be repealed, the mass
meeting which was held at the Novelty
theater Friday evening at o'clock In
the interests of the repeal of the law
was not unanimous for such action.
w. H. Ward, a Santa Fe employe
who headed the committee which called
the mass meeting, had the crowd well
with him in the forepart Of the even
ing. Later forces headed by Thomas
Prout, secretary of the r. r. Y. M. c.
A, came in and in a short while there
was a good sized delegation represen-
tative of that faction present.
Ward made speech pleading for a
fair treatment to everyone and argued
that the theaters were being singled
out and Disseminated against in the
Sunday closing enforcement while con-
fectionery stores, cigar stores, drug
stores and street railway companies
were permitted to continue with their
business routine on Sunday as any
other day. Thomas Prout got up and
scored Ward and claimed that the pc
tition which he had circulated was not
as genuine as claimed and that a num-
Der of the signatures were not those
of the men to which it was purported
they belonged.
With clash of these interests still
pending the meeting was declared adj

SUPPLIES AND GUIDES.

Washington, July 11-Theodore Roose-
Welt is actively planning his campaign
against the lions, hippopotamus, ante
lope, leopards and other big game in
Africa
At the present time no definite in
formation can be gained from the
White House as to his line Of travel,
but it is generally known that this
course will take him on the east side
of Africa about as outlined in the map
above. Roosevelt and his son, Kermit,
will enter Africa at Cairo about the
LIST of April. At Cairo they will get
their supplies and will be met by guides,
who will conduct the party on the trip.
From Cairo they will proceed up the
Nile, or to take it literally, down the
Nile, for the Nile flows toward the in
terror, through British Egyptian Sou
dan to a point somewhere near Sobat.
From there the party will take the
Sobat river into Abyssinia and traverse
a country very little known to white
men. 1t Is thought that the trip will
lead through British East Africa, pro-
badly by way of Rudolf lake and
the Keiro river to Lake Victoria Ny
ANA, which is the largest single body
of fresh water in the world.
OOuI hCyAHS SOulH tIcy VIII pass
through Lake Tanganyika and Lake
Nyanssa, with side Journeys into Brit
ish East Africa and German East At
RIGA. From Lake Nyanssa they will
continue to Mozambique channel, be-
tween Madagascar and East Africa,
along the ZambeZi river.
One of the most beautiful places
alorg the route is Lugard's Falls. in
British East Africa. This is named af-
ter Explorer Lugard, who was the first
white man to traverse this region.
The entire journey will cover a dis
tance of between 5000 and 1000 miles,
by boat and on foot, through a coun-
try little Travelled. No supplies of any
nature will be purchased before Cairo
is reached except arms and ammuni-
ton.
President Roosevelt is devoting
much time and attention to the study
of this part of the world and is call
ing to his aid men who have Travelled
through this district. Congressman w.
w. Cocks, who recently returned from
a trip UP the Nile, called on the presi-
dent a short time ago and gave him
many points of advice which would be
to his advantage. Press men and pho
tographers are to be tabooed as well
as any unnecessary attempt at luxury.
The president goes into this trip as an
explorer and traveller.

KING MUST BEAR BRUNT.
Police Exonerated for Part in Maucks
Affair.

Kilmaurs King. humane officer. the
police committee of the council de-
clared last night had exceeded his au-
thority in entering the home of Mrs.
Viola Maucks and Mrs. VIM. De Vance
at 1925 North Quincy street and TAX
ing from there baby belonging to Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Harper. King was ac-
companied by Detective Hutton and
Patrolman Leach of the police force,
but the police committee found these
two guiltless of any fault. The action
complained of occurred on July 3rd.
Mrs. Harper is the daughter-in-law of
one of the women and as the result
of a quarrel left her husband and Sc
cured the aid of the officers in secur-
ing possession of her baby. The two
women complainants alleged that
violent force had been used by the po-
lice and also profane language. This
was denied.
Later Mr.. and Mrs. Harper settled
their differences and following this an

NEW MILK ORDINANCE READY.
Provides for an Inspection Fee of 81
Per Cow.

The new milk inspection ordinance
received the approval of the committee
on health and sanitation of the coun-
Gil last night. The ordinance is now
ready to come before the council on
Monday. The fee was placed at 81 per
COW for inspection, payable semi-an-
nally. AS it is estimated that about
1900 cows will be amenable to the or
dinance and the salary of an inspector
will be about $1,000 the dairymen pres
ent objected to the size of the fee
claiming that the inspection would
more than pay the salary. This in the
face of the promise of the mayor that
the office would not be created for rev.
enue and that the inspection fee would
be kept down to a figure where reve-
nue. would not accrue. 1t is likely
therefore that some action will be start
ed in the council to cut the inspection
fee lower than 81.
The dairymen requested that no ac-
ton be taken on the ordinance by the
council until state law is enacted
which would cover in some manner
compensation to the dairymen who
might lose cows through condemnation
as being unhealthy.
1t is estimated that the cost of milk
will go up as the result of the ordinance.
THE increase being equivalent to 4
cents per gallon wholesale or two cents
a quart retail. As a much better quail
ity in the milk will result the addition
al cost is offset

presidents story of his adventures in
Africa" said Charles Scribner. THE
details of the arrangement will have
to come from Oyster Bay, however.
We understand that the president
wishes to announce them himself in
such length as he sees fit.
1.-The articles will run serially in
Scribner's Magazine and then will be
published in book form. There will
be from eight to twelve installments,
each of from 5000 to 5000 words. The
price we are paying is, I believe, the
highest ever paid for any magazine
series.'
When questioned about the royal
ties, he said:
1--WE are giving President Roosevelt
more than the ordinary royalties. of
course. We expect tremendous sales,
so that in all probability the amount
the president will receive from royal
ties will exceed that from any other
single work.

been big Sellers" Mr.. Putnam of G. P.

attempt was made to Withdraw the
charges filed before the council
against the police. The police officers
had an assault warrant but no search
warrant when they went to the home
where the baby was being kept and
admitted this on the examination by
the police committee.
Councilman Fraser therefore refus-
ed to vote to hold that the policemen
were without fault, but Councilmen
Howard and Stanley voted against
him and exonerated Hutton and
Leach. D. McKeever appeared as an
attorney for the two women and the
city attorney appeared in behalf of the
police officers.

The arches are rapidly filling up
