When the scientists of the world are
through dissecting the data brought TO
them by Commander Peary and DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook. new light may be shed on
the magnetic conditions at that Pole
When the Carnegie set forth on her
cruise those aboard her we're working on
the presumption that the earth is a great
spherical magnet It has two magnetic
poles, like all magnets. but because it IS
a spherical magnet these poles are both
near the earth's center and practically
equidistant from every point on the
earth's surface. The points where the
magnetic axis of the earth intersects the
surface are known as the magnetic poles.
They do net coincide with the true poles,
hut are approximately distant about 1000
miles from them. The magnetic needle
Of the compass is Influenced by these poles
and It is a most fortunate fact for polar
explorers that they are located where
they are, because the compass is their
only guide back to civilization as it is
claimed that all Astronomical methods
fail at the true poles to point out some
definite direction.
1t is an established fact that the mag
petie poles of the eartn are movable. It
has been proved that at certain spots,
because Of this movement. the compass
needle changes as much as five degrees in
a century. In some parts of the world
this detection is as great as 10 degrees
in a hundred years. 1t is at only few
places in the world that the compass
needle points due north. 1t generally
hears a few degrees to the east or west
Of the true north. As the compass is
brought nearer TO the magnetic poles it
becomes moro and more tickle, aud at
times so unreliable that the explorer
or navigator is hard put to ascertain his
true bearings.

~ HE French and Russian navy de-
q partments have adopted a newly In
~ vented turbine motor for their tor
pedoes, which il is claimed gives their
ship destroyers tremendous advantage
over the torpedo craft of nations using
the older types of machinery. This tor
pedo will develop 2OO-horsepower and
lasts so seconds, during which time the
torpedo is driven through the water a
distance of 5000 feet.
The engine, when started, developes its
200 horsepower in two and a half sec
onds-the rapidity with which the ma
chine gets to work being described by
naval experts as almost terrifying. This
new torpedo motor uses petroleum or
gasoline. supply of compressed air is

many as score of aviatOrs.
There are also a dozen noted Openair
tracks for trying out aerOplanes and at
least three enclosed aerOdrOmes in which
thousands gather to watch the tactics OF
the aviators flying their machines. All OF
these are in or near Paris. but at Zurich
and at Rheims are two openair tracks
marked out with pylones extending 200
feet in the air. These pylones stake out
the aerial track for aerOplanes and this
they must follow during the flying races,
which are a weekly occurrence in Europe.
So the airship, or rather the aeroplane,
has become commonplace in Europe, and
in any of the great capitals they no
logger draw crowds by their appearance
overhead. There are at least half
dozen establishments in Paris exclusively
engaged in building aeroplanes to order
and two factories which are building
aeroplanes on special patents and are
now placing them on sale. Even two

needed In the torpedo, and with this the
fuel is sent in a fne spray into the com
bustion chamber through many tiny holes
which pierce the electric igniteF.
Compressed air is sent into the eombus-
ton chamber and mingles with the case
line and the combustion that follows de-
veiopes tremendous power that drives the
new motor at unheard-of speed. Water
cools off the turbine and much Of the
water boils off before the engine ceases
TO drive the torpedo.
With this new machine, which is given
the name of the Lemale turbine, a tor
pedo craft can use its weapon at a range
exceeding a mile, and at that distance
it will hit or miss its enemy in just about
one minute. Thus the new motor would

the nonmagnetIc survey yacht Carnegie
recently slipped out of New York harbor
on its world cruise, which has for its
purpose the correcting of the compasses
at the principal observatories Of the
world. This cruise is given under the
auspices of the Carnegie Institution Of
Washington, and before the Carnegie re-
turns from her trip those scientists aboard
her will have determined the magnetic
conditions of the waters of the world.
The Carnegie is the first vessel built in
which iron, steel and ether magnetic
metals have little or no part With the
exception of thin cast-iron liners in the
cylinders of the bronze internal com
bustibIe engine and the steel cams neces-
sary 10 operate the valves aggregating
less than GOO pounds-no magnetic metals
were used in the construction of this trim
and deep seaworthy little ship.
As the Carnegie will have TO weather
many storms in the deep waterways Of
the world, it was determined to construct
her of the very best materials that could
be obtained. 1t was necessary TO combine
the finish and fine workmanship lavished
upon yacht with the sturdy strength of
a merchant ship. Her principal dimen-
sicns are: Length over all, 156 feet;
length on load water line, 12S feet
inches beam, nodded, SO feet; depth Of
hold. u feet inches, with a mean
draft Of 10 feet inches and a displace-
ment of 56S tons with stores and equip
ment aboard. Her lines are fair and
easy, running In an unbroken sweep from
stem TO stern and her model shows power
and seaworthy qualities of pronounced
type. Her beauty has been enhanced by
handsome decorations Of gold leaf, and
altogether she is one of the prettiest craft
that ever sailed from this harbor, where
pa1atiaI yachts are wont to rendezvous.
So staunch is this little ship that it
might be well to describe in detail her
construction. The scantling employed in
the construction of her hull is Of the
same dimensions as that required by the
Ar erican Bureau of Shipping for mer-
chant marine of equal tonnage. The

THE KING as AN ASSET.

@HE King of England is described as
Il valuable asset to the nation on &C
count Of the fact that he creates an
impression OF good will and good dispo-
sition. When the Prince OF Wales. the
King was known as the first gentleman
Of Europe; and as the monarch, his per-

He seems to have reduced the job of q

permit torpedoes to be cred at the rate
Of a mile a minute speed never NTH
erto achieved, and which even as short
while back as the Spanish American war
would have been considered impossible.
All torpedoes now used by the first
class navies are alike as regards the
section of the weapon which explodes and
sinks an enemy's ship. The difference
in values now consists in the sort OF
motor which sends the tube along to
meet the doomed vessel. Certainly if the
French aud Russian naxies actually pos
sess a torpedo driven as claimed By the
admirers of the new female motor IL
means a big increase IN the power OF
these navies as regards underwater night
ing in the future.

Charged With contemps Of Court.
David w. HiIdreth Of Newport, editor
Of the Express and Standard, was, on an
information filed by Attorney General
John g. Sargent brought before supreme
court last week Wednesday TO answer to
the charge OF contempt OF court in an edi-
toriaI which appeHred In the Express and
Standard March /, 1909. In this editori-
al, the allegation sets forth that the en-
preme court and the individual members
thereof we're charged with corrupt and
unlawful conduct in the disposition OF
the case Of State W. the Boston q Maine
Railroad company in which the opinion
rendered BY Judge John II. Watson was
in favor Of the railroad company and sus-
tanned it in excluding instruments OF in
dependent telephone companies from the
railway stations where the New England
Telephone a Telegraph company had
lines. The pro fnrma ruling in Orleans
county court was against the railroad.
Editor Hildreth was subpoenaed on
document signed by Chief Judge John
w. Rowell. He was represented by John
Young Of Newport, while Attorney-Gen-
eral Sargent appeared for the State.
In the writ served upon Mr.. Hildreth
by the attorney il 10 charged
that he did ''defame, degrade and insult
the supreme court of the state OF YER
mont, and the members thereof, that the
publishing Of the article in question
brings the court into disrepute, contume-
~, and contempt, and tends to destroy its
power and influence and does also cause
lesaly infiame, incite and prejudice the
people against such said court"
Thursday morning Mr.. Hildreth pleatH
ed guilty and was fined $500 and costs,
which were paid. Mr.. Young, Mr.. Hill
dreth's attorney, declared that the edito-
rial was written without malice, that no
insult to the court was intended and that
Mr.. Hildreth did not realize its full sig-
nihcance when be published it.

T. +. RICHARDS.

In the death of Mr. T. F. Richards
Keokuk has lost an old and valued
citizen. During the dark days of the
civil war he served his country faith
fully and we'll, and he was no less
a patriot in the peaceful days that
have since interviewed. His kindly,
genial nature and pleasing address
won him many warm friends to whom
his death comes as personal loss.
Through all the many years of his
business life in this community he was
upright in all his dealings and exem
plified the principle of the golden
rule. AS citizen he always stood
for what he believed to be highest
and best. AS a Christian he was
sincere, earnest, devoted and consist
ent to the end. During his last
weeks he suffered much and death
came to him as relief from pain
that was at times almost unbearable.
His passing takes from us a model
husband. neighbor, friend and citizen.
He will be sadly missed by all who
knew him, but his memory will be
cherished as that of one who lived
well his life and left no known duty
unperformed.

TURNING TO WASHINGTON.

Recently certain eminent citizens of
Massachusetts sent petition to the
navy department praying the secre
tary to instruct the officers of war
ships to enforce the liquor and Sab
bath laws of their commonwealth,
which apparently their own authorities
were unable to do. Only short time
before this a resident of the same
state had appealed to the President
to pardon man convicted of crime
in the Massachusetts courts. Now a
band Of earnest women in Ohio has
determined to assault the President in
behalf of plan for the punishment
of wife deserters, whom they would
have shot by the national soldiery.
Ridiculous as this scheme is, It is
cited by the New York Sun as sig
nificant as betraying again the com
plete ascendancy of the federal gov
eminent and power in the opinion of
large number of respectable per
sons In discussing the matter the
Sun declares:
THAT the state and town gov
ernments should be held RESPONSE
hle for the enforcement of their
own laws and ordinances is a
suggestion that would come as a
revolutionary surprise to great
many entirely worthy men and won.
en- An insistent and vigorous cam
paign for the extension of federal
activities has resulted in the eclipse
of local government in the minds of
all aycent n few reactiOnaries Your
proud and independent American is
pretty ant to expect the national gov
eminent to tie his shoe laces and send
man to mend the spring in his
storm door,
Nevertheless the Sun regards it as
improbable that the states will dis
appear entirely. 1t is moved to this
conclusion by the fact that they fur

TWO ARMIES OF WOMEN.

The women of New York who are
in favor of political equality for their
sex are now organized into two
armies. One is called the National
Progressive Woman Suffrage Union
That is the more radical wing. 1t
corresponds to the Abolitionists of
the early day in contrast with the reg
ular Republicans or free soilers. The
other is the orthodox or regular
organization of Suffragists, as they
call themselves in distinction from
Suffragettes, which is the term APP
piled to the rabid element since it
has been imported from England.
That name was imported from Eng
land because the Suffragettes il New
York take the Suffragettes of London
for their example and declare that
they will proceed to every sort of vio-
lence and make all the trouble they
can until they are given the right to
vote. A banner from the front of
their headquarters in New York bears
the statement that the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments to the consti-
tuition give women the right to the
franchise, and it quotes Ben Butler
and ant Their as authorities in minor
fty report in congress holding that
view
The Fourteenth amendment declares
that certain persons born or nate
allied in the United States are eth
zens Of the United States and of che
respective states in which they re-
side. The Fifteenth amendment says
the right to vote shall not be abridged
on account of race, color or previous
condition of servitude.
In reply to tire claim Of the suffra-
gettes the Buffalo News declares that
there is no limit upon the power of
state to abridge the franchise right
by excluding women from its enjoy
ment. It says that the argument of
General Butler In that minority re-
port in 1874 was in fact, a political
dodge of his without basis in law. No
one has ever paid attention to it and
the general surprise may be estimat-
ed that this new element of agitation
for the franchise should go back to
that discredfted and worthless re-
port to find foundation for its cam
paign.
