 MT. Bettison of the National Sport ing club has not yet decided who he will first put against Sam Langford when the black American middlewe eight comes on. He has not quite given up hope that Johnson will yet stand by his contract.

theory, and conduct of fermentation,
including proper temperature, density,
principle, and products formed-the
~denaturing of alcohol and d~enaturants,
and the use of denatured alcohol for
manufacture and medicines-was dis
cussed by officials of the bureau OF
chemistry. The object in view, di-
rectly, has been to determine by prac-
tical demonstration the value of the
various farm products as alcohol pro-
ducers-to determine the feasibility OF
the farmers utilizing by-products and
unmarketable fruits and vegetables in
the production of denatured alcohol.
All material used at the distillery was
bought in the open market by DR..
Wiley personally in order that he
might observe it's condition and there
fore be the better Informed in sum-
ming up the results. He also person
ally superintended the operation OF
the plant. At the present time ne
and his assistants are engaged in sum-
ming up the results of the experiment
tation. The exact proportion OF aico-
hol produced by various vegetables
will be discussed at length in a re-
port; as also will be the primary or
necessary cost of production. While
it is impossible to learn at his time
the conclusions of the officials, 1t may
be said in a general way that the al.
cohol can be distilled from refuse and
unmarketable vegetables and farm
products at a cost of from rs to 80
cents a gallon.
A feature of the report of DR.. Wiley
will be a discussion of the practicable
ty of individual farmers distilling
their own products at a profit; like.
wise the feasibility of cooperative
distillation plants in thickly settled
communities.

construction by the Midvale Steel
Works. The gun will be shipped to
the Washington navy yard where the
finishing touches are to be added and
will be proof-fred at Indian Head
about the middle of October.
It will be the first high-power gun
of this caliber ever constructed for
practical purposes and will fire a shell
weighing 1000 pounds.
The navy will beat out the army in
this respect, as the latter also has
three 14-inch modern guns now under
way which will fire a shell Of about
i,400 pounds.
Other nations have built 16-inch
muzzle-loading guns. but not of very
high power.
Plans are being worked out at the
navy department for the four sub
marines authorized by congress. Pro.

soon.
