ASSOCIATED Press.

New York, Feb. S.-The National

says that current sentiment in con-
gressional circles at Washington IA

Spanish war revenue schedules with
a readjustment of customs duties
calculated to produce greater reye

that at the present rate of expendi

900 in new revenues must be provid-
ed at the session to be called soon af-

thing in the way of serious retrench

"A river and harbor bill must lie

about 100000 is thus needed and
that the bill would not contain any

By way of showing the imminent
necessity of providing additional
funds, the circular calls attention to
the fact that at the close of January
the available cash at the disposal Of
the Treasury was $149, 100000, of
which $100,000,000 was on deposit
in the banks and $4,O0O,OOO in the

circular adds:

Electric Power from the Sun.

The utilization of power that is run

stimulated the imagination of many an
inventor, and no doubt some day will
produce substantial results. Perhaps
such results are within reach even now.

he has devised a practicable apparatus

RACE WAGERS IN INDIA.
Natives Method of Choosing a Winner
and Making Bets.

The native Of India wagers his money
according to the colors worn by the jock
eys and takes no heed of the merits of
the horses. or he will back horse rid
den by his favorite jockey. no matter
whether the animal is rank outsider or
NOT.
His ideas of gambling, in fact, are dis
tinctly novel. Some OF the more wealthy
Indians form rings and back every horse
in the race, thus gaining the satisfaction
of getting O winner every time. 1t is
really only of late years that the native
of India has become an habitual gambler
on the turf. and nowadays the bulk of
the betting of the various racing centers
in India is done by natives. Indeed, the
authorities are becoming somewhat con-
cerned about the growth of the betting
which takes place among Indian natives,
it being asserted that as many as thirty
laos of rupees (about t3OO,OOO) is lost
and won in the course of season.
The ignorant masses have not great
deal of actual money to wager, but sc
badly bitten are many Of them with the
craze for betting at race meetings that
they frequently wager what little prop
erty they possess on horse, and if they
lose they simply replace their loss by
stealing neighbours goods. The con-
sequence is that when the racing season
comes around the police are kept very
busy dealing with cases of petty larceny
and other crimes involving loss of prop
erty.-Tit-Bits.

A Marine Engineering Sensation.

Quite furry has been caused in ma
rine engineering circles by the an
nouncement from New York that the
Southern Pacific liner Creole, which not
long ago made her appearance with much
eclat in the New York and New Or
leans service, is to have her turbine
engines removed and reciprocating en-
gines installed in their stead The reason
for this proposed change is said to be
extravaganza in coal consumption. The
Creole has required as much as 700
tons of coal to make round trip to
New Orleans from New York, whereas
other steamers Of the Southern Pacifc's
Atlantic service have required only from
1000 to 1900 tons.
The Navy Department is deeply inter
ested in the case of the Creole, which
is a steamer that cost her owners in
the neighborhood of a million dollars,
and is therefore one Of the highest types
Of passenger carriers. The government
has made a venture with turbine ell,
gines. in the scout cruisers Chester ana
Salem, the latter having turbines OF the
same style as those on the Creole
Moreover, it has contracted for the IN
stallation of similar turbines on the new
battleship North Dakota, which is now
approaching completion. 1t will be re-
called that in the recent test between
the scout cruiser Birmingham, driven by
roclprOcaClIS eighties, anu Inc o.OU'
cruisers Chester and Salem, the Blrm-
ingham made gratifying showings al
though she did not complete the, test at
high speed, and that the Salem brought
up the rear. There were hints that the
Salem's engines had been tempered with
or permitted to remain in operation
while in crippled condition, but these
have not saved the ship from discredlt;
and now that the Creole is to have her
turbines taken out there will be somecc
thing like panic among the advocates OF
| that type of marine engine.
Great Britain has led the way IN the
adoption of the turbine engine. and thus
| far seems to be satisfied with the re-
suits of the tests. Uncle Sam was there

| matter of speed with the worlds chief
naval power, and cannot be charged with

and the United States scout cruiser

turbines. The element OF international
rivalry entered into the contest between

will again crop to the surface in the

Hardy Chrvsanthemums.

Chrysanthemums of the. pompon type
of which each plant produces from &C
to 100 blooms, are many OF them hardy
enough to remain outdoors all winter in
central and southern ATTITUDES. Ihe
blooms often remain in good condition
until after Thanksgiving.
These plants are the most capable OF
resisting frost of any. flowers Their
peculiar merit is that they blossom long
after successive frosts have denuded the
rest of the landscape. Their vivid colors
are so unlike anything else that they
are indispensable in the carefully made
garden.
The flowers are not ruined until their
petals have been wet and frozen still
The plants are necessarily used for
mass effects, as great size is MOTTO be ex-
pected. Masses of red and brown side
by side make a striking combination.
Crimson and pink varieties should be
kept by themselves, because their ccolors
are variable and they make a violent
contrast with the yellow. The. culture
of these chrysanthemums is simple. They
need little care and thrive in any situa-
ton so that the soil is rich: Cuttings
may be obtained from any florist.
