Training an craftsmanship at
Hest Point.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau


COLONEL SCOTS VIEWs-The Mill
tsry Academy authorities take exception in
emphatic terms 10 the criticism which l,as
been made by army officers who are inter
ested in craftsmanship. and especially in
the annual national match. on account OF
the failure of the institution at West Point
to nave the cadets represented in that con-
test. The absence of a team from the Mill
tsTy Academy was officially reported to the
War Department as the subject of adverse
comment"
Colonel II. J.. Scott. ,he superintendent Of
the Military Academy, has presented his
side Of the case. lie shows that training
in small arms rifle practice is by no means
neglected at West Point. The individual
figure of merit in craftsmanship has
steadily advanced, and in the last year the
showing was better than it has ever before
been; I'm addition TO which there are eighty
three cadets who have qualified in the first
class as shooters
Colonel Scott SAYS that the criticism
which has been made is by no means war
rsnted by the facts. and he adds that the
Military Academy would be only too glad
TO arrange for contest in marksmanship
with the Naval Academy. lie has recon-
mended that teams representing the two
institutions shoot one year at West Point
and the following year at Annapolis, the
teams 10 be chosen by drawing lots from
the first class Of craftsmanship at each
academy This" says Colonel Scott. will
make every cadet in the class a candidate
for the team. and does away with the OBJ
jectionable and defective practice of train
ing a few at the expense Of many

COINS OF ALUMINIUM.

Advantages Of the White Metal Over
Bronze Coinage.
Aluminium is a blush white metal
which is very malleable when pure.
In hardness and tenacity it is com
parable with silver. Experiments in
abrasion conducted at the French mint
have proved that aluminium coins will
be less rapidly worn by use than coins
of gold, silver or even bronze, says the
Scientific American. Aluminium has a
metallic ring and is unaffected by ex-
posture to the air at any ordinary tenn
perature. Its extreme lightness is an
other advantage. It is only 2.56 times
heavier than water and is four times
lighter than silver; hence aluminium
coins could be carried in considerable
quantities without Inconvenience, and
they would be easily distinguished
from silver coins by their lightness.
The total nominal value of the bronze
five and ten centime pieces in circula-
ton is estimated to be about 56,OOO,-
600 francs (about $40, 1000. Accord
ing to Cosmos, the French government
proposes to replace some 100000
francs worth Of these coins with alu-
minimum coins of the same denomina-
tons, to the nominal value Of 63,OOO,-
600 francs, this expansion being made
to meet the normal increase of demand
during the ten years allowed to accom-
plish the substitution. The aluminium
coins are to have the same diameters
as the bronze coins, about n inch
and one and one-quarter inches, but
they will weigh only two and three
grams about thirty-one and forty-six
grains), while the bronze pieces weigh
five and ten grams az and 15
grains). About 1000 tons of Alumni
UNI, worth A cents a pound in blanks
ready for stamping, will be required.
This represents an outlay of nearly
100000 francs, which the cost Of
minting will increase to 100000
francs, but this will be more than
covered by the profit derived by the
government from the expansion Of the
currency without counting the revenue
derived from the sale Of the 5000 tons
Of bronze obtained by melting the old
coins.

friends in congress, and it was for a
time believed that they would be POI ".
erful enough to keep him in his place.
But President Taft, after inquiring
into the difficulties between Secretary
Nagel and Mr.. North, decided that it
would be to the interest Of his admin
~istration for the director Of the census
to hand in his resignation. The new
director, Mr.. Durand, has been deputy
commissioner Of corporations in the
Of commerce and labor,
He was born thirty-eight years ago in
Michigan and is well known as an ex-
pert statistician and an authority on
finance. Mr.. Durand was an instruct
or in economics in Harvard in 1902,
when he entered the census bureau.
He remained in the bureau until 1907,
when he was appointed deputy COM
missioner Of corporations.

Linseed For Boiler Scale.

The matter Of boiler scale is one
which is a constant worry to every
one who is responsible for the econom-
ical operation of a boiler plant, and
many are the attempts which have
been made to solve this problem. An
exceedingly simple method has been
discovered by a Russian engineer,
which consists Of adding a small guam
tity Of linseed to the boiler water.
The linseed is put in the upper part
Of a copper tank divided by Il horizon
tai sieve Of fine mesh and connected
with the hot water supply. The re-
sultant decoction filters through the
close meshed double copper sieve to
the lower part and is fed to the boiler
through the injector. The Shiny sub
stance of the solution attacks every
particle Of forming scale which does
not adhere to the walls of the boilers
and is readily elected when the boiler
is blown out. The necessary amount
Of linseed is stated to be about one-half
pound for every 100 horsepower. TAX
ing thirty pounds Of steam as CORE
spending to n horsepower. the guam
t1ty Of linseed required would be about
one-half pound for every go gallons
of feed water.

results had occurred in West Virginia.
"West Virginia." Senator Elkins Of
that state replied, docs not produce
millionaires. We produce coal, iron.
lumber and oil, but no millionaires."
Yet Mr.. Elkins is reputed one of the
richest men in the senate. There are
not SO many wealthy men in the body
now, however, as there used to be in
the days of Mark Hanna. Of Clark Of
Montana, who was supposed to be
worth $25,OOO,OOO and up; Kerns of
Utah, with $1O,O0O.OOO; Mcmillan Of
Michigan, with another $4,000 900;
Dryden of New Jersey, with $5,OOO,OOO
or so: Brice of Ohio, $5,OOO,OOO, and
Proctor Of Vermont, $3,OOO,OOO. Then
there We're fifteen or twenty others
who had been so unfortunate in life
as to be able to accumulate a bare mil
lion or 50. This lot included Cameron
Of Pennsylvania, Jones Of Nevada,
Stewart of Nevada and Wolcott of
Colorado.
Some Of the most conspicuous men
in the senate now, like Cummins of
Iowa, La Toilette Of Wisconsin, Brown
and Burkett Of Nebraska, Cullom of
Illinois, Beveridge Of Indiana and Coe
I. Crawford Of South Dakota, are CON-
paratively poor men, though Bev-
eridge recently acquired a wife who
has some money. Senator Crawford
Is a poor man with a large family and
lives in a boarding house many would
call cheap, while Cummins, though he
was on the highroad to wealth when
he became a reformer, now has little
but his house. The latter is said to
have cost him 100000. and at present
he finds it hard to scrape together
enough money to keep up the estab-
liShment.
Brown and Burkett of Nebraska are
reputed to have very little property.

trips as easy a task for one person as
the wheeling of a perambulator. The
device. which has been recently pat.

attachment on the keel of the canoe
near the bow. This framework has
two arms or clutches, into which the

Graduation
At Annapolis.
>.Jue Week. at The Naval Academy and
IL Ways h Which It's Functions Differ
From Commencement Ceremonies
of Other Educational Institutions.

" UNE week." as graduation time
is called at the United States
Naval academy at Annapolis,
varies In many important re-
Spects from commencement week at
the average college or university. The
training Of a young nan to fight for
his country on a vessel Of war neces-
sarily differs from educating a boy
to be a lawyer, doctor, minister, teach
e., mining engineer or journalist or
from training a young woman to ex-
Gel In intellectual pursuits or the SCI
enc Of housekeeping. The studies at
the Naval academy include many sub
1ects taught In the curriculum OF the
average college, like the modern Ian
guages, mathematics and science, but
q student who graduates from Yale OF
Harvard or Columbia OF Princeton or
Cornell or the similar institutions Of
the middle west or Pacific coast Is not
expected to know much about how a
warship should be handled during an
engagement with an enemy or to be
on intimate terms with the articles
and formulas Of naval construction.
Much Of the time during the gradua-
ton eason at Annapolis Is taken up
with drills in which the future cap
tains and a admirals Of the navy
go through evolutions which are very
interesting and spectacular and usual
" attract many visitors besides the
immediate relatives Of the young men
who are to receive reward for their
four years. work.
The academy is a national school,
supported by the government Of the
United States, and as such subject to
the supervision Of congress and the
chief executive, and the cadets and
their instructors are alert at this time
especially to make a good showing
when the eyes Of the representatives.
OF the nation are upon them. One of
the events Of the week is the inspection
by the visiting board appointed by the
president, acting under the authority
Of congress.
This year special interest has per-
fAined to the graduating exercises at
Annapolis because Of the visit Of the
Baron and Baroness Uriu of Japan.
The baron is a vice admiral Of the
Japanese navy and a graduate Of the
United States Naval academy in the
class of 81. The academy had much
10 do with preparing him for his i'm
portant part in the wal with Russia.
He and Admiral Dewey enjoy the
highest rank of any of the academy's

Mr.. Lorimer was a member Of the
house Of representatives at the time of
his election to the senate and had be-
gun his seventh term in that body. He

living graduates. The class Of 81 held
q dinner which the Japanese admiral
attended, and he was Il guest of honor
at various other functions. June week
begins with the receptions to the board
Of visitors and ends with the grand
ball with which almost all educational
institutions wind up the festivities sig
nalizing the close of the academic
year. One event Of the week which
always enlists the interest of visitors
is the sail drill on board the Severn,
the practice ship named in honor Of
the beautiful river which bounds one
side Of the campus. Gunnery. Of
course. is a subject which occupies
leading attention at the academy, and
the artillery drills are naturally fore
most in interest. The efficiency Of a
warship is at bottom the efficiency Of
her battery, and it is considered the
duty Of every officer aboard her to
see that tho highest possible results
are obtained from the ordnance equip
ment put into their hands to use.
Few people are aware how broad an
education Is given to h graduate at
Annapolis or how well his brain and
body are both trained.
Few appointments under the govern
ment involve the necessity for more
general and scientific attainments. As
officers Of the navy the graduates are
required to act as judges Of the law
and evidence on trials Of their brother
officers for ofenses affecting the lives
and character Of the accused: as COM
manders Of ships they should not only
possess a practical acquaintance With
seamanship, but an accurate knowl-
edge of those branches of mathematics
connected with the science Of naviga-
ton, with astronomy and geography,
and as commanders Of fleets or squad
rons they must be well Informed ON all
toints Of international law.

Figures In
The Tariff
Discussion.

~ENATOR P. ]. M'CUMBER Of
North Dakota has figured as
~ one Of the leaders Of the "insur-
gents Of the senate during the
extra session and was especially prom
inent in connection with the discus
sion Of the free lumber question. In
fact, Mr.. McCumber introduced the
subject in the senate by presenting ar
amendment providing for free lumber.
He contended that the American for
ests were being rapidly depleted and
urged that every encouragement should
be given to the bringing in of outside
lumber for the protection Of our own
supply. He also declared that every
article produced on the farm required
more expended energy than any other
class Of product. In illustrating the
profits Of the farmer as compared with
the profits Of other occupations the
senator jokingly asserted:
"rhere are 300 tomatoes in a bushel,
and when you 60 down to tie senate
restaurant you will pay 25 cents for a
single tomato, or at the rate of SIS a
bushel, and when the colored waiter
has cut up that one tomato for his
farmer patron the farmer would have
to go down in his pocket for another
quarter Of a dollar, or the price Of a
bushel Of tomatoes, to reward him."
During his speech Mr.. McCnmber
said that the protective duty ON lum-
Der had enabled many lumber dealers
in the northwest to become million
