MAKING BETTER ENGINES

A T the Royal Technical School, in Charlotten-
burg, Germany, there has recently been
tested, with remarkable results. method of
increasing the efficiency of steam engines,
which invented by two Germans some
time ago, but has only now been effectively
applied.
The principle depends upon the employ
ment of the exhaust steam from an ordinary
compound engine to evaporate another liquid
having lower boiling point than water The
liquid used is sulphurous acid. The heat of the
exhaust steam is sufficient to liberate sulphur
dioxid gas, and this, passing into the cylinder
of an auxiliary engine, acts the part of steam.
1t is afterward condensed and goes back to
the vapor1zer. The result is said to be that
to every indicated horsepower developed in
the main engine about half horsepower is
added by the auxiliary engine, without in
creasing the consumption of fuel.

she asked.
Yes" he said, "as true as steel, although
she has sometimes had reason to fear he
not. She will do wrong ever to mistrust him
again"
What kind of a looking man is the one who
IS in love with her and has never dared to tell
herr"
He is middle aged man with smooth
face All, yes, l see now. He is Just begin

For goodness sake. she said. Il Won

The Doc went to tell her then to be
patient, as everything would come out all
right and she'd be married again and live to
be very old. After he had come out OF his
trance, the woman paid him and hurried away,
saying it was wonderful and all true, although
she had never told living soul about it.
How did you find out about the letters,
l asked when the wizard and | were alone
again.
Every woman has a package of letters" he
said, smoothing his plug hat with his sleeve.
It's easy money, you will say Zachariah; but
wait. If she burns her letters and is happy in
the future, thinking her husband is good
man and true. will you say my part was not
noble one, well worth the price! When people
come to you to buy happiness, always supply
them with the best you have in stock"
OUR big seance was given in the Odd Eel
lows hall that night and it would have
been great success if it hadn't been for one
little thing. The Doc had the lights turned
out, leaving the hall as dark as Zuu's grand
mother except for some kind of fixing that he
had on the platform, making faint greenish
ghmmer whenever he wanted it to. He
started in by saying little child was standing
beside him.

EMMANUEL MOVEMENT DENOUNCED AS QUACKERY DECLARED A MENACE TO THE
 CHURCH.
A Subject of Discussion at Session
 of Episcopal Congress.

Boston. May 13.-Quackery menac- ing the church was seen in the Elm manuel mental and spiritual healing movement tonight. by Dr. Thomas P. Darlington, health officer of New York. who made an address at the Episcopal congress. Dr. Darlington's attack on the new psychotherapy was made during the discussion of the idea, in which it was strongly defended by Rev. Lyman P. Powell of Northampton, Mass.
 "The danger of the movement is not to the medical profession" but to the church, said Dr. Darlington. 'sThe church has at many times in the past suffered from quackery. If psychoterapy becomes a function of the church. the opportunities of such people are multiplied"
 Rev. Mir Powell said: 'The Elm manuel movement is the first intel ligent and systematic effort to save psychotherapy to scientific medicine by placing the responsibility on the doctor for a determination of the times and instances in which it is to be employed; to save it from ap- propriaton to the use of sehismatic cults by reinforcing it with faith, common to catholic and protestant alike
 An attempt by the so-called rad icals in the church to have members of other denominations invited to deliver addresses was defeated by the general committee in charge of the congress.

"A PROTEST !. FROM COAST. Against the Railroads Inter- pPetation of Spokane Ruling THE RATE REDUCTION
Ordered by Hill and Harri- man Lines Will Injuriously Affect Pacific Points Which It Was Contended Was Not the Commissions Purpose.

San Francisco, May 13-Believing that the reduction of freight rates to inland distributing points ordered re- gently by the Hill and Hartman roads, in accordance with the decision of the interstate commerce commission in the so-called Spokane case, will seri- ously injure Pacific coast cities to which no corresponding reduction has been made, William R. Wheeler, traf- fife manager of the Merchants EM- change, wired the commissioners today asking for a stay in their approval of the proposed rates until the coast cities have an opportunity to show the in- justice of the new tariff.
 When the interstate commerce com mission decided the case, it ordered the railroads in revising their rates to take into consideration the rates from the Pacific coast to interior points. so that the business of the coast cities should not be affected adversely. One of the objects the commission had in mind when this was ordered, was to keep an even balance on merchants competing for the same trade.
 Under the ruling. as the railroads have construed it, however. it is as serted by Traffic Manager Wheeler and others interested, that eastern job ping houses will be given a greater ad- vantage in the intermountain district than they have at present and the cities of the coast, especially San Francisco will be at a decided disad- vantage.
 The new rates, if approved by the commission will give many interior towns between the Missouri river and the Sierra Nevadas what is commonly known as the water rate, or at least a rate slightly in advance of and based on that figure. The proposed reduc tions will amount in many cases to 25 or 30 per cent of the present schedules and if accepted will take the place of the readjusted schedules going into ef feet June 3, which are of general ap plication and the general tendency of which is upward.

FRENCH GOVERNMENT STRONGLY SUPPORTED IN ITS POSITION AGAINST THE
 STRIKE. The Movement Must Advance at Once
 or Fail.

Paris, May 13.-A turbulent session of the chamber of deputies today end ed in another signal victory for Pre- mier Clemenceau, when the govern ments policy with regard to the postal strike was emphatically en- dorsed by a vote of 454 to 59, in cluding also the governments insist ence that postal employees and other functionaries have no right to strike. Immediately afterward the chamber passed vote of general confidence in the government of 365 to 75.
 The strikers received the cham ber's rebuke with a shrug of the shoulders, declaring it only served to bind closer their forces which would soon startle the country by big in crease and rapid extension of the general movement. On the other hand it is intimated that the government has other plans in view to offset any serious growth of the strike.
 Up to midnight there was no change in the situation. If anything it was in the direction of a weaken ing of the strike sentiment. The gen. eral conviction is that if the move ment does not make vast strides to- morrow, it is almost certain of com plete failure. M. BarthOu, minister of public works, posts and tele- graphs, asserted during the debate that only 236 out of the 24,205 postal employees in Paris and the Depart ment of the Seine are out, and that conditions in the provinces were even better. .-.
 Premier Clemenceau coolly conclud- ed the exciting session with the statement that it was a case merely where France must choose between a revolution on one hand and pro- gressive evolution on the other. or between work under republican law and order and a spirit of adventure calculated to disorganize and rend the republic

DAYTON WELCOMED
 TIE WRIGHTS HOME
One of the Inventors Predicts the
 Future of the Aeroplane.

Dayton, May 13.-The booming of cannon and brass bands greeted Will bur, Orville and Katherine Wright on their arrival in their home in this city today from Europe. A gun squad at the National Military Home fired salutes all day. At their home the Wrights were greeted by seV- eral thousand people and tonight reception was attended by 10000 per sons. As soon as the inventors could leave their home they hurried to their shop where they inspected the work already done on several machines now being built.
 Wilbur Wright said: "The possibll- ities of the aeroplanes are many but are not yet fully determined. This much is certain, however; the manlp- ulation of the machine is simple and can be mastered by any one in few lessons. The altitude of a mile above the earth is entirely practicable and as safe as a few hundred feet. The machines as we have been using them embrace little more or less than the mere basic principle, but we are inn proving each aeroplane more or less over the preceding one built and l predict that the process cf develop ment will be fully as rapid as that of the automobile"

PRESCOTT ENGINEER
 IN THE HORN TRIAL
FIRST SAMPLES OF ORE FROM
 TWO QUEENS PROMISING.
Development However Was Followed
 by Discouragement.

Kansas City, Mo. May 13.-Dr w. w Lewis, a mining engineer of Pres colt, Ariz, who examined the ore of the Two Queens mine in Arizona, before the property was developed, testified today in the case against the Horn brothers, Raymond P. May and S. H. Snider, who are charged with using the mails to defraud.
 Lewis testified that the samples of ore which he found in the prop erty justified an investigation but that the development of the mine early showed discouraging results. He said the mechanical work of de- velopment was of a hign order but that much of the work done was i'll advised.
 Judge Crum of the defense ob- jected to the methods of the district attorney in asking if certain work done on the mine was advisable as the opinion of the witness should not be expressed in this case"
 Judge Phillips decided that as tie issue in the case was whether or not the defendants were doing a legii- mate mining business or exploiting  tions, the witness as an expert could state the facts as to whether the work done in the development was justified. The witness said that about two fifths of the work was ill-ad- vised. Robert L. Hetherington, an assayer of Prescott, who assayed the ore from the mine, testified as to the value of the ore submitted to him.
 The government closed its case late today. Former Judge Krum, attor- ney for the defendants, moved later to quash the indictments against all the men except Frank Horn, but 1t was overruIed. Frank DeSousa, con- nected with a Phoenix, Ariz, news paper, testified that he had been paid s96 by the defendants in return for publishing glowing descriptions of the Two Queens,
