THE CURTIS TURBINE ENGINE.

Interest in the removal of the Curtis steam
turbines from the Southern Pacific steamer
Creole is justified, sentimentally. because their
inventor is an American and, practically, be
cause except for the yacht Revolution the
Creole was the first vessel of any kind on which
the Curtis turbines were tried. Still, for several
reasons. il seems too soon TO express a decisive
opinion Of their merits.
Mr. Curtis made the statement 4 day or two
ago that in his judgment the trouble with the
Creole was with her boilers, and that the
Southern Pacific intended 10 make n change in
her steam generating outfit as we'll rs in her
motive machinery. Whether he is right or
wrong. there are several facts which should be
kept in mind Curtis turbines are rendering
extensive service in power stations ON land. They
are also in use the Yale and the Harvard,
which run between New York and Boston. and.
SO FAR as the public is aware no proposition 10
replace them with reciprocdtinG engines has
been entertained. The only war vessel now in
commission on which they have been intro
duced is the scout cruiser Salem and the
series of tests which were designed To show
her qualities is yet incomplete.
The trials held thus far show that the Salem
and the Chester the latter being equipped with
Parsons turbines. both consume more coal ut
low speeds than the sister ship the Brming
ham. which has reciprocatinc engines. but
much faster. Concerning the relative merits of
the two turbine cruisers uncertainty still exists.
The correctness of the report Of the ChCSterS
speed trial last year has been challenged. and
1t was hoped that the twenty -fourhour trial
held few weeks ago would determine which
was the faster. As however, one OF the
Salems engines did not work satisfactorily.
she was at disadvantage. and the Secretary
Of the Navy wisely decided to repeat that
particular test. for which an opportunity viii
be afforded when the Salem has reiOined the
other cruisers now on the way home from
Liberia.

CONVICT ROAD MAKING.

The system of employing certain classes of
convicts in building and repairing public roads,
which we have frequently discussed, has now been
adopted in six or seven states ard is being
practically tried on a considerable scale. Thus
far no serious complaints have been reported
while there are many expressions of satisfaction
and commendation. On the whole, there seems
To be far more probability Of the wider extern
sion and permanent retention of the system than
Of its abandonment by any state which mas
given il a fair trial.
From various points of view, indeed the
system undoubtedly has much TO commend it.
1t is certainly to the interest of the public that
prisoners should be made self-supporting and not
be dead charge upon the purses of the tax
payers: and also that improved roads should be
constructed generally possible and be kept

THE CITY BOND SALE

The opponents of the constitutional amend
ment will doubtless dilate gloomily upon the
results of the city bond sale and come forward
with their Il told you SOS" as if the price
realized-es:imated at 1O0.60-were sure evi-
dence that the bottom had dropped out of the
city's credit Yet the price realized is about
what the city has usually obtained for its !
per cents. 1t began paving that rate of interest
in February. 1906 and it received fancy price
for its first issue at that rate more than 10S
But bonds at that rate promptly found their
level and at the next sale. in July, 1906, the
price was 1O091. Prices recorded at subsequent
sales that year were 101 50 1OO11. 1O0.6S and
l01. 70. In 1907. when doubt the market for
bonds was adversely affected by the scarcity
Of capital. the prices recorded for per cents
were 1GO39 100094 and 100
In 1906 no amendment to the constitution
was in sight and conditions were not unfavor-
able. and yet the buyers of bonds to Judge
from the prices recorded. estimated the cty's
credit just about yesterdays buyers esti-
mated it, Considered. therefore. in the light Of
the prices that the city used to receive before
the amendment TO the constitution was even

That new plan for doctors" by which the
physician is to take his patients on the contract
plan and furnish repairs when necessary. on the
same basis the firms which contract t. keep
mans clothes in order for much a year. IS
not entirely new in principle, but in this coun-
Try, at least, it will be largely in application.
We are told that in China such an Arrangement
has been common for few centuries. but when
Occidental nations decide to invent something
trivial point usage among the Noneolians
for forty fifty generations doesn't count. If
the Chinese feel hurt at this treatment. they
have only themselves 10 blame, for they failed
to advertise properly during greater part Of
their history. and even to-day lack true appre-
ciation of the value of publicity
The arrangement proposed has many advan-
tages both to patient and practitioner. and it Is
surprising that there has not already been n
more general demand for it. Instances where
legal talent is engaged on this basis are com
mon, and IS ii is to the advantage of the
business to have his legal troubles nipped
in the bud by a lawyer so II is not less inn

Of accuracy, but il is certa ny large Naturally
if a doctor were employed on a yearly basis, Il

great value.
IT might he wise to initiate the Chinese prac-
tice still further. Contracts there, it is under

the physicians care are we'll Perhaps such
stipulation would be ruled out in Western ma
tions as unprOfessional, but it might work atis-
factorily, as it goes without saying that the
plumber who had contract to keep the water

leaked, would work overtime if necessary in

philanthropic penologist it is certainly far bettef
for the prisoners themselves that they should
work than that they should remain idle ana
there could probably be no better Occupation
for them, for their physical, mental and moraI

may have in other cases, does not apply 10
