BELLINGHAM, Feb. 1.-Sher-
iff Stevenson of Skagit county
with a posse led by a pack Of
hounds is today trying to fini
some trace of the supposed mur-
derers of mosA Johnson, an aged
resident of Guemes island, near
Anacortes, who has mysteriously
disappeared under circumstances
that led the officers to believe
he has been killed.
The old man was worth $780,
600 and is said to have kept much
of his wealth hidden in his house.
Yesterday a neighbor went to the
place to borrow some farm ma
chinery.
He found everything about the
house in such shape that it inIi-
Gated the man had not intended to
leave. His hat and coat were on
a peg in the room and frying pan
was on the table. But the man
has been away for some days as
his livestock was suffering for
want of care.

|. SCIENCE
AND
INVENTION
STEAM TURBINES ARE SIMPLE
Well-known Objections to Their EN-
ployment for Direct Driving of
Low Propelers.

Steam turbines are simple and can
make effective use of heat energy in
steam down to very low pressure.
Moreover, they have very fair eff
cheney over the whole range of pres
sure-say from 200 pounds per square
inch. absolute, to one pound per square
inch, absolute, says Casters Maya
zine.
There are, however, well-known OBJ
jections to the employment of steam
turbines acting alone for the direct
driving of the propellers of low-speed
vessels, especially vessels of small or
moderate size where the power re-
quired is not great. For cargo boats,
where the power of the engines is not
more than 1000 indicated horsepower
and the speed less than IL knots, the
direct-drive turbine is particularly un-
suitable.
The unsuitability of the turbine lies
in the fact that its desirable speed of
rotation is far removed from the de-
sirable speed of rotation of the pro-
peller. To overcome this difficulty
three schemes have been proposed and
to a certain extent tried, whereby the
propeller can rotate at a lower speed
than the turbine These schemes re-
spectively involve:
/. Mechanical gearing.
2. Electric transmission of power
3. Hydraulic transmission of power.
The mechanical gearing scheme,
which at present looks the most prom
Using of the three for cargo boat use,
will be first considered.

TELESCOPE is USED IN LUNG
New Invention With SearchIight EN-
ployed to Locate Pin in Bronchial
Tubes of Patient.

By the use of newly invented min
iature earchl;ght-telescope passed
down the windpipe and into the bron-
chial tubes of a patient who had swal-
lowed shawl-pin, one of the sur.
geons Of Kings hospital of London,
Eng, was recently able to see the pin,
to remove it with forceps and to save
the life of the patient, who was ap-
parently beyond human aid.
The instrument, called a broncho-
scope, resembles a small bent tele-
scope fitted with lenses at different
angles. and has tiny electric light
which can be passed deep into the
lung. The day after the pin was
swallowed an X-ray examination show
ed its position beneath the sixth rib,
about an inch to the right of the
breastbone. The patient was chloro-
formed and then a 20 per cent solu-
ton of cocaine was sprayed over the
iarynx and windpipe. The telescope
tube was then passed through the
mouth and larynx down the windpipe.
Peering down, fixed head downward,
in one of the branches of the wind
pipe at distance of Is inches from
the mouth.
A pair of very fine forceps on the
end of a long, flexible wire passed
down the hollow telescope tube was
then made to grasp the pin, and the
pin, forceps and telescope were then
withdrawn together. Within a few
hours the patient was able to return
to her home none the worse for an
accident which before the invention of
the lung telescope would almost In
evitably have proved fatal.

Hopeful Sign.

That the war on tuberculosis pays
immediate dividends in human life
is proved by report OF Dr. Bosley,
health commissioner of Baltimore. In
the monthly health bulletin for July
it is shown that the number of deaths
from tuberculosis occurring in the city
was 90, as compared with 123 for the
same month last year. DR.. Bosley says
that he attributes the decrease in the
number of deaths to the educational
campaign that those interested in the
fight against the white plague" are
making. 1.-The interest of the public
has been aroused" he declares. land
there is a general tendency on the
part of the people to heed the warn
ings and to observe the hygienic rules
being promulgated" In ten years, IL
the present progress is kept up, DR..
Bosley believes that tuberculosis will
be stamped out.

majority in both houses of the legis-
lature which refused to carry out the
Republican governors recommends
tons; and although 1t was only a
minority of the Republican members
which brought about this refusal, the
party cannot escape a measure Of re-
sponsibility for the failure; but it is
only just to remember that a clear
majority of the Republican members
of each house supported the bill,
whereas three-fourths or over of the
Democrats opposed it. This is one
of the cases where it is easier to ap-
portion individual than party RESPONSE
tility.
Those who believe that by their
action they have definitely checked
the movement for direct popular pri
maries are, in my judgment, mistaken.
In it's essence, this is movement to
make the government more demo
cratic, more responsive to the wishes
and needs of the people as a whole.
With our political machinery 1t is es-
sential to have an efficient party, but
the machinery ought to be suited to
democratic and not oligarchic customs
and habits. The question whether in
a self-governing republic we shall
have self-governing parties is larger
than the particular bill. We hold that
the right of popular self-government is
incomplete unless it includes the right
of the voters not merely to choose be-
tween candidates when they have
been nominated, but also the right to
determine who these candidates shall
be. Under our system OF party gov
eminent, therefore. the voters should
be guaranteed the right to determine
within the ranks of their respective
organizations who the candidates of
the parties will be. no less than the
right to choose between the cand..
dates when the candidates are pre-
sented them. There is no desire to
break down the responsibility OF
party organization under duly consti-
tuted party leadership, but there is
desire to make this responsibility real
and to give the members OF the party
the right to say whom they desire to
execute this leadership. In New York
state no small part of the strength of
the movement has come from the pop
ular conviction that many of the men
most prominent in party leadership
tend at times to forget than in a
democracy the function of political
leader must normally be to lead, not
to drive. We, the men who compose
the great bulk of the community, wish
to govern ourselves. We welcome
leadership, but We wish our leaders
to understand that they derive their
strength from us, and that, although
we look to them for guidance, we ex-
pect this guidance to be In accord
ance with our interests and our
ideals.

The Ideal linht-

The Society of Illuminating Engin-
GERS In England has lately discussed
the question of the best means of
avoiding glare from artificial lights. 1t
is beginning to be recognized that the
recent introduction of intensely daz-
zling points of light raises problems
in the solution of which the ocullst
must take hand. Two Berlin profes.
sors urged in communication to the
society the "advisability of initiating
daylight" The quality of daylight is
its diffusion. whereby the eye is saved
from injury. 1t has been estimated
that the diffused daylight from a clear
sky is about 60 per cent. of the direct
sunlight. 1t is pointed out that the in
furious eye effects of artificial lights
are not confined to the light centers,
but arise also from the glare reflected
from the surface of shining paper and
other bright objects.

Salt River Flows Inland.

A current of water will flow back
and forth in tide-water river, but on
the Island of Cephalonia near Greece,
Is the curious phenomenon of a river
steadily flowing inward from the sea
and disappearing. All rivers naturally
flow towards the lower levels to the
sea and this curious instance on the
island in the Mediterranean is not du-
plicated anywhere else in the world,
so far as is known.
The sea, which is almost tideless,
enters the land at four points where
the coast is practically on a level with
the surface of the sea. These four
streams unite to form the little river
that flows inland until 1t finally disap-
pears In the limestone rocks and sinks
into the earth. The volume of the riv-
err is too great to be removed by evap-
Grafton, and the question is where
does Ii go?

IDEAS ABOUT THE RAINBOW
Queer Notions Held by People of
Different Countries Regard
Ing the Bow.

In many countries the rainbow is
spoken of as being great bent pump
or siphon tube, drawing water from
the earth by mechanical means. In
parts of Russia, In the Don country,
and also in Moscow and vicinity, 1t
is known by a name which is equiva-
lent to "the bent water-pipe." In
nearly all Slavonic dialects it is
known by terms signifying the cloud
siphon," and in Hungary it is 1.-The
pump" "Noah's pump and Gods
pump" The Malayan natives call 1t
by the same name that they do their
manded water cobra, only that they
add "boba" (meaning double-headed),
the equivalent in our language being
1.-The double-headed water-snake."
They tell you that the bow Is real
thing of life, that 1t drinks with its
two mouths, and that the water is
transferred TO the clouds through an
opening in the upper side of the CEN
ire of the great arch. In the province
of Charkav, Russia, the rainbow is
said to drain the wells, and to prevent
this many are provided with heavy,
tight-fitting stone platforms.
In the province of Saratov the bow
