The money to purchase the talking
machines and pianos is raised by sub
scription or assessment Of the ship
company and Jack, with proverbial
prodigality always insists upon the
best instrument obtainable regardless
of price. In similar manner funds are
raised for the purchase at regular in
tervals Of new supplies Of photograph
records and player piano rolls but oft
times the blueiackets will make indi-
yidual purchases on their own hook
and donate the new acquisitions to the
ship Especially is this the case with
nhonograph records and the haste
manifested by the boys embraces ev-
erything from grand opera by world
famous singers to the latest topical
songs by vaudeville fayoites. The
shlps of the navy also have an "eX-
change" system whereby records and
rolls. alike to moving picture films,
are exchanged In order to give the
men on each vessel the widest possi-
BILE variety.

Ef5E I'M, 24S4 or Maricopa, in Kern

sEs3SgA E9S what is known as the
kS. 5sYT1 Kern River oil field
Ahl1'''' ''i-ss2ez-lS there is the greatest oil
well known to the world. 1t is known
as Lakevlew No. l. For some months
It has been spouting forth daily av-
erage Of $4,000 barrels of oil, worth
65 cents a barrel where 1t gushes
from the earth
This extraordinary well has an in
teresting history. It's sinking was be-
gun in the summer Of 1909, and by
October q depth Of nearly 2,200 feet
had been reached. At that point the
drill encountered an enormous pres
sure, which forced earth, gravel, and
rock upward in the hole for a dis
tance of several feet. New wells are
often filed in that way, the matter
forced upward in the tube being 50
loose that 1t can be removed with a
bailer. In the present case. however,
the well was packed so tightly that
redrilling was necessary.
Sometimes the drillers would gain
on the pressure in the earth; at other
times they would lose. The result
was that in five months, or to March
IS. 1910, the net increase in depth
of the bore was only so feet. The
well had been sunk into an oil sand
but it was believed that by going
to a greater depth the chance Of
securing a large flow Of oil would be
increased. Finally, however, when
five months work had accomplished
no greater result than is often gained
in single day under ordinary cir
cumstances, the directors Of the com
pany owning the Lakeview well de-
cided that 1t would be unwise to try
to drill farther The local superin-
tendent accordingly was instructed
to stop drilling and to permit the well
to begin producing at the depth
reached.

UNLUCKY EIGHTEEN
Government Inspectors Order Cows
Killed OF Herd That Supplies Milk
To Midshipmen

For sometime it has been sus-
pected that milk has had some part
to play in the typhoid now exist ng
among a score, or more, of Midship-
men at the Naval Academy.
Government inspectors, therefore,
from the Federal Department of Ag-
riculture at Washington, who have
been sent here to investigate mat
tiers. have ordered eighteen cows of
a herd of one hundred that supplies
milk to the Naval Academy killed be-
cause they failed to pass a tuberculin
test. A post-mortem examination
will be made to see if the disease has
gone so far that the beef would be
likely to spread the disease. Other
wise the meat will be passed as fit
for sale.
The test is made every six months.
Only in rare cases is the meat con-
demned by the Government inspec-
tors. 1t is said that the inspection
had no bearing on the fact that Mid
shipmen have typhoid fever from
causes that have so far baffled the
medical authorities there and the
experts in Washington, but there
are those who believe it has. An
examination of the cows made re-

MARINE WAS ARRESTED
EnIisted Man Offended The Naval Auth
critics BY Cheering For The New
York University

Col F. J. Moses, commandant of
the Annapolis Marine Barracks. who
returned from Washington today, is
now considering the punishment to be
melted out to F. a. Rundel, bugler
in the Marine Corps, who on Saturday
afternoon was placed under arrest and
taken from the Naval Academy foot
ball field for disorder" in roofing
for the Midshipmen's opponents in
the Navy-NewYork University con-
test.
So marked has been the cheering
of the enlisted men of the Navy and
Marine Corps for the opponents of
the Middies in outdoor athletic con-
tests that on Saturday Colonel Moses
issued an order calling attention to
the matter and reminding the marines
that, as guests of the Navy during
these games, it was bad form to too
markedly express preference for a
Navy defeat. he at the same time
directed that hereafter the Marines
attend the games in a squad and
under command of a non-commis-
stoned officer.
Considerable ill-feeling has been
caused between the Midshipmen
and officers and the enlisted men
and when Rundell, who it appears
is New York; got too noisy in his
cheering for the visitors on Satur-
day, he was ordered arrested by
Lieut.. Commander A. H. Scales, of
the Navy. and taken to the brig
where he is now confined awaiting
the infliction of punishment by the
authorities. The affair has, in a
measure, intensified the ill-feeling.

On Saturday Robert Johnson, an old
offender, was arrested by Officer Low
man for being drunk and disorderly,
and was fined by Justice Davis So
and costs. amounting to $3.75, which
he paid and was dismissed.
Newton Pinkney, colored, was ar
rested Saturday by officer John
Jacobs for disturbing the public
peace, and paid fine of 1915.
The same day the same officer ar
rested Louis Rich, colored, on the
same charge and Justice Davis fined
the accused SGT. in default of which
he was committed to Jail.
On the more serious charge of as
sault and battery upon white boy,
Clinton Vermillon, E. d. Mitchell,
colored, was arrested by Officer John
Holiday. Justice Wells fined the
accused $40 and costs, which was
paid.
On Saturday William Simpson was
arrested by Officer Jacobs on the
charges of disturbing the public
peace. Justice Davis collected a
fine of 1878 and the accused was dis
missed.

PASSING OF THE SCOUT
A Type OF Warships With Brief
Career

The scout cruiser as a type of war
ship has had brief career, if it shall
turn out, as now seems to be most
likely, contemplated in the designs
now under consideration, shall be re-
garded as sufficient substitute tor
such vessels as those of the Chester
class.
1t has been stated that Congress
will probably be asked at the COM
ing session to provide for destroyers
of about 1000 tons displacement,
which brings the destroyer into the
class of the scout cruiser, to all in
tents and purposes. The disadvant-
age of the destroyer in such service
is in the difficulties encountered in
rough weather, but the present
scout cruisers are little better off
in that respect.
The English naval experts have
not so promptly given up the scout
cruiser, but are still building vessels
of that type, the latest design being
of a ship 493 feet long and of 400
tons displacement, larger than our
scout cruisers, and with speed run
ming up to &c knots, or about the
same speed of the American ships of
the same class. The increase in the
displacement of the destroyer is an
other illustration of the obliteration
of types by merging one class of war
ship with another.

TURBINE REDUCTION GEAR
Naval Authorities Disappointed That II
Cannot Be Installed In New Ships

The naval authorities are much
disappointed that it has not been pos
sible to have installed on one of the
six torpedo boat detroyers, author
lied at the last session of Congress
and for the construction of which
bids were recently opened, the new
turbine reduction gear.
The bidders were afforded an op-
portunity to present proposals for
that mechanism, but only one firm
offered to install it, and that was the
Maryland Steel Company, the bid
of which was excessive. 1t will
evidently be necessary for the Navy
Department to specify the turbine
reduction year as a requirement in
the way of machinery and not leave
the matter optional with the bidders.
There is every reason, indeed why
the Navy Department should do
this and assume the risk and re-
sponsibility of satisfactory opera
ton, instead of imposing those con-
ditions on a contractor. 1t was
hoped that the new mechanism would
be installed on at least one of the
new destroyers, it being desired to
try out the new design of machinery.
As it is, it will be necessary to await
the results of the performance of the
collier which is under construction
at the works of the Maryland Steel
Company and which will be fitted
out with the turbine reduction gear.
1t will be six months or more be-
fore that auxiliary is ready for SER
vice. The event is awaited with in
terest in proportion to the Importance
of the development, which will show
the availability of the turbine reduc-
tion gear for the motive power of
battlesSips. 1t is not possible, of
course, to adapt the present turbine
mechanism to the new arrangement,
but the performance of the collier
will be an aid to the designers of the
machinery for the battleships next
authorized by Congress.
