Turbine Fans For American Dread
noushts.
For the. forced draft equipment OF
the United States battleships Della
ware and North Dakota t~wenty-eight
turbine fans, each with a capacity OF
$4,000 cubic feet a minute, have been
built at the Troy works Of the Sirocco
Engineering company.
Although only twenty-seven inches
in diameter, the fourteen sirocco tur-
bine fans to be installed, on each OF
the United States Dreadnoughts sup
ply $4,000 cubic feet OF air every
minute to keep the fires roaring under
the boilers Of these monster war YES
sells. 1t Is an enormous output for
their small size that has led to the
adoption Of this type Of fan on all the
principal transatlantic. liners, In Euro
pean navies and now by the United
States naval authorities. The fans
are built on the same principle as a
steam turbine and consist Of a
squirrel cage" drum surrounded by
sixty or more narrow blades.

Coal Fields Brought Nearer.

The coal fields of Virginia will be
brought nearer to Atlanta and the en-
tire south eastern territory aud the
transportation of fuel from this section
will be greatly facilitated in a few
months by the completion of the new
line of the Virginia and Southwestern
Railway, extending At miles from
Moccasin Gap, Va, to Bulls Gar, Tenn,
where connection is made with the
main line of the Southern Railway.
The construction of this line has now
reached a point where the Company
hopes to have it in operation in a short
time.
This line is being built on favorable
grades owing to the fact that ii ia 10.

tho bears, that stronger element who for
more than thirty, years. almost uninter'
rupted, have dominated the exchange?
I must admit frankly that I do not know
whether or not it would be Of advantage to
the producer to abolish all cotton exchan-
ges. I am rather of the opinion that the
exchanges, pruned Of the ranker features
Of gambling, stand as barriers between
the manufacturers and the producers. A
combination of the mill with no interme-
date buyers might bring about a condi-
ton similar to that which has ruined the
tobacco pl PRODUCER. There is no tobacco en-
change, and when one giant trust had
driven out all smaller competitors, the to-
bacco producer was left at the mercy Of
the trust. The sequel is found in the riot
and lawlessness that has swept over the
State Of Kentucky.
But it is lime for Congress to take a
hand in the conduct Of these exchanges. A
law should be passed requiring that every
transaction on the exchanges be based
either ON cotton in hand or on bona tide
contracts made with producers. The law
should require that nothing but middling
cotton be kept in stock by the exchanges
for tender on contracts, and the "dOg-tail"
stuff now kept for tender should be dis
posed of. If there is not sufficient scope
under interstate-commerce law to justify
the correction OF these evils, then 1 would
certainly favor q statute to that end.
The act of the Acknowledgement in CIV
ing c~ountenance to these men who have
grown rich on the misfortune Of the pro-
dIcer can not be too severely condemned.
In ordinary business affairs the man who
sells something that he does not possess
is considered guilty Of fraud. Down in
our part OF the country, where we have
not learned to make fine distinctions, such
characters shun the law rather than in
woke it. If they may depress the marked
by bogus sales and then rely on the great
arm Of the Government to, protect them
against delivery, they can, indeed, fix the
price of cotton to suit their pleasure.
It Is only in return for exports that the
real wealth Of q nation Is increased. Val
ues may become inflated at home, but
every dollar that 1 pocket by reason OF
the sale Of my land at an advanced price
comes out Of the pocket Of my neighb)r
Any proceeding, then, by a citizen OF the
United States, and especially Of an officer,
to depress her greatest export is little
short of criminal. To say that the Attor-
ney-General has knowingly done this
thing Is to reflect on his integrity. To
say that he has duped into so inconsistent
a position is to question his judgement,
and hence to question his fitness for 80
responsible a position. I believe that |
have interpreted the facts fairly and II I
have, they force US to n or the other
conclusion. Applause on the Democratic
side.l

zone Of the most successful Of these Is
Patrick Bernard Delany Of New York
whose inventions in improving teleg

ton Born In Ireland, MI Delany was
brought to this country when a lad, be
came an excellent telegraph operator al
the age Of sixteen and at eighteen was
one Of the most expert press operators
In the land. Afterward he rose to high
positions in various telegraph compa'
MES and later was associated with
Mr.. Edison in rapid ~telegraphy exper'

considerable sum, and invented the
anti-induction cable. the patents Of
which melted him w 100000.
Turning his attention to synchro

wire and was awarded for It the
highest prize at the international In.

Mr.. Delany twenty-one years age
equipped a laboratory at South Or

automatic rapid ~telegraphy, in which
he has had great success, his appara'

achievements In the %telegraphic line."

PIONEER AMERICAN LINEN
MILLS BRANCHING OUT.

Hugo Plant Now Planned Made Nsees-
sary by One Years Development OF
Now Industry.
Impressive evidence Of the progress
Of the pioneer American Linen mills
established at North Brookfeld, Mass,
about a year ago Is found In the plans
Just completed for extending the plant.
Beginning with limited capacity In a
mill that had to be adapted by degrees
to the requirements Of the Oxford Linen
mills, the business has grown to such
an extent that plans have been drawn
for half a dozen new buildings, I'LL
larger than the present main mill.
The plans call for an addition dou-
BILE the size Of the present main mill,
a new stock, storage and shipping
building, weave shed, "oxolint" fac
tory, bleach house and fiber preparing
house. The two latter buildings will
be In the center Of a quadrangle form
ed by the other buildings mentioned.
All the buildings will be Of re-en-
forced concrete. The new weave shed
Is to be a two story building, provided
with overhead lighting by means OF a
saw tooth roof containing 375 sky
lights. The power plant will be To-
Gated wen away from the mill building
proper, all the machinery in which
will be. electrically operated. A stock
issue Of about $165,0O0 made In con-
nection with the beginning Of these
extensions was all taken within a
week, largely by original shareholders
In the mills.
The Oxford mill was the first es-
Enlistment in the United States to
undertake the manufacture Of linen
products from fiber prepared by the
Nudge process, This accomplishes In
a few hours the work that abroad re-
quires many weeks. Judging from
the extensions to be carried out by the
Oxford mills, there seems to be no
further reason to question the I'M
mense success Of the undertaking.

DEMANDS FIRM POLICY
TOWARD SOUTH AMERICA

Plea For tho Protection Of American
Interests South Of tho Caribbean.
IF the new temple Of peace the
s75o,OO0 building tor the international
bureau of American republics, OF which
the cornerstone was laid In April. Is
not to be a memorial to the ruin OF
United States interests In a number OF
these republics, our government must
establish a reputation for frmness
when these interests are attacked"
says a writer IN the Pan-American.
with the completion Of the isthmian
canal these interests, which are al
ready estimated at a valuation OF
81, 0O0,OOO,OOO, will be largely increased.
A policy as Just as 1t is u~nyielding
when necessity requires will mean the
salvation of existing investments and
the protection Of the investor Of the
future,
1.-THE fact that q definite remedy Is
REQUIRED was impressed anew upon the
United States by the unsuccessful ef-
fort on the part Of the state depart
ment to secure arbitration Of FIVE long
pending American claims against Ven
ezuela. ,
1.-THE merits Of these particular cases
Is not, however, the question Of imme-
date Importance. This question Is,
What effect must be expected from q
policy which involves the abandon
ment Of citizens whose wrongs have
been declared to the world? If redress
Is not to be exacted for these wrongs,
what fate can other despoiled Ameri-
can citizens expect in Central and
South America when menaced by un-
scrupulous governmental
1.-THE definite remedy demanded in
wolves no more than the assertion OF a
policy Of insisting upon prompt and
thorough redress Of injuries. 1t would
not be difficult for the United States to
establish such a reputation for protect
ing the interests Of its citizens IN
South America that these interests
would rarely be attacked. All the

the case Of Venezuela, that the most

ent Of South American ~potentates will

WHERE DO CASTRO GET: IT2
Monepolies and Foreign Interests the
Sources of tho Venezuelan Presi-
dent's European Bank Deposits.

Menopolies and Foreign interests the
Sources of tho Venezuelan Presi-
dents European Bank Deposits.
Estimates Of the amount Of money
that President Castro Of Venezuela
thriftily deposited in Europe prior to
his flight vary all the way from SlO,-
100000 to s6O,OOO,O0o. Where did he
get it? Is the natural question. Most
of his wealth has come from monopo-
lies out Of which he has received the
lions share. The latest and one OF
the most ingenious Of these monopo-
lies was the sole right to butcher cat
tie. This was said to produce q net
income Of $4,000 a day, as thf cattle
raisers were forced to sell their anil
mails for almost nothing in the absence
Of competition.
Foreigners of all nations, as we'll as
the V%eneZuelans, have contributed 10
Castro's European bank deposits.
After four years Of exploitation the
receiver" Of the New York andRermu-
dez company's asphalt property turned
into the Venezuelan treasury only 3d.
900 as the net proceeds Of four years
sales, amounting to about half a MIL
lion dollars at the mine. All but 3d.
600 of this sum-, the receiver" stated,
was absorbed by Expenses and I'm
provements." The receiver neglect
ed to mention the profits derived from
the sale Of the asphalt here. Added to
the half million dollars charged to Eek
penses and improvements" the profits
made on the sale Of refined asphalt
make an enormous sum, which has
been divided between Castro and his
American business associates.
But the cattle and asphalt gratis are
only samples Of the sources from
which Castro has enriched himself ut
the expense Of his own people and for,
eign interests In Venezuela.

Advocates Of Regulating Animal Ex.
periments Ask Operators Some Per-
tinent Questions.
Protesting against attempts to mis-
represent the attitude Of the Society
For the Prevention Of Abuse In Animal
Experimentation, Mr. T. P. Bellamy,
counsel for the society, denies that
It ever proposed the prohibition OF
vivisection. The society stands, he
says, upon precisely the platform
where Herbert Spencer, the greatest
Of English scientists, stood when In
1895 he, with nearly 200 Of the most
prominent physicians in England and
in this country, signed a statement In
which he said:
1--WE believe, therefore, that the
common interests Of humanity and
science demand that ~viyisection, like
the study Of human anatomy in the
d~issecting room, should be brought IN
der the direct supervision and control
Of the state! The practice, whether in
public or in private, should be restrict
ed by law to certain definite objects
and surrounded by every possible safe
guard against license or abuse"
MI. Bellamy insists that these ques-
lions call for a frank answer from
those who oppose any such safe
guards:
Queries For tho Doctors.
How can legitimate scientific work
by competent men be injured by a law
which will limit all vivisection to com-
petent persons?
How can legitimate scientific work
be injured by q law which will com-
pel the use of anaesthetics In all cases
where the success Of the experiment
does not make the use Of anaesthetics
impracticable?
If our proposed legislation does not
fully protect legitimate scientific work,
why do not our opponents who criti-
else 1t accept u often repeated invi-
tation and suggest some amendment
which will fully protect scientific re-
search?
Why the secrecy with which viVisec-
ton Is surrounded Has the disem-
boweling Of living animals, in order to
experiment with their vital organs, or
the amputation Of limbs from n ami
NAL and attaching them to another
become SO painless that the public
has no interest to know what effort is
made to a v unnecessary suffering?
Or Is the brutality Of the whole
| thing so hideous or so unnecessary
that the operators do not dare to let In
the light Of investigation upon it?
We again challenge them to open
the doors Of their star chamber labora-
tories and let the truth be known. In
no other way can they quiet the pub
lie apprehension or avert the legisla-
| ton Of which they have such dread.
