An INVENTION
ON MANCHURIA

Chief Engineer w. L. Bunker of the
Pacific Mail liner Manchuria has OBJ
tanned a patent for an invention that
may effect a considerable saving in
the consumption of coal
Bunker declares that he has been
able to reduce the Manchuria's coal
consumption from 172 tons per day to
116, and he makes the optimistic
prophecy that there are many i'm
provements yet to be made, all of
which will make further reductions
in the amount of coal necessary to
drive steamers on which the inven-
ton is fitted.
The experiments have been going
on for a few years, and now Bunker
is able to make the announcement
that he has got to a stage where he
can with safety promise substantial
reduction in the coal bill. The patent
issued is entitled Means for Treat
ing Exhaust Steam in Piston En-
gines."
The inventor is reported as having
said that he would allow the Pacific
Mail Co. the free use of his device
on the six steamers that it has run
ming across the Pacific. This gener
osity is prompted by the assistance
that he has had in the free use of ma
terials, ETC., on board the Manchurif
during the experimental stages.

THE COMMON CUP, A DISEASE
SPREADER.

SPREADER,
There can be no doubt that the recent
order OF the Vermont state board of
health that the common drinking cup in
public places shall be abolished after
May l is along the lines of sane health
regulations. That it viii be easily en-.
forced is another question, to which
there is chance of negative answer, pro-
vided public sentiment OF the people of
Vermont is not stirred up to the extent
of absolute demand. The adjustment
of the common drinking cup may possi-
bly, be looked upon as a passing fancy
of health cranks and medical men; but
| investigations are sufficient to disprove
that fallacy. We have not the figures
at hand, showing the number of germs
which have been detected on drinking
cups in many situations, but the figures
were sufficient TO be staggering. And
when one stops to think of the matter,
| it is easy to imagine the correctness
of the Investigations as conducted by
analysis. The mouth is one of the
body's greatest agencies for the trans
hitting of disease germs, and since the
mouth comes in contact with the edges
Of the drinking cup it is reasonable to
believe that many germs are detached
from the mouth and lodged on the sur
face of the cup, there to remain a mem
ace to the next conner of the hundreds,
perhaps thousands, who may use the
same receptacle, Thus the process of
collecting disease germs goes on, person
by person, with some OF the germs be-
coming dislodged every time and being
transmitted to the mouth of the drinker.
As most everyone knows, some of the
most loathsome of diseases and the most
yirulent are transmitted through the
contact of the mouth, either directly or
indirectly, and when a person uses one
of these common drinking cups he sur
renders himself to the chance of con-
tracing some OF these diseases. Do
you wish TO run the chances OF contract
ing an affection which viii smireh your
system and lead to quick dissolution OF
the body? TO prevent the possibility OF
such transmission by the adjustment OF
the use of the common drinking cup is
the purpose of the Vermont state board
of health at this time. Such revolu
tionary move may be brought about
slowly; but it is bound to come sooner
or later. Let Vermont people be among
the foremost in this wise precaution

one finds almost no state university in
the West whose head is an alumnus.
Van Hise Of Wisconsin and Hutchings
OF Michigan are the only ones, and the
latter is acting president. In this part
Of the country ii would be regarded al
most as sacrilegous for any institu-

But all these New England colleges
are very old and they probably had to
exist for long time before they raised
up an alumnus worthy to be their presi-
dents. The state universities of the
West all date from about the time of
the Civil war; they have certainly had
their greatest development since that
time, and as this has been less than
fifty years, II is not to be wondered

One Oklahoma Fiaule.

The action OF fifty banks in Oklahoma
in applying for national charters within
the last two weeks is tolerably good evil
dence that they are dissatisfied with con
ditions in that state. For some time it
has been reported that a levy Of two
per cent. on their gross deposits would
be made to build up the state guaranty
fund This was done on March 3, except
that it was only one per cent, instead
of two, but was enough TO send many
of the banks rushing to cover. They
went into the Oklahoma guaranty sys-
tenn largely for advertising advantage,
but they now find that they have to
pay very heavy price for the com
modify.
How heavy tax the Oklahoma guar
anty system is putting on the banks
can be understood from few figures.
One OF the banks which has Just applied
for admission to the national system has
a capital of $4,000 and deposits of
S500,000 The one per cent. assessment.
therefore, would subject it to pay
ment of 10 per cent. of all its capital.
II this were often repeated, the capital
of the concern would not last long. The
cost of the system has been large, and
the benefits decidedly problematical.
The banks are as eager to get out of
the system as they originally were to
get in. The situation puts good many
institutions in a rather absurd light,
since they originally threw away their
national charters and now meekly ask
to be allowed to take them back.
Conditions in Oklahoma have not been
very favorable to the testing of this sys-
tenn II still remains true that the diff
culties experienced there will always as
sert themselves with any guaranty sys-
tenn The plan is costly, even when
business failures are kept down to
minimum, and IL is exceptionally so
when failures are increased by the tend
ency toward reckless management pro-
duced by the assurance that losses will
be Jointly shared in the event Of catas-
trophe. This guaranty system has been
spoken as "insuring" bank depositors
but experience shows that the risk is
too heavy when every bank is admitted
The situation is like that which would
exist in life insurance company where
every man was accepted, no matter what
his physical condition might be- ANY
such plan would break down in disaster.
The best bank guaranty system, as the
