ARC LIGHTS DEFENDED
BY ELECTRICIAN ALLEN
Better Continuous Light Supplied
by Lamps in Use Than Under
Former System.

Claiming that the term 100 candle
power is a descriptive term rather than
an accurate one, and that the lamps now
furnished by the Potomac Electric Light
ing Company give a better average light
than did the old-fashioned spluttering
arcs. William C. Allen. the Districts
electrical engineer. has explained in
five-page letter to Commissioner Judson
just why the electrical department has
been accepting service from lamps said
to be 700 candlepower. The law calls for
1000 candlepower.
Mr.. Aliens Explanation.
The explanation by Mr.. Allen is techni-
cal i'm great degree. 1t says. however.
that after a years test of thirty-seven Of
the present style lamps. over which there
has been so much alteration, the Com
missioners adopted that lamp. This. ex-
PLANTATION of Mr. Aliens put the matter
in part up to the last board of Commia-
sioners,
Mr.. Allen quotes a section of the hear
ings before the House appropriations
committee December s. 1894, wherein ie,
was stated by Chem Commissioner
Powell. that it would be difficult to meas
ure accurately thousand-candlepower
lamps and suggested that some other
electrical measurement be used.
Better Continuous Service.
The entire presentment to Maj. Judson
is framed SO that IL is seen that Mr..
Allen believes that taking into consider
alton the bad features of the old style
lamps. such as Cottages" Pickering, etc.
the new style lamp gives a better con-
tinuous service.

DOUBTS RAISING maine
BY PRESENT METHODS
Foreman on Work in Havana
Harbor Disapproves of
Cofferdam Attempt.

NEW YORK, January 1S.-Now, when
the War Department is asking Congress
for an appropriation almost double the
amount that was originally awarded for
the work of raising the Maine from the
bottom Of Havana harbor. comes some
interesting testimony from one of the
foremen Of the undertaking. He is Jo-
seph Brady, who arrived here yesterday
as a passenger on the steamship Ha-
bana.
Il have been nearly two months on
that job Mr. Brady told a reporter
land when the army men say they can
raise that wreck in 100 days they are
talking through one of their lop-sided
cylinders. The way they are working
will require nearer ten times 100 days
before they can get the dam completed:
and when it is completed they will have
to build another dam around that II
they don't want 1t TO collapse when they
pump out the water
THE fact is, the Maine is never going
to be raised by any cofferdam method.
The nature of the bottom of the harbor
does not permit of that method. The
bottom around the Maine is too soft and
the mud extends to too great depth.
Why, not long ago one of the pile drt-
vers was driving a steel piling. The
piling got about fifty feet down when the
pile driver hit 1t lick. The piling went
clear out of sight, struck some particular
~ soft spot and sank"
Little Accomplished So Far.
The method adopted by the army en-
gineers contemplates the sinking of
half-hundred huge steel cylinders around
the wreck. The cylinders measure from
forty to fifty feet in diameter. Then they
expect to pump out the dam and expose
the wreck to view. The work has been
under way for several months.
''All that has been accomplished so
far Mr.. Brady continued. is the en-
placement of four of the cylinders. Two
of these have been finished. The pilngs
of the other two have stuck on wreckage
or something else hidden in the bottom.
Divers have been working for days trying
to locate and remove the Instructions. but
when I left Havana they had not found
these
Mr.. Brady was asked If anything had
been found to show whether the explosion
which destoryed the Maine came from the
inside or the outside.
Believe It Internal Explosion.
Most of the men at work on the job
believe that she blew herself up. Here
are two sections of two cartridge cases.
he replied, exhibiting two discs Of cop
per which evidently had formed the bot
toms Of two cartridge cases for the six
inch guns.
These" Mr.. Brady resumed, had been
found fully $50 feet from the bow. Much
other debris WAS found in the same local
ity There were some pepper stands and
salt cellars, evidently blown from the
mems quarters, and there also were found
the bones of a human hand.
Yes, / have read what Col. Black was
quoted as saying, that all of the bones
that had been picked up here were found
to be beef bones. but l saw this hand my.
self. and any one can tell human hand
from a beef bone. The hand was picked

Raw Musk.

Musk In the raw looks q good deal
like axle grease and smells worse. The
popular notion that the musk of COM
MERGE is obtained from the muskrat
is a mistake. There is obtained a
somewhat similar perfume from the
muskrat, but most of the supply
comes from the musk deer, a crca-
ture that is carefully reared in India
for the sake of the secretion. The
secretion is shipped in the crude state
and is used not only in the manufac-
turc of the liquid perfume sold az
musk, but also in very small -quanti-
ties to give strength and staying pow
err to many perfumes made from the
essential oils of flowers. Curiously
enough, the blossoms of two native
plants have a n%oticeably musky odor.
One Is the small yellow blossom Of a
creeping vine known as the musk
plant. It's odor is marked and is coun-
terfeited in the commercial perfume
called musk. The other is the blood
root. The pure white blossom Of that
early spring plant has n distinct
though delicate musky odor. A bean
known as the musk bean is a cheap
substitute for animal musk.

Washington, Jan. 25.-President

Roosevelt is in full sympathy with
the movement.
Later when it was sought to ascer-

the league this reply was given:
