MILITIAMENDO
GREAT WORK
On Cruiser MarbIehead They
Have Real Man-Of-Wa
Duties.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.--Ac-
cording to the report to the secretary
of the navy made by Captain George
W. Bauer, commanding the California
naval militia, the practice cruise
made this month by that organization
in the cruiser Marblehcad was the
most practical and beneficial II has
yet had.
Thirty-two officers and $3.50 enlisted
men from the headquarters staff, en-
gineer division and eight line divis-
ions of the naval militia participated
in the cruise, which included visits to
Santa Cruz. Santa Barbara, San
Pedro and San Diego
Officers and men were subjected
throughout to the strenuous work of
man-of- warsmen. The officers stood
watch on the bridge and in the engine
room day and night, at anchor and
when under way and were given in
struction and practice in determining
the ships position by bearings of land
objects, by meridian and circum mer-
idian attitudes of the sun for latitude
and by time sights morning and after
noon for longitude. They were also
carefully instructed and practiccd in
deviation and variation of the CON-
pass, dead reckoning and coast pilot
age. The engineer division tended
the furnaces and ran the engines.
The quartermasters were taught the
"wigwag,' semaphorc, Ardols ant
wireless signal systems. The enlisted
men were drilled with boats and with
the guns of the battery, engaging in
sub calibre practice with the four
inch guns.

IN AGRICULTURE CHAIR

Land Commissioner Charles S. Judd

held yesterday afternoon In J. M.

and the adopting of a new system of
keeping the books. .iiil y3t.'
In, his monthly report Chief Forest
err Ralph S. Hosmer stated that work
in connection with the planting of
eucalyptus in Hawaii was being push
cd ahead and also that the recent
bulletin on the subject issued by the
department was receiving much at
tentiOn.
The forest service has continued its
allotments of former years and has
set aside the sum of $500 u year for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912,
for experimental forest planting in
Hawaii. Several forest fires were re-
ported during the month and one of
them burned out about $50 acres of
grass and forest land. 1t started on
the ridge between Halemanu and
Opaeula gulches and burned down a
little way into the gulches on either
side. II is thought that II was started
through the carelessness of a cavalry
man throwing lighted cigarette stub
into the grass. Three small fires oc-
CURED but they were only grass and
were soon put out. Their start Is at
tributcd to the same cause.
Nursery Report
David Haughs In his report on the
conditions at the nursery during the
month stated that 10000 plants had
been given away in seed boxes, 1900
in boxes into which they had been
transplanted and 2SS in pots, making
"A total of LASS. The number sold
in pots amounted to 1870.
Collections for July amounted ia
$3Ol0.l5, which was made up from
plants and seeds sold and also $2955
payment for timber cut In Hawaii by
the Hawaiian Development Company
under logging license of January 10,
1910.
The work of collecting the various
kinds of seeds has gone ahead and
also that of planting out the expert
mental lots in Nuuanu Valley. Al
together seven half acres and two
third acre plots have been set out
with various kinds of eucalyptus.

Mr.. Dodge answered most of the
questions from a personal standpoint.
Some of them he stated that he could
not answer off-hand, and some he had
not the necessary information to an

Two important questions he an

GREAT nozzle
JUST FINISHED
Apparatus From Which Con.
crete is Shot Proves Time
and Money Saver

Concrete work started this morning
on the ordnance shop ut Fort Rugcr.
This shop is to be the largest ever
constructed for the mendlng of Uncle
Sans guns and battery machinery and
will he rushed through with all possl-
bic haste. Not only will the guns of
Fort Rugor be repaired in this. ordnance
shop, but all that are installed in the
numerous forts OF the Hawaiian Is
lands.
The concrete mixture viii he forced
into and around its reinforcement by
the wonderful cement gun that Captain
Edwards, L. $. A., has demonstrated
with such great results.
The only trouble that ever arose In
the use of this method of building mas
by Edwards and his assistants. This
slight trouble and drawback was the
sticking of the mixture In the nozzle
from which II shot Several other noz-
zlcs were then constructed, but these
also seemed to clog when not treated
very carefully. These nozzles were of
the swirl variety and consisted Of two
parts, with two. pipes feeding the in
side casing with water and sand in
ldcpcndcntly of one another.
Any amount of sand could he let IN
dry. then swirlcd and mixed by the
| water needed, fed In by separate
pipe. The sand not taking the mixture
would fall to the ground, dry and 1T
used over again so that there was ne
waste whatever.
| The mixture was perfect, but the
swirling water and sand when fed toe
fast would clog. To-ovcrcomc this
Captain Edwards, with his construc-
tion men, got busy and invented q
nozzle that has no swirl, and win not
clog. The new nozzle proves so high
in efficiency that 1t viii undoubtedly
he installed in every cement gun used
by the United States government.
The theory worked upon was that of
II thorough mixing by an abrupt chok-
ing and then sudden expansion.
The nozzle Is constructed In such a
manner as to cause the sand, cement
ana water to choke up and expand
| three separate times before being shot
out, thereby giving "a mixture that is
absolutely thorough In nature.
But the most important point In re-
gard to this new apparatus is the PROV
on fact that II can not be cloggcd up
no matter what kind of material Is
forced into II.
Because of not clopging, the new
nozzle not only becomes "a great asset
In time saving, but also In the saving
| Of money.
The sand obtainable on these Islands
is useless In concrete work. due to Its
coral composition, and the government
has been forced to send to the Coast
Tor all sand used In construction. This
sand has cost the exorbitant sum OF
81 per ton, and as II Is found the new
nozzle shoots crusher dust with the
same case II can sand, there will be
no further need OF sending for Coast
sand, there being lots of crusher dust
available on oahu that answers the
purpose just as well. This dust costs
about 81 n square yard. which Is quite
different to the price paid per square
yard for sand.
