Mo-, Thursday, September 7th,
1911, at 1890 A. M, Mrs. Elizabeth
Boswell, relict of the late John R.
Boswell, aged So years, 10 months
and % days. She was buried on
Friday, near Hopewell church, Of
which she was a member, Rev. j.
H. Calvert preaching her funeral
sermon before a large congrega-

was a good woman, a faithful

The express company does not
relish the idea OF paying a city IL
cense of S25 annually, and is try
ing to get the council to reduce the
amount. AS the express company
probably does $4,000 worth of bus
mess at this place in a year, an
annual license of S25 does not
seem exorbitant. The Western
Union Telegraph Company, how
ever, has paid no attention to a
demand made on it for S25 city Ii
cense. AS the telegraph company
does very little business at the Of
fee here this tax is altogether too
high, and, rather than pay it, the
company would probably close
the Ironton Office. We don't want
this to happen. The tax should
be lowered, or, perhaps, done
away with, altogether, in this in
stance.

RULES FOR LONGEVITY.

Josiah Zeitlin, said to have been
Brooklyn's oldest citizen, is dead at
the age Of 106 years. He was
child in Moscow when the Russians
burned that city at the advance of
Napoleon, and when the United
States and England were engaged in
their second conflict.
He was born in 1904 in LODI,
Poland. He retired from business
in Moscow 30 years ago and came to
this country soon after. He leaves
three sons, the oldest Of whom is
scventy-six years old, and Is grand
children.
His rules for longevity were:
"Don't worry. Never be in hur-
ry. Don't eat what you call quick
lunches. Take but little meat, es-
pecially in early life. Sleep eight
hours a day. Never fool with doc
tors, and don't 90 into a drug store
except to get stamp or to consult
the directory. When you reach the
age Of ninety years you may do

Good Dramatic Criticism.

The late Richard Mansfield al
ways felt that he owed more to the
wise discernment and stanch sup
port of the Chicago Record-Herald
than to any other agency, outside
himself, that contributed to his ul-
innate triumph as an actor. Ask
any disinterested observer to tfeat-
rical matters today who is the best
dramatic critic in Chicago, and ten
to one he will say James O'Don-
nell Bennett Of the Chicago Record
Herald. Mr.. Bennett is unques-
tionably the leading critic in his
domain in the west. He writes
with fearless fairness and a keen
appreciation of real merit that
makes his articles genuine force
for the betterment of the stage.
His knowledge of the history and
principles of dramatic art is suf-
ficient to lend depth to his utter
ances, yet he has the newspaper
mans knack of making his work
breezy and interesting for the aver
age man and woman. His col
unlns are always newsy as we'll as
readable in their judgments. Any
one who will follow the dramatic,
musical, literary and art depart
ments of the Chicago Record-Her-
aid from season to season need
have no fear about keeping abreast
of all that is latest and finest in the
movement of modern culture.

That the I1omestake Mining

on its ST 600, 900 hydro-electric
power plant in Spear6sh canyon
and is making better progress than
at first expected. Not only is the
four miles of tunnel work, the
hardest part of the project compile
ted, but its cement lining is about
finished and within a short time,
water will be run through the tun
mel. The concrete dams, reinforced
with steel pilings and bar steel, are
completed and the company is di-
recting its energies toward the new
power house. Sixteen carloads of
machinery have arrived at the
Homestakc camps in the canyon
and are being unloaded to set up
for the plant. The grading for the
plant has commenced and is being
pushed with the return of good
weather. When the plant is COM
pleted the coming fall. the plants
at Lead, Terraville, Central City,
Gayville and Deadwood, where the
ore is treated, will all use electric
instead OF steam power. The cleo
trio plant being constructed will
generate from 5000 to 10000
horsepower.

SHIPS MADE STEADY
GWoscope Has Wonderful Ef-
feet on Vessel.
Engineer Tells Naval Architects and
Engineers How il Stops Rolling
Motion of Boats and How APP
piled to Compass.

New York.@The wonders of the gy-
roscope were limited at by Elmer A
Sperry at the meeting of the naval
architects and marine engineers at the
Engineering Societies building. He
told how ships could be made to keep
an even keel In heavy sea, and how
the gyroscopic force was applied to
the compass.
The meeting was the second day ses-
sion of the annual gathering OF the
naval men for the presentation of
their scientific papers on wide range
of subjects. Besides the gyroscope.
such subjects were discussed as the
reduction of loss by fire aboard ship,
the use of producer gas as motive pow
er, and coaling warships.
when the motive power of vessels
changed from an upsetting force (the
sally to one almost exclusively Of for
ward thrust" said Mr.. Sperry, "the de-
sign of ships underwent quite radical
changes In connection with lines af-
| fecting the stability, decreasing this
factor and favoring decreased resist
ance, aiding the attainment of higher
speeds. Now that stability may be
| impaired to a structure of naturally
small righting movement, we are on
| the eve of even more radical changes
| in design.
The problem is to hold the ship
from rolling by neutralizing with the
gyroscope each disturbing influence as
/ = he ~h xuh I'M
selves of all the aid possible through
the design of the hull and the dispo-
sition of the masses. A great
many ships as they now stand could
with profit utilize the gyroscope
| steadying gear, which is at present
available, and some important installa-
tons are now being contemplated"
Mr. Sperry told us seeing Russian
warships constructed in Hamburg
which were furnished with $50 to 400
tons of water slushing back and forth
periodically In huge tanks to counter
act the roll of the ship so as to make
| 1t possible to operate the guns on a
level The movement of the water has
| to be timed to the roll of the sea, and
when 1t gets out of time 1t turns into
| O menace.
The gyroscope, on the other hand.
is not limited to any particular Pc
Rod of the boat; 1t simply responds
| to whatever motion the ship has,
| synchronous or non-synchronous."
said Mr. Sperry, 'the question is often
asked: Why is a gyroscope better
than a moving weight in ship for
roll quenchingT Every pound in the
rotating mass of the gyro can be-
made to do the work of from $50 to
200 pounds, and directed in any de-
sired line or plane, whereas when we
use water or any other form of NOV
ing weight each pound represents a
pound only and can do the work of
only pound and only in vertical d.
rection."
Mr.. Sperry gave very interesting.
though strictly scientific demonstra-
ton of the peculiar faculty possessed
by the gyroscope which made it pos
sible to transfer energy around a
center" He compared shio with
out gyroscope to ship with one.
