BRUSSELS, September 30.-Prepara-
tons are under way here for the de-
parture of King Albert for the United
States. He will travel under an in
cognito leaving here as soon as he can
arrange the affairs of his kingdom.
The object of his visit will be a study
Of American industrial methods with a
view to providing for Belgiums in
creasing foreign trade.
The trip has long been cherished

of the few projects of his father that
he is in harmony with. The king will
probably assume one of his less
famous titles for the visit and will de-
vote most of his time to commercial

Economical Method.

that is. placing the meat in a moder-
ately hot pan and cooking it until done
without any additional fat. This plan
is usually in favor for the finer cuts
of steaks, but there is no reason why
it should not be applied to freshly
ground-up beef with the same results.
If properly prepared. cheap beef may
be made quite as palatable and as nu-
tritious as the finer steaks.9sIn roast
ing meat the most OF its nutrient value
must be lost in its cooking process.
This waste can be materially lessened
If a covered baking pan is used. The
juices from the roast are full OF nutrl a..
ment and always should be utilized in
some way.
There are many vegetables which
contain a large proportion OF the quail
ties found In meat. When these are
used less meat is required for that
meal. Beans and peas. especially. be-

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements it is
essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated interchangeably with each
other and in close physical connec-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
to provide against the very frequent
cable interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one of the companies Of the Western
Union group has, independently of the
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which at times any one
company might be called upon to take
care of, because of some particular
rush Of business, or because of some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample if they
could be used supplementary to each
other and INTERCHANGEABLE.
AS it is, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
tinct Offices and under separate and
distinct management. Allinterchange
of business is by actual transfer of the
business from one company to the
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption of service in which
seconds are valuable.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo Amer
lean and the Direct U. S. companies
will bring the eight cables of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at cost of
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction of rates or introduction
of new services

fecting the proposed dam was OBJ
tanned by and in the name of the
promoting company, the Keokull &
Hamilton Water Power company,
which later transferred all it's prop
erty and rights to the Mississippi
River Power company, the present
going corporation. The basic act OF
congress was signed by the president
on February 8, 1905, and may be
obtained by anybody who will write
to the war department ,or public
document No. 65.
This law, commonly called the
franchise, provided that in lieu of
the flooded canal, locks and dry docks,
the dam company shall build, coin
cidentally with the construction OF
said dam and appurtenances, at loca-
tons approved by the secretary of
appurtenances." Then follows full re-
quirements as to the building of these
locks and docks for the government and
the requirement: THAT when the
said dam, locks, dry docks and appurt-
enant works shall have been compile
ted to the satisfaction of the secre-
tary of war, the United States shall
have the ownership and control of said
lock, dry dock and their appurtenances,

Water Power company shall provide,
in connection with such lock, dry
dock and appurtenaces, a suitable
power plant for operating and light
ing the same, according to the plans
and specifications submitted to and

The later federal law giving the
right to condemn land by any corpo-

Peculiar Thunder Last Evening Dur
ing the Storm Which Did Not
Act as Was Elk
pected.
TWO STRANGE CRASHES
Lightning Was Darling Across the
Heavens Instead of Flashing
Downward Toward
the Earth.

Trot out the thunder and lightning
expert, for there are some things
about the peculiar thunder of last ev-
ening which we want explained.
During the storm of last evening,
there were several rather peculiar
sounding peals of thunder. unlike any
thing usually heard and so strange
that 1t was actually startling.
Thunder, as rule, is not always
alike, but there was one peal last
night that sounded different from any
thing ever heard before and those
who heard it, are still talking about
it.
Instead of. steady roll Of noise,
there was first an explosion in the
heavens, which sounded just like a
blast and this was followed by the
cracking roll which doomed through
the sky from west to east over the
city's head. This occurred at about
1920 o'clock.
Shortly after midnight, there was
another queer sounding commotion in
the sky, very similar to the one de-
scribed above, only the first noise in
stead of sounding like blast, sound
ed more like the crash of falling
glass.
| Throughout the night, there were
peculiar sounding peals of thunder
which made the timid people wonder
what was going to happen.
These strange sounding peals came
just after the flashes of lightning
which ran across the sky, instead OF
running down to the earth and the
thunder and lightning expert, if he
could have been on hand, would have
had a fine opportunity to study the
| electrical storm He could no doubt
explain just what caused the explo
sions in the sky in scientific terms sc
/ perplexing that no one would under
/ stand what he was talking about, but
/ it would have been a relief to have
known even that much.
Yesterday was a hot, muggy day
and splendid weather breeder Ev
erything was arranged just right for
1 a hard, electrical storm last night
but it was a gentle rain that fell in,
stead and this vicinity likely came
out lucky. During the night, however,
| the rain came down rather hard at
/ times.

Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities

AS at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically
all fash service, l. E. instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only few business hours of the
day common to both sides and during
these hours at least ISL of the cable
business is done. This is demon
strated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests OF international
business nothing should be done to
interfere in any way with the so-called
fash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear to &C
commodate such messages during the
few business hours common to both
countries but to continue to eonfne
the cables TO this class of service, as
at present, will utilize only about as
of the existing capacity of millions of
property and places on that limited
service all the capital, maintenance
and operating charges.

Monopoly of Gable
Business Impossible

There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systems-the
Western Union, the French and the
Mackay-will continue to exist.
The Mackay Companies is hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operst-
ing control of various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Macksy System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in tho
transatlantic cable business:
I-BETTER SERVICE. This will be
insured by more efficient and econom-
ical working resulting from single
direction over the operations of both
cables and land lines.
2-PUBLIC ADVANTA GEES. Tho
greater part of the cable capacity has
been and is now unutilized. 1t will
continue to lie dormant and untitled
under existing conditions and tradi-
tons. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by means of new kinds
of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationalize its land lines by
opening them to all trans Atlantic
cable companies.

A provisional modification Of an
arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo-American Cable
Company and the Direct U. S. Cable
Company, under which the cable sys-
tens of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained separately, will be oper-
ated in direct physical connection
with each other and with the Western
Union land system.
Two objects are to BIO attained by
this arrangement:
First, more efficient and economi.
col operation.
Second, the introduction Of neD
forms of service to the advantage of
the public.
The Trans Atlantic Gable
Situation and Competition
The trans Atlantic cable situation
is as follows:
The Mackay group of seven ca
bles, including the German cables,
owned by or worked in physical con-
nection with the telegraph lines Of
that company form one system.
The French cables comprise an in
dependent system, using both the
Western Union and the Mackay land
lines for their United States connec-
ton.
In competition with these is the
Western Union group of cables, eigh
in all, owned by three separate com
panies, two of which are British
companies owning five of the eigh
cables.
