SOLVED PROBLEM OF SPEED
Engineers Happy Thought Enabled Lusitsnl= to Obtain Requirements
 Called For.

A year ago 1 crossed the ocean with Sir William White, the expert em. ployed by the British government in building the fast vessels of their navy We were on the Lusitanis and he told me the story of that steam. ship, He was called in as counselor by the builders. When the boat was built. 1t was figured out that she should make twenty-three or twenty four knots an hour. AS matter of fact, they could not get her above twenty-two knots. no matter how hard they drove the engines or how much coal they burned.
 He instituted 8 series of expert. ments, and 1t finally occurred to him that it was useless to try to drive the engines harder, The propellers, driven beyond a certain speed, beat up the water SO rapidly that the air united with the water, with the effect that the propellers found no core sponding resistance. The water was too light It was as when a man pushes his feet against pillow. It occurred to him to enlarge the blades of the propeller. When he added 25 per cent. to the area of the blade, rais- ing it from eighty to hundred feet. at once the boat shot ahead up to the estimated speed.-Rev. H. A. Stimson in the Missionary Herald.

The Railroad

II was much interested in the announcement published in The Morning Journal to the effect that a railroad is going to be built from Holbrook to St. Johns by a company which will take out millions of feet of lumber" said A. NJ. Patton of Denver yes- terdag. MT. Patton IS one of a groupDf Denver men who are f. nancing the Liman irrigation project. at St. Johns, or immedi- ately adjoining that town. With the cqtpperation of St. Johns people who have organized a company and are doing all the construction work, this group ofcapitalists, headed by J. F. Church, as president, is supply ing $I5O, 900 to $20O,O0O to fin ance the proposition winch will reclaim some I5,O ,OO0 acres by ir- rigation from the Little Cobra do river. A dam is now nearing completion, which will impound 30,0O0 acre feet, being located twelve or fourteen miles above St. Johns.
 "We are forty-6ve or fifty miles from the railroad, "said Mir. Pat ton, "and rail communication will be a great thing for that part of Arizona. We expect to get our project far enough along to do some jrrigating tLis sea, s1n."-Albuquerque Journal.
 The railroad referred to above is not scheduled tO be built into Sl Johns. as the southern ter. minus is at q point a number ol miles west and south of that town. However, in view of the and extensive development of the St. Johns country 1t is not i'm probable that the road will build there at date in the near future This would be of untold benefits tO that country und would mean uIucil to it aud incidentally by q profitable venture for the rail, road company. ..

''This is the 'steenth time I've barely got it started when some one wants to write his friend that he en- joyed the dinner he took with him yesterday or wishes to inform some one whom he never saw and never will see that he received his valued fayor-which he never even read throughput though he can do abso- lutely nothing for him he begs, most ardeutly, to remind him that-and so oni Huhi Talk about women gush- ing!"
 The bookkeeper turned an apprecia- tive countenance toward her and pre- pared to listen.

 Actually, there aren't ten letters a day that are absolutely necessary" she declared. There's a lot of fol derol, that passes back and forth, and gets filed as business, though it is simple waste of time and postage. When the men receive the letters they realize what rubbish they are and laugh at them. But when they get started dictating they like the sound of their own voices,
