MAKES SHIPS UNSUITABLE
New Invention That Is Being Tried
Out on American War
Vessels.

An invention for keeping water
from entering ships through holes by
means of compressed air is being
tested on board the battleship North
Carolina. Captain C. C. Marsh. COM
mander Of the North Carolina, thinks
that the use of the apparatus will pre-
vent vessels from going to the bot
tom following collisions. or when hit
by torpedoes or shells. and declares it
will revolutionize marine warfare.
The invention is merely an adaptation
to the compartments OF ships OF the
science of air pressure<as already ap-
piled to tunnel building. 1t was de-
vel6ped by one of the engineers OF
the subway in this city.

COURT OPINIONS IN SKELETON
Chief Justice White lnvents Labor.
Saving Device for Transmitting
Sense of Decisions.

Skeleton opinions have been in
vented by Chief Justice White. to re-
lieve the Supreme court of the
United States of much labor He has
named them officially memorandum"
opinions
This new sort of opinion was de-
signed to meet the heavy demands up
on the time and energies of the JUS
tees, due to the increased number of
cases taken under advisement since
Chief Justice White came to the head
of the court 1t will relieve the JUS
tices from making an exhaustive
statement In regard to all the facts
and law concerned in each case. and
yet will give to litigants more reasons
for the courts decision than would
be contained in the time-honored per
curiam' opinions.
Skeleton or memorandum" opin-
ions were recently given for the first
time and their nature was revealed
when the written opinions were filed
with the clerk of the court These
show that the justices take various
views of what a skeleton opinion
may be. Justice Lamar announced a
memorandum" opinion in which
everything said was based on cited
authority. Justice Lurton. on the
other hand. prepared one in which not
a single authority was citSd.

BIG DEMAND FOR 1911 COINS

There was an extraordinary de-
mand in the east and south. character
istic of the Christmas holiday season.
for quarters and half dollars of the

Washington treasury officials were
unable to determine whether the de-
mand was produced by desire Of
people to make small presents to
their friends in new money. or wish
of the banks to advertise to their
patrons that they were distributing
1911 coins. There is always a strong
pubic sentiment in favor Of new
money.

Wan. New Colorado Park.

The establishment of national
park in Colorado. totally different in
character. it is said. from any exist
ing park. and much closer to the CEN
ter OF population than any of the pres
ent reservations, is recommended In a
number OF letters received by Secre-
tary Of the Interior Fisher
"The general idea of having large
park st or near the place proposed ap-
pea.s to me personally" said Secre-
tary Fisher. but before such action
could be take2 1t would he necessary
to have an examination made OF the
territory. Therefore 1t would be nee
essary TO submit the matter to con.
gress, as the department has no avail
able money even for the survey"
The park as proposed would include
an area OF about 100000 acres. Por-
tions Of Grand. jackson. Larimer and
Boulder counties would be included
and the park would take in Longs
Peak. Grand lake and the canyons of
the Big Thompson river.

About year ago the bank COM

to obtaining information as to why
requests for loans were not more
numerous. and the replies received
were. without exception. to the effect
that the people possessed neither
royal nor Torrens titles and that the
requirements for securing good titles
were soscomplicated and expensive
that the people would not attempt
to secure them. Recently. however. a
system has been inaugurated by the
government to aid the people in ac-
quiring Torrens titles, but the system
has not been in effect sufficiently long
