Oil Fuel for Worlds Navies.

Just what advantage is going to ac-
crue to the different world powers
by changing from coal to oil as fuel
for their war vessels is rather a diff
ticult question to decide. To be sure
oil will take up less room, is more
clearly, will require less labor, and
will give greater speed On the other
hand, it will be more dangerous to
protect in times of war and the ma
chinery for its use is more exposed
to attack than coal-burning appliances.
If only one or two countries were TO
make the changes from coal to oil,
then there might be some advantage.
The United States has been making
gradual changes along this line for
years. Now comes the announce
ment of the revolutional policy of
England practically changing her
whole navy from coal to oil. Scarcely
had this policy been announced until
it was given out officially that Rus
sia, France, Germany and Italy were
developing their navies in the same
direction. Other countries will be com.
PEELED to make the same changes in
their navies. In the end they will all
be equal again.
What effect the universal use of oil
for fuel in the navies of the world
will have on the future of the oil in.
dustry is problematical. Every ma
tion will naturally want to provide for
a certain supply of fuel in case Of
war. This will lead to the segrega-
tion of large areas to insure a sup
ply for the future as has already been
done in this country and Russia. 1t
will also lead to the withdrawal of
vast quantities of oil for storage for
the navies of each country. England

New Oil-Burning BattIship.

The British battleship Queen Eliza
beth, equipped for the use of oil for
motive power, was launched at Porth-
mouth, England, on October 16. The
new vessel, whose keel was laid on
October 81, 1912, is of an entirely
new type, and the details of her con-
struction are being kept secret. Her
armament is understood to consist
Of ten 15-inch guns mounted in pairs
of barbetters, while her secondary
armament comprises 4-inch or 6-nch
guns, also placed behind protective
armor This constitutes an improve
ment on the armament of her prede-
cessors. Under ordinary circum-
stances, the carrying of so heavy a
battery would imply a considerable
increase in displacement, but this is
obviated by the use of oil fuel The
substitution of oil tanks for coal bunk

Roy Cross secretary of the Kansas
City Testing Laboratory, has prepar
ed q comparative statement OF the
cost of heat in Kansas City. He finds
that, based upon the approximate
price OF fuel In Kansas City, 100000
British thermal units Of heat. or the
amount necessary to eyaporate 125
gallons of water, will require:
so pounds lump coal at 81 per ton,
16 cents.
70 pounds anthracite at $40 per ton,
SO cents.
SO pounds crude oil at ~ cents
per gallon, IS cents.
As pounds natural gas at 27 cents
per 1000, 27 cents.
As pounds natural gas at 80 cents
per 1000, so cents.
60 pounds artificial coal gas at so
cents per 1000, 70 cents.
$50 pounds water gas at so cents
per 1000, $1.4O.
292 kilowatt hours of electricity, at
cents per kwt. $14.6O.
His comparisons are interesting as
showing th9 relative cost between
the different kinds of fuel, but are
not quite fair as to oil, for he does
not take into consideration the cost
of handling oil and handling coal.

ers means great economy in weight
and space, and in this way it has
been possible to increase the offensive
and defensive armament and at the
same time keep the size and displace-
ment OF the new battleship within
limits. Should oil fuel prove sue
cessful in the case of the Queen Eliza
beth, all the large warshps in the
British navy will in the future be
similarly equipped

DEADLY PARALLEL CITED
Denunciation Score of Years
Ago by White of Taxing Cot
ton Futures Recalled.

There is always some old dry-as-dust
croaker with glittering eye and long
white beard like the ancient mariner
to bob up from behind a bookcase and
quote precedent or the deadly parallel, or
something, when folks are trying to do
things.
One of them crinkled into the Senate
press gallery today like roll of dry
parchment, and, thumbed the pages Of the
Record back twenty-one years to cite an
opinion of one who is now the chiefest
constitutional authority of the land, on
section of the pending tariff bill.
Happened Back in 1892.
1t was in 1892, and the present Chief
Justice of the United States, Mr.. White.
was senator from Louisiana. A bill
was pending before the Senate similar
in purport to the amendment to the tariff
bill proposing to tax and license dealings

Senator White. now Chief Justice. and
soon to be called upon to sit with his
colleagues in Judgment upon the consti-

no more pernicious, no more vicious, no
more fiagrantly unconstitutional legsa-

dermine and destroy the very foundation

All Roads in U. S. Under
taken by T. P. A.

: PHILADELPHIA. July 1.-THE Trav-
elers' Protective Association has named
a railroad committee with instructions tc
campaign for uniform mileage book
good on all railroads in the United
States. r. r. Boggs of this city has beer
appointed to look after the New England
and middle states district.
The trunk lines east OF the Rocky
mountain district have been divided into
four additional districts. each represented
by a member of the committee. Other
districts are the south Atlantic states;
the states Of Ohio. Indiana and Michigan:
Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri:
Wisconsin, Minnesota. Iowa, North and
South Dakota. Nebraska and Kansas,
At present about forty mileage books
are required by travelling men who have
business in all sections of the country.
According to Mr.. Boggs, some of the rail-
roads favor the project, while others OPP
pose it vigorously. The association hopes
to have the uniform book established In
the eastern part of the country within
the next two years.

Peter Rabbit had sat still just as lone

and sore from the wounds made by Hooty
the Owl but his curiosity wouldn't lei
him sit still minute longer. He just had
TO explore the Old Pasture. So with
many wry face and many an ouch
he limped out from the shelter of the
friendly old bramble bush and started
out to see what the Old Pasture was
like.
Now Hooty the Owl had taught Peter
wisdom With his torn clothes and his
aches and smarts he couldn't very well
forget to be careful. First he made sure
that there was no danger near. and this
time you may be sure. he took pains to
look all around in the sky as well as on
the ground. Then he limped out to the
verv patch of sweet clover where Hooty

When Peters stomach was stuffed full
he gave a great sigh of relief and limped
back to the friendly old bramble bush to
rest. But he couldn't sit still long, for
he just had to find out all about the Old
Pasture. So pretty soon he started out
to explore. Such a wonderful place as it

Brazos County Agriculture De-
veloped by the A. &
N. College

The development of Brazos County's
farming interests in the past few
years has been little short of wonder
full. The strides of prosperity that
have revolutionized the city of Bryan
and surrounding towns have marched
on in progressive triumph into the
pastures, fields and orchards, through
the gardens, poultry pens, stock barns,
even to the remotest bounds of this
fertile and productive territory. Every
department of farm work has felt this
new impulse of progress, and good and
glorious results are evident along all
the lines.
Situated so near the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of Texas,
where every detail of such work is
specialized, taught and demonstrated,
the people Of Brazos County are
doubly blessed in this branch of edu-
cation.
"The A. and M. College has con-
tributed more to the rapid develop
ment of the farming and livestock in
terests of Texas than any other force.
She has made good. She has reached
the farmer and she has reached the
stockman. Her graduates are actively
engaged in following the pursuits for
which they were trained. Her stu
dents are filling themselves to render
great service to the State of Texas,
and her instructors have accomplished
untold good for Texas" Those are the
words of ex-senator W. J. Bryan of
college aud now has a son enrolled |
there
In Texas today there are 298 farm !
ers who are looking to the Agricul. /
tural and Mechanical College to edu-
cate their sons. OF the 1913 cadets
enrolled at the big State school, sons
OF 29S farmers are enrolled And OF
the total enrolment more than one
half, or to be exact, 513 of the cadets
are studying agriculture. SO it looks
like the A. and NJ. College is pretty
much of a farmers college.
According to figures compiled by
Registrar Friley, 1OS farmers have
sons who are taking engineering
courses at the college while'there are
1876 farmers who have sons in the agri-
culture department Seven civil en-
gineers have sons enrolled in the en-
cheering school and five civil engi-
neers have sons in the agriculture
