OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
How Steel is Improved.


BY the employment of metals
whose names were hardly known
few years ago the usefulness and
durability of many kinds of steel
have been many times increased.
Take machine tool made of tung-
sen steel, for example. BY using q
tool of this kind, one lathe or planer,
and one man, Will do the work of
several. This is genuine conserya-
ton of labor and material. 1t CON
serves natural resources by reduc-
ing the necessities of consumption.
There is a rapidly increasing u.s.
of tungsten in other high-grade
steels. The same is true of other
meals. And there is
no question of the ultimate appl-
cation of some of them in the manu-
facture of structural and railroad
steel
We are adding both to he capacity
and the life of steel. This is the
best of all possible ways to con
serve the ore supply. To make pos
sible greater economy in the appli-
cation of power, of current cleo
tricity, is another practical conserva-
ton measure.
One of the important uses OF cleo
trici;y is illumination. With the or
i2inal carbon filament lamp, the con
sumption was watts per candle
power. The metallized carbon fila
ment brought this down to % watts,
the tungsten lamp to 12o watts,
the ductile tungsten lamp to l watt,
and now the General Electric com
pany announces nitrogen filled
tungsten lamp with a power con
sumption of only one-half watt per
candle power. Here is worth while
dent in the high cost of living.-Min-
ing Science.

Will Form Boxing League.

The University of Pennsylvania
boxing team recently elected officers
to formulate plans and take action
toward the formation of an inter
collegiate boxing league. The pro.
iec:ed organization IS the resu!- Of
five years effort by Pennsylvania
boxing enthusiasts to interest Other
universities in the establishment OF
such a league. One obstacle is the
Gus and an incentive to gambling.
1t is believed, however, that the
present effort will succeed, and that
boxing will be taken UP as an inter
collegiate sport.
If league is formed the Amateur
Athletic association novice rules
will be amended to serve as the
league code The projected regula-
lions call for a regulation costume
and eightounce gloves. Other rules
will provide for three rounds in all
competitions. an interval of one min
ute between rounds, each competi-
tor to be assisted by one second,
who shall be an undergraduate in
good standing; no coaching during
the progress of bout. No student
under IS years of age will be al
lowed to compete.

Hickey Will Bear Watching.

The baseball world is going to give
some attention to Branch Hickey,
St Louis Browns manager, this sea-
son. 1t will be interesting to note
whether the methods of a college
coach will apply 20 a major league
team. Hickey has decided that ma
ior league clubs can be run on the
same principles as collegiate outfits
and the outcome of this decision will
be watched with interest.
The Browns new manager has
started % train his players accord
ing to his own ideas According. to
report from St. Petersburg. Fla,
where the team is training, some
of the players are having siren
nous time of it. Gus Williams. the
outfielder, for instance, was kept on
the base path for fully three hours
the other day in an effort to teach
him the art OF running bases. Gus
ran up and down the base lines
so many times" says a correspond
end that had he focused his efforts o
running in a straight line he would
have been almost to Sportsman's
park. ST Louis, before sundoNn.
1t seems that poor Gus has been
marked by the managerial dscrimin
alton of Hickey for especial atten-
ton. Gus is forced to go through
all sor,s of stunts and he is kept
busy all day
That Hickey proposes to inject dis
cipline was forcibly illustrated tie
other day when Hamilton> and Baum
gardner, after taking a little work
out. disappeared from the playing
field without permission. Hickey
stormed and, calling a meeting of his
players. said: If any man leaves
the field in the future without my
permission he will have to answer

Jimmy Johnson. the fleet-footed
Outfielder who set new world

Popham Coal Again.
Oath Independent

This week Director Smith of the Unit
ed States Geological Survey has reported
on the additional samples of Popham coal
recently forwarded to him by the pub
Usher of the Independent for examina-
ton. The samples were big Jumps Of
beach coal, such as have been coming
ashore at Popham and Small Point from
time immemorial.
Mr. Smith does not greatly encourage
the idea that there is any large deposit
of commercial coal in the vicinity, but
he does not deny this time that there
might be exposed on the ocean floor
some small pockets of coal, which is
more favorable than anything that has
previously come from his Office. He de-
duces that if such deposits exist, they
are in comparatively shallow water and
not far from shore, and could be easily
located by a diver, and SO practically
puts it up to the people in this region TO
prove what is the source of the coal
found on the beaches after every storm.
We hope that explorations of this sort
will be undertaken, and that we may he

ton scientists by proving that Sagada-

Seventy-six years ago today the
first vessel to cross the Atlantic
all the way under steam arrived in
New York harbor at 10 o'clock at
night. 1t was the Sirius, a coast
wise steamer chartered from an
English company by Junius Smith.
a Connecticut Yankee. to beat
out another British vessel, the
Great Western, for the glory of
being the first real trans atlantic
steamship. The Great Western,
which had left Europe three days
later, arrived in New York only
few hours behind the Sirius. The
Savannah had crossed the Allan
tic nineteen years before but she
had used steam only during three
days of the voyage. The Sirius
made the trip from Cork, Ireland,
in eighteen days, making the last
of her historic run by burning her
extra spars and forty-three bar
rels of resin. A great crowd
gathered at Jones' wharf to cele-
brate the arrival and huge bonflres
were built along the waterfront
to light up the boat.

A Lot of New England Fairs.
(Brockton Enterprise.)

The Fitchburg Sentinel prints list
of IS fairs and light harness horse
racing meetings to be held in New
England the coming open-air season.
More than half of these are to be held
in Massachusetts,. which continues to
hold its supremacy in this respect.
There are more than dozen in Maine,
about a dozen in Connecticut, three in
Vermont and one in Rhode Island. 1t
looks like fairly busy season for the
people who have attractions or who
desire to match the speed of their
horses against that of animals of other
fanciers of good norseflesh. New Eng
land fairs have long held a place of
their own among the joys of the sum-
mertime and the fall. and the formi-
dable list printed in the Sentinel in
dieates little falling off in the worth
and attraetiveness of the outdoor
shows. They are certainly great fun
for lot of people, and they give a
small army of others living.

New Works. Choice Of Celebrations.
Boston Transcript

New York has at its command a
number Of events from which to
choose for a ter centennial celebration
this year 1t is 900 years since Adrian
Block built the "Onrust," the first YES
sci ever launched in the waters of
Manhattan and the historical pioneer
of New York's mercantile fleet. Fort
Nassau the trading post just below
the site of Albany, quite a stronghold
for its day. was erected in 1914. That
year witnessed the granting of the
charter of the New Netherlands by
the States General of Holland. New
York has chosen to observe the begin
ming of its commercial progress and is
preparing a celebration on a grand
scale. Possibly the city fathers are
not antiquarians and possibly they are
economists, but they have not re-
sponded so generously as was expect
ed to the demand for an appropriation.
The board of estimate, which was
asked to grant s250,00O, is willing to
give only a tenth OF that amount. and
a citizens committee has been APP
pointed to raise big celebration fund
by popular subscription. 1t seeks
100000, which seems a sum beyond
the requirements of a suitable obSer-
vance of the tereentenary. but as
multi millionaires are coming forward
as helpers the half a million may be
raised.

Then and Now

Today trans-a tlantic sailing
ship is as rare a sight in almost
any port as was a steamer
seventy-six years ago. To-Day
more than half of all the worlds
vessels are propelled by steam. II
has been an important factor in
the successful penetration of the
two polar regions, it has carried a
great fleet of American battleships
around the world, and almost daily
with engineering improvements 1t
has established some new speed
record. A modern swift mail
steamship can make nearly five
hundred miles a day. Using the
Suez Canal and the new gate way
at Panama, such a ship could en-
circle the earth in nearly
straight line in less than fifty
days-a voyage of $4,000 miles.
The old Sirius in her day would
have had to encircle Africa and
South America and make a jour-
ney of nearly $4,000 miles. At the
rate at which she made her first
trip across the Atlantic she would
have required practically seven
months
