Jupiter or Jove, was in the ascendant
They were supposed to possess more
of the cheerful elements of character
than others, and hence to partake of
the benign qualities attributed to the

All Waste In Coal Done Away With.

Waste in coal has practically been
eliminated. Even the waste from the
culm-bank washers is now being uti-
lized, for it is flushed into the mines
and partly fills old workings where
it cements together and furnishes sup
port to the roof when the coal previ-
ously left for pillars is removed.

Scientists and business men are
both beginning to understand that in
reality there is no such thing as
waste matter. The existence of what
we call waste or refuse is due mere

CHILDREN'S KIDNEYS.

having children troubled with kidney
weakness would do well to treat the
kidneys with tested and proven kidney
remedy. If there is pain in the back,

URGES U. S. ARM0R PLATE PLANT
Admiral Strauss Says 40 Per Cent.
Saving Could Be Effected.

Rear Admiral Strauss, chief of
ordnance of the Navy Department,
testified before the House Committee
On Naval Affairs that in his opinion
the Government could save about 40
per cent. in expenditures for armor
plate if it possessed Tlant of its
own.
Admiral Strauss was invited to
discuss the subject apropos of the
recommendation made by Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels that the Govern
ment should erect and operate an ar
NOR plate plant. The chief of ord
nance said that according to esti-
mates he bad prepared in conference
with other experts the Cove rnme Mt
could build q plant that would turn
ont &c. 600 tons of armor a year for
sI1 o0O. 600. A 10,000-ton plant
would cost So, 600, 900 and a 6,0O0-ton
plant Sc, 600, 900.
Admiral Strauss added that il
.h,se estimates were borne out in
n-actice the Government could make
srmor Mate for about $276 8 ton,
whereas it now pays $3.50 a ton to
nriyste manufacturers. He favored

WARSH|P WITH 1000
UNDER QUARANTINE
Seaman With Diphtheria Causes
Big Arkansas TO Fly Yellow
Flag.
LOOKS LIKE EPIDEMIC.
Symptoms Affect Mere Than 100
Mechanics.

The new battleship Arkansas,
which ties her sister chip, the Wyo-
ming, for the honor of being the
largest in the United States Navy, is
quarantined in the navy yard at
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The 1000 officers and men on board
will have no chance to leave her for
at least ten days or two weeks.
Capt. Roy G. Smith is one of the
quarantined thousand. The trouble
looks like the start of an epidemic of
diphtheris. One seaman, William
Dunston, was in the Naval Hospital
and fourteen other men were i'll of
severe sore threats and fever yester-
day afternoon.
There is no doubt that Dunston has
Ediphtheris. While the other four
teen men show symptoms under the
microscope, they do not yet show
that they have the disease under
clinical test. That is, the germs
have lodged in their throats, but so
far the germs have not got into their
blood.
AS matters stood last night there
was no immediate danger that the
whole navy yard would be quaran-
tined but if the trouble shows signs
of spreading beyond the Arkansas
the medical authorities of the yard
will pursue this course. Dr. Mailer
in charge Of the Naval Hospital,
said yesterday that he believed that
the sailors got the disease in the
ward All the men who are i'll
have been on the ship for the two
weeks the Arkansas has been in the
yard.
Dunston became i'll on Sunday
and was removed to the Naval Hos
pital. Later several of the men
complained of sore throats to the
ships doctor. by that time il was
suspected that Funston had diph
liberia and it was decided to hold
the men who we're i'll on the vessel.
In the morning, when a handful
more complained of the same symp-
toms, the yellow flag was run up.
More than a hundred mechanics
were employed in repairing the Ar
kansas. These men were not allow
ed to go on bosrd yesterdy. Several
hundred of the crew were on shore
leave when the battleship was quar-
antined. Two or three hundred re-
polted back yesterday. They were
met by an armed guard and Informed
that they did not have to go on board;
that there was diphtheria, and that
they could have more time if they
wanted. Those with money hailed
the opportunity to stay on shore with
glee, but many of them were broke
and would have no place to go if they
were barred from the ship. These
men decided to take their chances.

PosrMASrERy EXAMINATION
Eighteen Fourth Class Offices To B
Filled Under Civil Service Rules

Under an executive order recently
issued by the President. the Civil
Service Commission has issued no.
tice of examinations to be held a.
different points in Maryland Of all
persons desiring appointments as
postmasters of the fourth class IT.
Maryland, at which the annual com.
pensation is $3.50 or more, per an
mum.
Inquiry at the Annapolis postofiee
reveals the fact that while there are
fifty-two postoffices in Anne Arundel
county, but eighteen of such office
come within the class named in the
order. and of the remainder, Annapo-
lis excluded, of course, the compen-
sation of the postmaster is less than
the above amount.
The eighteen Offices for which eA-
aminations must be held in Anne
Arundel county are Churchton, Dav-
idsonville, Earleigh Heights, Elva-
ton. Galloways, Gsmbrills, Friend
shin. Harmans, Millersville, Mayo,
Odenton, Parole. Severn, Shady Side,
South River, Waterbury, West River,
Woodwardsville. 1t is a matter OF
interest to note also that Of the
eiehte an Offices named, six of the
present officials are women.
At a recent examination held for a
fourth-class Office in this county the
only applicant was the acting post
master and this is likely to be the
case in the coming examinations.
In few instances is the compensation
sufficient to tempt rival to enter
the competition. The examination
for the Anne arundel Offices will be
held in this city on March ID
