BUSY TAIL OF A WHALE.
Legend of the Origin of the Idea of the
Screw Propeller.

Screw Propeller.
The following extraordinarily inter-
esting story is printed by the Marine
Journal with the express stipulation
that it cannot guarantee its ~authentici-
ty, but gives it for what it is worth:
"'Way back in 1893 the stout Dutch
bark Groote Marie. Captain Van der
Brock, bound from Amsterdam to the
East Indies. became disnInntled in try
ing to round the Cape of Good Hope
and, because of high seas. was in a
generally bad plight. Just as things
were looking particularly black an in
vestigation of Il terrific bow received
by the vessel on her high. square stern
revealed the fact that IL large whale
had crashed partly through the rear
boards and had got caught in the tim
bers. Fortunately water which was
pouring into the aft hold was prompt
ly blown put through the open hatch
way by the struggling animal, and in
~endeavoring to release itself the big
mammal dashed the water with its tail
SO violently that it propelled the bark
ahead at seven knots an hour into
Cape Town harbor.
1T was in watching the mighty eff
feet of the whales tail that the good
captain conceived the idea of a screw
propeller. but neither the Dutch mer-
chants of Cape Town nor his brother
shippers, of Amsterdam were suffi-
GENTLY interested in his tale to unite
with him in patentfng the device"

1884 - - ~ 49,
A letter was read from Senator Say
lor stating that he had received an as
sessment bill from the commissioners
of adjustment, which was incorrect, az
he had his sidewalks put in privately
and paid for it. A letter was read from
the wal department stating that the
government comtem plated projecting
life saving house property, but before
making plans wanted to know what
the borough expected to do for the pro-
lection of private property. A number
Of notes In the bank were ordered re-
newed and the monthly bills were
ordered paid. An ordinance providing
for the issuance of $50, 800 worth of

the bonds printed as quickly as posi-
BILE. Judge H. H. Voorhees, was pres
emit and informed Council that he had
taken the water matter before the State
Utility Commission again on the
grounds that in 1907 the borough enter
ed into a ten year contract with the
then Anglesea Water Company for
water at the rate of 25c per 1000 gallons,
and he contends that the recent ruling
of the utility board placing the rate at
80c is illegal during the life of this con-
tract, which was authorized by ordi-
nance, and has three years yet to run.
The case was reargued a few days ago
aud Judge Voorhees, is expecting a deci-
sion soon. This rate only applies to
users OF water in the Borough of North

THE KING is KING.

No "Power Behind the Throne" In
England, 1t Is Said.
1t is often asked who really inspires
the kings attitude upon current ques-
lions of the day and. more particular
ly, who writes his speeches?
The king takes. it is possible to
state. the closest interest in every lead
ing question of the day. and, while he
must of necessity TAXI the advice of
his responsible ministers. he has views
of his own that he does not hesitate
to pronounce whenever the occasion
calls for 1t. while his speeches he
''roughs out" entirely by himself.
This draft of what his majesty de-
sires to say is then passed on to the
officials of the private secretaries Of
fee. who prepare the speech In set
form and submit it to his majesty in
formal language. This he goes through
most carefully. and it often takes two
or three rewritings before the king is
thoroughly satisfied with 1t.
1t may be said at once, however. that
no words uttered by the king are APP
proved until they have passed his most
careful scrutiny. 1t is likewise posi-
BILE to add that his majesty is an ex-
tremely good %impromptu speaker and
that some of his most notable utter
ances have been made without any
previous preparation of any kind

Some people will continue to
strain at a gnat and swallow a
camel, and so do many of the
newspapers of the State do the
same thing. They howl about
the State debt and the loss of in
surance. The only bad thing a.
bout the State debt is, it has not
been used altogether as 1t should.
There is no need for worry about
small State debt if the people
can get the benefits. But we op.
pose the gobbling up of State
funds as much as anyone. In the
insurance business, we invite you
to the companies own report,
which shows that the people of
this State in the past twenty
years have paid $780, 100000 for
$40, 100000 protection. If the
people who insure had this $780,.
000,O 900, kept by the companies,
bow placed In savings banks, we
would have all the availa BILE
funds necessary to care for our
business, and declare dividends
each year to the insured. Insur.
dnce is nothing more than "a sys-
tenn whereby we share each 9TH
ers' risks and supply the cash TO
REIN burse those who suffer loss.
Why not the people organize and
establish savings system, and
pay our losses from such fund?
Any bank will keep the funds
and pay us dollar for dollar with
interest. Then why pay compan.
les 20 cents to keep 40 cents of it
for us until we need it?

4 The wealth of John Q. Q. Mayo
is variously estimated to be be-
tween $4,000, 600 and $20,O00,-
900. If it is only ten million, he
is worth more than the total as
sessed value of all the lands and
improvements of johnson coun-
ty, where he lives, together with
the five adjoining counties of
Lawrence, Martin, Floyd, Magof-
fin and Morgan, the combined as.
sessments of all of the lands and
improvements in these six coun.
ties being but $9,520,542. If he
should be worth the twenty mil
lions, he can buy, at its assessed
value, all the lands and improve.
ments of all the coal producing
counties where his holdings lay,
including his own lands.
The study of these figures and
Mr.. Mayo's wealth present two
conclusions, one of them being
that if he is worth what he is said
to be, all the other people in
these counties are very poor, or
else the lands are assessed at on.
ly about one.tenth of their real
value. We are inclined to think
that the latter conditions prevail
and the State authorities should
look little better after the as.
sessment of such valuable miner.
al lands and make them share
their burden of taxation aud help
to relieve the States financial
stress.
