the water.
The wonderful efficiency of a new
pump, which now pumps some of the
water supply of London and has at
tracted the attention of engineers every
where, makes the scheme appear less
absurd. In this pump water is admitted
into the chamber until the chamber is
nearly full. and then gasoline or some
other oil. in the form of vapor, is admit
ted into the chamber and exploded just
as an automobile uses gasoline. The ex-
plosion of the vapor forces the water
out, and the same operation is repeated
over and over again. 1t does the work
surely and cheaply. The inventor of
this new type of pump has drawn plans
for squirt gun propeller that will get
the push on the water from two of
these pumps.-Saturday Evening Post.

PUMPING OVER THE OCEAN.

VTOPChilS SSSSOios
Running a ship by a squirt gun and
operating ship by having motorman
in the pilot house use controller just
as does the motorman of an electric
ear are two ideas that have been seri-
ously advanced recently by engineers
Of high standing. The ships motor
man idea could easily be applied to a
great freight vessel that will begin its
trips through the great lakes and con-
Meeting canals next spring.
1t has just such a motorman now, but
he stands with his controller in the en-
CINE room instead Of up in the pilot
house. A longer cable attached to his
controller is all that is necessary to en-
able him to do his work in the pilot
house. Oil engines are used to gen
crate electricity. and the electricity is
used to turn the propellers. So cleo
tricity runs the ship in much the same
way that it does trolley car.
The squirt gun idea is to propel ship
by squirting out water through pipes
at the stern of the ship, where pro-
pellers ordinarily are located. Water
would be taken in from the front end
by great pipes. given a push when it
reaches the engine room and then sent
rushing out at the stern of the ship.
This same scheme has been thought of
before, but never put into use because
it cost so much to give that push to

Passing the Dividends
1t is not surprising that since Aug
ust / a score of large copper corpora
tons have passed or deferred their
regular dividends. The Rio Tinto Co
in Spain whose mine was worked
in the days of the Romans passed it's
semi annual distribution of $3.50. 200,
but this may be considered only as
indicating that the effects of the
war are not confined to this country.
of the worlds copper
The passing or deferring of divi-
dends does not afford any foothold
for pessimism. 1t indicates that pru-
dence and foresight rule in manag-
erial circles and that when the GER
tain recovery sets in it will not be
necessary to fill in large holes in
funds borrowed against the future,
before the people who hold stock can
profit from increased dividend pay
ments. To do so would delay the
distribution of the benefits of pros
perity and retard the Improvement of
the other lines of endeavor to which

turns on their shares.

tails 100000 The Calumet & Ari-

THE MINES OF ARIZONA

many men in the mining states ex-
pected during the fall and winter
months to do this assessment work
for others, and that the postpone
ment of it would be in effect the
shutting down of an industry.
Canada has passed a similar mea-
sure, but this is part of a war policy
which will allow prospectors and
mine owners to volunteer for the
European war without the loss of
their claims. Tie necessity for the
adoption of such a policy by the
United States manifestly is not pre-
sent.
Without a showing much stronger
than has been made to me in favor
of the adoption of such a policy as
proposed in these bills, | cannot ad-
wise that it would be wise to adopt
either of these measures In general,
| believe our purpose should be to
insist that he who holds the land
shall use it.
