Fox Ramsey, an old-time AL kan, arrived at Nome on the Corwin from Cape Prince of Wales On July 6 according to the Industrial Worker, after making the trip from Shanghai China. Mir. Ramsey left Shang- hai on May 2i aboard Russian revenue cutter, stopping al Nagasaki, Japan, and thence proceeding up the Siberian coast to Valdivolstok. A Rus sian government inspector a board the ship, who spoke French, allowed Mr. Ramsey to accompany him on several ol his inspection trips, one oi which took them up the Kluch river, on the Kamchatka pen insula. This afforded the party an opportunity to view Mount KlechOfsaOa. all active volcano I6,000 feet high. During the day it emitted vast quantities of smoke and ashes. while a night it's peaks became a fam ing mass, furnishing one of the most spectacular and awe-tn- spring sights imaginable. Mr Ramsey arrived at East Cape or June 25 and obtained passage over to Cape Prince of Wales aboard a native epmiak. A Cape Prince of Wales, where he arrived on July 1, the trir across the straits taking seven teen hours, he was entertained by Dr. Thompson until the trir 10 Nome.

Wave and tide motors have oper.

mission. AS far as the federal engin-
GERS know, these motors have not
been permanently successful. The
most original and most fanciful
scheme TO find substitute for coal
Is the dream of certain persons that
the weeds In the Sea OF Saragasso
can be cut and pressed into briquettes
Tor fuel. The originators OF the idea
point to the fact that many Nile river
steamers are run on blocks OF sudd
the floating weed that chokes the up
per Nile.
Inc bureau OF mines believes there
are vast power possibilities in the lig
mite coal or the west and In the abun
dant supply OF peat. Investigations
IN the use OF both are now being made
at the experiment station OF the bu.
reau at Pittsburgh, Pa Already the
bureau has demonstrated that the lig.
mites can be made into briquettes
without the use OF binding process.
The great difficulty with Ignite in the
past has been its tendency to crum
Die into dust as soon as mined. This
prevented its transportation any dis
lance, as II would blow out OF the
cars. The development of peat as
fuel has been retarded because OF the
cheapness OF coal in some localities,
and also because OF the organization
OF fake stock-selling companies.

Tine was the sage remark of one
statesman. When the coal is gone
said Speaker Joseph Cannon, our
children will fnd something else for

The truth is no substitute Tor coal
has been found, however, outside OF
the limited water power, which usu-
ally requires vast capital for develop
ment, and now the eminent engineers
both OF the federal government ana
commercial interests have practically
given up hope OF discovering anything
that will take the place OF coal. They
have been bending all their energies
toward u better utilization OF the coal
itself, and since the first alarm oil
the government engineers great
strides have been made in this direc
ton.
When the governments mining en-
gineers made the announcement that
the coal supply OF the future was 4
serious problem, Robert Il. Fernald
consulting engineer with the bureau
of mines, suggested that one method
OF preventing waste would be TO con
struct great central power stations
at the coal mines, sending electric
| power distance OF perhaps 25t
miles over wires. He claimed fol
this plan great economy through the
absence of the necessity OF transport
