How To Apply 1t.

The method for using this sub
stance in the case of stables is to
sprinkle the borax or colemanite in
the quantities given above, by means
of -four sitter or other fine sieve,
around the outer edges of the pile of
horse manure. The manure should
then be sprinkled Immediately with
two or three gallons of water to eight
bushels of manure. 1t is essential,
however, to sprinkle a little of the
borax on the manure as it is added
daily to the pile, instead of waiting
until full pile is obtained, because
this will prevent the eggs which the
flies lay on fresh manure from hatch
ing. AS the fly maggots congregate
at the outer edge of the manure pile,
most of the borax should be sprinkled
there.
Borax costs to cents per pound
in 100-pound lots in Washington, and
it is estimated that at this rate it
would cost only one cent per horse
per day to prevent all breeding of
flies in city stables. If calcined cole
mantle is purchased in large ship
ments, this cost should be consider
able less. At the same time, if the
boraX is used on the manure only in
the proportions stated, it's value for
use in the garden or for sale to far
mers will not be lessened.

PLANS EXTENSION OF
CLUSTER LIGHTING
=
Bowman Would Place Standards
in Walnut and Locust
Streets

Extension of the city's ornamental
cluster lighting system on the upper
side of Walnut and Locust streets
from Front to Third. is one of the
principal improvements planned for
the city for 1915 by Commissioner
Harry F. Bowman, superintendent of
public safety.
Commissioner Bowman made this
known this afternoon prior to going
into Council with his departmental
estimates. His total appropriation
will not be more than S3,40O above
last years requests.
The extension of the ornamental
lighting system has been hoped for
ever since the clusters and standards
were installed in Market, Third, on
the lower side of Walnut street and
in Market Square. Mr.. Bowman's
plan is to provide for at least sixteen
additional clusters, sufficient for both
sides of Walnut and Locust streets.
Fifteen new arc lights will also be
asked for.
Among other things Mr.. Bowman
wants an assistant for the city plumb
ing inspector at salary of 5000 per
year. There will be a decrease of
more than q thousand dollars in the
appropriation for the city electricians
department.

1000 MEN LOST ON
8 GERMAN CRUISERS
Naval Engagement Off Falkland
Islands Results in Big
British Victory
By ..fssociatcd Press

London. Dec. 10. 1857 p. m.-The
British naval victory in the South At
lantic is being discussed in England
to-day almost to the exclusion OF all
other phases of the war news.
The last word regarding the naval
engagement was that the British

cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneisneau and
Leipzig, with the loss of nearly 1000
and Nurnberg, the other two vessels
present when the action opened. The

British Unscathed
Naval observers. commenting on the
action off the Falkland Islands, make
note of the fact that in all naval en-
garments in the present war there is
great disparity between the losses of
the victors and the vanquished. In
the case of the British cruisers Mon
mouth and Good Hope sent to the
bottom by a German squadron off the
coast of Chile, early in November, the
Germans were practically unscathed,
and the same is true of the British in
their victorious engagement in the
South Atlantic In other words, de-
feat at sea means virtually annihila-
ton and the loss of all crews with the
exception of such men as the victors
may be able to save. This is attrib-
uted to a great extent to the fact that
naval engaments have been between
ships of unequal armament. The Ger
man guns outranged the British of
the coast of Chile and the roles were
reversed off the Falkland Islands
Nevertheless, it is argued, that even
with ships of similar armament the
disproportion of losses between the
victor and the vanquished would be
greater by far than anything possible
in land warfare.
Confirmation of the death in South
Africa of General Beyers and officia
news of British successes on the Tigris
by which they established themselves
one-fourth of the distance along the
road to Belgrade, were other develop
ments read with interest in England
to-day.
