The Dock rotary pump, the inven- ton of Herman Dock of Westerly, completed a severe and highly suc- cessful endurance test at 3.30 Friday atJernoon. The pump was started at l.30 last Monday morning on an en- durance test of 100 hours continuous ork at full capacity, and is the only pump that ever achieved a perfect record in a test of that duration. At the test in New York a few months ago at the annual convention of inter national fire chiefs the best record of any fire pump was F hours continu- GUS work, when brief stop was made for repairs or readjustment, after which tests were continued The Dock pump worked to full capacity without cessation and was in just as good con- dition at the finish as at the start of the unusual test Mir. Dock claims that the pump could work on for an indefinite period, as it was free from friction and that there was nothing in the construction of the pump that could get out of working order.
 The pump tested is a small one, only two and one-quarter inches wide and nine inches in diameter with pumping capacity of 200 gallons of water minute. This water was lift cd from the Pawcatuck river, pumped through a line of hose with a three quarter inch nozzle and forced an av- craze distance of 150 feet for 100 con- secutive hours, and without a stop. The pump was worked to capacity ev- cry minute of the 100 hours, with pres sure between 135 and 140 pounds With an additional pump, or pumps, worked on the same shaft, of course the vol 1IIne of water would be accordingly in- creased. The engine, of the automobile type, that supplied the motive power was capable of developing 29 horse power and 1.s0o revolutions a, minute, but in the test only about 10 horse power was developed and only 800 revolutions required to work the pump to full capacity.
 The test was made on the bank of the Pawcatuck river, not far from the Dock residence on the Watch Hill road, and was witnessed by many towns people and mechanical experts from large business centers- There were g large number Of people present when the test ended Friday afternoon, and rHr. Dock was heartily congratulated on the success of his wonderful inven- lion.

 The law authorizes this station to take samples from any manufacturer, or dealer, in a prescribed fashion, and requires the station to analyze annual ly at least one sample of each brand which it has collected and to publish these analyses together with such ad- ditlOnal information in relation to the character, composition and use thereof as may be of importance"
 The dairy and food commissioner is charged with the enforcement of the statute.
 sampEng agent visited g towns and villages of this state and collected 1S9 samples of feeds.
 Molasses Feeds.
 Twenty samples Of moiasses feeds were examined. In general they consisted of corn, oats. alfalfa or dned beet pulp, with from 15 to 50 Der cent. or more of molasses. In one brand peat was substituted for feeu.
 The analyses of these feeds present. ed some difficulties. Previous experi- ence had shown that it was impossi- ble to determine accurately the rat in the usual way in such mixtures. Ac- cOrdingly gIns. Of material were washed with about 200 co. of water at room temperature the inso:uole res idLe dried and then extracted with anhydous ether as usual. Seventeen of the samples showed an increased ether extract by this method, ranging 1rcm 0.04 to 1.47 per cent, the increase being most marked where alfalfa was a constituent of the feed. On the other hand, five samples gave slightly higher ether extracts without previous extraction with water; these appar- entity contained some ingredient solu- bic in both cold water and ether. It is evident from the above results that the use of the conventional method for determining fat in cattle reeds is generally unjust to molasses feeds.
 Weights of Ragged Feeds.
 In answer to complaints as to prob able shortages in the net weight of various feeds sold throughout the state the sampling agent weighed over 200 bags of different feeds at various warehouses. In all cases the claimed weight was 100 pounds AS far as known the stock had not been on hand over six months. It was not practica- ble to empty the bags and secure an ac :urate net weight, so only gross weights are recorded. although an al lowance of one pound for the empty bag would probably be reasonably ac-

out of total vote of nearly 5000.
The heavy wet vote in Tampa saved

A GENEROUS JUDGE GIVES
SALARY TO ORPHANS

jacksonville, Dec 6.-As a spe-
cial Christmas gift for little home
les boys and girls, Judge H. B.
Phillips. county judge. gave his en-
tire December's salary of $50 to the
Children's Home Society of Florida.
The money was received by Superin-
tendent Fagg yesterday morning,
who stated that such gifts made him
and the directors of the society feel
that a very deep interest in the work
was taken by many people. Two
years ago Judge Phillips gave the
society s417, representing six
months salary as judge, which is a
more substantial way Of showing in
terest in the home than by well
wishes. One man down the State
wrote Supt. Fagg that he intended
sending the money he has planned
to spend on presents for mis- friends
to the society. Such demonstrations,
Supt. Fagg feels, should be men
toned to the public that it might
see the deep interest taken by the
people of Florida in the home.
