Though it was admitted they had a
hard task ahead, it was generally hoped
that Argentina, Brazil and Chile would
settle the Washington administration S
differences with the de facto govern
ment of Mexico by mediation.
President Wilson having already ex-
pressed himself favorably to the media
tion proposition, it was learned in
directly that General Huerta also had
endorsed it.
The English, French and German
diplomatic representatives in Mexico
City were urging Huerta to yield, and
Latin Americans said they thought he
would only be too glad to get out of
trouble without Closing face.
Huerta Must Resign.
1t was said in Washington that
President Wilson would accept no
mediation terms which did not include
ample apologies to the Unit ID States
and Huerta 5 resignation.

Famous American Roads.

Something over 200 years ago there
was built the first great American
highway, "the old York road" be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.
The construction of this famous road
in I'LL was an example that led the
colonists at other points along the At
lantic seaboard to make similar roads
where there were no water routes.
For the most part these roads were
built by chartered companies, and
were called turnpikes or toll roads.
Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New
Jersey had many roads of this kind.
The first macadamized road in this
country was constructed in 1892 be-
tween Philadelphia and Lancaster. In
1911 there were said to be 4,500 miles
Of chartered turnpikes in New Eng
land and New York. During the next
20 years the government expended
many millions of dollars in construct
ing great highways, but the panic of
1887 and the building of highways
and canals put an end to that branch
of the government work.

Was a Kings Hiding Place.

Discovery has been made in VII
lage in Hertfordshire, England, where
hidden in the old oak roof timber of q
cottage a curious construction resem
bling beehive was brought to light
1t is made Of wisps of straw, tied to
gether and held in place by split bram
bles and is in fairly good condition
Considering it's age, it is yet strong
and rigid. This cottage, known al
Double cottage, has always been cred
tied with history, as one of the
places where Charles II was hidden
while flying from Cromwell and his
army after the royalist defeat at Wor
cester. The presence of the immense
straw beehive was unsuspected until
now. One theory prevalent in the vii
lage is that the king concealed him
self in the barrel until danger
had passed, and another that II
was used as safe place for the
keeping of the royal jewels. 1t is
known as matter of history that
Charles II actually stayed for short
time at Mornington court, to which
Double cottage is adjacent The cot
tage must therefore have been famil
lar to him This fact gives some color
to the notion that in troubled times
the king might have sought shelter
within its walls.

Great Painters Love Story.

Turner's love story Is tragic. Some
where about the year 1897, while the
great painter was still at school at
Margate, he fell deeply in love with
the sister of one Of his schoolfellows.
The intimacy grew and continued, and
a few days later Turner proposed and
was accepted. Then he went away for
a couple of years to pursue his art
studies, and during that time not a
message or a letter came from him.
The young lady was hurt and offended
at such cruel treatment, and under the
smart of neglect and pressure from an
unkind stepmother she accepted an
other suitor. Within a week Of the
day fixed for the wedding Turner re-
turned. He obtained an interview
and pleaded his cause passionately.
but the girl refused to listen to any
explanation.

VesuVius Still Hotter.

The temperature inside Mt We
suvius, which is unascertainable by
ordinary thermometrical methods, has
recently been measured in novel fash
ion by the Munich geologist, Storz,
who descended the crater of the vok
cano for the purpose.
He dropped a thin wire cable with
an iron weight at the end into the
crater Affixed to the wire were metal
cylinders made of lead, zinc and anti
mony, which melt respectively at tenn
peratures of 626, 7S8 and 1,166 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
Having been let down into the
mouth of the volcano, the lead melted
at depth of 33 feet, the zinc at 49
feet and the antimony at It's feet 9
inches.
A yellow smoke vent inside the
crater had temperature Of only 294
degrees in 1911, 627 degrees in 1912.
and 782 degrees in 1913. From this
fact it is concluded that fresh out
break Of Vesuvius may be imminent

Berlin reports say that the seleni-
um method of Prof Alfred Korn Of
Munich, for sending photographs by
telegraph, has been so perfected that
it may be possible within year to
transmit pictures across the Atlantic.
Some time ago it was announced that
Professor Korn had made such prog
ress with his invention that excellent
Ikenesses had been sent from Mu-
mich to Nuremberg, a distance of
about one hundred miles. He assert
ed at the time that he expected to be
able to transmit to New York a pic

Oil and Gas From Bricks.

Recent experimenting in the Peter
borough (England) brickyards with a
patented process for extracting oil.
ammonia, and gas from burning bricks
Is likely to have an important COM
mercial significance. All bricks made
from the Oxford clay in the neighbor-
hood of Peterborough burn of them
selves in the kiln, because of the BIZ
luminous matter they contain, and
that bituminous matter yields oil, gas,
and ammonia on heating in retort
out Of contact with the air.
Patents have been granted to an ex-
scholar from the Cathedral grammar
school, Mr. G. P. Crowden, who has
invented an apparatus to modify the
present brick-kilns, so that the waste
heat from the burning bricks may b.
used for heating the retorts, and fur
ther, that the green bricks themselves
may be retorted, and the oil, gas, and
the ammonia recovered from them.
The results are said to be most aston
Ehing.

NEW ALLOY FOR DIAPHRAGMS
Metal Successfully Used in England
for Telephone Connections Be-
ing Tested Here.

A new steel alloy metal is being so
successfully used for telephone equip
ment in England that several of the
telephone companies in this country
are now testing it for receiver
diaphragms. 1t is called "stalloy." and
its chief characteristic is that the ad-
dition of three per cent silicon in
creases the resistance of the alloy to
about three and one-half times that of
the ordinary transformer iron,' so that
the eddy current, when it is used as
part of the alternating current mag
netic circuit, is greatly reduced.

The ships are the largest Of their
kind, the Prometheus being 465 feet
| in length, so feet beam, rs feet draft,
with a displacement of 1855 tons and

Of 1880 tons and a cargo capacity

Points of Interest.
It goes without saying that trip to
Mare island is worth while. Here can
be seen all that is part and parcel Of
we'll appointed government plant;
whether it be In management or
whether it pertains to development in
ways scientific.
Two interesting departments of the
navy yard are the wireless station and
the new powerhouse. This wireless
| station is the most important on the
Pacific coast and naturally has the
latest appliances Of wireless telegra
ply. The new powerhouse is we'll
worth seeing, for here Is concentrated
the Drawn and muscle Of the navy
yard, as nearly all the work done on
the island Is with the aid of electrici
ty.
To the uninitiated, workshops are
most interesting; for in these one may
follow the building, finishing and arm
ing of ship from the time the blue
print leaves the draftsman's hands
until the finished gunboat, submarine
or cruiser is ready for her compile
ment of sailors. In the island park,
twice a week the naval band plays
national airs, excerpts from the operas
and popular music. The residences in
various parts Of the island are a de-
light to the eye because Of their well
kept gardens and the romantic tone Of
some of the old homes or the neatly
built structures Of later date.
Here, too, among the tall cypress of
the park are interesting relics Of naval
history, such as the forward gun of
the Kearsarge that sank the Alabama
January 10, 1864; the sternpost of the
Hartford, that grand old flagship if
Admiral Farragut; the figure head OF
! the independence and the battered
twisted propeller Of the u. 8. s. Nip
sic that was wrecked with the good
ship Vandalia at the time Of the great
hurricane and tidal wave at Apia
| Samoa, in 1889 Another relic worth
seeing is the old Spanish office build
ing around which linger memories Of
many naval hero. In the building
among the archives of the island much
data that are Interesting. Court-mar-
tial sessions are held in the building
and If the walls could speak they
might tell many tale.
Mare island is Utopia for those who
love the simple life and for those who
wish to separate themselves from the
| bizarre and blare of the metropolis.
| After the working hours, when trip
hammer, whistle and bell have ceased,
the island Is enveloped with Quietude
made more enjoyable in contrast with
the din of the day.
