California to Be Electric.

New York. Dec. 21.-The new bat
tleship California, the keel of which
was recently laid, will be the worlds
first electric d~readnaught and from
point of size will be greater than any
foreign battleship built or building.
The California and her two sister ships,
the mississippi and the Idaho, already
authorized, will each displace $4,000
tons, almost 1000 ton more than the
new d~readnaught Pennsylvania, now
on the way to completion.
The California will be a ship of in
novations. She will cost $7,SOO,OOO
without her armO or armament, which
is expected to cost as much more. She
will have a speed of twenty-one knots
an hour, will be G24 feet long, ninety
even feet across her beam and will
draw thirty feet Of water. She will
carry twelve fourteen-inch guns,
mounted three abreast in Il turret, ANA
twenty-five five-inch rapid fire guns
and will have four submerged torpedo
tubes.
The principal feature of the new
Dreadnought. however, is tho machin-
cry loI plOICIliuS ucI ny clCCtIlClly.
She will be driven by motors which
will deliver electricity made by steam.
The navy experts believe the electric
installation is cheaper than steam pro-
pulsion and reduces the weight of ma
chinery. The collier Jupiter has been
so successful with electric machinery
that the navy feels justified in adapting
it to :: DreadlOught.
Outwardly the California will brin.
a drastic change of line and appearance
to the battle fleet. Instead of the blunt
gray nose of the present day big fight
er her bows will be tnpered into a
graceful, yachtlilic stem much lik,

ships that carried the American flag ut

in the forties and tiftics.

PeIIaura Cure Found?

Washington, Dec. 22-What is be-
lievcd to be a dietary cure for pellagra
has been found as the result of expert
ments by the public health service.
The cause of the disease, as we'll as the
remedy. it was officially announced at
the treasury department, has been dis
covered. Assistant Secretary Newton,
who has charge of the public health
service. spoke of the discovery as one
of the greatest achievements of med
zeal science in recent years.
The disease has been making rapid
inroads in the south, and cases have
been occurring elsewhere in the United
States With alarming frequency. 1t is
estimated that i'm recent years there
have been 10000 cases in the United
States and that at least 900 persons
will die this year from pclln-ra. Only
tuberculosis and pneumonia exceed it
in the number of victims.

Talk With Fleet Comma,

Washington, Dec. 22.-Captain w.
II. Bullard. superintendent of tho
naval wireless system, says that
telephone communication between tho
navy department and war vessels at
sea was only Il question of installing
the necessary apparatus. With their
present equipment the ships can re-
ceivc spoken messages from the Ar
lington station, but are not able to res
ply vocally.
"VVc are able to communicate with
battlcships now by means of wireless
~tclegraphy.' said Captain Billiard, "but
wireless telephony holds many addi-
tional advantages. The person calling
knows exactly to whom he is talking,
direct contact is established, and a re-
ply comes back immediately"

Breed Ewes Late.

Considering that prices for market
lambs are good now at all seasons of
the year, it is really better under or
binary farming conditions to breed
ewes rather late in tho fall, so that
the lambs will arrive during the mild
weeks of spring. when the ewes are
out in the open and on green pasture.
Less grain feed will be required for
the ewes to furnish Il full flow of milk:
hence the cost of growing the lambs
to market size will he less.
