The warships will re- lieve the ship now there which is to be used to take away the Brazilian and Guatemalean ministers who have been ordered out of the country by Carranza. The cabinet will meet Fri day for the express purpose of consid- ering the Mexican situation, and it is likely that the question of sending further ships to Mexico will be con- considered at that time. The out look at present does not warrant undue exciting the Mexicans by having too large a squadron in Vera Cruz harbor.

 RIVER

SEATTLE, Aug. 10-J. E. Chilberg, one of Seattle's foremost banking off, cials, returned from Alaska yesterday from an Investigating trip of a mine in the Stikine river district. Mir. Chilberg said that the biggest zone of lead, silver and copper ever found In any country exists in the district which he has just visited. He made a careful examination of the ground, looking over several properties which have been staked and partially devel- oped, and says that the entire section is mineralized to a high degree, and that millions in metallaiferous wealth will be taken out of there. This rich section lies about forty miles below Telegraph Creek. and extends to Lynn Canal.

CORDOVA HARbOR CANNOT BE.
 PASSED UP

The local Chamber of Commerce does not propose to have Cordova en. tirely passed up by the government in the investigation of harbor facilities for terminal purposes, If it can help help it. And with that end in view a telegram was today sent to Secretary of Interior Lane requesting that he instruct Lewis E. Shoot, his personal representative now in Alaska, who has this work in charge, to visit Prince William Sound and Cordova bay.
 Ehen Mir. Shoot was in town the otfler day he remarked that if he had the time he would visit Cordova later and look into our harbor conditions. The fact that he spent ten hours here and made no attempt to acquaint him. self with the superior advantages of the local harbor, and seemed to have already formed some opinions as to conditions along this coast, although this is his first trip to Alaska, did not look good to the local commercial body.
 MT. Shoot spent all of his time while here in visiting the glaciers and the Times representative was unable to in- terview him, but 1t is known that he expressed himself freely as to the harbors of Southwestern Alaska, none of which he is familiar with, excepting through the information he has glean- ed from some charts, which he had with him. If his investigations are to be of any value to Secretary Lane they should be thorough and the informa- tion gathered authentic.

In various places throughout the city, speakers are at- tempting to excite the populace against the United States, and vitrio- lie, inhamed addresses are being made calculated to excite the mob fever of the people. The battleship New Hampshire, now at Newport, R. L., has been ordered to get ready to go south at once. The Connecticut is now in Hayti, and is the most avail able vessel to send to the scene of the trouble. The gunboat Sacramento is the only American warship now at Vera Cruz.

ODD CHl"EsE 'FAR'
Held Upon Ground That Was OBJ
tanned by Trick.
Christian Missionaries Take Advan-
tase Of Gathering to Preach the
Gospel to Crowds That Collect
to Buy and Sell.

Persons who find a delight in the
county fair will appreciate little
story by Miss Rose Alice Mace. in the
Woman's Missionary Friend, Of The
Mintsing Fair" held I'm Mintsinghsien,
China, on February is, says the Chris
tian Work. This fair has the distinc-
ton Of being the only one of it's kind
held In China. 1t is held on the spot
where a temple once stood. A
wealthy old gentleman, who admired
the spot and coveted II as a burial
place for his family. By clever ruse
got the temple moved, and tombs for
his ancestors safely erected, when the
deception he had employed was dis
covered, and the people determined
upon revenge. There is a superstition
prevalent there that IL the grave Of
an ancestor be trodden upon his de-
scendants will suffer through life.
Thereupon 1t was decided that on
February of each year the people of
the surrounding neighborhood should
meet and tramp on the graves of this
mans friends. Later they began TAX
ing a few articles with them to ex-
change or sell. This gradually in
creased until now thousands of peo-
pie meet there and bring all kinds of
things for sale. The people seem to
have about forgotten the original pur-
pose Of the gathering. and now think
of it only from a social and business
standpoint.
But the interesting thing to us is
that the missionaries have taken ad-
vantage of the opportunity of so large
a gathering for spreading the Gospel.
Benches with awnings are erected
near by. large Chinese sign placed
in a conspicuous place extending a
cordial invitation to the people to
come and listen to preaching and sing
ing. Large Sunday school lesson pic
lures are exhibited and smaller ones
distributed containing the Scripture
texts in Chinese, and so interest is
maintained. "The people in general"
says Miss Mace, seemed pleased to
have an opportunity of learning some
thing of our belief and doctrine. Many
seemed favorably impressed, and sew
eral seemed really interested and anx-
ious to learn more about the great
truth presented to them"

Ingenious Apparatus to Feed Lo-
connective Furnace.
Claim is Made That II viii Do the
Work to Better Advantage and
Also Effect a Considerable
Saving In Coal.

Hereafter the locomotive fireman
will be a fireman only in name. His
work win be to help the engineer
watch for signals and to put lubri-
cants in the OIL cups. The reason is
that coal is to be put into the firebox
by stoker. The Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad already has 600
engines so equipped. Hence this is no
dream.
By this simple change the railroads
will use a different size of coal Be-
cause they will do so, they will stop
competing with the householder for
the Jumps in the nations coal pile.
1t may be predicted, therefore, that
coal for house use will not cost SO
much in future. But-that is getting
ahead of the story.
From the efficiency viewpoint there
are two great drawbacks to the human
stoker. Because of the strong draft
a locomotive furnace has a tendency
to draw small pieces Of coal through
the stack. Also it was hard work for
a man, by the old method, to shovel
coal from the tender to the firebox.
He made his work easier by shoveling

a lot of coal and then taking a rest.
This resulted in fuel waste. Both
difficulties are met by the new stoker.
A small conveyOr, set in a trough,
runs from the coal pile to the front
of the firebox. This scoops the coal
from underneath the pile and carries
it forward. At the front of the fire
box the coal is forced into pipe in
side which runs another conveyOr.
Its loaded buckets run up the left
hand side of the furnace and drop
the coal into a small pocket from
which it is fed Down TO the fire
through three spouts. The empty
buckets return to the floor through
the pipe down the right-hand side of
the furnace.
OF the three spouts through which
the coal reaches the ere, two are near
the front to spread the coal over the
forward part of the crate. The third
is about in the center of the combus-
ton chamber to spread the coal over
the rear of the CRATE.
By means of pieces of mechanism
these spouts spread coal upon the
fire at stated intervals. BY this means
the furnace fire is replenished as need,
ed. The effect, in fact, is that of the
most skillful hand firing, but done by
machinery.
Smallsized coal is used. This is
known in the East as slack and in the
West as screenings. It includes all
coal which passes through a screen
having openings an inch and a half
wide. The use of small coal is a com
plete reversal of the old railroad prac
tice.-Illustrated World.
