coALING WARsHIPs AT SEA.
Sixty Tons of Fuel an Hour WhirIes
From Vessel to VESSEL

Sixty Tons of Fuel an Hour Whrlea
From Vessel to VESSEL
How the British vessels of war are
coaled while sailing through heavy
seas at rate OF twelve miles an hour
without hindeling their activities in
any way is told in the Manchester
Guardian:
a collier packed to the matches with
coal gets into touch by wireless with
a battleship whose bunkers need to be
replenished On sighting the vessel
the supply ship maneuvers until it is
within 400 feet of the battleship. The
collier then dispatches u small boat
that carries two cables. One end OF
each is attached to the masthead of
the supply vessel. The lines pay out
as the boat advances. and when it
reaches the warship the sailors fasten
the cables to The stern of the ship on
the port and starboard sides.
The two ships, therefore, travel in a
straight line fastened together, while
from the mast of the collier to the
deck of the warship stretches a trans
port cable for carrying coal bags.
Sacks of coal that weigh ton are
hoisted from the foot of the Golfers
mast to platform at its head, below
which there is net to protect deck
hands from falling pieces of coal. BY
means of wheels that run on the cable
automatic winches force the load along
the SlODiup tr1nSDOrt line Mt n rate of
5000 feet a minute. On reaching the
deck Of the battleship the load is au-
tomatically released, and the trans
porter starts on its return journey.
By means Of this apparatus sixty
tons of coal can be carried every hour
across the gap of water tnat separates
the supply ship from the battleship.
The great advantage is that both
vessels can move at the rate OF
twelve knots an hour while the coaling
goes on.

quality and when they are satisfied
on that score they stay with you"
1t is not necessary to make any in
quiries to learn that the trade of the
summer colony means much to the
grocers, the dealers in fruits and
fresh vegetable and the meat mark
cts. A person who walks over Main
street during the forenoon on any
week day between the first OF May
and the first OF October and who has
ordinary powers of observation can
not fail but note the numerous auto
mobiles that are coming and going
and that the occupants are making
their daily purchases for the house
hold.
1t is source of satisfaction to
realize that the people who are with
us during the warm season appreci-
ate the fact that Bennington is well
provided with business houses to pro-
vide for their daily wants. At the
same time those of us who winter
and summer in Bennington feel that
we, too, have reason to be proud OF
our merchants, proud of the manner
in which they keep in touch with the
market and provide for us so that we
know that we can keep right up with
the procession without going away
from home. This is aptly proven by
"a bit of conversation heard on Main
street last Saturday night:
Hello, Mary, where you going?"
'l'ye got to go and buy me new
shirt waist for Sunday"
"A shirtwaist! And you just back
from your vacation in the city where
you had all the big stores to make "a

MAUC ALLAN DANCES
Great Feature at the Harte Theatre

The Rug Makers Daughter
shows exceptionally well how one of
the celebrated Maud Allan dances is
to be distinguished from those of any
other dancers in the world.

Not ''routne"-but the actual,

Naturally, Maud Allan has never
been known to dance in the same
way twice Her inspiration is as
pure, as brilliant. as changeable as a

Though she were to dance a hundred
years she could probably never re-
peat exactly some of her matchless
details of oriental languor and rhy-
thin which have been perpetuated in

Music of the Blood.

Have you ever heard your blood?
Have you ever put one of those large
seashells to your ear and heard what
the children say is the sound of the
sea, the music of the waves" Well,
that is really the sound of your blood
as it circuldlcs echoed in the empty
shell lop can hear it sometimes when
your head is ON pillow, but it does
not sound musical then. Try the shell
at any time and YOU will find that your
blood is always flowing. Stick your
thumb in your ear and listen. That is
natures way of constantly carrying the
nourishment from well digested food
TO every part Of your body.-London

JAPAN WANTS PEACE
IF SHE MUST FIGHT
,UItimatum to China Threatens to oe.-
eupy Territory Unless Concessions
Are .Made-Japs Believe China Will
Yield Finally.

Toxic. Japan, May Administer Of
Justice ,Ozaki is quoted by the news
papers as having announced that the
cabinet had decided to send an ulti-
matum to China, urging her to recon
slider her decision to make no further
concession to Japan.
Japan Is said to be opposed to using
force, "but China must be made to un-
derstand that this government will in
sist on the peace Of the orient"
II China refuses to yield 1t Is likely
that Japan will occupy provinces like
Chanting until China comes to her
senses" This, is is said, would not
violate the integrity of China, since
the aim would be to preserve the in
tegrity OF the country.
It Is believed China may send at the
last minute word that concessions will
be made.
The Yomiuri, in an extra edition, de-
clares that the elder statesmen after
listening to lengthy explanations from
Premier Okuma and Foreign Minister
Kato, have approved project to send
an ultimatum to China
The information reaching japan
leads to the conviction that the last
answer from China obliges Japan to
take this last logical STEP
Continuing, the Yomiouri says that
the concessions made by Japan, par
ticularly the restoration Of Kiao Chau,
to China had created the belief that
China was satisfied and that the mat
ter would be arranged peacefully.
There is an Impression now that Yuan
Shi Kai, president of China, desires an
ultimatum, to justify China's formal
acceptance.
According to shmibi shimbum mar
tial law was proclaimed in southern
Manchuria.
