Black Snakes Reneficent.


In Burlington county. New Jersey,
the farmers who, in the erroneous be-
lief that they are pest, have been
killing black snakes. are being urged
to conserve them as enemies of the
rattlers. which have been unpleasantly
numerous this year. The damage done
by the non-poisonous reptiles is now
recognized to Re of slight account in
comparison with TIE good they do.
Not only will the black snake fight and
best the rattler. but he earns more
than his keep by keeping down other
pests. 1t has taken man a long time
to identify Ills friends of the lower or
ders, and even today many perse-
cuted animals do not receive the credit
that is due TO them.-New York Sun.

Nothing would satisfy Max but that

consented to drop him AT the Ritz-Carl-

SIX OR MORE SMOKEsTACKS
FOR NEW BATTLE CRUISERS
Uncle Sans Fleet of Warships VIII
Have the Appearance of Blast
Furnaces Gone to Sea.

Uncle Sans new battle cruisers,
four of which have been authorized to
be laid down next year, will look like
blast furnaces gone to sea. Each will
be equipped with six or more smoke,
stacks, according to plans now being
completed by the navy department.
Some American cruisers carry four
stacks, and some of European con-
strUction have five With exception of
a few small destroyers, no vessel in
operation has six.
The battle cruisers will be electric
driven and oil burning. The builders
will be required to produce vessels
that will give off no smoke when it is
desired to conceal their movements.
They will also be equipped so as to
pour out heavy banks of black smoke
as a screen to conceal the operations
of vessels behind them.
To make the 35-knot speed required,
it has been necessary to provide the
ships with between 10000 and 100000
horse power, generated by steam tur-
bineS, which, in turn, drive the cleo
trio generators. Navy experts are con-
fident they will make 35 knots with
full equipment aboard, and, stripped,
will run 80 knots, or more than ~
miles an hour.
European navies try out their swift
boats for speed without armament and
with only a small portion of their fuel
cargo aboard. American navy craft,
however, must make the required
speed with full fighting equipment and
at least two-thirds of full fuel capacity.

Uncle Sam says that Honduras is be-
coming aroused to the great American
game and strong interest in baseball
has been developed in the Puerto Cor
tes district. Until this season the
game had only been played in
two small American colonies, but now
contests by native teams in San Pedro
Sula are well attended and the crowds
become as enthusiastic as in any big
league city in the United States. The
limited population, however, will pre-
vent the local leagues from reaching
large proportions.

DEAL SWAPS ELECTION
Order Filled in America Decides
Spanish Campaign.
Uncle Sam, in His Role of Drummer,
Incidentally Aids Madrid Govern
ment in Winning Fight.

Uncle Sam, in his capacity as the
great American drummer, played an
Important, if inconspicuous part, in
general elections recently held in
Spain. This is one of the interesting
facts brought out by study of the ac-
tivities of Uncle Sam in the promo
ton of foreign trade for American
business men.
The present liberal government of
Spain was successful i'll the recent
election, partly because it was able
to import enough copper sulphate,
commonly known as blue vitriol, to
save the vineyards from destruction
by mildew. Wine is one of the i'm
pOrtant Spanish products, and when
mildew made its appearance this
spring a vigorous appeal for help was
made to the government and a prom
per sulphate is the best cure for this
disease of the vine but owing to war
conditions in the Industrial countries
of Europe, and the lack of shipping
facilities, it was no easy matter to
place a contract with any certainty of
its being fulfilled in time to save the
wine crop. The American commerce
attache at Paris learned of the sit1a-
ton and persuaded the Spanish gov
ernment to place an order for $S00,O00
worth of the chemical in this country.
The bureau OF foreign and domestic
commerce took an active Interest in
seeing that this order was filed in
time. For a period the matter as
sumed political Importance in Spain,
and failure to carry out its promises
would have weighed heavily against
the government at the polls.
