ELECTRIC FURNACES

An electric furnace for the heat treatment Of
steel used in automobile construction has been
introduced. Its method of producing uniform
dependable heat that is urgently sought by
automobile manufacturers is quite novel in cleo
trio furnace practice, although its principle is
comparable to that OF the weII-known Nernst
lamp Both the floor and the domeiike covers of
this furnace are of refractory material which is
practically nonconducting at ordinary tempera-
lures. To start the furnace, q current is passed
through bed OF coke laid it's floor On bein-
sufficiently heated the floor becomes conductor
and in turn heats the wall and top, rendering
them conductive, until finally the entire furnace
becomes incandescent. 1t is stated by those who
have tried the furnace that its use in the heat
treatment Of automobile parts promises to be
extensive in the future.

tender-in other words, how young-the fowl is.
Oddly enough, the same test with human beings
is one of the most reliable known. If in advanced
life the lower part of your breastbone feels elias

no important changes have yet taken place in
your arteries, or otherwise in your anatomical
makeup.

Roman sword and the upper part Of it is like the

thereafter will issue a statement cover
ing the next steps to be taken by this
Government.
These steps are taken to mean that
the American expedition will not be
called OFF at present, whether or not it
carries with II the possibility of war
Army officers of experience and judg-
ment said today that the fighting at
Parral shows that holding the troops in
Mexico without consent of Carranza
means continual fighting that will even-
tually force the United States to inter-
vene in force in Mexico
The opinion of these officers may be
summarized as follows:
First-That the President must find
some means to get new arrangement
with CarranZa limiting the stay and op
eratlons of the American troops in Mexico
SO as to save the face of the Admins
tration.
Second-That IL Carranza insists be-
fore the adjournment of the Cabinet meet
ing tomorrow on the withdrawal of the
American troops General Pershing should
at once seize the Mexican Central and
the Mexican Northwestern Railway so as
to prevent Carranza throwing a body of
troops between Pershing's most southern
forces and those scattered along the line
from Casas Grandes to Parral.
Thrd-This Government knows that II
1t should now order the National Guard
or the 1900 coast artillery troops to
the border Carranza would be justified in
accepting the order as an act of war
against him.
The officers say the situation resembles
that when Germany declared war on Rus
sia because of the latters mobilization on
her western frontier. They say it would
be obvious to Carranza that If large
body of troops were sent now to the
Mexican frontier II would mean nothing
else than preparation for Intervention
in force in Mexico,
Some of the army officers believe It has
already occurred to General PeTshing that
in order to save himself in case of further
attacks he must plan to take possession of
the Mexican Northwestern Railway.
Staff officers of the army today eX-
pressed the gravest concern over the plight
in which General Pershing's troops will
fr.1 themselves il Carranza's forces give
up their attitude of passiveness and re-
sist the efforts of the army to capture
villa.
Reports have reached Washington that
from $4,000 to 10000 Carranza troops
can be thrown between General Pershings
base and the American border.

Mexico.
This is the Administrations preliminary
reply to the demands made by Carranza
for the withdrawal of the troops and to
the action of the mob at Parral, which
attacked a troop of General Pershing' s
advance force.
In announcing the action, Mr.. Baker
said:
Il telegraphed General Funston the
contents of the dispatches handed out by
Mr.. Arredondo, and directed him to take
all necessary steps TO protect our soldiers,
to allay further trouble, and to wire
promptly all further details"
There are at present $4,000 troops In
Mexico and $4,000 stretched along the
border General Funstons orders give
him plenary power to use all of these
forces IL he needs them to meet any at

Urbina ranch at Las Nievas, south of
Rosario, in the State of Durango. II is
reported he is heading down the Nazas
River in the direction of the Contreras
and Ceniceros bandits.
Between Las Nieyas and Inde are a
large number of horses and mules. which
were turned out when the Villa garrison at
Inde surrendered. 1t Is supposed that
Villa intends to utilize them in his flight
II is reported that ammunition in large
quantities has been going forward to the
Contreras by mule pack. In the last four
days, however these shipments are said

The Las Nevas ranch. formerly owned
by Villa general Tomas Urbina, Is sup
posed TO be the burial place of loot gath
cred by Urbina in his various campaigns
and of arms and ammunition.
When Villas fortunes began TO wane he
took his famous killer" Rodolpho Fierro
and went to Urbina to demand his share
of the loot. Urbina refused to divulge its
hiding place and was shot to death.
American troops were reported on We'd
