This Is the simple scheme of propulsion
adopted for these new cruisers. It 10 known to be
elective. but 1t Is not simple in the applica-
tion as In the telling. To the troubles Of the
steam engine are now added the dangers of the
electric current and the engineer must have mas
tered electricity as well steam. II the steam
from ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS boilers could rend the
ship, the current It would generate misapplied
would work untold harm to ship and crew.
One of the disadvantages of a single engine
or single turbine Is that 1t must be In one large
compartment, and II this is preached from the
outside the flow of water nlls the entire space
puts all the machinery within 1t out Of commission
and places the ship In great danger. With the
electric drive every motor, generator and turbine
can be isolated, thus adding to the safety of the
vessel The electric drive is not an experiment.
1t has been operated on the naval collier Jupiter
and on Its trial trips the perfect success of this
way of gearing down the power was proved be-
yond reasonable doubt. This system is also be-
Ing installed in the latest battleships, the New
Mexico. Tennessee and California.
There several reasons why the cruisers
must be SO much longer than the dreadnaughts-
approximately half as long again. The most i'm
portant of these is to insure the hneness of line
forward and the long smooth run indispensable to
speed. with sufficient buoyancy to sustain the un.
avoidably great weights Of hull, equipment and
engines. Another reason is to provide space
enough for the number Of boilers which will SUP
ply steam to the turbines. The Oklahoma re-
qulres IA water tube boilers to furnish her steam
although II probably will not work out In Just
that way. These boilers will contain many miles
Of tubing.
"A special problem for the engineer after the
design Of her hull has been nxed, is to determine
the size of each Of the propellers. their position
and the pitch Of the blades factor in solving
this is the number of revolutions which the en-
gines will give and the number which will give
the best results. Although we have built no ships
Of this size and design and have no relative data
to guide u.s. the solution presents great din

THE bureau Of steam engineering will have to

In very limited space, at least many as q

purpose we will supply separate generators; but
BY way of precaution provision will be made for

1t is often necessary to spray for them
a second time. after the leaves come
out in the spring. Fortunately, the
spring treatment can be given with a
very weak mixture which will not in-
jure the leaves. Where the winters
are mild, the wool apple louise often
lives on the trees through the winter,
especially around wounds where the
thin bark is exposed, but are killed by
the lime-sulphur.
Other Sprays Needed.
While this lime-sulphur spray. ap-
piled in the fall or early winter, is
more effective than is any other one

little effect on the terrapin scale Of

There is other work besides spray

The raids made by the German cruisers upon the
English coasts show how easily they can slip past

they have sea control.
1.-THE battle of Jutland most certainly has not
established anything not already known against
the cruiser. No one ever had the slightest reason
to suppose that one could engage a battleship at
any range on equal terms. The naval engineers
put all the expensive and powerful machinery In
them; the designers Of the hull gave them The
fine lines to keep them at 4 long range from the
backbone Of the fleet; and when that speed WAS
used to take them close to the battleships ths IN

The call for locomotives the pres,
ent year is very large. American
roads for the first ten months of this
year ordered $40 and the rate of or
ders is increasing, indicating that the
domestic call will exceed 1000. The
foreign orders for ten months are
1851. Word has gone out to the rail
roads that if they will need new
equipment they had best reserve space
now, as the prospect is the shops will
be fully occupied later. Orders have
been taken from Cuba, Spain and
Greece, and it is expected that other
neutral countries that have thought of
Germany will send orders to this
country.

FARM JEWELLERS.

The lot of the resident on the farm
is far from being undesirable and
from the standpoint of freedom from
worry over matters financial the
dweller in the country has distinct
advantage over the city chaps, whom,
no doubt, they frequently envy. 1t
is generally understood that 81 in the
country is equivalent to SO in the city,
and not infrequently there are fami-
lies in the country whose income ia
apparently nil. They handle very lit
tie real money during the course of
the year; their wants are few and
plain and easily satisfied. A like in
come in the city would mean more ap.
peals for charity. In the country the
question Of rent and, in many commu-
mites, the question Of fuel, is eliminat-
ed. The expenditure for clothes is
less. Much of the food is supplied by
the garden and orchard, and meat,
butter and eggs are produced right at
home. The expenditure for amuse-
ments is necessarily less. While too
often country life is drab and unin-
teresting, it need not necessarily be
so, and the country dweller of small
income lives far more luxuriously than
does his city cousin of equal income.

Nearly three thousand new plants
were introduced into this country dur
ing the past year as a result of inves-
legations in foreign lands by the
botanists Of the department of agri-
culture. Fer the past six months
plants from abroad have been arriving
at the bureau of plant industry in
Washington at the rate of eight spe-
cimens daily. The war has inter
fered with the investigations in num-
ber of countries and most of the new
specimens have come from China and
South America. One explorer has
been spending some months in the
region near the boundary of Tibet
He has sent in new wild peach and
wild almond. Since their native eli
mate is similar to that of New Eng
land, the department of agriculture
is hoping to utilize them in extending
the cultivation of the almond and the
peach farther north than is possible
with the varieties now in use.

The influence of women in family
and society has been declining in
Tibet as result Of frequent warfare.
AS in other parts of the world and at
various epochs in human history, men
back from victorious battlefields in
Tibet were wont to monopolize femi-
nine admiration. Hence it came that
polygamy has been steadily encroach-
ing upon the old undisputed sway of
the Tibetan woman in the family.
This is an excerpt from the story told
by Rev Ekal Kawaguchi, the Buddhist
explorer, who has just returned to ia
pan from his second Tibetan journey
from Lhasa, by way of Darjeeing.

1916 Levy II mills.

The county board has been in session
the past week wrestling with the 1916
tax levy. The county must at least
have $50, 900 to meet its absolute
necessities, which is 500, 600 less than
was raised last year by the republi-
cans. The 1916 levy will be II mills,
or third less than last year.
Nothing was required this year for
Warrant Redemption, the democratic
debt having been wiped out last year.
In another year the republicans hope
to reduce the cost of county govern
ment to $l25. 600 per year, which may
he done if strict economy is continued.
But the people must cooperate with
the county officials There must be
no graft, no extravaganza, no waste,
and the county must get dollar S
worth of value for dollar of tax
money. The leaks must be kept
closed.
