From Silverton comes a report that
work is going right along and ship

The flotation of minerals dates
back to the accounts of Agricola, who

very large, the number of cars of con.

to be the Congress Leasing, with 5000
tons; the Barstow, with 800 tons
crude and $50 tons concentrates, and
the Summit Mining and Milling Com

small shipments from the smaller pro-

Electrically Controlled
Boat Was the Invention
of John Hays Hammond

Recently cables from England made
brief mention of the electrically con-
trolled high speed boat" which, 1t was
announced the enemy was operating
Off the coast of Flanders. A veil of
mystery was thrown over the new ves-
sci and naturally curiosity on this side
of the Atlantic was heightened by the
lack of detail In the messages announc-
ing the new craft. One satisfactory
feature of the announcement was the
fact that 1t apparently proved fail
ure at its first trial.
There. is, however, nothing new in
the electrically controlled boat for
such vessel was given thorough
and successful trial in 1914 in Glou-
cester bay along the shores of
Massachusetts, observes writer The
strange craft was the invention of
John Hays Hammond son of the fa-
nous American mining engineer. 1t
was controlled by wireless waves from
the shore and was designed to carry u
high explosive charge.
Mr.. Hammond's invention was In
fact a torpedo which could be con-
trolled from the shore resembling In
this respect the old Brennan torpedo,
which was employed In the British
coast defenses 20 years ago and was
steered and driven by thin wires run
ming over drums in the torpedo and
actuating the screws when the wires
were wound in by an engine ashore.

Feathered Night Fishes.

One of the most remarkable instan.
ces of phosphorescent light appearing
on living creatures is found among the
herons. Among the quays and at the
extreme end of Florida these birds are
found in countless numbers. Mullet
fishermen and sportsmen often noticed
peculiar dim lights standing notion
less over the water among the man
grove thickets. They We're discovered
however, to depend on the presence of
the birds. When they were approach
ed in the dark the Tapping of wings
as heron flew away would mean the
last of the lights. The Adrea Hero
dias, or great heron, has on Its breast
spot about as large as the open palm,
where the feathers are covered with
a thick yellow powder that is easily
shaken off. and evidently exudes from
the body ut this spot as secretion
drying into powder when exposed to
the mir. The bird stands motionless
in the water, and the spot Is undoubt-
edly used for or accomplishes the end
of attracting the smaller fishes with.
in reach of the bird.

I'm glad they made the morning

To lift us with its laughter and swing
us in its cheer.
The fresh and dancing morning,
When souls go forth to fight
With joy for the song Of the bugles,
And love for the Tilt of light.
I'm glad they made the morning, and
called 1t morning, too,
With its sunshine full of splendor in
sky so full of blue.
The young, green spirit of it,
The bubble and the bloom,
With our hearts awake to love 1t,
And souls to doff their gloom.
I'm glad they made the morning ana
sent it down to earth
To make path of beauty for feet to
tread in mirth.
The fair and dewy morning,
The fresh and the sparkling day
With love in the lilt of the trumpets,
AS brave hearts face the fray.

Britons Enjoy American
Music, Which Is Featured
On All Concert Programs

Thanks to the United States entry
into the war, American music is enjoy
Ing a wide vogue In London this fall,
says a correspondent. Since the con-
cert and recital season opened here
there has been scarcely single i'm
pOrtant program without one or two
American numbers, and the leader of
the Queens Hall Symphony orchestra
has Just achieved remarkable success
with an entire program of American
music.
The music critics view the American
Invasion with some friendliness, but
not too much enthusiasm. One says:
"The American composers seem too
anxious to assert their mastery of mod
ern technique. to convince us that
they know as much about 1t as any
body else." Another adds: "The ten
dency among American composers
seems to be toward turning out a piece
no less elaborate than that Of the mod
ern European, rather than to develop
on their own lines"
The Manchester Guardians critic
says: "America has all the qualifica-
tions for becoming a great musical ma
ton. She has given more literally
than anybody else; she has offered
the most generous hospitality to mu-
sic; she has bigger halls and most
substantially rewarded orchestras
than any other nation. The return
for these efforts is bound to come In
time, and what has already been
achieved may well be source Of pride
to Americans"
