TEN KILLED IN
TORPEDO WORKS
MORE MAY BE DEAD AS RESULT
OF EXPLOSION OF FULMI-
NATE OF MERCURY.

Newport r. l.. Jan. 26.-Three bomb
proofs at the naval torpedo station here
were wrecked by an explosion Of full.
inmate of mercury late today. At least
ten civilian employees were killed and
seven were injured, one probably fatally.
Ten others were buried in the ruins of
the heavily concreted structure and
little hope was expressed that many Of
them would be removed alive.
Captain Edward l.. Beach, command
ant Of the station, said none Of the
survivors was able to give an account
Of what had happened, but there was
no doubt, he asserted, that the explosion
was accidental.
The official list of those unaccounted
for up to a late hour tonight did not
IN many instances contain the initials
The names were c. Burns, Connolly
Spooner d. Sullivan Anderson, Matoza
Foazier, Andrea, Bailey and c. Yeti

Late tonight a rescue party heard

A pipe was sunk to the spot and it
was learned two men were alive. They
were given stimulants and nourishments
through the pipe and a derrick was i'm.
pressed into service to remove the heavy
debris from over them. At midnight,
ten bodies had been removed. Eight Of
them were Identified.

WAR SUMMARY.

The voices Of peace advocates again
have been raised insistently in the cen
trail empires following quickly upon
what is largely regarded as a new decla-
ration Of Germany's war-like purposes
in her chancellor's speeches.
simultaneously a report is curren,
that the bolshevist government in Rus
sa has decided to continue the Bres,
Iitoysl; peace negotiations and another,
quite unyerided. that Austria is pre-
pared to make peace with Russia inde-
pcndently from Germany
The peace note in Germany was
sounded by Phillip Scheidemann, the
socialist leader, who, in his rmarks
following Chancellor Won Hertling' s
speech, pleaded for peace before spring
came with its renewed bloodshed,
Regarding Russia however Scheide.
mann's speech was more than a plea Il
was warning that the military lead.
crs Of the imperial government would
be hurled from p3wer if they did not
bring about peace with the Russians,
Scheidemann insisted that there was
ground for q general peace on the basis
of the program laid down by President
Wilson on eleven points, of which an
agreement was easily possible. He was
as uncompromising as Chancellor Won
Uertling, however. as regards Alsacr
Lorraine. declaring this territory must
remain German.
Scheidemann's word comprises per
haps the most radical utterance that
has yet come from his wing Of the
party in the reichstag. the majority OF
moderate socialists.
In the foreign press comment on the
speech of Chancellor Won Herling, how
ever, it has been pointed out that theirs
is as yet no suggestion Of acknowledg
ment on the part Of the German gov
crnment of any responsibility to parlia
ment, and that to all appearances, the
military party still is in fun control and
determined to maintain its grip upon
the situation.
The bosheviki are taking even more
energetic action against General Kale
dimes and now report an organization
of Cossacks from the front into con
gress, which has declared war on the
Cossack chieftain, driven him and his
staff from their headquarters and an
nounces its purpose of hunting him
down.
In the military situation, there have
been no developments Of note. Arul
lery duels at isolated points, occasional
raids and plentiful airplane reconnoiter
ing are reported. The French aerial ac
tivity has been somewhat marked, the
official statements mentioning extreme
" successful Photographic work carried
out to a distance of nearly twenty miles
behind the German lines.

been crippled since the war by the
scarcity and high price Of coal.
Near Noltora, in central Tuscany,
there are numerous cracks in the
ground from which hot steam spouts
high in the air with great violence and
constancy, brings up boric acid and
other substances of less importance.
This steam has been utilized for many
years in the production of boric acid
and borax, and occasionally for warm.
ing houses in the nearby village of
Larderello. Most Of the steam, how.
ever, was lost.
The first use of this superheated
steam for the production of motive
power was made in 1903. Prince Ginori-
Cont, president of the Societa Boraci-
fera di Larderelo, first applied strong
jet to a small rotary motor, then to a
small reciprocating steam engine con-
nected TO a dynamo which generated
enough current to light part Of the

Meanwhile to get a more ample sup
ply of steam he bored holes In the

their activity, and new borings do not
interfere with the preceding ones, pro
vided they are at least fifty feet apart.
After the outbreak Of the war coal
became extremely scarce and prices pro

using the volcanic energy to be under
taken. The results have been satisfac-
tory and it is probable that hundreds or
thousands of horsepower will be so De

WHERE WORKOUT CARS GO.
Wreckers Get Useless Automobiles and
Business Is Important.

New York Evening Post: \ question
that has been asked times without mum.
ber is. when an automobile will no
longer run, what becomes Of it?" Until
lately no one seemed able to answer it,
They Just disappeared-whe where or
how. no one was able to describe. With
out any blare Of trumpets the business
of auto wrecking has become an i'm
portant factor in the motor car world.
1t is to the auto wrecker that machines
which have served their usefulness are
brought, as well as those that have been
ruined by collision, fire, or joyriding,
the cause Of more automobile wrecks
than any other cause.
This man does not attempt to rebuild
the machine. Rather his whole aim is
to disassemble it within as short a time
as possible. TO the practiced eye Of
the wrecker those parts that still show
little wear and for which there is an
everincreasing demand, are readily dis.
cernible. These he removes with care
and places them in bins, each tagged
with the name and model car from
which II was taken Accessories are
removed with the same care, though
not tagged in the same manner. Igni
ton systems and carburetors with in.
take and exhaust manifolds are care
fully removed and put away.
Those parts that are removed will
bring in a handsome profit. Repair men
have learned that they can go to these
auto wrecking firms and purchase parts
for cars which they are repairing for
much less than they could be bought
from the representative Of the manufac.
turer. Many times the parts so pur-
chased are equally as good as those
bought new from the factory representa-.
tive. They have been removed from a
car that probably was so badly dam
aged in a wreck that the insurance COM
panies or the owner did not deem It
worth repairing. Springs, axlcs, bear
ings, radiators, etc, are always In de.
mand Sometimes even a new frame
is sought The motor car of four or
five years ago is what the wrecker de.
lights in purchasing.
In its construction there was a great
deal Of aluminium used in the older cars
Crank cases, transmission cases, and
even in some cases bodies were made Of
this metal, which today, due to war con.
ditions, has become very valuable. Be
sides this, the motor itself was cast
great deal heavier than those of today
The frame was heavier. Iron and steel
have increased greatly in price and
naturally the junk value Of one OF these
old machines is greater than that of
more modern machines. There IS hardly
model car on the market that has
attained any degree of popularity but
that one Of its make can be found in
the yards of the auto-wrecker. He is
the final resting place Of automobiles,
no matter what their make or their
vintage one and all eventually they find
their way to hiD
