RAILROADS USE MUCH COAL
Require Almost Twenty-Five Per Cent
Of the Total Output Of
the Country.

Figures compiled by c. T.. Lesher Of
the United States geological survey
show that 136.OOOO 900 tons of bitumi-
nous coal, 6,735, 900 net tons of Penn
sylvania anthracite and 2295O tons of
coke were used by the railroads In the
United States In 1916. The increase
In the quantity of bitumlnous coal
used by the railroads in 1915 was
14,OO0,000 tons, Which was 1l.5 per
cent more than 1915. The increase in
the consumption of anthracite by the
railroads was but 1854 net tons, or
S.5 per cent. There was an increase
In railroad consumption OF nearly
100000 tons of coal from Illinois,
about 2,SOO,O0O from Ohio and of
4,S00,O00 from West Virginia. The
quantity of coal from PENNSYLVANIA
used by the railroads decreased nearly
100000 tons.
The quantity of bituminous coal
used by the railroads In the eastern
district increased from 56.50OOOO to
62,7OO,OOO, or IL per cent. The increase
In the Southern district was from o.
100000 to 23.300,000, or 81 per cent,
and in the Western district from 49,
100000 to 50,000,OO0, or 10 per cent.
The total quantity OF bituminous
coal used by the railroads was about
q per cent OF the total production as
against % per cent In 1915. The
Pennsylvania anthracite used by the
railroads in 1916 was TT per cent of
the total anthracite produced and the
combined bituminous and anthracite
used, 142, ,735, COO tons, was "a per cent
OF the output, the same as In 1915.

DRIVING RIVETS SLOW WORK
Not Only That, but Enormous Number
OF Them Are Needed In a
Steel Ship.

The largest single item in the labor
or fabricating steel ship is in tho
riveting of her hull; therefore the
driving of rivets is taken as a standard
OF size and of progress by most of the
shipbuilders. To build 10000 ton
ship week means the driving Of
about 65O,OOO rivets in that time. The
Union shipyards of San Francisco, as
at present equipped and freed from la
Dor troubles, can drive about 100000
rivets, although In record week It
drove 411,OO0 rivets; the four next
largest yards in America-at Fore Riv-
er, Mass, at Newport News, Va, at
Camden and at Philadelphia upon the
Delaware-can drive 100000 to 5000
rivets week each. half dozen
smaller steel shipyards will drive from
10000 TO 10000 each seven days.
Riveting, despite all the inventions
devised to speed II up, remains hand
work and slow work. A riveting gang
consists of twp men and two boys
the riveter. his "holder-On," the passer
boy and the heater boy. The gang
drives from 300 to S75 rivets in the
course of tCn-hour day and is tired
Mt the end OF IT. But when you know
that 1t takes four men all of a working
day to drive an average of little less
than 800 rivets, you can begin to see
the full size of the labor problem OF
driving at least 650.OOO rivets n week
necessary to turn out 1OOOO-ton
ship at the end of that length of time.
In other words, you need 200 men for
the riveting gangs alone.
Look at the matter from another an
gle, writes Edward Hungerford in Har-
per's. Ten ships week-the tremen-
dous program for 1918 to which we
stand cOmmftted-means $500, 900 riv-
cts week. And the rivet capacity of
our five greatest yards-with a total
working force OF $4,000 men at the end
Of 1917-was but 1,35O,OOO rivets
week. And riveting represents only
about 20 per cent in the construction
of ship.

DAY OF WASTE Is ENDED
Every Sort Of Reuse Now Being Made
Use Of in Some Way in
Britain.

How to avoid waste is to be one of

the visitor may see samples of oils
from fish-waste, potash from banana
stalks, fats from slaughter-house ref

MAKE WAR ON ONION MALADY
Strong Efforts Going On to Stamp Out
Disease That 10 Known
as Neckrot.

To combat neckrot-a destructive
storage rot OF onions-in various local
tiles of the United States, the United
States department of agriculture next
season Is to assist growers in testing
a method Of controlling the disease
with the hope Of putting the method
on practicable basis for CONNER
cial use. Specialists Of the depart
ment will be assigned to the districts
affected to advise farmers and to help
In the installation and equipment Of
necessary structures.
The districts known to be infected
include the principal onion n-growing
centers in Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Ohio, Indiana, Delaware, Wisconsin
and Oregon. The disease occurs in
other states also. Losses OF from 25
per cent to IS per cent in white onion
sets have been recorded in the vicinity
Of Chicago and in northern Indiana.
Red and yellow onions are not at
tackled as seriously as the white vari-
ETY..
The disease known as neckrot is
caused by fungus. The parasite en-
ters the wounded neck OF the bulbs at
harvest time and gradually rots the
scales until they become dried up and
worthless. or the control measures
that have been tried, artificial drying
OF the onion sets in crates just after
harvest has given the best results. The
object of this method is to cure the
necks as soon as possible. and thus
check the fungus before it enters the
flesh scales. In various lots treated
recently the rot was reduced from IA
per cent to 1 per cent; from AZ per
cent to z per cent; from SO per
cent to z per cent, and from % per
cent to 10 per cent.

EX-KING DOES USEFUL WORK
Manuel Of Portugal Now Director Of
School for the Re-education Of
Manned Soldiers.

Royalty has suffered much in the

friends. When the interallied confer
ence in the interest of permanently
disabled soldiers was concluded in
Paris, n party of delegates journeyed
to England to inspect the great schools
established there for the re-cducation
Of men MANNED In battle. One of these
schools In particular excited the visi-
tors admiration because of It's mar
velous equipment and seemingly per
feet management. This was all the
more remarkable because the director
of the school was very young man.
So much impressed were the visitors
that before leaving they waited upon
the youthful director and fairly show
cred him with praise.

CITY HAVING RAPID GROWTH
Norfolk Bids Fair to Break all REQ.
erds at Her Present Rate
Of Progress.

There Is not a city In this country,
perhaps none in the world, that is
growing at a more rapid rate than Nor
folk" remarked q. w. Sizer, manager
OF one OF the leading hotels Of that
city. at the Raleigh. the Washington
Post states. "The last census gave
the population of Norfolk at less than
10000. Today 1t is estimated that Nor
folk is a city of 100000. or more than
double the size 1t was In 1910. Wash
ington prides itself on the tremendous
growth attained In the last two or
three years. 1 take considerable pride
In the growth OF Washington, for I
lived here many years, but the pro-
portionate increase In the population
OF the national capital cannot compare
with that Of Norfolk. OF course, both
cities are helped by war business.
Washington, presume, is the busiest
city in the world. but Norfolk is al
most next.
Hampton Roads Is filled with ships.
Battleships are passing In and out
every hour. and soldiers and sailors
are filling the streets, hotels and resi-
dences OF Norfolk. Only recently I
saw some 1000 soldiers from New Zea-
land parading through the streets OF
Norfolk. Many of them were not
young. New Zealand already has sent
close to 10000 men to the front in
France, and Belgium, out of popu-
lation of 100000, and Is still sending
men, which should be an object les
son to us.
Business is booming i'm Norfolk as
never before. The hotels are filed to
overlooking just rs they are In Wash
ington. New business blocks are GO
Ing up and the residence sections of
the city are being extended far into
the outlying districts. venture to say
that in another decade Norfolk will
come close to being the leading city in

STRANGE VARIETIES OF FOOD
People Of Different Parts Of the Earth
Are Shown to Have Decidedly
Different Tastes.

Strange foods, such as potato flour,
artificial protein cakes. green bone-dus
preparations, tabloid soups, pudding
powders and other unusual things, have
come into use during the war and their
adoption serves to remind us that much
good food material is neglected I'm or
dinnry use. Only a few people eat
snailS: most OF us would starve amidst
plenty of locusts: and the thought Of
snakes as food would give those who
call themselves civilized the shuddcrs.
But unusual food. once become IA
miliar, Is often relished. Colonel
Roosevelt got the best work from his
men on his African expedition by
promising them raw steaks from
slaughtered hippopotamuses. Cap
tain Bartlett, who carried Stefansson
to the arctic water, found raw polar
bear flesh more appetiZing than any
thing he had eaten at home
Frenchmen eat snails and dog steaks
cost there more than mutton. Some
arctic tribes prefer to have their fish
decomposed before eating them, and
even then perhaps they smell no worse
than Limburger or Brie cheese. South
Americans eat lizards and mares milk
Is favorite Russian beverage. Truly,
there is no accounting for tastes."-

RAISE MISCHIEF WITH WIRES
Remarkable Effect Of Aurora BoreaiIs
on the Telegraph Wires Of
the Country.

When the aurora borealis. or "north-
ern Lights pay us visit there is
trouble on all the telegraph and tele-
phone lines. The reason for this
seems to be that the aurora borealis,
which is really an unusual electric
emanation from the sun, sets up alb
normal earth currents. The strength
OF these derrents has been measured
many times and found to have poten-
tial varying between 425 volts positive
and 225 volts negative and a resist
ance Of about 1000 ohms.
Donald McNicol. assistant electrical
engineer of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany, who has given much study to
this subject, made an official report In
1892. quoted In the Electrical Expert
menter In which he described the ef-
fects of earth currents on the ten At
tantic cables then in existence. Most
affected was that from Brest to Miaue-
Ion Island, and the disturbances were
greater at the western than NJ the
eastern end, so that often st. Pierre
could send messages to Brest but could
not receive any.
Long cables were more affected than
short ones, southerly ones more than
northerly ones, and the abnormal cur
rents seemed to travel mostly from
east to west. Sometimes the earth cur
rents are so strong that they inJure the
condensers. But they are most erratic
