ELECTRICITY HAS
MANY DUTIES ON
NEW WAR VESSEL

DAN rRANSlOtO. - ne super
dreadnaught California, launched at
Mare Island recently, is a veritable
electric ship.
Besides supplying her driving
power, electricity is used to hoist
the ammunition, rotate the turrets,
operate the 14-inch guns, steer the
ship, raise and lower the anchor,
pump fresh and salt water, operate
the machinery in the machine shop,
carpenter shop, and printing estab-
lishment, supply fresh air for ven
tilation, raise and lower the boats,
operate the refrigeration plant, op-
crate the searchlights and radio
equipment. In the kitchen, electrici-
ity peels the potatoes, washes the
dishes, makes the ice cream, grinds
the meat, mixes the dough, cuts the
butter, and in many other ways
lightens the labors of the sailor
lads.
The chief advantage of electric
drive for a battleship is fuel econo-
my. Fuel economy is far more i'm
portant aboard ship than ashore.
naval officers point out, for ship
must carry her own fuel, and the
longer a ships fuel will last, the
greater her radius of action. The
greatest saving occurs at the usual
cruising speed of about Is knots.
AS compared with the battleships
driven by turbines directly coupled
TO the propellers, it is estimated
that the California will save. while
cruising, about so percent of her
fuel. This because both the tur-
bines and the propellers can rotate
at their best and most economical
speed, which, it is contended. is
often impossible when steam is used
to drive the screws.

tleship is taken aboard in the form

boilers that develop the steam pow

RAISING RATTLESNAKES

The queerest farm in the Ozarks
is that Of Miss Rose Ahern and her
brother Henry. Several miles up
lndina creek, in the heart Of the
rockies and toughest part of the
hills and bluffs, this brother and
sister operates what they call
their diamond rattlesnake farm.
And being in neighborhoo,l
where snakes are plentiful, they
are doing a thriving business
For three years the Aherns have
been following this business and
they will probably have 800 or
400 snakes. this season They es>
pect to do far better than ever be-
fore, now that the war has ended.
The principal profits come from
the extracting Of poison from the
rattlesnakes, which is seld at high
prizes to doctors, chemists md
others. Physicians use this pei;
son, after it has been prepared IN
scientific manner, for the treay-
ment Of epilepsy and other dis
eases. It is known as crctaTin.
They also get a good revenue
from the sale Of 1Tve reptiles L,
museums and travelling shows.
The established rate is 2 cents a
pound. "A large, fat serpent as
ually brings several dollars. The
smaller, poorer specimens are xii
led and rendered into oil, which
has a steady sale at 81 an ounce.

CANE CROP SHOWS BIG
DETERIORATION.

About this time of year there is
usually much pessimism among
sugar planters. Official confrma
ton Of deterioration is now be-
slowed by John S. Dennee, Louis
lana field agent for the govern
ment Bureau Of Crop Estimates.
After a careful survey of the
growing crop he figures that there
will be a tremendous falling OF
this year, the present outlook be-
ing for yield of over 100000 less
of sugar than last year, and that
crop was just about the average.
Mr.. Dennee says:
A careful compilation Of about
geo reports from cane growers in
all parts of the cane belt, bearing
an AVERAGE date Of July l, indi-
Gates a condition of 62.9 per cert
Of normal. compared with ~ a

ten-year average of 81 per cent.
The crop apparently deteriorated
81 points during June.

156, $50 short tons of sugar. Last
year 100000 tons were produced.
In 1915, 137, 800 tons. In 1912,
1858 tons. And the average
production during the past eight
years is 25O,960 tons. The final
Outturn will be larger or smaller
than l56. $50 short tons, depending
upon conditions hereafter, whether
better or worse than average con-
ditions.
"Fan plant cane shows poor to
good stands, but spring plant is
only poor to fair. Stubble cane is
in general good, some planters go
ing so far as to say that their
stubbles are the best they have
seen in long time. The setback
to the crop has been added to by
the persistent and heavy rains and
almost universal condition of
grassy fields. Labor is scarce and
Indifferent and comes high. and
the planters are having no little
difficulty in coping with the situa-
ton.
"The acreage of cane this year
is heavily reduced and is esti-
mated to be not more than 81 per
cent of the 1918 acreage; that is
264. eco acres this year as COM
pared it'll 100000 (revised) last
