- - A FORTUNE IN A THRONE

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger)
 When Wilhelm II became King of Prussia, he inherited an elaborately carved chair, oyerhung by silken cur talns which was the ancestral throne of the Hohenzollern dynasty This chair, however, was a modest and un- pretentious affair compared with the throne of the German Emperor, which IS said 10 have cost more than s100,- GOO. It is described as built of native woods in their natural tints, with the ai aimorlal bearings of the Hohenzolerns above the lofty back and covered with carved designs emblematic of the states composing the Teutonic feder- alton. The back, supported by two columns of wood, is of leather and lVory, and the seat is overhung by q canopy of velvet. The tips of the arms are solid gold, with setting of em- eralds. There is also much cloth of gold to lend additional gorgeousness.
 On this wonderful chair, on state occasions, the all highest sat in awful majesty, dressed in a military uniform of white and gold, in posture bolt 'up right, and with his right hand clapsing an arm of the throne, while one foot rested on velvet covered hassock.

WHALING INDUSTRY
 MAY STAGE COMEBACK
(NeWark NeWS)

If the whales all aren't blown out of the water on account of being mistaken for submarines natural enough mis- take, but one with unfortunate conse- quences to the parties most concerned it is likely that a revival of the old time whaling industry may follow the war, or even may be witnessed before the war ends. As a matter of fact, despite the call for ships in absolutely essential trades signs of some such revival in America have not been lack ing within the past year or so, and the Norwegian whalers have kept on, as best they could, with the pursuit of the big marine mammals.
 Up to last year it had been, from all accounts, many a long day since a whaler had tied up at the wharves of New Bedford, where formerly tales of whaling exploits (and of whaling prof its) were told the delight both of land lubber hearers and the briny racon- teurs. The town, however, one fine day, was stirred to the depths of it's traditional foundations by the arrival of the brig Viola, which had been whale-seeking and to good puprose. The New Bedford salts who manned her brought home more than 1000 bar rels of oil, which, with other results of the cruise, netted them something like s75,000.
 As to the Norwegians, fairly recent
 reports indicate that whaling, far from being abandoned by them, has yielded during the war rather surprising re-
 turns, considering the diversion of
 whalers to other lines of seafaring. The
 complete figures for 1916 show that the total Norwegian production of whale oil for that year was 367.000 barrels as compared to 475,000 in 1915, 575,000 in 1914. and 600,00 in 1913. The yield from the South Shetland islands field remained the greatest but the Nor wegian whalers went to many other
 parts of the seven seas with profitable | results. The whale continues to be hunted mostly in small boats of from | 100 to 150 tons burden.
 It is said that one special reason for l the carrying on of whaling during the war has been because no oil for the ] engines of battleships compares with
 that from the head of the sperm whale | This does not disintegrate from great heat and pressure and, consequently 1 the demand for it far exceeds the SUD- l ply. There is, after all, something fit ing in having products of the sea levia- than go to the fighting monsters of the deep.

STATE LIBRARIAN BACK FROM STUDY
 IF COAST LIBRARY

Con Cronin, state librarian, has re- turned from a ten days trip to study library methods in California, with in- formation on organization, classified practiced in the big library at Sacra- mento, that should be of great benefit to the users of the state library when applied here, so far as limited space and funds will permit.
 "California handles her state library in the proper manner" Mir. Cronin said yesterday. They have depart ments each complete, and many of them are better than our entire library. They appreciate the value of books and records, and care for them in an appropriate manner.
 For instance, this legislature has just appropriated S3,000,000, to which will be added previous appropriation of s300,000, to build court and library building to house the state library and the state supreme court. It will be built on a block opposite the capitol, which the city of Sacramento pur- | chased at a cost of sS00,000 and pre- sented to the state for that purpose.
 "The annual appropriation for the upkeep of library in California is l $200,O00.
 However, we will do the best we can with our limited space and appro- priation, and I have no doubt that this state will soon come to a realization | of the value of these records and ac- ! cord them the treatment their import i ance deserves"

15,000,000 PRAIRIE DOCS EXPECTED ID
 GIVE UP THE GHOST

million acres in six counties of Arizona will be sprinkled with car loads of poisoned grain this month, and it is expected that 100000 prairie dogs will be wiped cut as the result of this deadly seeding. This is the an nouncement made here by D. A. Gil- christ of the United States biological survey and rodent pest inspector for Arizona Gilchrist added that 1000 farmerg will take part in the campaign against the pests in the counties of Apache, Navajo, Coconino, Yavapai, Cochise and Graham.
 Thousands of dollars worth of crops and valuable forage on the cattle rang es are destroyed annually by the prairie dogs, Gilchrist stated. and they propa- gate so rapidly it is necessary to wage constant warfare against them. Thou sands are being killed daily by the state and federal workers, but the prairie dogs continue to grow in number, so a tremendous effort has been planned for this month to cut them off. It is estimated that the poisoned grain will do away with 95 per cent of those on the acreage treated.
 Statistics show that on an average there are 15 prairie dogs to an acre. Each one usually has from three to five burrows. A colony of the pest can ruin a field completely in a short time.
 The success of the work so far, Gil christ said, has been due to the united efforts of the livestock and farmers association, county agricultural agents. United States forestry service officials and agents and officials of the federal and state biological survey bureaus.

SPEEDY CONVICTION . FUR DRUG IMPORTER

One of the quickest verdicts of guilty ever returned in the federal court was that against Frank Edwards yesterday. conviction in ten minutes, of having been part of conspiracy to violate the Harrison act. His fellow conspirator John A. Althos, had already confessed his guilt. The maximum sentence, which has been deferred temporarily is a s10,0O0 fine or two years in a federal prison, or both, in the discretion of the judge.
 Edwards and Althos were alleged to have engaged in an effort to trans port heroin from Los Angeles to Phoe- nix, without registering the narcotic with the internal revenue department. Two ounces, it was proven, were or dered by Althos in Phoenix, shipped rom Los Angeles by Edwards and was Intended for general sale in this vicin- ity. Thus, the three counts were proven and the men convicted. United States Attorney Thomas A. Flynn made the closing argument yesterday morning. F. P. Hall was foreman of the jury.

ABANDON BIG KELP PLANT

The Hercules Powder Companys S plant for reducing kelp, erected at San Diego, Cal, at a cost of 51s million dol lars, is to be abandoned because the cost of harvesting and handling the kelp is higher than the peace time prices obtained for the products, ac- cording to Dr. W. I. Noot who has been connected with the chemical depart ment of the kelp works. He says, how ever, that the people who are burning kelp after drying it will continue to produce potash, which is mixed with mineral products from the packing houses and sold for fertilizer Doctor Moot says something is attacking the kelp and that after the beds have been harvested two or three times they seem to rot away. so that if the har- vesting is continued on large scale it is probable that the beds will entirely disappear.

cUBA's NEGLECTED RESOURCES

Though an agricultural state, there are important branches of agriculture that are all but wanting in Cuba. Thus cereals are not raised on a large scale the hay crop is unimportant and large quantities of flour, potatoes, meats beans, canned goods. apples and other agricultural products are imported. Though many cattle are raised on the island, the dairy industry is as yet un- developed, and much milk, butter and cheese are brought from the United States and other countries. The rural population largely engaged on the great sugar plantation is essentially differ ent from an agricultural state of the United States.

Y es we did! We went because the Kaiser dared s to

sailed on her last tragic voyage Ameri- can petroleum experts examined her boilers and coal bunkers to make sug- gestions for converting her into an oil burner They found this entirely feasi- ble, and estimated that her fireroom force could be reduced 90 per cent by the change-that is, one man out of ten would be needed. It has been said that the Lusitania started on her last voyage short of firemen, and that be- cause she was running with only 70 De rcent steam efficiency the subma- rine was able to torpedo her. Had she been running at full efficiency with coal or had she been fitted for oil burning, she might, perhaps, have es- caped.
 "A ton of oil takes five cubic feet less space than a ton of coal, and gives 80 per cent steaming efficiency against 65 per cent for coal. This works out to about 40 per cent saving in bunker space, which is made available for cargo in a freighter. Moreover, there is a saving in quarters for the crew, because an oil burning ship carries fewer men. Estimates for the Mature tania give a fireroom force of twenty seven men for oil burning as against three hundred and twelve needed to burn coal
 On burning vessels will make from 10 to 20 per cent more mileage than coal burners. There is better control of steaming, because fires can be start ed and stopped instantly, steam raised quickly, and time in port saved through the greater ease of taking on oil as contrasted with coal. Coaling is al- ways a dirty job and tedious, whereas oil is simply pumped into the double bottoms quickly and without fuss or muss.
 Oil is often cheaper than coal in act ual dollars-prices vary widely, of course. Oil does not deteriorate in storage like coal. Oil eliminates the fire risk from spontaneous combustion in coal, and is not subject to the dan- ger of shifting in rough weather at sea, Oil eliminates ashes and ash convey ors smoke and soot, and the necessity for frequently painting ship. Oil re- duces the expenses of grate repairs, erosion of boiler plate, fuel handling devices afloat and ashore.
 Even more remarkable. however, is the increase in; radius of ship opera tion and the possibility for planning profitable voyages without handicaps imposed by cOaling.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
 ID GIVE VAUDEVILLE

Something new in the line Of enter tainment by local high school students will be tried when the girls of the Hi-Y club stage vaudeville show Tuesday, April 22. This is probably the first attempt by the girls Of Phoe- nix high school to produce vaudeville heretofore confining their efforts to the drama.
 The girls of the Hi-Y club showed their capabilities in a dramatic way last year when they put on Miss Fearless and Co" So great was the success of this comedy that the club presented it several times.
 Miss Ethel Rosenberry, who directed Miss Fearless and Co.," is also direct ing the vaudeville show. The girls already have been rehearsing their va rious numbers and are showing up so well that it is believed that they will be developed into combination worthy of semi professionals. :. ! The show will take place in the high school auditorium, which has a large satin capacity and will begin at s | o'clock.

Petroleum is the coming factor in shipping. It will be used under boil CTS to raise steam. Better yet, it will propel internal combustion engines of he Diesel type-the motorship. We have an advantage in our large output of petroleum-65 per cent of the world output. And we are handiest to Mexi- co.'s supplies( now nearly per cent of the world production, with remarkable possibilities for increase, and two types of crude oil that are peculiarly suited 10 marine use.

 Not a little speculation is being in- dulged in also, of the state drillers striking oil, though the geological for nation in this section is not regarded as being so favorable from an oil standpoint as in other portions of the state.
