tornado. In the Texas Panhandle
there was heavy snow that stopped

Boilers Heated by Electricity.

The curious anomaly of steam boil
ers heated by electricity is attracting
serious attention In certain localities.
Such boilers have been set up Of ca
pacities up to 1880 kilowatts. or 1000
horsepower, taking electric current of
voltages up to 10000. and offer advan-
tages where coal Is high and water
power cheap. as in certain woodpulp
and paper factories OF northern Eu-
rope. Steam is generated by passage
of the electric current through wa
ter. Narrow vertical tubes of in
sulating material contain water. and
are connected at top and bottom with
the interior of the boiler. Alternating
current Is sent through the water col
umns. the tubes with three-phase cur
rents being connected in groups of
three. Moving the electrodes in the
tubes regulates the current strength.
An efficiency of 95 per cent is claimed
and one watt of electric energy Is
stated to produce nearly four pounds
Of steam.

plxer,Iens That BENEFIT.

In an address OF the Royal College
Of Medicine to students about to start
out in practice for themselves, DR..
George Steele-Perkins Of Edinburgh
gave this advice:
"Also learn to play lawn tennis. golf,
bridge. billiards, or whatever games
most appeal to you. and among other
things do not neglect the noble art Of
self-defense."
This advice is as sound for the
young man starting out as a lawyer
or broker or a business man. For
every man needs some amusement to
which he can turn in order to forget
the worries Of his working hours. No
man is ever too busy to play; an
hours relaxation makes him work bet
ter. That is why Gladstone chopped
down trees and studied Homer. why
Wilson plays golf. why Charles
Schwab plays bridge. why Cleveland
went fishing, why Roosevelt rode.

J. P. Morgan was never too busy to
devote an hour to talking art with
some one who really knew.
Such diversions keep man from

COSTLY PLACE TO MAINTAIN
White House, From Time Of lite Orig
inai Building, Has Absorbed
M!llions Of Dollars.

Just 100 years ago President Mon
roe INDUCED In a little extravaganza.
He "blew himself" to a bathtnb. 1t
cost 500. and for a long time there
after was the only bathtub in the
White House.
The historic mansion has been pref
ty expensive from first to last. Up to
date considerably more than $1,000
600 has been spent on 1t, including
repairs and refurnishing.
Its cornerstone was laid by George
Washington in bare field October ].
1892. Since then it has been twice
rebuilt-after the British burned 1t
and again during the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. 1t was commonly called
In early days the Great House. or the
Presidents Palace.
Recently Mr.. Tumulty again gave
out the announcement that the White
House would be closed to visitors for
some time to come, because of neces-
sary repairs" 1t seems forever to he
needing repairs and refurnishing, and
for the latter purpose much more than
81 ,OOO.O has been expended since
the beginning.
The original cost of the building
was S333. POT. Its reconstruction
after the British raid of 1914 involved
an expenditure OF $246. 40. the house
being Quilted and It's walls so far de-
stroyed that the greater part of them
had to be replaced above the first
story with new brick and fresh cut
stone.
Inevitably there will be third re-
building some day. Plans and model
of the White House as it ought to be
with wings added, have already been
made. The wings are embraced by ex-
terror colonnades. In the east wing
is to be a great reception room; in
the west wing the state dining room.
On the second floor of each wing are
to be five bedrooms. Thus the prest-
dent will have about twenty bedrooms
Mt his disposal. and will be enabled tc
offer much freer hospitality. Con-
servatOries in the rear will complete a
magnificent quadrangle, and the whole
effect Will be very beautiful.
The cost of rebuilding the White
House in this style will be In the
neighborhood Of 100000.

Exciting Incident in the Life Of a

London.-Little by little the world
Is learning some of the romance and
excitement that at times punctuated
the rather prosaic lives of the men who
patrolled the seas and kept the ocean
traffic lanes open for allied shipping.
The dangers that lurked in the Arabiun
eeas and Indian ocean have. been
known in a general way from the too
frequent admiralty reports Of ships
sunk there by submarines and raiders.
An episode in the life Of a raider pa
troll is told by a correspondent of the
London Times. as follows: .7

patrol-a dull job, as all patrolling
Jobs are. But we did not pretend to
patton of searching for the German
raider Wolf. Her guns could outrange
the guns Of our little ship. SO efrectual-
ly, that, had we met her, we should
probably have been blown out OF the
sea before we could put shot any
where near her. and, frankly, we had
no great desire to meet her.
About 10 o'clock one evening a sig
mailman appeared at the wardrOOm
door with a message from the bridge,

of his wits by these yarns about the

"All these merchantmen are going
about without lights nowadays"
The captain and the navigator went
up to the bridge, where they were

The moon was nearly full. casting a
white track across the dark blue car
pet OF the sea. 1t was the kind of
night that brings back memories Of
Thames regatta, of lounging in a we'll
cushioned punt, and listening to good
band. To connect such a night with
German raiders, guns, mines and tor
pedoes was quite impossible; the whole
setting was entirely wrong.
The mysterious ship was now two
points on our port bow, and about
three miles ahead. A thick volume of
smoke pouring from her funnel sug-
gested that she was In hurry. or, at
all events. was not disposed to be so
