NARROW MARGIN OF SAFETY
Tunnel Workers Had Only Ei0hs
Inches Of Rock Between Them
selves and the River.

A very interesting bit OF tunneling
was recently done on the Fourteenth
street tube under the East river, New
York. The heading was being run in
rock, and at one point test holes
showed q thickness Of only eight inches
of sound dry rock above the line along
which the top Of the tunnel was to
run. As the tunnel was being driven
without the use of compressed air, It
was decided to drop the upper heading
four feet until this thin cover Of rock
was passed. The cast-iron lining was
set in place at each side Of this Sec
ton, and the rock was removed very
carefully by using great many holes,
each loaded with about one-eighth Of
a stick of dynamite. AS each bit Of
rock was removed to the arch the tun.
mel lining was set in place. By this
means the dangerous section was tun-
neled without breaking through the
thin shell-Scientific American.

RoyaIty's FavorIte Jewels.

Mention was made the other day
that diamonds and rubies are the IA
vorite precious stones of Queen Alex
andra. In this connection 1t is inter
esting to add that the queen prefers
emeralds to all other stones. Diamonds
are her favorite stones after emeralds,
and she has a wonderful collection
of both. Princess Mary and Princess
Arthur Of Connaught prefer pearls.
Many years ago. when Queen Victoria
was asked which stone she liked best,
she contented herself with the reply s.:
"All precious stones are beautiful"
The late King Edward was az expert
judge Of all precious stones.-London

Bird Population Increasing.

The beneficial effects of the mi
gratory bird treaty act are beginning
to be felt. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture, through its
Bureau of Biological Survey, has
conducted Investigations of the
breeding areas of ducks in North
Dakota and Nebraska. Compared
with former years, gratifying in
crease of breeding waterfowl, par
.ticularly in North Dakota, is evident.
The fifth annual series OF counts OF
birds of all species breeding on selec-
ted areas in various parts of the
United States contained large pro-
portion of reports showing increases
in bird population. The total num-
Der of reports received, however, was
not large. Many of the persons who
had formerly taken part in the an
nual bird counts were unable, be-
cause Of extra duties assumed dur
ing the war, to find time for the
work required by the fifth count.
MANY species of migratory birds"
reports the chief of the Bureau of
Biological Survey, "have had a
marked increase under the existing
treaty act. Waterfowl formerly
driven to the far North by spring
shooting have remained in steadily
increasing numbers to breed in local
tiles where none had previously nest
ed for many years"

FRIDAY, JANUARY 10. 1920.

At midnight Friday, January Is,
constitutional prohibition becomes
effective throughout the United
States, and the disciples of John
Barley, included among whom there
have been none more rabid, first, last
and all the time, than the Baltimore
daily press, are sending up their last
wall of protest.
The prohibition amendment passed
by the Sixty-fifth Congress was rati-
fed by SO States on January IL,
1919. The amedment provided that
it should become operative one year
after ratification, and that year has
rolled around. This ratification by
three-fourths of the States having
taken place, Frank L. Polk, as Act
ing Secretary Of State, made the
necessary formal proclamation on
January % of last year.
Beginning with the first clock tick
Of January II, "the manufacture
sale or transportation of intoxicating
liquors within, the importation
thereof from the United States and
all territory subject to the jurisdic-
ton thereof for beverage purposes
is prohibited.

New Fuel.

A fuel more economical than gaso-
line and less hard on the motor has
been tested successfully in the Air
Mail Services, according to an an
nouncement made by otto Praeger
Second Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral, in charge of the air mail.
The tests, which were made on
the Washington-New York route be-
tween August and September 49,
indicate a saving of 3.3 gallons OF
fuel. The new synthetic fuel is
know commercially as cogas and is
composed of thirty-eight parts OF
alcohol, nineteen parts of benzol,
four parts tolnol, thirty parts gaso-
line and seven and one-half parts OF
ether. The remaining one and one
half part is not explained.

Metric System Explained In One
Minute.

A member of World Trade Club
holds the world record for rapid ex-
PLANTATION of the, Metric weight
measurements and the way in which
they ought to be used. He does this
in one minute. An objector who had
never looked the matter up declared
that the metric system was complex
and that it would take long time
to learn it. 1t was then that the
member of World Trade Club first
undertook to explain, in one minute,
all that needed to be known OF
metric units. He did it to the salts
faction OF eminent auditors. Here is
how he did it,
Learn only the units, dollar,
meter, liter, gram:-dollar, the
measure of value; meter, the meas
ure of lenght; liter, measure Of
bulk; gram, for weight. You know
all about the American dollar. The
metric units, meter, liter, gram, are
just like dollar, divided decimally
and multiplied decimally. If you
want to compare metric units with
present units, the meter is 1919
more than the yard; 500 grams lie
about 10h more than the pound
avoirdupois, the liter, is SO less
than the U. s. liquid quart (13%
less than the British liquid quartz
that is all 900 need to use the
metric standards"
Plans are complete for the annual
meeting of the American Metric AS
ISOLATION to be held in st. Louis.
1890 December. A Metric Special
will carry members Of the Associa-
ton from New York to st. Louis, and
stop win be made in Buffalo in
order that members OF the party
may attend church. Clergymen of
various denominations will preach to
these metric advocates. They have
been asked to take as their text:
Proverbs 20:1O divers weights and
divers measures, both Of them alike
are abomination to the Lord" The
World Trade Club of San Francisco
and the Metric Association of New
York, in cooperation with hundreds
of other influential organizations
throughout the United States, are
urging the adoption of metric stand
ardization for the uniformity of
weights and measures.

The Treaty of Peace bids fair to be
the rock upon which the democratic
party is to split, and it is also a
knotty problem for the Republican
party as the weeks upon weeks of
apparent useless discussion have
proven.
President Wilson's decision that
the League of Nations issue should
be placed before the voters as a
Solemn referendum" and William j.
Bryan's contention that the Demo-
cratic party cannot go before the
country on the question, but should
accept such compromises ''as may be
possible" were the outstanding
features Of the Jackson Day meeting
and banquet in Washington on jan
uary 8.
The Presidents message to the
party, written from the sickroom in
the White House, and read to the
diners, made no mention of a third
term for himself and no announce
ment Of an impending retirement to
private life.
Mr. Bryan's speech, taking definite
issue with the Presidents decision
on the great question, was accompa-
MED by a statement that he was not
speaking as candidate for the Pres
idential nomination.
AS matters stand the Democratic
party is very much 'up in the air."
torn between feelings of party fidel-
ity to the President, and the practi-
cal argument of Mr.. Bryan about
getting action now and changes in
the treaty later. One thing is GER
tain, that everyone is Disguised with
the fiasco that has been enacted in
the Senate, where party politicians
have played politics to such an ex-
tent over a matter involving the
peoples of the whole world, that the
Treaty has been dragged down to the
depths of the smallest partisan
politics.

The Successful Farmer

and cuts down costs by investment in
labor saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers crops en-
courage new investment. more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads-the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the worlds markets.
The railroads-like the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do.
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough toyield fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion. which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay .
the price of inadequate transportation

PREVENT VOTE
 OF CONFIDENCE

Rome, May 7-Disorders arose in the Chamber of Deputies today during debate on the governments foreign policy and prevented the taking of a vote of confidence in Premier Nitti's S cabinet.
 Negotiations conducted by the Premier at the San Reno conference, especially relative to the Adriaic question, were made the basis for sharp criticism by the deputies. The attack gradually changed into criti- cism of the whole policy of the gov ernment. The Socialist members nearly came to blows with neighbor- ing groups and the session became so disorderly that it was adjourned by Vittorio Orlando, former premier and president of the chamber.
 Premier Nitti made a, brief address, insisting his course was approved by majority of the members.

GORDON BENNETT STORY.

Gordon Bennett was a native of NewmiI1, in Berunshire. Scotland, and for some time attended the parish school of Grange. A story is told of him like this: There was a min ister at Grange-the Rev. MT. Duff. His son became General Duff in the American Army. Bennett and Gen eral Duff, hitherto unknown to each other, were at a banquet in New York. Bennett, in a speech, told how in his early days he had gone from Newnil1 to Grange school. T. was the custom then for the schol- ars to carry a peat with them for the school fire. Bennett said he did not bother to carry peat from Newmill. He took one from the minister of Oranges stack when passing. Whereupon General Duff shouted:
 That was my fathers stack you were stealing front."
