MODERN AMERICAN SHIP
. TO HAVE EARS ON BOW
Recalls Oid-Time Custom of Chinese
Shipping Men Using Ferocious
eyes" to Locate Enemy.

NEW YORK. June 2.-In olden
times. when Chinese shipbuilders de-
signed and constructed their lateen-
sailed craft for war or commerci4i
purposes: prominent and ofttimes 70
rocious eyes" were located on either
side Of the bow.
Today modern America. now the
leading nation in ship construction. is
proposing to equip her merchant yes
sells with ears" the location of which
like the eyes on the Chinese JUNK
are on the ships bows. but under In
stead of over the water. While su-
perstition induced the Chinaman to
equip his ship so it could see" its
enemies and work it's way into SAFE
port through shoal water, hidden
rocks and crowded waterways. sci
ence has designed the ears" for the
same purpose.
Test of Listening Device.
equipped as a demonstrating ship,
forty or more representatives OF lead
ing steamship lines have just had an
opportunity to see and test the EN-
cacy OF the listening device. 1t is
now a government-controlled inven-
tion, used on fighting ships during
the war as a protection against SUB
marines and officially designated by
the Navy as the m. V. type hydro
phone"
Its object is to disclose in sur
rounding waters the presence of other
craft. to foretell the approach to shoal
waters. apprise the navigator OF the
vicinity of lightships equipped with
submarine bell signaling devices. II
is expected also to disclose with a
remarkable degree of accuracy the
depth of water wherein the snip SO
equipped is floating.
4S Receivers in Apparatus.
The apparatus includes forty-eight
hydrophone receivers, located IN
tank of water in the bow of the yes
sci. SO that an equal number ls on
either side. In the test the SOUND OF
the propellers of a steamer five miles
distant was heard. The depth OF
water is ascertained by listening TO
the noise made by the propellers OF
the vessel carrying the hydrophone as
it is echoed back from the bottom OF
the sea. In depths beyond 100 fatn-
oms. however. the hydrophone re.

A special delegation Of Filipinos, Of
ficially representing the Filipino peo-
pie, attended the Republican and Dem.
ocratic National conventions, seeking
an Endorsement of the Filipino desire
for independence in the two platforms.
Their arguments, briefly ststed. were
as follows:
First.-That the American Declare
tion Of Independence declares that
governments derive their Just powers
from the consent of the governed;
Second.-That the American Con-
gress, in the Jones law, solemnly prom
ised the Filipinos independence upon
the establishment Of a stable govern
ment, and that their claim that the
said stable government is now in ex-
istence in the islands has been Official
ly confirmed by Americas own repre-
sentatiyes there; and
Third.-That America went before
the world in the recent war as the
avowed champion of self determine
tion," American soldiers having been
told II was one OF the things they
were lighting and dying for.

BY WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

The greatest personal victory yet
won in this Democratic convention was
scored by young Filipino by the name
Of Jose p. Melencio. He has charge Of
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington.
He is only twenty-six years old and
received his education in the public
schools Of the Philippines-under
American teachers, as he proudly
boasted-and at Georgetown, D. G.
He is a remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace. using the best
language and without a trace of en-
barrassment he presented the claim
of the Filipinos to independence. The
strength of his argument, the skill
with which he marshaled his facts and
the high tone of his speech. He capti-
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment Of
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea.
When one of the committee asked
him some questions he returned to the
platform and answered them with as
much logic and precision as If he had
taken weeks to prepare his answer. II
was a remarkable triumph.
AS one who began twenty-five years
ago to fight for the promise of inde-
pendence was proud Of this illustrs-
ton OF what the Filipino is capable.

The Filipinos declare they have NO
grudge or grievance against the Amer
lean people. Their appeal is accom-
panied by message Of friendship and
gratitude for all that America has dsne
for them. They point out that Uncle
Sam gave independence to Cuba. and
they hope that they. too, will receive
that boon without which. they declare,
no civilized and patriotic people can
enjoy the maximum Of happiness and

easily require a revision of an entire

victory could ever be worth the price
of such a sacrifice.
The average weight of the American

puted as 141.54 pounds, which had in
creased when the men were discharged
to 14489 pounds. The reason assign
ed is that he men We're compelled to
eat more nourishing food in the army

The explanations are good enough,
but the problem of the woman is not
how to increase her appetite, but how
to keep it within bounds. Undoubted-
ly starvation will decrease even

lem of her life is how to be happy and

L0CANSP0RT MAYOR
DIDN'T PROFITEER
IN SUGAR, HE SAYS

INDIANAPOLIS, May 4. - In ex-
PLANTATION of his connection with an
alleged attempt to profiteer in the sale
of carload of sugar to the Sales Elk
tension Company in this city, James
l. Barnes, mayor of Logansport, has
made an affidavit asserting that he
lent the money to the Ruch-Drompp
Company, Of that city, in whose name
the sugar was bought in Chicago.
The affidavit also is supported by
w. E. Drompp as being correct
statement of facts. The accusation
against the mayor and the Ruch.
Drompp company was made by Stan
ley Wyckoff, fair price commissioner
for Indiana, no said a profit of $1,000
on the car load was made on the deal
and that the participants were operat-
ing without a license.
Mr.. Barnes's affidavit follows:
Text of Affidavit
"A week ago Saturday, April "a, Ed
ward Drompp, of the RuchDrompp
Grocery company, met me and told
me that he had bought carload of
sugar for 10 cents a pound and
thought he had made arrangements
with Will Porter, president of the
City National Bank, to take care of it
when it came, but on account of the
changed money conditions he could
not get the money for himself and
that he would lose the purchase of
this sugar if they did not get the mon
ey at once. He also showed me a
telegram from Syne-Eagle company,
of Chicago, saying that draft must be
paid at once or they would divert the
sugar, or words to that effect He
| told me, also, that these people were
anxious to take the sugar back as it
was worth 81 cents on the market
and this is the reason they wanted
it back. l told him that if sugar was
worth what he said, / would let him
have the money, and we went up to
| my office and l called George Boerg-
er, Of Boerger Bros. Grocery company.
by phone and asked him if 10 cents
was a cheap price for sugar and he
| told me it was. and that l was safe
| in letting Ruch-Drompp company have
the money.
Then l told Drompp that I would
let him have the money, and Tuesday
| got the money for him and paid the
draft and told Earl Moss of the City
National bank that I wanted to handle
this loan the same as the bank had on
previous occasions and he told me
mat all l needed to do was to hold the
bill of lading, which l did, and l had
the understa nding with Drompp that
he would sell the sugar in Logansport.
but while l was out of the city he
came to George Clevenger, who works
| for me, and they went to the bank and
| had draft made in my name for
$1,000. When | came home Saturda y
afternoon and found this out l told
DrOmDn tn have the ('ifv Nafinna
bank wire the Indianapolis bank to
| retrun the draft, as I wanted this
sugar sold in Logansport. l wish to
say that if this draft has not been
paid the sugar will be stopped at Log
ansport not Indiana polls l under
stand it is in Michigan. My only in
terest in this transaction was to help
Mr.. Drompp and at the same time get
| some sugar for Logansport"

Helsingfors, Spotless Town
(Arthur Ruhl in the Outlook

(Arthur Ruhl in the Outlook
Helsingfors, Finland, might give
lessons in the municipal amenities to
almost any American city, although
it is tucked away in the north, in a
bare little land of rock and lakes and
birch trees, in the latitude of the
southern end of Greenland.
I do not happen to know of any
and we'll built. They post no bills in
Helsingfors. They tie them around
posts with strings, and when they
have served their purpose they disap-
pear, strings and all. Every morning
there is a market on the board quay
at the end of the esplanade; fish flow
ers, meat and egetables-even Ore
gon apples, which contrive. in spite of
distance and almost prohibitive rates
of exchange, to cross the siXtieth par
allel. A few minutes after noon you
would never know a market had been
there. Stalls fold up, rubbish disap-
pears, street cleaners turn on the hose,
and presently the quay is as clean as
tennis court.
The HelSingfors gas tanks are not
the dismal contraptions that disfigure
most of our water fronts. The tank
itself may be the same, but they build
neat brick house for tia sort of
monumental roundhouse, with stone
wreaths around the top by way of
frieze. quite in place among buildings
intended for potter uses, and not with
out some suggestion of the Castle of
st. Angelo in Rome.

How Odor Travels, Is Shown
(New York Sun and HeraId1

New \ DIX sun ana Herald
The rapid propagation of smells no
ticed in the open air appears due en-
tirely to currents since in small tubes,
where currents do not exist, the rate
is found to be very small. Expert
ments along this line were first under
taken in England by Professor Ayr
ton, and additional data have been re-
ported in this country.
With ammonia diffusing through a
tube a meter and half long, over two
hours elapsed before the smell could
be detected at the other end of the
tube. Using different lengths Of tub
ing, it was found that the time re-
quired for the diffusion of the smell
was roughly proportional to the
square of the length. Ammonia and
hydrogen sulphidc were used for these
experiments. The presence of am
monia could be detected chemically
at a point in a tube after about the
same time is when the sense of
smell was used for a detector. The
rate of propagation of the smell of
ammonia was not markedly different
when this had to pass along the sa me
tube either horizontally or. vertically
upward ar vertically downward. With
