SEEK UN|F FORM|TY
 IN TESTING METHOD

According to Dr. W. R. Crane, su- perintendent of the southern station of the United States bureau of mines located at Tuscaloosa. q new problem has come to the attention of the chemical staff of the bureau. That Is the relation of the physical and chemical properties of blast furnace coke to it's production and utiliza- tiCn.
 This problem was turned over to this station yesterday by Committee Dc of the American Society for Test ing Materials. It is said the mem bers of this committee found a con siderable lack of uniformity in the testing methods used by different commercial organizations, and enlist ed the help of this station because of the standardized methods of tho bureau.
 One of the main questions taken up by the committee will be to test sam pies of coke gathered from the Bir- minghani district and correlate their physical properties with their per formance in the blast furnaces. The suitable by-product coals from Ala bama come from only six or eight of the 80 coal beds at present, ac- cording to the statement. and 1t is expected that the experiments will lead to the finding of suitable by product coalS in some of the other beds
 This investigation will be under ths direction of G. St John Perrott, chem ical engineer of the bureau.

---------e e.---------- NAVAL MOVIE PICTURES

Homer Croy, in Leslies
 The other day the> newspapers of the country were startled by the an- nouncement that the great naval bat tie of Jutland was to be reproduced Tn motion pictur form.
 At the big battle off the Jutland banks there was no motion picture camera on board-and yet from a motion picture point of view it was the biggest thing ever pulled off.
 The records of both the British and German admiralty offices were studies and miniature ships were made and sailed on an eight-foot ocean. The ships were an exact dup iicate of the big ones in every way and the maneuvers they went through were accurately reproduce1-only you could stand and jump over the whole holocaust. Inch by inch the ships were moved along the same for nation as they went through in the big battle, while off stage short focus cameras ground away. When the pictures appear the ships will look as big as the originals-all due to the short focus--so that many people will think that some camera man sure had q close shave. At the right moment jets of smoke would come up, but the smoke ism as dangerous as it looks. A stage hand was given blowpipes and car ton of cigarettes The hiowpipes came up under the water and through the ship, so that when the director wanted certain ship to fire he would give the stage hand the word and he would take Q pull at his cigarette and then run for the blow pipe. When the big battle was over the stage hand had practically smoked himself to death.
 Thus have We always made motion pictures of the naval battles. The first naval battle ever fought--in motion pictures-was on the roof or | skyscraper in Nassau street, New York, and it was reproduction of the battle of Manila, The boats were only a few feet long. but the people who saw them got their money s worth. If Admiral Dewey's ships had fired as much as the dummies they would still be whanging away But the battle was a great success and the people stood in line to see Dewey down 'em.

 IGastlake received only one visitor yesterday. and that was his brother, Donald Eastlake. of Philadelphia They conferred together some time and the brothers presence seemed to have a good effect upon the prisoner. Donald Fastlake insists that his brother Is innocent and told attaches at the jail that he intended to do everything in his power to aid him. I
 Contrary to expectations, counsel for Eastlake and Miss Knox, former Attorney William W.

Another experiment in the adap- tation of the airplane to peace-time activities was recently made near Dayton, O., according to the Popular Mechanics Magazine.

An air plane scared directly over the grove and sifted powdered arsenate of lead onto the trees by a device described in the article Only q few minutes were required to accomplish this work. which would otherwise have demanded the services of large number of men and sprays for sew eral days. and moreover, it was more effectively done by the plane.
