Operakions al Mccall.

As is well known in Louisiana
sugar circles, Charles Thibodaux is
president and general manager of the
Evan Belle Plantations. Inc, and is
actively in charge of all the opera
tions at Mccall. Clarence Poche is
superintendent Of fabrication at Nc
Call during the present campaign.
Probably owing to the fact that Mr..
Poche is a regular member of the
Salsburg organization, and that J.
Lebermuth and c. D. Lebermuth are
acting in an advisory capacity con-
tanned in the report concerning opera
tions at Mccall published by Facts
About Sugar on November II may
have created an erroneous impression.
The sales Of Mccall sugars are
being handled by Mr.. Lebermuth, but
the operations at Mccall are being
directed by Mr.. Thibodaux with re-
suits that are gratifying. This plant
will probably conclude grinding oper-
ations about the middle of January,
weather permitting, and from pres
ent indications the results Of this
campaign will be the most satisfac-
tory obtained in the history of the
plant.-Facts About Sugar.

business men in the city is from the

ly due, so that the sunspot, or cluster
of spots, which caused the great cleo
trical storm on May 10, 20 and p, was
quite unexpected. 1t is only since
telegraph and telephone wires and
cables have been in use that electrical
storms of this type have made any
great difference to human beings, so
that records of them have been
meager, but that of last year is by far
the worst that ever occurred, when
measured by damage to electrical ap-
paratuA.
1t burned out fuses ana snOrt-cir-
cuited apparatus all over this country,
caused fires in Europe. and probably
caused one in a railroad yard in Wash

Dead Letter Sales" a Popular Sport

A T'FENDING dead letter sales" is
popular sport in Washington. A
local auction house Is crowded to the
doors when the government puts up at
auction an accumulation of several
months unclaimed and unmailable
parcei-pOst matter.
Some people have an idea that a
dead letter sale is conducted along
lottery lines. A glimpse into the auc-
tion room would bear out this impress
sion. No other goods are in sight. The
auctlOnePr, aish above the crowd, is
rattling on as fast as he can:
Lot number twelve-at $5 at 50,
Sc, at 81; yours for 81, Mr.. Brown"
Then without a pause for breath,
the auctioneer is reeling off the next
number and calling for bids. The bid
ders in the crowd are closely follow
Ing the sale by their catalogues, but
these give only the most general de-
scrlption of each lot of goods. APP
oarently they are buying in the dark.
This is not the case, however The
day before the sale the articles TO be
sold are on display. Long rows Of
packing boxes with aIsles between
them range the length of the auction
room. Each box contains one lot of
foods. Scarcely any articles are dis

a gun 40 or so feet in length, when
the enemy Is as far nff as 30 miles.
Ia the days of the Civil war when
small cannon shot iron balls weighing
10 or 20 pounds the range was usually
point blank, the enemy ship lOomed
large as target and the gun-pulnter
sighted by gazing along the barrel.
These two new instruments are
called the target computor and bat
terry cOmputor. They are directed by
two high-powered telescopes located
at fixed observation stations in the
vicinity of the harhor defense. Or
sighting an enemy ship the observa-
tlons are transmitted electrically to
the two calculating instruments.
where the exact location of the enemy
ship is computed.
These new instruments, the fruit of
several years constant work and eN-
pertinent, predict the advance location
of the moving enemy, make allowances
for the temperature of powder, type
of shell, atmospheric pressure, direc
tlon and velocity of the wind and the
drift of the shell caused by the big
guns rihing. Under the present sys-
TEN all these factors are added, sub
tracted and otherwise checked up and
accounted for by human range finders
