ELECTRIC ENERGY TAKEN
FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

The demand for electrical energy
Is increasing 80 fast that every
available power source is being
tapped. Geysers and artesian wells
have been called upon to do their
share toward furnishing light and
{ power.
The only sources Of energy as yet
elusive to mans efforts to chain
for power-producing purposes are
the suns rays and the ocean waves.

OF the morning newspapers receive very
little editorial attention. This perhaps
is because, in view of the obviously cri-
teal situation, it is thought that the less

Of Germany, when serious difficulties are

the prospect of French isolation. 1t is
not good for Europe that France should

OF an exhausted Germany" The "Dai-
ly Telegraph" prints a statement, by
an unnamed British Steteman, to the
effect that the situation Is far more cri-
teal than the British people imagine.
The danger, says this commentator, lies
not in a break between Great Britain ana
France, but in the menace of a final
break between France and Germany, in
which case further French mill airy op r
ationS would become inevitable and would
bring tumbIing down the whole shaken
structure of Germany, precinjtating Cen
tral Europe into turmoil. Inc only way
to prevent such a calamity, the state
ment asserts, is for Great Britain to con-
troll French action. This can only be
done by maintaining the Entente. but

A Handles Clock.

THERE is an interesting electrical
= clock, different from the ordinary
in having no hands. Minutes are in
Gicated by means of radial rows of
lights, each containing thirtytwo
electric globes. The hours are indi-
Gated by shorter rows of colored
lights. In place of the hands, then,
two lines of light sweep over the
face of the dial, one indicating min
utes and the other hours. Each sec
ond the illumination in an outer circle
of lights moves forward one lamp.
and when an entire circuit has been
completed the row of minute lamps
is advanced one interval. The hour
hand moves at fve-minute intervals.
The dial is formed on the face of a
huge pendulum, which swings to and
fro over an arc of fifteen feet Tho
pendulum is forty-eight feet long,
and it's weight, with the 5,4S5 lamps
and 1900 connections required, is
5000 pounds. Over a mile of wire
was used in making the connections
of the clock, which was exhibited at
a recent exposition.

If any one who has the price goes
thirsty in New Orleans today 1t is
his own fault.
New Orleans is not particularly re-
markable because it is illegally
wet" when it is supposed to be
legally dry" That condition isn't
peculiar to the Crescent city. New
Orleans has something better to boast
of-a restaurant with a 100 per cent
American dinner.
There have been any number of
stories written about the gastronomic
delights of New Orleans. Some places
have been raved about for years. And
one must admit that the oysters and
the bisque d'ecrevisses a la cardinal
at one place are worth raving about
not to mention the omelette souff1es
at another. But at the restaurant
about which ! am to write there's
some zest to dining.

Pressure of Atmosphere.

THE atmosphere is combination
of various gases, chiefly Oxygen
and nitrogen-about one-fifth oxygen
and four-fifths nitrogen. 1t extends
all around the earth to a height sup
posed to be not much more than fifty
miles. Without it fires would not
burn or plants and animals live.
Now, a cubic foot of air weighs
one-twelfth OF a pound. A cubic foot
of water weighs sixty-two and one
half pounds. Water, therefore, is $50
times as heavy as air. But even
though the air is SO light. the pres
sure of all the air above. causes that
part of it in which we live to exert
Il pressure of about fifteen pounds to
the square inch. If you should like
to prove the presence of atmospheric
pressure you can do it by an interest
ing experiment.
Get an air-tight tin can. with q
screw cap and find rubber stopper
that will fit the opening tightly.
Pour into the can enough water to
cover the bottom a little less than
an inch deep. Having removed the
cap and the stopper, heat the water
in the can until it begins to boil. and
after the steam has escaped through
the opening for time force the
stopper into the opening and screw
the cap down over it. taking care
to protect your fingers from the
steam. Then remove the can from
the fire and place it immediately in
cold water or under a cold-water
faucet. Presently you will Sc it be-
gin to writhe as if in agony and fin
ally it will become so distorted that
it bears little resemblance to can.
The steam escaping from the can
drives out some of the air and the
space formerly occupied by the air
becomes filled with the steam. When
you close the escape with the stopper
and rapidly cool the can the steam
condenses into water. which takes up
very little space; therefore the space
formerly occupied by the steam Is
now empty. In other words, there is
a partial vacuum inside the can. The
pressure on the inside. which in the
beginning was about fifteen pounds
to the square inch, has been greatly
reduced and is no longer able to resist
the pressure from the outside, which
is still about fifteen pounds.

THERE has been foolish talk of the

other Greek. Eagliano, picked up
other blocks of the stock. Together.
the two Greeks have stood by Prince
Louis of Monaco. TO clean out graft
and get the super profits" for the
stock holders--i. g. for themselves.
True, during two years of the war
the Casinos earnings were decreased
by half, or thereabouts. But from
then on, and particularly dating from
the wars end. stakes and puntcrs
increased and the gambling mania
reached a fever it had never known
before.
You have but to glance at the
dividcnds-declared on annual earn
ings after graft had worked its will
upon them.
In 1913, the year when the gam
bling corporation paid the old prince
his 100000 francs bonus. plus his

whole list of extra public improve

concession, the dividend was 63 per

ing at various hotels" had killed
themselves within two weeks before
and after the terrible special meet
ing"
Also, there came out of the meet
ing tales of graft, swelled salary lists,
rich sinecures and misapplications of
funds in vast proportions, put down
to fictitious advertisements, public
works, electric installations. dccora
tions. etc. The salary list, alone, in
Cluded 3.020 names, of whom (and.
then. only in full season. only $50
were the rank-and- file officials of the
tables. croupiers, etc.
So thus, perhaps. they told Prince
Louis the truth, when solemnly af-
firming that there were no super
profits" At least one old personal
friend of NJ. Camille Blanc (and rumor
says that there were others) had the
privilege of playing for nothing" at
the public tables. That is to say, the
chips were given out on credit. but
redeemed for cash-original chips and
whatever the lady might win by
playing them. She was never asked
to square her account with the
cashier for chips on credit to start
with daily. This one name is in every
conversation. But she is not at
Monaco today.
And, SO. of course, I'LL talk about
these super r-profits'--what they were
