most valuable services were performed
rs a scout for Gen. Nelson Miles in

His greatest feat was his part in the
rescue Of the Germaine sisters, two

How lamp Carbon. Arc Obtained.

Carbons of high grade are, 1t Is said,
obtained from tar by Swedish proc
ess. The powdered carbon is pressed
to form electric light carbons, or
larger sizes for electrochemical work.
The method is based on the fact that
finely divided carbon makes up large
percentage Of the composition Of tar
and is what gives the black color, this
being due to the carbon particles sus-
pended In an otherwise dense and
transparent yelIowIsh brown liquid.

OLD FORM OF WINDMILL
HAS BEEN IMPROVED ON.
up to within the last few
years, the windmill has remained
practically much the same and
unimproved since prehistoric
times. Recently 1t has been
taken on a new and remarkable
development, assuming the char
acter of a "wind turbine" for
producing electricity.
In one form, as thus modified,
1t is cylindrical arrangement
of steel Stats placed vertically
and at an angle SO as to catch
the wind. This forms the outer
part, which Is fixed and immov-
able. The wind, entering through
the Stats, causes the Inner part
to revolve, the latter having
central axis set at top and bot
tom upon ball-bearings.
Thus delicately poised, the In
ner part revolves In response to
the slightest breeze. and. as 1t
turns, it drives machinery by
Which the energy developed is
converted into electricity. A
windmill Of this kind, with three
or more superposed stories
and one central shaft, is capa-
ble of delivering 300 horsepower.
The old-fashioned type of
windmill utilizes only about II
per cent Of the power Of the air
currents caught by Its vanes. 1t
is thoroughly unscientific. In
Denmark today properly con-
structed wind motors produce
more than 20 horsepower with q
good wind.
The Danish wind motors, how
ever, are built on a principle
wholly different from that above
described. They have vanes re-
sehnbling in form alrplane pro-
pellers, somewhat modified, these
being usually Of sheet iron and
five In number.
A windmill Of this type auto
matically turns its vanes edge
wise to the wind when the latter
blows too hard, thus Insurlng the
safety of the apparatus. In the
other type the same object Is
gained through the fact that not
more than a certain amount Of
air per second can enter between
the vertical slats, and thus a
limit Is set to the speed at which
the Inner part Of the contrlvapce
can revolve.

HOUSE GETS RIGID
Immigration BILL
New Measure to Substitute
That in Senate Provides
Sweeping Changes.
TO HASTEN FINAL ACTION
More Than 2 Per Cent of Ma.
tionals in U. S. Under Census
of 1890 Barred.

Sweeping changes in the immigra-
tion laws are proposed in a bill re-
ported from the House immigration
committee late yesterday. The meas
ure would restrict immigration from
all countries to per cent of their
nationals resident in the United
States under the census Of 1890, and
exclude Japanese with the exception
of certain students and scientists, as
we'll as other persons not eligible to
citizenship.
The bill contains provisions design
ed to prevent the division of families,
by admitting immediate relatives of
naturalized citizens and those who
have delared their intention to be-
come citizens. 1t also provides that
all nations should have a minimum
quota of 400 persons eligible to enter
the United States before the per
cent quota is applied. To prevent
the deporting Of aliens not eligible
under the law, the bill would provide
for the issuance of certificates of
eligibility abroad.
Substitutes Senate Measure.
The bill was brought out as a substi-
tute for a Senate measure providing for
the admission Of $4,000 Armenian or
phans. Under this procedure committee
members believed il could be placed be-
fore the Senate as a conference report,
which would have right of way, and as
sure final action at the present session
Of Congress.
Chairman johnson of the committee
said the Japanese exclusion section,
! which would not apply to ministers of
the gospel, members Of learned profess
slons or bona fide students merely
would translate into law the gentle
mems agreement between the United
States and Japan affecting immigrat ton.
Under the present law, which the bill
would replace. the quotas are fixed at
3 per cent based on the census of 1910,
and, 1t was explained, the change would
increase the proportion of immigration
from northern and western Europe and
decrease the proportion from southern
and eastern Europe.
Although the number admitted under
the quota restrictions would be sharply
reduced, committee members said the
provision designed to avoid the division
of families would materially offset the
reduction.
The bill would not operate against
immigration from Canada, Newfound-
land, Mexico. Cuba and Central America,
provided those seeking admission had
been President in those countries for
| five years.

N|CARAGUAN CANAL
COST PROH|B|TVE
Estimated Construction Ex-
pense, S1,00O,000,0O0
Army Experts Report.

Because the cost would now run in
the neighborhood of a billion dol
lars. according to rough estimates.
present construction of new canal
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
through Nicaragua is prohibitive, in
the eyes of President Harding and his
cabinet.
Aside from the diplomatic exchanges
with Costa Rica during the meeting
here of the Central American con-
ference, the only consideration given
the project was based on the thought
that Panama canal profits might pay
construction costs for the new water
way.
Based ON 1901 Survey.
The estimated cost of the proposed
canal was presented yesterday by
| Army engineers, but was based on
pre-war standards, which have been
more than doubled.
The total cost would be about
! S492, 100000, based on the estimates
submitted to Congress by the Walker
commission. which investigated the
project in 1901, and taking into con-
sideration the increased charges for
construction of the Panama water
way caused by unforeseen obstacles.
| The Walker commission fixed cost
Of s1ss.s64.o0O for an eight-lock
! waterway in Nicaragua, as compared
! to s144,233.35s for the Panama opera
! ton. Subsequently,, however. the Pan
anna lock dimensions and the width
| of the canal were increased, and
| these, with slides and other obstacles
| raised the actual construction cost to
/ $373,000.000.
| Secretary Weeks presented to the
cabinet the statement as to the cost,
biased on a memorandum prepared by
Maj Gen. Beach. chief of Army engi-
ineers. Later the memorandum was
imade public at the War Department.
with an oral explanation by Secretary
Weeks that this government was not
taking any definite steps in the mat
tier.
After reviewing geographical condi-
tions on the Nicaragua route, to
(which the United States already has
the title, the statement said:
Iof a canal via the Nicaragua route.
So feet deep and $50 feet minimum
Ibottom width, and locks, four on each
side of the lake (Nicaragua), each
with two chambers 81 feet by 40 feet
clear dimensions, at $189,864 ,062.
'1f the increased dimensions used at
Panama were adopted at Nicaragua
the cost of the Nicaragua route at
pre-war prices would be about s4s2,-
Attention is invited by the state
Iment, however, to the increase of all
lconstruction and dredging costs.
which are said to have more than
doubled.
"The increase is due" the state
lment added. "to the greatly in
icreased price of coal and the higher
lprice of labor in all lines. together
with the difficulty in securing labor
land its diminished efficiency. This in
t. NIT hn two to- n
mensions Of locks and canal would
make the canal via the Nicaragua
jroute today cost approximately
$1,000 .000. .000.'

of the President, or at least has not
been able to glimpse 1t at close range.
He has been in New York, New Jer-
sey, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania.
Maryland and Ohio for weekend
jaunts or sojourns of ten days or a
fortnight, and was in Florida for a
vacation last year. But the vast
reaches of the middle west and west
have had no sight of Mr.. Harding. In
the heart Of the republic he is a
stranger, though he has been Presi-
dent nearly two years.
That heart Mr.. Harding this year
will penetrate in the course of a great
swing around the circle. He is likely
to do some pretty plain speaking in
his own invariably impressive fash
ion. His speeches from the town
squares and the rear platform Of his
train will tell not only of administra-
ton achievements. but Of administra-
tion tribulations.
Can Gauge Sentiment.
1t is when the President takes his
troubles to the people that. his friends
think. he may be most potent They
are confident he is going to galvanize
into fresh life the countless friend
ships he already, enjoys and forge
new one where there may be few now.
Mr.. Harding is a pretty keen gauger
of the political weather. When his
tour is over none will understand
better the advisability, or otherwise,
of a second fight for the presidency.
Then-hardly before-some reliable
indication Of his purposes may be
looked for.
