3OO WINE RALS IN
 0NE SQUARE MILE
Mines, Worked For Centuries, Yield Many Queer
 Ores

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 17.-Three hun dred different minerals mined from a single square mile of ground that Is the unique distinction of the Lang ban mines in Sweden, which con- tain by far the worlds most varied assortment of metals. |.
 Professor Aminoff, head of the mineralogical department of the Royal Museum, has asked for funds to Analyze 200 of the Langban min erals which are still mysteries 70 the scientific world. Of the so ~or more minerals which already have been analysed. large number are found only in Sweden.
 While it is admitted that there ia little commercial profit, if any, in assaying and describing the curious specimens found al the Langban mines, the work is being pushed be- cause of the general public interest in the strange ways of Mother Earth, and because experts hope to learn lessons that will give them side lights on the common metals Of t; ade.
 For moro than four centuries these mines have been worked. the principal yields being iron ore, spec ular iron, and magnetic. During all those years the miners have been bringing home to their families queer Jumps of mineral to be cher ished as keepsakes There is, for in hue, and iEesite, which crystal lizes in rosette formation Then there is the strange pyrochroite which in the mine is sky blue and transparent, but when brought to the surface turns dark brown and opaque.

LONGEST TUNNEL
 NEARLY FINISHED
10 Miles In Length, It Will Carry 6O0,00O,OOO GaI-
 Ions Of Water Daily

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Shan. daken tunnel, which New York city has been constructing since 1917, vii be finished about January l, the board of water supply announced to- day. Extending 1S.1 miles under the Shandaken mountains, 1t Is the longest tunnel for any purpose in the world.
 It will convey 800, ,ooo,o 900 gallons of water a day from a point at the Schoharie reservoir to Esopus creek which flows into the Ashokan reser- voir. It is probable that there win be a celebration to commemorate its completion.
 The contract was awarded on No- vember 9. 1917, and the tunnel will be completed year ahead of the estimated time. The cost has been $1213S,000. A total of 566,000 cubic yards of rock have been excayated. Throughout it's entire length the tunnel is lined with concrete.
 To supply Brooklyn, Richmond and Queens with Catskill water two con- tracts are now under way for the laying of 66 and 72-inch pipes. One of these pipe lines will extend to the Narrows and another under the Narrows to Staten Island.
 New York city Is now using from all sources about 76ooOo.oOo gallons of water a day. This, it is cal culated, will be sufficient until 1895. In that year, Judging by the growth of population. the engineers of the board of water supply estimate that 1,1o0 100000 gallons a day will be needed. The additional supply will come partly from a now existi- sur plus and partly from the Gilboa dam, now under construction. According to the board of water supply's en- gineers. New York city's population, compared with that of other cities, Is the most economical In its use of water, wasting comparatively little.
 The total cost of New York city s completed Catskill water supply sys- tenn will be 100000. Statistics prepared by the board of water sup ply show that the average cost to each person in the city for aity water Is three-quarters of 1 cent a day. This includes all expenses and costs of every kind and also in- cludes the cost of all water used for street washing, extinguishing of fires, park fountains and for other public purposes.

NATIONS LISTEN GALLERY
Washington Would Hear The Mur-
 murings Of The People

murfngs Of The People
 Washington has been called the na- tlonal listening gallery. The heart of the American people Is supposed to thrqb somewhere off in the vague dlstance-in the country town, per haps where the Anti-Saloon league flourishes. in the region of smoking chinNeys where labor foregathers, or in the broad prairie where are the farmers granges. It's precise loca- there Is no doubt about the capltai Its function is chiefly auricular. It Is portrayed in the habitual attitude of clpping it's hand to It's ear ro catch the confused murmurings or the vociferous outcries blown in upon it from the world without.
 There has, possibly, always been some Justification for the picture. The idea was painted in the first amendment to the constitution which safeguards the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to pe- tition the government for redress of grievances" But 1t is to be doubted sowed the seed had any notion of the harvest of dscord their success sors would reap.
 The deliberative quiet which the constitutional elders seem to have conceived as the proper setting for government has been broken in upon by the legislative agent, the propa- gandist, and the herald of reform. They no longer thu nder in solo. like Swift, nor are they obliged to carry on their activities furtively, like their lobbyist predecessors, or in shadows of an enforced retirement far from the gaze of the public and eye of the constible,. like Martin Marprelate.' The essence of their eX- istence is publicity. They are, or profess to be, the mouthpiece of un- numbered thousands or millions whom the genius of the printing press and the modern gregarious in stinct have brought together into an agglomerate whole.-Elmer Murphy, in the Bookman.

SENTIMENT IS STRONG FOR CONTINUING TAX.
Speakers Have Been Covering County In Interest Of Measure

Sentiment all over Jefferson coun- ty is strong for continuation of the three mill school tax, which will be voted on next Tuesday, and there fs every indication that it will carry by a large majority, according to pr. N. R. Baker, uperintendent of schools, and Assistant Superintend- ent P. B. Erwin, who have just com pleted a visit to various schools in the interest of the tax.
 Meetings were held in several ru- ral schools Friday night, at which prominent educators spoke. Dr. Ba- ker, C. E. Harrison, member of the board of education, and l.. K.

Weston advocated the continuation of the tax in speech at McElwaine Judge Douglas Allen and J. w. Ellen burg, district supervisor, addressed a large audience at Edgewood. and Chief Clerk R. G. Hewett and Dr. Cunningham Wilson spoke at Huff man.

'CO-zIP' CHOSEN AS MOTOR FUEL NAME
Approximately 15,000 Took Part In Contest To Select
 Suitable Name

'Go-Zip" was selected Saturday as the winning name in the General Oil company's new motor fuel con- test. in which some 15.000 contest ants competed and submitted 74,S65 names.
 Eight contestants offered "Go-Zipr as the winning name. These were: w. o. Wilkerson, 401 Woodward building; Frank M. Jones, 1915 Twelfth avenue, south; W. c. Lloyd, Postal Teleg ghaph company; J. w. Bryan, 1542 Brown-Marx building; William Webb. 1421 Fourteenth First avenue; E. J. Tindall, 219 Haw- kins street south, and Miss Eva Booker, TIP Twenty first street, north.
 These eight contestants who sug-- gested "Go-Zip" are asked to meet in the office of the Sparrow Adver-. Using Agency, 40 American Trust building, at 12 o'clock Monday and decide what division of the pr4ze money shall be made.
 The committee on awards Is hfgh- ly pleased with the selection. It IS pointed out that the first two letters -vG. O.-are he initials of the first two names of the General oil com pany, and that the name itself IS suggestive of speed, is easily pro nounced and readily adapts ltselr to advertising purposes.
 Practically very town in Alabama and score of cities outside of the state were represented In the llst or contestants Many letters came from New York and Chicago, and from cities in the east and middle west Announcing the winner Sat urday, J. Gregory Johnston. presl- dent of the General Oil company said:
 So many really excellent names were suggested that We found 1t very difficult to choose the winner. By a careful process of elimination we finally narrowed the list of eligibles to q scant dozen Then the task was easier. The final vote upon the name 'Go-zip' was unanimous. We take this opportunity to thank our friends for their interest and to eX- tend our congratulations to the wih-

 T have no trouble sleeping after a few hours on the fast planes." said Lieutenant Williams. "Nor is my di . gestive apparatus affected. An hour flying at 250 miles an hour Is not so tiresome as five hours spent in a slow machine. There is no reason why we should not be trained to go as fast as our machines can fly. Take, for example, a man falling. He retains all his faculties and if he is in constant training he can actually exercise control over his muscles. That Is to say. his brain functions. l am sure that we can handle any thing that can be controlled, up to 300 miles an hour or even better, without undergoing any hardships to speak of"
 Veteran pilots agree that flying is a progressive art. They are of one mind now that future peoples will look back at our generation and laugh at us for feeling astonish ed that we have been able to make a mere 300 miles an hour. Airplanes will not be the machines of today, but much less complicated. The av~ craze pilot places great store in the radio and believes 1t will one day revolutionize the science of flight. Engines other than tlfe internal com bustion motor may contribute to this radical advance, and quickly, they say. Meanwhile. the Williamses and the Browns are the best proof that thus far we have not reached a limit in our powers of endurance.
 Engineers and scientists say that with present methods of. combustion it may be possible to approach the 400 0-milean- hour mark; after that there may be developments which. they think. may increase the rate of speed to 1000 miles an hour.
