WASHINGTON, June 27. (Bpeclal Corre
spondence.) Akin to the patriotism which
prompts young mrn to enter the army Is
the grandeur of purpose which leads them
to enttr the navy of their country. Among
tho hundreds who wear the "blue" of the
United States nnv Iowa has to Its credit
a full quota. From the first In rank among
the "rear admirals" to the sophomore at
'lc Naval acad my at Annapolis Iowans
..re to he found enrolled, filling almost
every station known to the roster of our
"navy."
It 1s prohah! it fact that without giving
th subject matter that full consideration
which It deserves, we almost Imperceptibly
find ourselves Riving to the army the
greater praise of th" two branches of our
protective systems as u country. It Is not
our Intention to detract tn one lota from
that glory which does and should be
awarded to "boys l.i blue" In the refrular
army, but when the two classes of service
are carefully aitlvzed It Is clearly to be
n that the "sailor boys" have two ele
fnts of danger to contend with the shot
bnd shell of the enemy and the elements
enraged. When an army Is routed and de
feated they may escape annihilation by
getting far away from their purs'iers; whn
a ship at sea Is blown up or destroyed there
y no retreat. It Is win or die. It was that
iSiture of the brilliant work of Admiral
Dewey which mnde him "admiral" of our
navy. He had to win his fight or go to the
bottom of the sea. Victory was his and a
grateful country will never forget the cour
age and skill of that great hero which won
the battle In Manila bay In 1898.

LIVE STUCK AT T1IE FAIR
Plan Laid for an Ixtneme and Varied
Exhibition.
TWENTY-SIX THOUSANi) PRIZES OFFERED
Chief of Department t'oburn Ulves
Out Some Information as to
His Arrangement for
Next Yeaur.
F. D. Coburn. chief of the department of
live stock of the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition, has arranged for a total of over 26,
000 prles in the classifications for hore,
cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, ete, for the
World' fair show next year. These are
unprecedented In amount and are divided
among twelve breeds of beef and dual pur
pose cattle, with 2,352 prises; four breeds of
dairy cattle, 560 prizes; nineteen breeds of
horses, J,4fi8 prises; eleven breeds of swine.
2,772 prlies; fourteen breeds of sheep, 2.648
prizes; 375 varieties of poultry and pigeons,
10.300 prises; fifty-seven breeds of dog, 2,604
prises. There are thirty-two additional
prises for single cows and herds entered
In the dairy demonstration; five for oxen;
fifty-five for mules and 1,310 for the esti
mated display of pet stock, vehicles, etc.
Provision haa been made for five cash
prizes and two honorable mention award
In most sections except poultry. The final
arrangements of the classification may tlll
further enlarge the number of prize of
fered. Dignity of the Department.
Vp to the present time that feature of
tho World' fair at St. Loul pertaining; to
live stock ha been designated a a "sec
tion," a title which erroneously seemed to
indicate that It was a branch or subordi
nate feature of some other department.
Thl has now been changed by the man
agement and Mr. Coburn will hereafter be
officially known a the chief of the "depart
ment of live stock." The exposition ha
added much to Its popularity in making
live stock an independent department and
giving it a separate chief, with a prize fund
of $260,000. This substantial recognition will
do much to attract attention to the great
St. Loul enterprise and secure the hearty
co-operation of stockmen, fanciers and oth
ers Interested. This Is the first world s
fair to give live stock the prestige and
rank of a department with an In
dependent chief, and the great extent
and high character of the live stock ex
hibit already assured the World' fair
confirm the wisdom of this liberal policy.
The general desire of the live tock breed
ers to have public sales made a feature of
the llva stock ahows at the World's fair ha
met with hearty approval by Chief Coburn,
and the leading national breeder' associa
tions have already filed request for date
and have commenced preparation for hold
ing uch sale. A representative of a num
ber of leading poultry fanciers ha applied
for date for public sales during the poul
try display.
Public Sale Feature.
Tha Louisiana Purchase exposition will
be the first world's fair to provide for the
holding of public sales of pure bred stock,
which are assured of crowds of apprecia
tive buyers and good prices. Complete
plans have been made for a ring for public
sales apart from the main live stock amphi
theater, so that sales may b9 held without
interfering with the Judging or other
feature of the. exhibition. Public aalea
of prlxe winners and other choicely bred
animals have come to be a very attractive
feature of fat stock shows and the leading
state fairs, but no opportunity for this
popular method of selling stock " to the
highest bidder has ever been offered at a
world' fair. The sales wlll .be under the'
auspices of the breeders' associations inter
ested and within the period In which the
breed will be on exhibition. The following
associations have already asked for assign
ments of sale dates: ,
Cattle American Shorthorn Breeders' as
sociation, American Hereford Breeder'
association, American Aberdeen-Angus
Breeders' association, American Oalloway
Breeders' association.
Horses American Percherot Hor Brood
ers' and Importers' association.
Swine American Poland-China Record
company. National Duroc-Jersey Swine
Breeders' association, American Berkshire
association.
An entirely new departure, decided upon
as a leading feature of the live stock
awards at the Louisiana Purchase exposi
tion, ls the premier or sweepstakes cham
pionship for each breed. These are In
tended as grand prizes to recognise both
the skill of the breeder and the enterprise
of the exhibitor. It Is proposed to give a
premier championship award to the breeder
making the best showing in each class, the
showing to be determined by the largest
aggregate amount awarded to animal bred
by the breeders represented In that class.
The premier award to the exhibitor tn each
class will be made on the same basis.
The large amount to be offered for prizes
and the consequent breadth of the cl isd-
flcations and the world-wide character of
the show will make the premier champion
ships at St. Louis an exceptional honor.
certain to "be strongly competed for and
highly appreciated by the exhibitors a
well as breeders of th prize animals.
Interest of Breeders.
Warner M. Van Norden, a prominent
stock raiser and financier of New York,
ha written to Chief of Live Stock Coburn
that he will probably make a large entry
from hla herd of Highland cattle at the
World fair next year. Mr. Van Norden'
cattle are now at hi place at Rye, N. Y.
With the exception of one teer shown at
Chicago, Highland cattle have not been on
public exhibition In America and the flrt
display of any size of this attractive breed
ls promised foe the World fair at St.
Louis. Mr. Van Norden' herd is headed
by a bull which twice has won first prise
at the Highland and Agricultural society
show In Scotland.
Live stock exhibitor In each breed class
at the World' fair will receive a senior
champion prize and a Junior champion prize
for males and females, and a reserve cham
pion award will follow In the four classes.
Competition for the senior championship
will be limited to mature animals, and
young male and female only will compete
for the Junior champion prizes. Prospec
tive exhibitor express themselves as highly
pleased with th plan of Chief Coburn of
providing for a more equitable method of
awarding championship prise and thus In
creasing the number of honor.
W. M. Springer, president and C. E.
Btubb. secretary, of the Oldenburg Coach
Horse Society of America, have Balled tor
Germany to Increase th Interest among
breeder of Oldenburg Coach horses In
making a representative exhibit at the
World' fair. Mr. Springer, who bears a
special commission for the purpose from
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition com
pany, will spend considerable time In call
ing the attention of German breeder and
exporter of horses to the many advantage
of large exhibit at St. Lout next year.

In the Country
What Is believed to be the fastest time
ever made on an electrlo railway In this
country was made on the Union Traction
line between Muncle and Indianapolis one
day last week. Fifty-six and one-half miles
were covered In eighty-six minutes. Slow
time was necessary In getting Into and out
of cities along the way. several curve re
quired slackening of speed of the car and
stops were necessary at railway crossings.
Recording Instruments proved that through
out the trip an average of forty-two miles
an hour wh maintained. On two long
stretches of straight track a speed of sixty
five miles nn hour was atttalned. and It
was possible to Increase It to seventy mile
if desired.
The car behaved nicely. It was driven
by four 110-horse-power motors, a total of
440-rmrse-power to the car, with a voltage
ranging between 6"0 and 610. The result of
the speed test will be observed In arranging
new time schedules for regular electric cars
that will be speeded up to about thlrty-flve
miles an hour for long runs, nnd it is prob
able that all of the cars will be equipped
wtth motors ranging from 250 to 400 horse
power.
.w Power Plant. '
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit company
is planning to erect the largest street rail
way power house In the world on Its Green
and Beech street properties on the Dela
ware river. A contract has Just been
awarded to the Westlnghouse Machine
company of New Tork. which Is the largest
ever given for electrical machinery. Among
the appliances to be furnished are the most
powerful steam turbines ever constructed.
It Is said the Improvement will cost about
11,500.000.
It Is Intended to generate at this station
at the foot of Green street all the power
needed for the Market street subway and
elevated, and also for most of the surface
lines In the city. The surface lines at the
present time get their current from several
different power houses situated at various
point In the city.
The most Interesting feature of the equip
ment to be Installed Is that steam turbine
are to be used exclusively for power gen
eration in the new central station now un
der construction. There will be three tur
bines, each of 6.000 kilowatt normal ca
pacity, which will be of the type now being
Dunt uy the Westlnghouse Machine com
pany for large powers. The turbines will
be directly connected with Westlnghouse
three-phase, twenty-flve-cycle generators,
and the units will run at 750 revolutions per
minute, with 175 pounds of steam, 27H
Inches vacuum and possibly 150 degree
superheat
Harnessing: Water Power.
Few realize the extent and Importance
of tho plans of the Western Power com
pany on the north fork of the Feather
river, says a California exchange. It Is
known that this company ha purchased
many acres of land in Big Meadows. They
will also erect a dam near the soda spring
at the lower meadow. These two dams
will restrain 'the water from flowing out
of the meadows and form a very extensive
reservoir or lake. To save the land about
Bunnells and Prattvllle from being over
flowed, a dam will be built across the
meadows near the home of Mr. Self, be
tween Prattvllle and Meadow View. As the
pressure on this dam will be light, tho
dam will be built of earth alone.
The tunnel to take the waters from
the meadows will be about three-fourths
of a mile west of Prattvllle. The tunnel
will be a mile and three-quarters long and
will carry the water under the mountain
to Butt valley. At the lower end of Butt
valley a very high stone dam will be con
structed, which will restrain all the waters
of Butt creek and that flowing from the
meadows. This dam will be 100 feet In
height. The flow will be controlled by
headgates at the tunnel coming from the
meadows.
The dam near tha Soda spring will be
fifty-six feet in height and will be a solid
atone and cement dam arranged for an
overflow In case the water are too high to
be stored or carried through the tunnel.
The distance from the power house to
San Francisco will be In round numbers
190 miles, and as the Bay Counties Power
company Is now transmitting power con
siderably further than this there will be no
long distance problems to solve.
From the dam at the lower end of Butt
valley down to the North Fork the com
pany will obtain a fall of 1,600 feet. This,
In round numbers, ought to generate two
and a half-horse power for each miner's
Inch of water. The company has figured
on obtaining 300,000-horse power.
The lake at the eastern end of the
meadows will cover 1000 acre and the
lake In Butt valley will cover 2,000 acres.
The power house will be situated down
on the North Fork, some miles below the
meadows and where the snowfall Is much
less than' In the valley. The line of poles
will follow the river down and thus be
comparatively free from snow.
Electric Versus Steam Railway.
It will, perhaps, surprise some persons,
says the Baltimore Sun, to learn that elec
tric railways carry eight times a many
passengers as steam railways carry. There
are 87 electric railway companies, against

Transmission of Electrlo Knergry ,
In a recent paper M. Tavernler dlscusse
the transmission of electric power over long
distance and describes the plants now In
operation that fulfill economical conumons.
Theoretically It Is possible to employ con
centric cables insuluted In oil to convel cur
rents under a pressure of 600,000 volts,
or, In other terms, to deliver 100,000 kilowatt
at a distance of 384 kilometres with a losi
of 10 per cent In transmission ; or. again
to tiansmlt currents over aerial wires at
a pressure of 150,000 volts (no more can b
employed on account ot disruptive dis
charge). The higher the pressure the mor
economical the transmission. These limits
have not been reached In practice, though
pressures or 20,000 volts or more are now
frequently employed In Europe and much
more In the l'nited States. Ten years ago
the Tellurlele Power Transmission company
vas sending 500 kilowatts to a distance ol
56 kilometres under a pressure of 40,001
volts, and since 1S97 this example has been
frequently followed. The Chambly Com
pany of Quebec transmits ?0.000 horse-powet
to Montreal (40 Kilometres) under 2S,0Oi
volts, and there are many Instances of th
seirt. The Niagara Power companies will
transmit, when their plants are completed,
a horse-powe-r of 200,000 by 40 turbines, each
of 5.200 horse-power. Much of this power
ls to he utilized on the snot, but much ol
It Is to be transmitted to Tonawanda, Lock
port and Buffalo say 40 kilometres undet
22.000 volts; while Toronto 180 kilometres
distant is to be supplied by a current under
a pressure of 60.000 volt. The latter pres
sure is consldcreel to be perfectly prac
ticably and practical In electric power
plants.
Electricity in the South.
The recent development In the commer
cial possibilities of the electrical transmis
sion of water have rendered available a
great many water power which, though
at all times technically available, hav
not until now been utilized.
Particularly ha such been the case with
the streams cf the Southern Appalachian
region, which on account of topographs
and climatic conditions possess great fall
and a remarkably large and constant flow
and on which, as a rule, the conditions are
such as to render hydraulic developments
comparatively cheap, thu affording poten
tial water power of great value to the In
dustrial life of the country. On account of
the Inaccessibility of the country, In which
thoy are located, these water power have
In the past been practlcolly without value,
but advances In electrical science have ren
dered their development and use at com
not far distant time not only a commercial
possibility, but a practical certainty.
Therefore, the division of hydrography
of the United States geological survey haa
recently begun comprehensive Investiga
tion of the water-power, possibilities of these
streams, for the purpose ot determining
the available fall at any prtibable power
site, the volume of water available at each
site, and such other general Information
as to practicable development conditions
r.nd methods ns the engineers In charge ot
the work may be able to collect. Thl In
formation will be of great value to en
gineer and Intending user of water power,
by locating the localities apt to repay more
detatled Investigation on their part.
Foundation Threatened.
"The skyscrapers In New York have a
new peril to contend with," declared an
official of the building department recently.
"When the new underground railroad sys
tem for the metropolis was proposed there
was much conjecture as to whether or not
the foundations of the big buildings slong
the various routes would be affected by
the excavation and the subsequent vibra
tion of the trains. It wa soon pointed out,
however, that with the employment of mod
ern principles of construction there was
little to fear on such a score.
"But now an unlooked tor oondltion has
arisen. In building the foundations for the
skyscrapers piles are driven deep Into the
ground until they are well under water.
Then concrete is placed on top of the piles
to form a base for the granite block on
which the steel pillar will rest. It has
been found In several Instances that tha
opening of the underground tunnel has re
sulted In the draining of the water from a
number of these pile foundations, thus
threatening their destruction. So long as
the pile remIn covered with water they
will be preserved for an unlimited time.
The problem now before the owners of the
big buildings is to find a way to keep tho
piling wet. It is probable some system of
pumping water Into the foundation will
be adopted, as there, is little rrospect of
the tunnel drain being stopped. The prob
lems of the modem city are many and
varied. Washington Star.
