Orlflln, chief of the liurenii of stenm engineering, nccordltiK to n writer In the New York Sun. These. eiiKlnes, which will lie of the electrlc-drlve type, tiru expected to push the JKK)-foot Rhlps through rmiKli sens nt n speed iippronchlnj: ,15 knots; t tut t Is, about four knots better tluiii the latest United Stntes destroyers mid tit the rate of a passenger train running on 11 carefully graded road. When Admiral (irlfllti tells the story one gains from his manner the Impression that nhout all ho hud to do was to speak to Captain Dyson nhout It mid the design of these ?ll,(MM 1.0(H) en gines sprang into existence, hut those who know the admiral have their own opinion nhout that; and It differs somewhat radically from the Im pression. "Yes." said the chief, "at first It was rnthcr iippalllng when we realized the magnitude of Hum engine. The largest In nny of our battleships Klve sn.OOO horse power; those of the l.usltanla were 7().(XM; and It Is said that those which drive tin Kngtlsh Tiger at nhout III) knots are from SO,- 000 to V-UtHM). So one can see that we had to 'make u leap, and at first It seemed like 11 leap In the dark, to provide approximately 200,000 horse. power. Ittit somehow, when we got the conditions right before us, everything seemed to unfold Itself and fall Into the right place and there reallv wits llttlo difficulty. "Wo saw at the outset that It was Impossible to control and apply the power without adopting oil fuel and the electric drive. In the great mercantile ships like the Aipiltmtla mid tho Vaterlnnd we had examples of the 000-foot boats with a speed of 2.1 or 20 knots, but It Is the last few knots which nre so dllllcult to get. Very roughly speaking, the new cruisers steam ing nt 15 knots will consume the equivalent of loO tons of coal a day, and to attain somewhere between JM ami !W knots will hum tip the same Quuutlty In one hour; to put It another way. the coal required to drive one of these cruisers at full speed for a day will drive 11 battleship across tlio Atlantic and back. If full speed can he innh tnliuHl steadily for three days ami seven hours It will take one from New York to Liverpool; but as that would require 12,000 tons of coal It Is certain that such a run will never be attempted on coal fuel. "No one can tell what the chemist-engineer of the future will do; hut until something Is found battle cruisers will have to depend upon oil to convert water Into steam; and without that sub stitute they cannot be driven many consecutive hours nt full speed. It would not he possible to transmit so much power on one shnft or one. screw. Therefore it Is distributed to four shafts, each receiving nhout r0,000 horse power, or dou ble the total power In a superdreadnnught and greater than that of nny but tho largest of tho modern, merchantmen. "If only n low or moderate rate of speed wero required tho old-stylo reciprocating engines would, because moro economical, probably be se lected, but to secure tho high rates turbines will bo adopted. "Tho electric drlvo Is not difficult to compre hend If one will think of tho familiar trolley, sub way or railway car driven by electricity. Tho power Is created by tho operation of steam-driven generators or dynamos. They produce the elec tric current, which Is carried by wire to the many small motors In the cars scattered along the sys tem. Tho motorman or engineer turns on the power and thu motor Is driven ahead; he moves his luvcr and tho power Is shut off; he shoves It farther over nml reverses his motor. For 'ninny Hinull motors say several large ones and you hnvo the plan of the ship's electric drive. The turbines operate tho generators of the current for the inn tors, and tho motors turn each of tho four pro poller shafts of tho ship. and the manufactur ers of tho electric ma c h Iner y. Kveryone knows that Admlrnl Taylor can Juggle with ship models and llnd tho one ho wants ; and It may bo taken for granted that tho experiments made In tho model tanks hnvo produced u hull suit able for tho speed re quired. The questions of armor and armii meat, of tho gun placements, m n g a y.lnes und balauced turrets; tho thousand details for the stores, plumbing, drainage, lighting, fuel tanks and engine space and tho everlasting ques tion of weights, have received the in t careful consideration. Of course, engineers Finding of Rich Deposits of Tungsten Has Aroused Great Excite ment. Mining for tungsten or wolfram has brought prosperity to llollvla. Accord ing to Ml Dlarlo of La l'az, the boom ut tho mining center of Oururo can scarcely bo exaggerated. Dally the miners and workmen Hocked Into tho town from the outly ing districts, carrying the fruit of their labors. Tho camps wero full of nerv ous energy. Individuals pass through tho streets of Oururo with faces burned by the wind and sun. They are tho miners who have come to offer the exporting houses lots of wolfram, varying be tween 100 and l.(HH) pounds. Tho amount of this sale, $200 to $2,000, Is considerable in view of the modest con dition of tho miners, of whom the ma jority lire Indians. Tho proceeds of tho sale are deposited In the banks at sight, and the miner, happy mid con tented with the certltlcato of his capi tal, returns to tho Cordillera to bring down now treasures. In nearly all the mineral districts of tho department of Oururo there are rich deposits of wolfram. .Motor cars huvc been rapidly springing Into popu larity for use In visiting tho mining re gions, and many cars have recently been ordered from tho United States. Tungsten mid tin ores are found nt nltltudes between 111,000 and 10,500 foot above sea level. Men, mules and llamas can cllmp up and down, but tho slopes are too steep for working and handling of ore. Aerial ropeways are used to bring the ore down to a place where water for concentration Is available. By-product Coke Oven. Tho Iron Industry of this country has been adopting the by-product cok ing process at a marvelous nito. There arj practically 110 by-product coke plants In the United States, which do not recover ammonia, tar mid light oil (crude benzol). In the vast majority of the plants also surplus gas Is recovered and util ized either at the plant Itself or by distribution to outside consumers. There lire possibly two or throo very small by-product coke plants at which tar and ammonia aro not recovered for disposal to the outside markets, but these would certainly represent con siderably less than 1 per mit of the total by-product coking capacity of the country that Is not now equipped with benzol recovery plants, und the by-product coking plants now under construction have either contracted for benzol recovery equipment or Indicated a strong probability thnt such provi sion will bo' made. Metallurgical and Chemical Knglueerliig. Simply Beyond Them. "The subjects of royalty are queer. "I low so?" "They don't seem able to take It In when a king acts like un ordinary hu mnn being." "This Is tho simple scheme of propulsion adopted for these new cruisers. It Is known to bo elTectlve, but It Is not as simple in the uppllca Hon as In tho telling. To tho troubles of tho steam engine are now added the dangers of the electric current, and the engineer must have mas tered electricity us well as steam. If the steam from 200,000-hnrso-pnwcr hollers could rend tho ship, tho current It would generate, misapplied, would work untold barm to ship and crew. "One of the disadvantages of 11 single engine or a single turbine Is that It must bo In one large compartment, and If this Is broached from tho outside the How of water tills the entire space, puts all tho machinery within It out of commission and places the ship In great danger. With the electric drive every motor, generator and turbine can bo Isolated, thus adding to tho safety of tho vessel. The electric drive Is not nn experiment. It has been operated on the naval collier Jupiter mid on Its trial trips the perfect success of tills way of gearing down tho power was proved be yond a reasonable doubt. This system Is also be ing Installed In the latest battleships, tho New Mexico, Tennessee and California. "There are several reasons why tho cruisers must he so much longer than the dreadtiaughts approximately half as long again. The most Im portant of these Is to Insure the fineness of lino forward and the long smooth run Indispensable to speed, with sufficient buoyancy to sustain the un avoidably great weights of hull, equipment and engines. Another reason Is to provide space enough for the number of hollers which will suj ply steam to the turbines. The Oklahoma re quires 1-1 water tube hollers to furnish her steam; and on that basis tho new ships will require 84, although It probably will not work out In Just that way. Theso boilers will contain many miles of tubing. "A speclnl problem for the engineer after the design of her hull has been flx-ed, Is to determlno the size of each of the propellers, their position and the pitch of the blades. A factor In solving this Is tho number of revolutions which the en gines will give und the number which will give the best results. Although we have built no ships of this size and design and have no relative data to guldo us, tho solution presents no great diffi culty, as Captain Dyson Is a recognized expert In this lino and will take care of this situation. "The bureau of steam engineering will have to lny miles of wiring for electric ll;lits mid slgr.als In n very limited space, at leant as many as n town of 15.000 Inhabitants would need. For this purpose we will supply sepaao generators; but by way of precaution provision will he made for coupling the lighting system with tho generators which drive the propellers. "It Is needless to say that In working out tho designs there will be constant co-operation be tween this bureau, the naval constructors, iho ordnance department, the builders of tho ships ,'unst know tho shape of the hull bofo e they cm design the engines, but the cons true tors n st know (I... weights and dimensions the enMnts before they can give tho last word In the designs "It seems hard that such enormous sums must bo outlayed for ships which In 20 years will be bcrap without rendering any very good service unless the nntlon should become Involved In war; It Is also unfortunate that a police force of any sort Is necessary and that lire Insurance pre miums must lie mild. The only compelling cause for tho construction of these ships Is that they uro a tvpe which other nations possess, und with out which tho United Stutes will be at a grave disadvantage If opposed to u nation possessing them. "As commerce destroyers It is plain that their speed mid power will enable them to overtake and destroy anything alloat except battleships. The raids made by the German cruisers upon the English coasts show how easily they can blip past a battleship licet; and tho Kmden bus proved what a swift cruiser can do against an enemy's commerce until a swifter and more powerful cruiser puts 1111 end to Its career. If It were not tor the ..uglish cruisers, which would seek and cut them down one by one, the German battle cruisers, In spite of all the battleships of tho Eng lish navy, would go to sea and muke all kinds of trouble for tho ships bearing to tho allies muni tions, food supplies and money paid for the manu factured articles which tho allies In their ships nre sending to tho murkets of the world because they have sea control. "The battle oil' Jutland most certainly has not established anything not already known against the cruiser. No one over had the slightest reason to suppose that one could engage a battleship at any range on equal terms. Tho naval engineers put nil the expensive mid powerful machinery In them; the designers of the hull gave them tho tine lines to keep them at a long rango from tho backbone of the fleet; mid when that speed was used to take them close to the battleships tho In evitable happened. "As a scouting force to locate tho enemy these swift powerful ships break through a screen and accomplish what they wero Intended to do; and there Is 110 doubt that as the swift wing of a tlect they will bo Invaluable In pursuit of an enemy mid In certain other tleet maneuvers. That they cannot be successfully opposed to battleships no more proves that they aro unlit for their strategic functions than the Inability of English battleships to overtnku the German cruiser tleet proves that they are unable to give anil receive blows. "So, because battle cruisers have their own Im portant functions, both In mid out of the fleet, tho United States navy must have them, and the more of them and the sooner the better; for the navy !s the one means of defenso against a mili tary nation."

Mlndnnan has a new volcano, accord ing to the Mindanao Herald. Lieuten ant Donnelly, while on a hike Into the Interior of Lanao province, discovered mi active volcano In the liagayungan range of mountains, which heretofore was not known to exist. Lieutenant Donnelly says of his discovery In the following report: "Juno 5, 1010, the undersigned, In command of a combined detachment of the First Cotabato company, and the First General Service company, on reconnaissance patrol from Kapuad northwest through the I'lagayuuan mountain range, came In sight of an actlvo volcano which from nil Indica tions had recently erupted a discharge of volcanic ush and either smoke or thimo. "From tho fact that foliage In the forest on tho mountain sides three miles to the southeast had been scorched as though by flame, hot smoke or toxic gas, nnd that ground vegetation of scrub grass and weeds bad been partially destroyed, leaving the stalks Intact and the scorched leaves retaining their form, It was thought thnt the eruption had been recent. At all events, so recent that tho wind hnd not blown away nor de stroyed tho fragile remnants of tho burned foliage." mm SANITARIUM SULPH0 SALINE SPRINGS Located on our own premises and used In tho Natural Mineral Water Baths Unsurpassed in tho treatment of RHEUMATISM Heart, Stoimioh, Kidney und Liver Diseases.
