SUNKEN SHIPS BEING RAISED War Brlnga Day of Resurrection for Many Vessels for Yeara Listed at Discarded Wreck. Certainly the duy of resurrection has come, for ships. Hulks long since sunk, all but forgotten, rise lu their very bones, take on renewed bodies and with the rhythmic heart-beat of new engines feel the blood coursing In their veins once more, observes the Boston Transcript. Abundoned coal barges, hulls of whale ships, of little cargo carriers that have lain at dis mantled wharves for half a century, struggle from their graves In the ooze, feel again the measured clink of caulk ing iron, lift proud topmasts nnd shout with Joy from the very diaphragms of their swelling sails as the forefoot thrills to the blare of blue water. Wrecks of the ancient side-wheelers rise as well and with a vigor of en- glue life such as did not exist in their day, go down to the sea. The sea shore Is probed for these. aud the very lakes scud their quota. At Ashland, Wis., for Instance, on Lake Superior, the slde-wheeler Emerald, sunk at the slip 24 years ago, is on her way up. The ore-carrier Sevona, which broke in two on a shoal six years since, is to be rulsed and put to gether again. And so the reports come from slip and shoal the world over. If the war, with all Its menace and its heartache, can give up once more a mighty merchant marlue and revive the proud traditions of American sea manship, as it bids fair to, It will have done one great thing for the country. COAL GAS FOR AUTOMOBILES Fuel Costs Only Twelve Cents for Charge Equal in Power to One Gallon of Gasoline. Arthur II. Jackson, an English me chanical engineer, who arrived In New Vork from London on bis way to Hong Kong, suld that the high price of gaso line in England, where It sells at $1.10 a gallon, has caused motor power ex perts to experiment with compressed coal gas for motor trucks and automo bile. The point in its favor is that the gas fuel costs only 12 cents for a charge equal in power to a gullou of gasoline. "The ministry of munitions," Mr. Jackson said, "favors the coal gas fuel, as Its manufacture Increases the output of by-products needed for ex plosives. The Glasgow corporation has ben advised by a special comuils xlon that coal ga is praetlcuble for commercial motor vehicles. Any en gine can be fitted for its use in a few hours without Interfering with the use of gasoline, should auy change be de sired. In closed cars and motor trucks the gas is carried In container on the root's, and In open cars it may be car ried on canopies running the length of the body. Containers uow In use hold only 'j:0vfeet of gas, which Is about equal to a gallon of gasoline, and that Is otie of the objections to Its use." Puts It Up to the Judge. One of the city Judges, who was up for re-election, made a speech in New York, and after he bud touched on patriotism and the various questions of civic virtue aud the keeping of a good man ou the bench, he said at the close of his speech that he was ready to answer any question propounded. At this poiit one of the members of the club arose.
