W ashington, June 9.— Sacrificed for the benefit of naval construction, the m onitor Florida, shot tw o weeks ago with the heaviest naval gun, will, on Saturday, Juue 13, be punctured beneath her waterline armor by the most powerful American Whitehead torpedo. T he first dem onstratio n was to test the respective stre n g th of a rm o r plate and explosive shell, also to show the effectiveness of a new design of fight ing mast. T he torpedo is to be sent into the Florida that it may be defi nitely known whether a water-tig ht bulkhead, specially constructed within her, designed with all the m ost m od ern ideas of construction, can be d e pended upon to save a ship from de struction against this dangerous method of attack. Secretary Metcalf has invited Sec retary T aft to witness the test. Railroads in Fear. W ashington, June 5.— Newspaper hammering o f the plan to increase rates has resulted in com pelling the railroads to desist therefrom, appar ently. The announcement was made at the office o f the interstate com merce com mission today that the com m ission had information that new tariffs would be filed July 1 The law com pels that new tariffs shall be filed a month in advance o f the time new rates are to go into effect. June 1 has passed, and no increased tariffs have been filed, indicating that the plan announced after the trunk line meeting at New York, looking to in creased rates beginning July 11. has been abandoned. The shippers’ vie tory in this matter is wholy credited to the newspaper publicity, which has been persistent throughout the country against increases. Emergency May Not Arise. Washintgon, June 6.— Treasury o f ficials declared today, after a study of the new currency law, there is nothing in the measure which says that e’earing house certificates are illegal. They also express the opinion that not a dollar of the authorized emergency currency will ever be issued. Should an emergency arise, they think that clearing house certificates instead of highly taxed emergency currency would be resorted to again. The treasury department is arranging for $500,000,000 in emer gency circulation notes in blank for any bank which ^might apply for them under the regulations. Government Gets Many Cigars. W ashington, June 10.— The in ternal revenue department has planned a series of prosecutions for alleged infractions o f the internal rev enue laws all over the United States. Officers of that department made seizures Thursday at tw o local drug stores on the ground that they were selling cigars in contravention of the internal revenue laws. The tops of boxes to which the m ajority o f the stamps were affixed have been re moved, thereby leaving the packages unprotected by proper stamps. The government contends this is prima facie evidence of the non-payment of the taxes, and cigars not protected by stamps must be declared forfeited to the United States. 3ig Drydock for Bremerton. W ashington, June 5.— Revised spe cifications for the naval drydock to be built at the Bremerton navy yard, on Puget Sound, were com pleted to day by Rear Admiral Holliday, chief o f the navy yards bureau. It is ex pected that the dock will be complet ed 18 months from July 1, when work is expected to be started. Bids for the construction o f the dock have been asked, and it is announced that they will be opened on June 18. The preparations are being carried on with dispatch, and it is not thought that any delay will be permitted The need o f the big navy dock on the Pa cific has been made clear by the visit o f the Atlantic fleet. No Jetties at Tillamook. W ashington, June 11.— It will prob ably be many years before congress authorizes any material improvement of the channel across the bar at the entrance of Tillam ook bay, and quite as many years before any extensive improvement is made in the channel from the bar to Tillam ook City. It is the universal opinion of engineer officers that the com m erce of Tilla m ook bay present and prospective, does not justify the expenditure of any great sum of money. The rail road now building is another draw back to the project. Harps on Same Old String W ashington, June 11.— With news from Chicago all indicating T a ft’s nomination.

June 5 —Jack Frost has damaged thousands o f acres o f p o tatoes on the islands west o f Stock- ton, and consequently the price o f the tubers will be high this season. O nly a few days ago a large acreage was ruined by frost, and the growers were com pelled to replant. The loss is especially heavy because most o f the acreage damaged the first time has hren ruined again, and because the grow ers had to purchase seed and pay for the cost o f replanting Thi total yield will be much reduced.

Painless Cattle Killing. Water Ca.riers Check Railroad*.

June 6.—The movement in augurated by the western railroads some time ago to increase freight rates to per cent in western territory has practically been abandoned by the roads in the western classification, and the transcontinental lines have agreed to a much smaller increase in rates than they at first demanded. Water competition from New York to San Francisco, which has grown very keen o f late, is said to be the main cause back o f the failure to continue the original pro gram of the increase.

When the glass la clear the light paaaea straight through, suffering a definite loss from the carbon film. When the glass la froated the light undergoes many re flections In the Interior of the bulb from the Innumerable facets, and at each reflection It loses something on account of the obstructing film. The consequence la that the total amount of toes la much greater with ground glass than with clear glass.
