Magdalena, Buy, A p r il 7.— (V ia Han D iego)— The work of preparing for the C aliforn ia reception, now but ten day* distant, is already in progress among the battleships of the Atlan tic fleet. E very ship not engaged in coaling or working on the torpedo range is udergo- ing a thorough scrubbing, scraping and painting from the water line to the maetheads. E very inch o f the surface o f the ships w ill be gone over and cleaned and polished. Divers have been sent over the side of each ehip and have made thorough inspections of the bottoms. Many of the vessels are nearly as clean as a hen they left Hampton Roads, according to the reports of the divers. The long tim e spent at anchor­ age in the bay has done more to foul the bottoms than the trip around the H orn. The work of coaling for the final leg o f the long voyage is being pushed with a ll speed. Last n igh t the crew of the M aine worked all night taking coal from a c ollier alongside and stowing it away in the bunkers. A d m ira l Thomas has issued a tenta­ tive program for the fleet for the dates A p ril 11 to A p ril 19, which includes the departure of the fleet from Magda­ lena at same hour not yet fixed on A p ril 11 and its a rriva l at Ban Diego at 1 p. m. A p ril 14. The program quotes from the official program of the reception com m ittee in San Diego, g iv ­ ing the details for the four days the ship« w ill be in port there. A d m iral Thomas has also issued a lengthy detailed order, on the form a­ tion of a brigade of Bailors and marines, for parade duty in San Diego, San Francirco and other cities, it provides for the formation of a fleet naval b rig­ ade o f more than 5,000 men. The total is made of 64 com paniescf bluejackets, four from each ship, and 16 companies uf marines or one from each ehip.

These inquiries are usually answered by the station chem ist. Below is given a t y p i­ cal letter o f Inquiry on this subject, and follow in g it is the reply given by the station chemist. W eiaer, Ida., Feb. 26, 1908. I would like to know the ingredient and proceea of making Portland cement. Ie the body of clay or soapetone? I think I have the raw m ateria). Please anawer and oblige.— A . W. A great deal of tim e and labor have been spent by various chemists In in­ vestigating the composition and prop­ erties of Portland cement. The con­ clusions drawn from these investiga­ tions are not alw ay concordant, but no one dissents from the view th at the essential ingredients of this kind of ce­ ment are lim e, eilica and alnmlna. Other elements are alw ays present, however, among them being magnesia, soda, potash, iron, phosphorus, man­ ganese, titanium , etc. According to Meade, good cements vary considerably in com position, but the three im port­ ant ingredienst w ill run about as fo l­ lows: L im e, 58 to 67 per cent; silica, 19 to 25 per cen t; alumina, 5 to 10 per cen t; and magnesia is allow able to the exten t of 3 to 5 per cent. The raw materials from which P ort­ land cement is manufactured are classi­ fied aa argillaceous and calcareous. Some common forms of the first are clay, shale, and slate, and o f the latter limestone, marl and chalk. In these tw o classes of raw materials are found a ll the ingredients necessary in the manufacture of Portland cement. In the iron regions o f Pennsylvania, how­ ever, blast furnace slag ie made to re­ place the clay or shale. From what­ ever source the raw materials are o b ­ tained, the cem ent manufacturer must see that they are so m ixed that the product of calcination contains the im ­ portant compounds mentioned above in the proportions that experience has taught are the ones necessary in a good cement. It becomes alm ost im perative then that tbe chemical composition of the raw m aterials should be known. Althou gh the w riter is not personally acquainted w ith the limestone regions c f this state, it appears that there are at leaat tw o localities in Northern Ida­ ho w here limestone is found in abund­ ance, and since clay is also present, at least in spots, in the same distriot, there seems to be goo£ reason for be­ lievin g that in the future a great deal of the Portland cement used in this state w ill be made at home.
