EVERY STEEL PIECE IS TESTED ShG'iw*r« Say Powerful Apparatus Will Revolutionize 8truotural Work Over Water—Dill Before Congrese to Authorize Building of Still Larger Teat Machine. JkccordiiiK to civil engineers, (be ver "ttlal compression tost machine of 10, 000,000 iKiiHulfl capacity, whk-h Is be ing built by n well known firm in Phil adelphia for the structural material tenting laboratories of the United Statue geologies!I survey, will revolu tionise tlie buihllng of bribes In the United States, making sueh nn oeeur renee as the collapse of the Quebec brltlge with attendant loss of life Im possible. Thltt machine, with a gross weight of more than 200 tons and an extreme height above the foundations of about eighty feet. Is by far the largest test log appliance ever constructed. En gineers seen recently said that the rea son there is always so much uncer tainty about the strength of a great bridge is because no machines have ever been constructed of sufficient power to test tlie great columns of •tee! used In them. It was pointed out that every piece of steel used was subjected to a speci fied test, the engineers knowing the quality of the material used and bas ing their calculations on the strength Pf column or cord thereon. But tho actual strength of tlie ponderous piece of steel was In the last analysis known on paper only, and the statement was repeatedly made that had there been In existence such a machine as that the government is now having con •traced the-weakness of the Quebec bridg# would have been known before It waft too late. TtM^nearest approach to the proposed 90Tei||inent machine is the celebrated ,Ws te^town arsenal machine, Water town,''Pa., designed by A. n. Einery of Stamford, Conn. The enormous cost of such a machine as tlie government has contracted for has until now been the obstacle between the private plants and its construction, and even when the Philadelphia firm was first engaged to construct this machine It was not designed to have it larger than necessary to test the large blocks of •tone being used in government and other buildings throughout the United States. But the supervising architect of the geological survey urged that the ca jMcity of the machine be extended so as to test whole columns of brick, •tone, concrete and even of steel, and accordingly the original clearance be twnt "the heads!' wag increased from at them! Those young men of America! Every limb and muscle pulsing with strength and vigor—the red sap of life bounding through their veins in a flood of surging health and power.

It satisfies the thirst, it brightens the mind, it develops energy and gives vigor to every organ of the body. For ages the tonic -properties of barley and hop beer have been known, and its absolute wholesomeness has jgiven strength to countless generations of the .most victorious nations. -The Most Popular Beer in the World twenty-live to sixty live feet. Now, since the purpose of the government has become known, the department is being flooded with letters urging Its early completion that it may be used not only In the cases of bridges already under construction, but to test built up structures as well. The machine In simplest form to nothing more than o huge hydraulle press with one adjustable head and a weighing system for recording the pressure developed In it by means of a triple plunger pump. Between the base of the machine and the adjustable head when removed to the furthest point Is a distance of slxty-flve feet consequently the machine Is capable of testing the supporting strength of a column more than sixty feet in length. Some idea of the size of the machine may be obtaiued from a statement of the weight of Its principal parts. The castings for the base and the top head weigh approximately 50,000 pounds each. Each main screw will weigh over 40,000 pounds, the lower platform about 25,000 pounds and the main cyl inder 10,000 pounds. The top of the machine will be about seventy feet above the floor, and the concrete foun dation upou which the mnchlne rests will be about eight feet below the floor Hue. So many letters were sent to mem bers of congress and to the department of geological survey congratulating the government on tuking the initiative in the construction of such a mnchlne that Senator Teller has introduced a bill providing for another machine more than twice as large as the Phila delphia ilrtn's apparatus, having 11, OiHJ tons capacity in compression and 5,500 tons in tension, taking columns or cords 100 feet long. Mr. Emery, designer of the Water town machine, is named in the bill as designer and builder, and the price, including the machine and two eighty ton cranes, is fixed at $1,750,000. In addition, $200,000 Is to be appropriated for a building to house the machine. According to the specifications, this machine will be able to give and weigh loads of tension up to 11,000,000 pounds and loads of compression up to 22,000, U00 pounds. The machine is to be pro vided also with tension holders to test round, square and rectangular bars up to 3,300,000 pounds, with lengths up to 100 feet. Tho bill explicitly states that if the compression cords of the Quebec bridge had been tested by such a ma chine their weakness would have been discovered In time to save the struc ture.—New York Times.

CANH0N'S_H0T SHOT, Speaker of the House Ridicules Uplift Movement "PURE ROT," SAYS UNCLE JOE Declares Former President Roose velt's Country Life Commission Is a "Flat Failure"—Has No Patience With Attempt to Relieve Conditions That Are Not Understood. Speaker Joseph Q. Cannon in a i% cent after dinner speech before fhe national city planning conference In Washington dealt some hot shot to one of former President Roosevelt's pet commissions and other curiosities of the uplift movement. The speaker took the following falls out of tlie uplift: "Don't try to relieve conditions that you don't understand." "This country life commission that has been trying to uplift the poor farmer with theories! I'll take oath that they don't know what they are talking about." "What they have compiled Is pure rot. The commission Is a flat failure." "The Idle rich lear about the same relation to the great mass of the American people that the fly on the elephant's trunk bears to the ele phant." "The people who do the most harm are those who give to what they call charity either for notoriety or to bribe God." "It is well enough to plan for the future of this country," said Mr. Can non"this country which is to have 600.000,000 Inhabitants in the years to come. There are a great many things which can be done in planning for those years, but no plans that we lu this generation can map out will be big enough or broad enough to meet the coming needs. "I bid godspeed to this planning thnt you are working for, but for heaven's sake don't follow the exam ple of some and try to relieve condi tions that you don't understand. I have no patience with those theorists who are trying to relieve what they are pleased to call the agricultural section of this country. There are sevorol excellent gentlemen on the country life commission, but what they have complied Is pure rot. If what I have read of It is a fair sample. The country life commission Is a flat fail ure because It has dealt with condi tions that didn't require dealing with by theorist* and because its members don't know what they ar§ talking about. "Olen the sensational newspapers and the. magazines and you will read all about the activities of the Idle rich, their foolishnesses and their fads. They are of no real consequence. They bear ah.,nt the sam.' relation to the Mr. Cannon paid 1 great muss of the American people that the fly on the elephant's trunk bears to the elephant, but they give the excuse for demagogues, who live not by the sweat of their faces, but by the sweat of their tongues, to Inveigh against economic conditions existing In this country. Thnt is why they con-1 stitute a real evil. Once In awhile when other methods of seeking noto riety have failed they declare them selves to be friends of the people and proclaim themselves to be Socialists. "I don't rogret immigration. I would not be here If It wasn't for that. I'd be scattered over the continent of Eu rope. There'd be a little of me in the Low Counties, a mite in France, a por tion in Ireland, some more in England and Scotland. The great bulk of our Immigrants live by the sweat of their faces, and any one who does that Is worthy to be given recognition in this country of onrs." a high tribute of respect and admiration to Mrs. V.

Slinkhovltch of New York, a settle inent worker, whose work centers in a block In a New York city street In which more than 1,000 persons live, Mrs. Slmkhovlteh spoke In a quiet but effective manner of her labors in this congested district, where the work of the settlement worker Is so often bew with trials that demandt forbearance and endless patience. The speaker found every reason to believe that the world is growing bi ter each day and deprecated the exist ence of pessimists whose chief mission Is to flaunt discouragement before the eyes of the public.

McDermott of Naeozarl, who was In Houston, Tex., recently. "As the farm ers and sheepmen have forced the cat tlemen of the great southwest of the United States to move their ranges, they are naturally seeking the must favorable localities, and northern Mex ico seems to appeal more forcibly t" them than any other section. Cattle are being moved rapidly into Mexico from the United States, and the cattle men of Mexico are now paying more attention to their herds than formerly with the result that an excellent qual ity of beef to being built ap in the re public."
