Th company which furnished the $20,000 we are expending here is ready to put up $5,000,000 for the San Francisco' plant, and the money will come back in a year. Why, the fuel used in San Francisco in one year costs $6,000,000. We can supply all the power and heat that is now used and at a small cost.

The 'dangerous condition of this vicinity has Jmgge8ted the advisability of removing .the few inhabitants and blowing up the island altogether. Maintaining I lighthouses is an extremely expensive affair. One built in 1873 cost forty thou- 'sacd dollars, and was swept away with in ten years. Since 1882 the lighthouse iaa been moved three miles inland from Its original location. The island has little, if any value, and is a constant menace to navigation. nu-jmero- KING IS AT WAR of Claus home Spreckles, the sugar king of this tinent. The con- old man, who landed in New York more than half a century with wooden shoes on his feet and $3 in his pocket and conquered untold difficulties in building up the immense fortune that he is now master of, has at last met his match in his two sons, and they are giving him no mercy. The two sons are Adolph and Rudolph Spreckles. Tbere is another son, John D., who is generally spoken of as the good son. He stands by his father through thick and thin", and being gifted with strong commercial intelligence is a valuable aid to the old man. For it is a financial war that is disturbing the peace of the family, and just now the two sons are on top and have so entrenched themselves in their position that the father with all his millions is unable to make them feel the smart of his displeasure. The trouble dates back to Jan. 2, 1894, ago A Submarine Torpedo Boat. Prof. Louis Gathman, the scientist, has perfected a torpedo which, he says, will revolutionize modern war fare and do about everything but climb. a tree. His torpedo, in external appearance, greatly resembles those in use by the nations today, but the Internal arrangements are radically dif ferent. Gun cotton or dynamite mar be used in the explosion chamber at the forward end, and a slight pressure upon a pin projecting from the point of the torpedo makes the discharge. The rear end is filled with a chemical, the nature of which Prof. Gathman will not divulge, which will propel the pro jectile through the water as a skyrocket through the air. This torped has been found available at a distance of two miles, and will travel In an absolute straight line unless diverted by currents, while those in use today Utilise the Ocean's Waves. Out at the end of the long wharf at Capitola, Cal., a mild mannered Ger- - iaan is at work, trying to perfect an Invention, which, if successful, will revolutionize the motive power of the porld; that Is, it will introduce to all I parts of the country bordering on a ; iea coast a cheap and powerful motive j which can turn the wheels of factories and generate electricity which rill furnLsh light and heat. This is the German inventor's dream, and he l&a so far, succeeded in convincing cap ital of the feasibility of his project to harness the waves that he secured $20,-30- 0 from San Francisco parties with which to construct the plant, which is power, now beirig put into end of the wharf far operation at the out into the Mon terey bay. apparently a very limDle contrivance. There are two wave motors, each having three pad dles. Mr. Gerlach explained that In his experiment near Los Angeles he used a paddle wheel, but he found that only three of the paddles touched the ater, so he now uses only that num in ber. The two motors are dropped the water, and the waves move them back and forth. To each motor is attached a cable connecting with the flywheel, and thi3 wheel goes in onedirection, no matter which way the mo tors hanging in the water are, moved by the action of the waves. At least that is the result which is confidently expected by the inventor, who asserts that failure is next to Impossible that u long a3 the waves come and go the The wave motor is E2- - j ace.

Something over a million was the price fixed, and a certain sum was paid down on the spot, leaving $700,000 to be paid in two years. Some time prior to the purchase old Claus gave $600,000 to each of the boys. How he regrets it, for they use it as ammunition against the coffers of Spreckles senior.

He leased this barren waste from Kalakaua for, a song and went to work. There was plenty of water in the mountains twenty miles away. He dug a canal fourteen feet wide and three feet deep, built aque-dut- s, blasted thirty tunnels through solid rock and got water to his desert at a cost of something like $500,000. He founded a town, calling it Spreckles-vill- e. He macadamized the streets thereof, planted shade trees built a church and established a club for the entertainment of his army of employes. He extended his main canal until it penetrated every part of his barren estate. He caused five immense reservoirs to be constructed high up in the mountains so that he could have a perpetual water supply. Meanwhile the cane he had planted had been growing, and a mill that soon produced 100 tons of sugar per day was being built under his personal supervision. Spreckles became the bosom frjend of the old king, Kalakaua, and the latter made him a knight commander in the king's order. He loaned the king big sums at fat interest and lorded it over the courtofficials with a high hand. He was diplomatic, too, and made the portly queen numerous presents of American finery, and in a short time became the most powerful white man on the Islands. When the eastern sugar magnates tried to down him they met a tough customer. He was not content to stand on the defensive, but at once as sumed the aggressive, and coming east established a big refinery in Philadelphia and soon got agood share of the business In the east He has large beet plantations in Southern California and a big refinery to convert the product Into sugar.

Frorq Uteili have given them $2,000,000 apiece, instead of $600,000, but for the sake of harmony he sold them the interest in his Hawaiian company. This did not have the desired effect, for shortly after the transfer the two boys packed up their trunks and quit the family home. Since then the people of San Francisco have been mightily interested in the war. Although now an old man in years, Claus is as active as ever, and a stiff fighter. It was generally supposed that he would make short work of the two boys, but after two years they are still holding their own. More than that, after a carefully prepared plan on the part of the old man to bring them to terms, they beat him at his own game, and row he doesn't know where to begin at them again. The plan was this: The last payment of $350,000 was due on Jan. 2 last, and when Claus heard that the boys were hard up for ready cash, he saw all the moDey lenders in San Franclco and arranged with them not to matce any loan to the boys. Then he waited for his Victory. On Jan. 2 he sent a messenger to the boys for the $350,000, expecting as an answer a plea for compromise. Then he thought he could make his own terms and resume his former position as undisputed boss of the family. But the messenger returned with a certified - ' Fad Missouri can estimate what that accomplish, for it will go on for- of pure metals and alloys, and the ever. the melting point of metal the "The immediate use we will put this higher to be.

By an ingenious arrangement connected with the telescope, torpedoes can be accurately directed toward any point.

It Is tended that the boat shall be submerged up to the turrets at all times, but by the movement of a single lever all external openings, are closed and the boat can sink below the surface. Two fans on each side similar to the rudders facilitate this. Prof. Gathman estimates that it will be possible to go at least two miles under the surface of the water before a new supply of air is necessary, and the telescop arrangement can be shot upward for steering purposes.
