OUR OLDEST PENSIONERS.
(Chicago Record Herald )
Mrs. Nancy Jones. who died at
Jonesboro. Tenn. Tuesday night was
one of four widows of Revolutionary
soldiers whose names and ages appear
ed on the pension rolls as follows. June
30,1901: Esther 8. Damon. 87; Nancy
Jones. 87; Rebecca Mayo, 88; Mary
Snead, 84.
The oldest pensioner then living was
Hiram Cronk. of Ave. N. Y., a soldier
of the war of 1812 whose age was 101
of that war. but one Revolutionary sol
dier, Daniel Brakeman lifed to 109
years old.
if Mary Snead , now 85, should cou-
tluue in this life as long as the yen
erablc Daniel her death would not cc-
cm before 1026. which would be 1-13
years after the close of the Revolution.
Figuring in the same way, a widow of
a ‘soldier of the Civil war might be
living as late at 2008 and a widow of‘a
soldier of the Philippines war as late
as 2045. .
Such speculations admit of various
combinations. which challenge one's in.
genuity. but make light of prdbabilin
ties. Mrs. Jones, it appears, was only
10 when she married her Revolutionary
soldier, and he was 68. The bride was
such a very young one that the limit
of probabilities was about readied In
her case. and few girls of 16 won 'd be
apt to marry vctcrdns “ho were much
beyond 68. If however one such had
married Daniel Brakcmnu in 18114, she
would be only 40 now, and if she were
to live till she was as old at Mrs. Jones
we should have the widow of a Revo-
lutionary soldier with us,in 1941pr
vided we had not preceded hcr‘lnto the
unknown.
In spite of the possibilities, however,
the pensioners of the older wars are so
few that their pensions are of small ac-
count in a country of such vast wealth
as oursi‘ Aside from the four widows.

tionary soldiers on the rolls. last year.

OIL WORKS WELL IN NAVY.
Used as Fuel It Is Found to be
Practicabic.
WASHINGTON, August 23—Exten~
sive experiments with oil fuel v-_..-_
concluded by the navy department,
with results which go far to demon-
strate the practicability of fuel petro-
leum as a steam producer.
During the .tests it was demonstrat-
ed that the oil heated boiler could be
operated under forced draught. with
out the heat being too great for the
men. By the compressed air spray, the
full heat possibilities of the fuel were
obtained. The oil consumption, yes-
terday. was 32 000 pounds an hour.
which corresponds to a coal consump-
tion of 100 pounds per square foot of
grate in a similar time. That is an ex—
traordinary high figure.
