The speed Of Modern Steamship.

Thirty years ago sixteen days was fair
allowance for the passage between England
and New York by steam. BY gradual steps
the point was reached when eleven days
was the minimum, and this startled the
world. Then began a rivalry between the
Inrnan and White Star lines, attended BY q
succession Of runs, show a gradual increase
of speed which proved great advertise
ment for these lines. In 1911 the average
tine Of twenty-four crack voyages BY these
lines was eight DAYS, fifteen hours and three
minutes. The Adriatic's best west
ward time was forty-three minutes

A good deal has been written about the
origin of the Washington family in En-

more than forty years ago, that the Wash
iurton family came from Northampshire,
England. The county lies between the
birthplace Of Shakespeare in Wfrwick and
that Of Cromwell, which is in Huntington
and Northampton, which is about sixty
miles north Of London. The tradition IN

THE SUN IN BLUE,
Such Is tho Discovery Of Prof. 8. p. Langl,

Such Is the Discovery of Prof. s. p Langley.
When Prof S. p. Langley, the astrono
mer in charge of the Allegheny Observatory,
announced to the scientific world, few
months ago, the curious results Of his in
vcstigations mode last fall from the summit
of Mount Whitney, viz: that the light
which comes to us from the sun owes its
pure white character to peculiar selective
absorption of the earth's atmosphere, and
that, if 1t were possible to view the orb from
sufficient elevation to escape this inter-
ference, the sun would appear blue instead
of white; that, in point of fact, some por-
tons of its rays are robbed by the upper
air. 1t is not surprising that such strange
statements were received at first with
some degree of incredulity in spite of the
astronomers well.earned reputation for &C.
curacy and caution in all of his previous
observations. When, however, the meth
DDS by which these results were obtained
became known, this incredulity gave way
to admiration of the delicate methods which
were employed and the ingenious apparatus
which was devised for the purpose; and it
has now resulted in an invitation for the
professor TO visit England as the guest of
the Royal society in order that the
sayants there may have the opportunity of
discussing with him the important prob
lens which are thus preached for the first
time. This is an honor rarely paid to
Americans and one of which Pennsylvania
should feel especially proud.
An hour or two spent with Professor
Langley, a few weeks ago, at the little OBJ
servatory nestled among the apple trees
on the summit of q hill, not far from ALE
gheny City, enables us to describe
in a general way, and, avoiding
technical language, the admirable APP
paratus known as the "Bolometer," by
which these and other yet unpublished dis
coveries have been made, The Bolometer
is in reality n thermometer, but so sensi-
tive is it that it is claimed to really indi-
cate changes of temperature of less than
one tifty-thousandth of one degree Fahren-
heit, and even measure these extremely
minute amounts of heat'and compare their
differences with each other, though the
whole quantity involved would produce no
change whatever in the most sensitive
thermometer" The principle upon which
this instrument depends for its action is
not very difficult to understand, yet its
practical construction involved the solu-
ton of many mechanical difficulties and
the expenditure of months of patient labor,
as we'll as the experience only gained by
several disheartening failures.
1t has long been known that the electrical
conductivity of copper or other metal is
greatly affected by even very slight changes
of temperature. On this fact was based the
invention of the Bolometer, by means Of
which the discoveries have very recently
been made which are not only interesting
to the student, but suggestive of considera-
BILE practical value in the near future

light, the use of which it was hoped would
materially reduce the danger Of fires in the

the wires became red-hot, and their gutta-
percha covering being quickly destroyed,
the adjacent infiammable material began
TO smolder, and the services Of the tiremen
