Business at the banks yesterday, although
barren of new features, was satisfactory to the

light, but other lines were well up. Currency

sufficient supply, and there was no particular
inqliry for either. The weeks exchanges were
over 81 000. 900 in excess of those of the same

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL NOTES
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH,

Information on subjects relating to indus
trial development and progress in mechani-
cal, civil and electrical engineering and the
sciences can have their queries answered
through this column.
News comes from Boston that under the
auspices of the Aerial Exhibition Associa-
tion steel airship is about to be constructed
upon the vacuum principle. The ship is to
be constructed entirely of thin plates of the
greatest possible tensile strength and thor
oughly braced inside by new develop
ment in science mechanics" to resist the
pressure of the atmosphere when a partial
vacuum is obtained. The promoters of the
enterprise expect their machine to lift 200
passengers and 90 tons of mail or other mat
ter, to say nothing of all the machinery and
apparatus, with electrical power sufficient
to give a speed to the ship of at least 20
miles an hour. During the earlier trips no
intermediate or steerage passengers will be
taken. The cost is estimated at $3.50, 900,
and a national su description is to beopened for
the purpose of securing the necessary funds.
Dr. De Bossuet, the inventor, is said to claim
that his plans have had the approval of 'the
most eminent scientific and engineering ex-
perts in the country" There is no doubt that
aerial navigation will sooner or later become an
accomplished fact, but it is very much open to
question whether either the automobile balloon
the vacuum shell will be the full airship
of the future, but rather, SO far as we can
judge at present. seif-sustaining machine. or
a motor driven by electricity derived from the
surface of the earth. 1t seems as if inventors

Enumeration of the Deaf.

Certain suggestions have Just been made by
DR.. A. Graham Bell on the census-taking of
the deaf, which may lead to important results
in the study Of the heredity of this affection,
and to its introduction into certain families
through unfortunate marriages. This is a
point of grave importance, and one upon
which up to this time, no special data have
been obtained in this country. A meeting of
the Executive Committee of the conference of
American instructors of the deaf was held in
Washington in May of this year to consider
the best method of enumeratng the deaf of
the next census and among the recommenda-
tions that were then formulated for presenta-
non to the committee in charge of the mortal
ity and vital statistics of the eleventh Gen.
sus'' was the following: IAN impression is
prevalent that deafness, blindness, idiocy and
insanity are often due to consanguinity in the
parents; and statistics have been collected
which show that considerable percentage of
the deaf, blind, idiotic and insane are the chill
dren OF first cousins. These statistics how
ever can be of little use in determining the
questions involved until we know what per-
centage of the general population are the of
spring of such unions We therefore RECON-
mend that in Section No. of the census the
question be asked, "Were the parents of this
person first cousins?"
Summarized Description of the vesuvius,
The following details of this vessel were
lately given by Captain E L. ZaIinski, United
States Army: She is equipped with three I5-
inch pneumatic dynamite guns, placed at a
fixed angie of lSo, all parallel with the keel
and abreast of each other, pointing forward.
The guns are trained by steering the vessel,
while ranges are altered by varying the air
pressure. As the vessel is provided with twin
screws, the former operation is rapidly per.
formed. Three caliber of shell will be used
S-Inch and l0-inch sub-calibers and l5-inch full
caliber. The ranges will be 2 miles, IL miles
and l.5b0 yards. The rate of fire will Be once
per minute from each gun, or practically three
rounds per minute. Thirty-three rounds can
be so carried as to maintain the maximum rate
of fire until these are expended. COMPARISONS
of the Nesuvius with the Ilgin. Tripoh. De-
structor, Sharpshooter, Rattlesnake and
Bombe show that she can discharge more than
three times as much explosive than that car.
ried by the largest of these vessels to more than
five times the effective range and in about one
half the time required where seven torpedo
tubes are used. The Vesuvius has speed of
more than 20 knots.

INTERPRETER KELLEY, who accompa-
MED the Thetis in tho cruise along the
Arctic coast OF Alaska after founding the
relief station at Point Barrow, has reached
San Francisco and tells of strange discov-
cries on Herschel Island. The islain,, he
says, ia series of great rollers, appearing
as If great waves Of mortar had been sud
denly chilled upon bed of red granite.
The highest waves have an elevation of
500 feet. The island has an area of fifty
square miles. On the southern sand spits
there are abandoned villages. Guns of
obsolete patterns were found on graves.
" The bodies rest on the ground, heads
to the east. Over each corpse IA heavy
wooden box had been built from driftwood
logs. In these wooden tombs, ptarmigan,
Of which we found great many on the
islands, had year after year, sought refuge
during gales and held high carnival feast
ing on the corpses. In the open jaws of
one skeleton n sacrilegous snowbird had
built its nest, but its brood had flown"
Could any writer of ficticn produce a
better mingling of tho weird, the wonder
full and beautiful? A young brood reared
in the very jaws of death!
"The scene was one OF the most depress-
ing desolation. On the high land at the
head of this spit Lieutenant Osborne, the
executive officer of the Thetis, erected a
white oak cross bearing this legend, in
copper letters U. S. s. Thelis, August Is,

No American vessels had ever passed the
Alaska Canada boundary, and the only
vessels in that part of the world were those
under Mcclure and Collinson in 1851,
when the former was making his famous
Northwestern passage. on the return trip
the Thetis was beset with tho icepack. The
upper yards and topgallant masts were
housed and the battle for freedom COM
menced. The Thetis rammcd away for
five days. making sometimes seventy-fiye
