NEW USE FOR WATER.

A Stream Three-Quarters OF an
Inch In Diameter.
A new boat is expected TO make the
unusual speed of twenty-five miles an
hour Her propelling power will be a
stream of water discharged from "a
nozzle three-quarters OF an inch in
diameter, at the stern. 1t has been
practically demonstrated TO the satis-
faction OF scientists that the impact Of
"A column OF water swiftly delivered
under the surface against the body OF
water the ship floats in has precisely
the same resulting reaction upon the
vessel as ii the stream were discharged
against a solid wall beside the vessel.
This achievement does not rest upon
the results obtained in laboratory pro-
cesses merely, but has been proved in
the actual working of "A steam launch
OF forty tons burden, the Prima Vista.
which, with hull not modelled for
speed, with an ordinary engine and
without vacuum pump. attained a
speed of twelve miles an hour by the
projection OF "a stream of water one
quarter OF an inch in diameter. The
pressure of the column OF water was
900 pounds to the square inch, and the
nozzle discharged $40 pounds OF water
per minute at a velocity Of $50 feet a
second.
These facts were determined by DR..
Walter M. jackson, OF Rhode Island.
He has spent more than eighty thou
sand dollars in his experiments and for
the new boat, the Evolution. The lat
ter is 100 feet long. Her draueht is
only feet and her floor is almost fiat.
The tendency in propulsion will be to
drive her out OF rather than under tn G
water. BY the use OF steele for the boil
err hollow pistons, ribbed cross heads
and aluminium where that metal is APP
propriate. the weight has been re-
duced 30 per cent and DR.. jackson. who
regards this construction as but n step
toward his ideal, expects ultimately to
get twice the power with one-fourth the
weight OF this apparatus. The pressure
OF the Jet of water is 1900 pounds to
the square inch. and the nozzle will
deliver 900 gallons minute at a veloc-
ity OF coo feeta second. Among other
advantages gained, the drag Of a screw
astern Is obyiatcd. \ rudder, except
an auxiliary one to be shipped if nee
essary, is also dispensed with, the ship
being stored by a detection of the
current of water. A nozzle at the bow.
brought into action by simply revers-
ing the lever, delivers "a stream for
ward to stop boat or back her. 9th
er applications OF the jets OF water are
under con sideratiou.
The saving in the direct application
OF power over the use Of a screw pro-
peller is estimated at more than 80 per
cent. The space occupied by the
engine is much less than that required
by an ordinary marine engine, and it
has the further advantage of being
horizontal in its position in the vessel
instead Of being set up vertically. DIR.
Jackson says that with pressure OF 81
900 pounds to the square inch through
three. quarter inch nozzle the Etrutria,
one of the largest ocean steamships,
could be driven twenty miles an hour.
No disturbance OF the water is made
eighteen inches from the nozzle.

How the Attractions of a Military

Recently. says the Pitsburg Times,
man slightly under the influence OF
liquor approached the guard standing
at the door OF the recruiting station OF
the United States army. Penn avenue,
and, addressing the soldiers, said:
lis this the place To enlist in tho
army?"
''Yes, SIR" replied the uniformed
gentleman.
IL believe l would like to enlist and
go to the Allegheny Arsenal at
Lawrenceville. That is pretty nice
place, and think the soldiers have u
pretty soft snap"
''But why do you want 10 join the
army?" asked the soldier. Are you
in trouble and wish to withdraw from
the world and drown your sorrow in
the quiet life OF a soldier, or are you
out OF employment and disheartened"'
Neither Of these" said the appli-
cant for army honors. 81 have been q
Woodworking man all my life, and now
l want TO take a rest and know of no
softer snap thnn TO be a soldier.
We'll. now, just listen one moment
and will explain the matter to you.
In the first place the chances are ten
to one that if you enlist you will regret
il within three months and then wish
you were back in Pittsburg. There is
no way OF getting back until your time
is expired. and if you desert and como
back you will be retaken, court-mar-
tailed and sentenced to undergo i'm
prsonment at hard labor for five
years. None but those of long service
can get an opportunity to come to
Pittsbur1 and be stationed at the arse
nal or recruiting stations. You would
be sent West and be compelled TO do
sentinel duty ut the camp, and be out
in all kinds Of weather. with no beer
or whiskey TO drive out the frost and
dampness.

surprise, "ii that is the case, | don
