ALUMINIUM ROWING SHELLS.
College Contests Next Spring May Bo De
cided in White Boats.

cided in White Boats.
Daniel j. Galanaugh, the Philadelphia
boatbuilder, is constructing the first
SCARED racing shell ever built from
aluminium metal. 1t is intended for the
use Of the Cornell college crew and will
be finished the latter part of March.
Galanaugh is the first boat builder to cx-
pertinent with aluminium in the con-
struCtiOn of racing shells His first eff
fort was on single scull shell for the
use of George W. Statzell, commodore
of the Schuylkill navy and ex-champion
single sculler of the Schuylkill river. It
Is proved 10 be very strong boat and
some four pounds lighter than those CON
structed from any other material hith-
ertO used.
The shell was loaned to an oarsman
who was entered at Newark. n. j., re-
gatta, and there Charles i. Courtney,
the Cornell trainer, saw it. He was
much taken with the new style of shell
and urged its adoption so strongly and
so persistently that the Cornell boating
authorities finally appointed a com
mittee to go to Philadelphia and inter
view the maker. Galanaugh felt so
positive that he could build a shell at
least ten seconds faster than the one
constructed of either paper OF cedar that
he agreed to take the risk of building an
eight at his own expense, and if it does
not prove ten seconds faster than any
other shell the crew can get they need
not take it.
The keel and the gunwale are now
laid in his shop on the banks of the
Schuylkill. The boat will be GO feet in
length over all, 90 inches beam amid
ships, 81 inches deep amidships, 81 inches
deep forward and 81 inches deep aft
The she'll will be composed entirely of
aluminium, with the exception of the
washbox, which will be of wood and the
! outriggers, which will be of steel tubing,
cold drawn. The shell will weigh 175
pounds, all told. Ordinary paper and
cedar shells weigh about POS pounds,
and Waters, the famous shell builder, Of
Troy, N. Y, claims that a 200-pound
SCARED shell is an exceedingly light one
The aluminium shell will be built in two
pieces, being divided fore and aft and
then joined together amidships 1t is
designed to carry an average weight "
175 pounds per man.
The aluminium from which this shell is
being made is one-twentieth of an inch
thick and weighs about seven ounces to
the square foot. Galanaugh's contract
calls for the completion of the boat by
the latter part of March, when the Cor
nell crew will come to Philadelphia to
try the shell ON the Schuylkill. If it is
satisfactory Galanaugh will receive $500.
The fact of Cornells ordering this shell
has caused considerable comment in col
lege boating circles, and Harvard intends
having one as soon as possible. A num-
Der of oarsmen from that college visited
Philadelphia Saturday. the result of
which was the ordering of an aluminium
shell for the Harvard crew. Galanaugh
has orders now for twelve aluminium
boats-two four cared, two Fights, one
double and seven single shells. One of
the tours is for a Portland (Or.) club,
and one of the singles goes to the Nara
gansett club. of Providence.-Philadel.

Alexander Graham Bell and the tele-
phone have been synonymous terms for a
dozen years or more. Bells career presents
one Of the most remarkable Monte Christie
romances in this country Of rapid fortune
making. Bell was penniless boy in Edin-
burgh thirty years ago. He came to this
country in 1872 and finally became teacher
In deaf and dumb school in Boston From
boyhood the idea of speech transmission
had been an undercurrent of thought with
him, and he has frequently said that long
before 1870 we would one day speak by
telegraph. The telephone was the result
of years of patient labor and investigation.

Poetry Of the War.

Wartime poetry is, in proportion to
its volume, transient indeed. and out Of
the vast mass Of camp songs, poetic ex-
hortations to patriotism and mourning
stanzas produced in a great war it Is
rare that more than two or three survive
and become standard classics. The
American civil war presented no excep-
ton. II Is too soon to say positively that
even half a dozen poems Of that time
viii live. but II Is certain that at least
one poet on each side will be quoted for
sges-Father Ryan and Julia Ward

The gentlemen who have organized
and controlled the electric street rail-
way line between Fairhaven and New
Whatcom have given n service equal to
that Of any other city on Puget sound,
and deserve the lasting gratitude Of the
general public, and especially Of those
owning property on the Bay. The sys-
tenn has been Of untold convenience
and benefit, and has had a large influ-
ence in overcoming local preiudices and
drawing the two ends Of the Bay to-
gether. Messrs. Baker, Cook and Me-
Carly, who are reported in today's local
columns a. withdrawing from the com
pany, are valuable and enterprising
citizens, and will doubtless devote their
energies to other public enterprises.
Messrs. Eldridge and Cosgrove, who
constitute the new management of the
road, can be relied upon to continue
the running Of the road in a manner
which will be at once creditable to
themselves and equal to the demands
Of the travelling public For time the
service will be curtailed somewhat, but
not more than is justified by the de-
creased traffic. With the opening up
Of the spring and summer travel the
service will be found to increase pro-
portionately, to the entire satisfaction
of all narfiea Interested

Some one has said that the best natured
body in the world is an American crowd.
Those who have any doubts about the truth
of this statement should make one Of the
crowd that gathers in Newspaper row any
election night. Packed solidly from School
and Milk streets to Court and state streets,
it is as independent body of humanity as
one can anywhere find. The Darwinian
principle of the survival of the fittest"
prevails ~ literally as one could wish.
Every one is for himself, and he pushes,
iostles and talks to maintain his standing
place or to get better one. Yet despite all
this every one is in the best Of humor, laughs
as heartily at his own discontinue as at
that Of the fellow at his elbow, and forgives
the man who treads on his toes Those
who have ever had anything to do with a
French or German crowd will recognize the
difference between those transatlantic
gatherings and the American one.-Boston

Remarkable Rainfall.

We often hear people declare that dur.
ing certain heavy shower "at least q
foot Of water FELL" That such phcnom.
enal shower would be impossible shall
now attempt to prove: An acre is equal
to 6,ZIZ,64O square inches; au inch OF
water over the surface of an inch would
mean 6,272, 10 cubic inches, which, at
the usually estimated ratio of 227 inches
to the gallon, means %, 900. This i'm.
meuse quantity of water would weigh
Zzo,oO0 pounds or exactly I0J tonsl
just think of it, aud this calculation is
on the basis of only an inch Of rainfall,
not foot. Yet mauy reliable (D men
will tell you that they have seen wooden
buckets of ten aud twelve inche, Ia
height rained full in less than au hour.
Such declarations are simply nonsense of
the most nonsensical kind.
Throughout most of the Unitel States
the amount of rain which falls in twenty.
four hours rarely exceeds one inch, which
means 100 tons of water to the acre.
There arc exceptions to all rules, OF
course, and occasionally the fall is much
more remarkable. Thus at Flatbush,
Long Island, on the pa of August, 1843,
nine inches of rain fell in less than eight
hours; at Catskill, N. Y, on July 26,
1919, fifteen inches of wa or fell IN six
hours; at Wilmington, Del, on July 30,
1881, It inches fell in less than two
hours and half, and at Fairfield, Ohio,
on the 18th day of August, 1861, eight
inches OF water foil in eleven hours.

has just been recorded by su, geon. A
workman whilst attending machine
used for cutting blocks of tin had the
tips Of two of the fingers Of his left hand
clean cut off with kuife. Seven hours
afterwards the man went to the hospital
for treatment. The surgeon determined
to sttempt to replace the missing por-
tions Of the fngers, although the pros.
pect of getting them to unite seemed to
be most remote. The wounds were care
fully cleansed and the cuds of the fingera
were restored to their places aud fixed
by satures. In fortnight firm union
was found to have occurred, and when
the patient was next seen, after consid.
cradle lapse of time, the surgeon was
able to note that both motion aud sensa-
tiop were perfect In the ends Of the
