The War Department VIII Exhibit Mod
ern French Military Balloon.

The War Department VIII Exhibit "a Mod
ern French Military Balloon.
The war department will have at the
fair an exhibit of the military balloon,
which will be operated by an expert,
ascensions being made at stated inter
walls. The balloon has been purchased
of the French manufactures, La
chain bre, and will be delivered to Capt.
Aytoun April 10 The big bag has a
capacity of thirteen thousand feet, is
made of goldbeater skin. and including
the basket, ropes, sand bags, drag and
other accessories cost several thousand
dollars.
As soon as the balloon is delivered in
Chicago a detachment of signal corps
sergeants will come on from Washing
ten to join the force already here, that
a practical illustration may be given
of the methods of signaling in the army.
1t has not yet been decided from what
source the gas FOR the balloon will be
obtained. Pure hydrogen gas is the
best and it may be obtained directly
from one of the city plants There is
also the proposition that the gas be
brought from the east as an illustra-
ton of transportation IN time OF war.
The gas can be compressed in steel
tubes, each four or five feet long, and
in this manner easily carried to the
place where the balloon is be filled.
In the English army the gas is man
ufactured at a government plant and
compressed into tubes, and so carried
to the balloon. The French have a
better system. They carry the plant
with the balloon, and manufacture the
gas as desired. The plant may be
picked up and carried off without any
trouble. If there were any such occa-
sion in this country as there is in Eu-
rope for military ballooning, this prin-
ciple of a portable gas plant would
undoubtedly be the one adopted for
the United States army, but the bal
loon which has been purchased will be
used entirely for experimental pur-
poses against the time when such a
feature NAV be necessary.

THOSE HEAVY GUNS.
English Experience Against
Their Use on War Vessels.

lHeH use Oh WaI
For a number of years Great
Britain has viewed with pride her
group of powerful modern battle
ships, which are equipped with the
large 110-ton guns, worked with
hydraulic power. While these guns
belong to a class which have given
the English naval authorities con-
siderable trouble, owing to their
tendency to droop at the muzzle,
the cold weather of the past winter
has developed another serious draw
back to their employment on war
vessels. On one of the warships
the low temperature had so disas-
trous an effect on the hydraulic
machinery that the greater portion
of it had 10 be taken apart and for
warded to the firms by whom it
was supplied for reconstruction and
repair.
Admiral of the Fleet Sir Thomas
Symonds, in a letter to an English
military journal, says that the best
ships of the British navy, as at
present fitted, are not suitable for
service in such waters as the Bal
tic. He also calls attention to the
fact that numerous accidents have
happened from time to time in con-
nection with the use of the hydrau-
lie machinery, and that there are
many disadvantages inseparable
from the use of very heavy guns,
which cannot, as a rule, be fired
right ahead or astern, point blank,
without wrecking the deck. He
urges, therefore, that these exces-
sively heavy guns should be put on
shore and that they should be re-
placed by a suitable number of
lighter ones, such as the 10-inch
29-ton guns, which are to be the
heaviest included in the armament
of the powerful British battleship
Centurion, now building.-lEx-

An Elaborate Scheme i'm Gener-
affne Electricity.

affne Electricity.
What promises to be one of the
most elaborate water-power plants
in the world is now in process of
erection at Portland, Oregon. 1t
will be operated by the Portland
General Electric Company, which
proposes to utilize the falls at Port
land not only to make electric
lights, but also to run number Of
electric street railway lines and to
supply electric power to the citizens
of Portland. Ten thousand horse
power is to be generated in blocks
ranging from 600 horsepower
down. Twenty-Five turbines are to
be put in at once-two 46-inch, ten
42-inch, and ten 60-inch vertical
cylinder gate wheels set in iron
fumes and feeds.
The electrical plant will consist
of ten 600 horsepower motors, ten
600 horsepower dynamos and two
400 horsepower exciters. The
armatures, which go directly on
the shaft wheel, measure 1924
inches and weigh 10000 pounds,
and make 200 revolutions per min
ute. No betting of any kind will
be used in the plant. The water
fall has head of 40 feet, but, as at
times the river has been known to
rise so high az to considerably di-
minish this head, the engineer who
prepared the plans for this import
ant plant, has devised a very in
genious method of overcoming this
difficulty by putting in a separate
wheel, to be used when there is a
serious rise in the river.-[Ex.
