An Interesting Experiment.

A New York paper says: Two
miniature fac-similes of the steam
ships Paris and New York, pro-
PEELED by electricity, raced against
each other in the big swimming
tank atthesNew Manhattan Atfile2
tic Club. The inventor, DR.. ]. W.
Barlow, of Brooklyn, said the ex-
hibition was TO demonstrate that
by means of simple device gain
in speed of twenty per cent over
the usual model could be secured.
The little boats were about three
feet long, built of brass from the
same mould, and each having an
engine and screw exactly alike,
driven by the curreut from a sto-
rage battery set nearly amidships
in the hole of each. In one OF the
boats, however, groove has been
cut in the side at the water-llne,
beginning at the stern aud extend
ing to a point opposite where the
foremost would stand, and gra-
dually tapering off. This groove
was cut at such an angle that
when the boat was at full speed
the bpw was lifted from the water
and the resistance OF the vessel
materially lessened At signal the
boats were started. The little yes
sells had gone but few feet when
the one in which the grooves had
been cut began to gain perceptibly
on the other, its bow being raised
from the water as its speed in
creased. The tank is one hundred
and twenty-five feet long, and the
faster of the boats covered the dis
lance in forty-three seconds, while
the other required one minute and
ten seconds. These trials are of
the greatest importance, for they
show that if this system can be
applied to the big steamships full
day can be saved in crossing the
Atlantic without any additional
expense in building.

Moore & Co. are Boston contractors

at cost of $1,000. The job was not
done Enthusiastically, it was claimed by
the Water Company, which refused to
pay Moore & Co.. for the work done.
The contractors sued the Water Com

brought cross suit for 900 claim
ing that the work was not done in q
workmanlike manner.
The contention of the contractors was
that the poor work was due to weak
pipes, which were furnished by the
Water Company. The referees decided
all cases in favor of Moore & Co, and
awarded them s6,16433, the balance due
them on the job.
