Scientific Notes.

Experiments recently made show that
soapsuds will redu ce sea almost as well
as oil.
1t is expected that the electric light of
the future will be obtained by the utilizing
of broken or alternate currents.
A physician asserts that SO per cent of
what are termed colds are nothing more
nor less than the poisoning of the mucous
membrane by impure air.
An expert is responsible fo- the opinion

twenty-four hours a labor equal to liftin &
100 tons one foot from the earth.
The process of electro-zincing is being
preferred in England to galvanizing, es-
pecialy for the tubes of boilers for marine
work. The adhesion of the zinc to the
iron is considered superior to that obtained
by the old process.

.The,amount of dampness in an lapart-
ment may be tested by closing doors and
windows and leaving piece of fresh quick
lime in the loom for twenty-four hours.
If three-quarters of an ounce of water Is
absorbed by the lime the room may be
considered unhealthy The amount of
water absorbed is determined by weighing

The Photographic rifle is said to have

of Germany and his guests on deer hunt.

missed his game.

Rear-Admiral S. Makaroff of the Russian
navy is the inventor of the Makaroff ram
guard, which, though it was devised but
short time ago, has received much favor
able comment from authorities in mari
time matters. 1t is designed to minimize
the effects of collisions at sea such as re-
suited in the sinking of the Elbe and the
British man-of-war Camperdown, two
well-known disasters. The unprotected
| sharp edge of a steamer or the ram of a
warship now penetrates the skin of the
modern iron vessel in collision as a
| hatchet penetrates the side of tin can,
and water-tight compartments have been
! found an inadequate protection. Admiral
Makaroff has suggested that the PROV OF a
| steamer or the ram of warship be pro-
tected with false nose which shall be
! strong enough to cut the water, but in case
of collision would flatten out and oppose
broad surface to the other vessels side.
The invention is being generally adopted
| in the Russian navy.

Electrical Devices on shipboard.

Electrical Devices on Shipboard.
Nearly all the electrical devices which
are at present used on American vessels
are the inventions of an American naval
officer Lieutenant Fiske. The latest form
OF his engine-room telegraph not only sig
mails by dial indication such orders as
stop" "back," etc., which are sufficient
for the control of the engines of ships
cruising alone, but conveys to the engi-
neers explicit directions as to the number
of revolutions of the propelling screws (cor-
responding approximately to a certain
speedy that is necessary if ships are to
cruise in feet formation, and then auto
matically repeats back its message and the
fact that it has been obeyed to the sending
station.
Another ingenious appliance is the helm
indicator, which enables the captain not
only to inform the helmsman the exact
angle at which the rudder is TO be put, but
it makes the rudder itself automatically
signal back 10 him the information that
the steering order has been attended to.
BY means of these devices the captain of a
ship can now control both the speed and
the movements of the vessel with a rapid
ity and a degree of certainty which has
hitherto been impossible.
Still another invention of Lieutenant

tive power, as they both involve too much

rocket scars into the air to great
height and with great force. What does
it? 1t is simply the com mbustion of the
material used turned into gas as it is
forced out of the tube as it is created, and
the expansion creates an impact against
the atmosphere while the rocket is speeded
by continuous recoil until the explosives
are consumed. | suppose nearly every
one is aware that rockets are employed in
carrying lines from distressed ships to the
shore, and from the shore to ships. Think
ing over this, it has occurred to my mind
that gas exploded in chamber
and discharged out of bell
mouthed tube again the atmosphere
would propel the vessel in proportion
to the amount of gas used at each explo-
sion and the surface of the atmosphere
covered BY the mouth of the discharging
tube. We also know what great force is
exerted to expeI cannon ball of ton
weight for miles from cannon; it is sim
ply the com mbustion OF the powder into gas,
and this same force will drive balls
through plates of steel foot thick. The
power is there, if it can be controlled and
harnessed.
My idea for an aerial machine is to have
q cigar-shaped cylinder with folding aero
planes on each side of it fastened to the
car that would cover a large surface and
open Immediately, like parachutes, to pre-
vent too rapid descent and also rudder
on the forward end of the car and the ex-
ploding chamber and tube on the other as
per sketches of side and end views. No
matter how fast the machine was going
through the air it could not create any
vacuum and as it were there would always
be air for the gas to operate upon as full
crum.
! submit this idea for such men as
Maxim and others that are experimenting
in this field to think over.

~ AVID B. JAMES of this CITY
writes THE CALL as follows re-
gardlng a new device for nayi-
~ eating the air: In your Sunday
edition, March L, appears, under
tie heading of Human Flight,
an article contributed by Otto Lillen-
thall, embodying his ideas of muscu-
lar flying. l will not discuss the
practcability of his theory, or the absurd
idea advanced and published of the great
inventor Edison, of building ships and in
1late the sails with gas, and sail through
the air the same as if they were on the
ocean.
Man has wanted to fly ever since he
knew the birds navigated the air, and
many MINDS have given the subject great
study. So far none have solved the prob
lem farther than to go up in balloon.
We all know that flying is not impossible,
that 1t IS demonstrated by the fight of
thousand different kinds of birds and in
sects that employ only mechanical means

a curious feature of the balloon is the
big guide rope of coccanut fiber weighing
1000 Kilograms, a weight sufficient to
maintain the balloon at a height of about
600 feet, at which elevation the explorers
can study the regions over which they
pass and which will enable M. Steindberg,
the photographer, to picture them,
The expedition will start from Gothen-
burg on specially chartered steamer, the
Virgo. and " ill reach Northwestern Spltz-
bergen i'll two weeks. There the explorers
will debark and erect a temporary house,
picture of which is presented here. In
this house the balloon will be charged
with gas carefully made by experts. 1t
will require some time to make the gas
and charge the envelope, but M. Andree
expects to get away in the balloon early in
July.
The Pole Nord will carry three persons
M. Andree, who is capable aeronaut:
Professor Gustav Ekholm, the scientific
observer, and DR.. Nils SteIndberg, physi-
clan and photographer. Andree does not
know how long he will be in the air before
he finds an air current that will drift him
over the pole. but he expects the Pole
Nord will be able to stay aloft three weeks
and cover distance of 5000 miles, and the
balloon will be provisioned for that period.
This novel expedition is exciting the
greatest interest in scientific circles in Eu-
rope, and many steam yachts will escort
the Virgo as far as Spitzbergen and their
distinguished passengers witness the as
cension of the Pole Nord. Every possible
contingency of Arctic travel has been pro-
vided for; and as the Swedes have gener-
ally been very fortunate in Arctic explora-
ton, Andree's compatriots are hopeful
that good luck will attend him and success
crown his novel and daring attempt TO
solve the world-old mystery of the north
