Manual Labor and Professions

The tendency of young men in this
country to embark in the learned pro-
fessions with no especial aptitude for
anything except avoiding manual labor,
is constantly on the increase. 1t is great
ly to be deplored, for to such failure is
almost the inevitable result. The trou-
BILE with these young men is that they
do not understand the dignity of manual
labor. They do not realize that honor
and fortune may be more readily real
lied outside of these o-caled learned
professions than in them, and that it is
just as honorable to swing q hammer
or to hold a plow as it is to make a
speech in court or amputate limb

REDUCING THE ROLLING OF SHIPS.
A Naval Problem Worked Out by the
Engineers.
From Cassier's Magazlne.

From Casters Magazine
Two very important means Of diminish
ing the extent OF rolling ships have been
carefully investigated and the application
of these means in any particular vessel is
open to every naval architect. The less
important Of these two means, as being
the less certain in its action, is the fitting
up of a water chamber on board the ship,
so contrived that the action Of the water
inside the chamber shall as nearly as pos
sible be always in antagonsm to the roll
ing Of the ship tending to bring the ship
to port at the time she is starting to roll
to starboard and vice versa. The names
most closely associated with this means,
and its theoretical and practical investi-
cation, are Mr. r. f. Froude, Mr. Watts
and Prof Biles. The more important Of
the means Of diminishing the extent of
rolling is the application Of bilge keels to
the choCks-structures attached TO the
bilges for some thing like half the length
of the ship, and projecting from the skin
of the ship to the extent of eight 10 thir
ty-six inches, according 20 the size Of the
ship, and the desire TO take fun adVant-

most thoroughgoing investigation of their
use and efficiency is that of Sir William
White and Mr.. II. e. Froude in connection
with the bilge keeis fitted TO II. NJ. s.
Revenge.
Experiments in this case seemed 10 show
that the extent Of rolling. after fitting the
bilge keels. was only about one-third the
extent without the blge keels. This was
the case when the ship was not propelled
by her machinery. when, on the other
hand, she was 20 propelled, even at a
moderate speed. the effect OF the bilge
kecs was even more marked.
