BETTER THAN STEAM PIPES.
The Transmission of Power by Electricit.
ON Naval Vessels.

The Transmission OF Power by Electricity
ON Naval Vessels.
There can be no question that cleo
trio transmission Of power will In the
rear future largely displace the objec-
tionable steampiping, OF which such u
great amount Is now necessary in our
modern naval vessels in order to supply
steam 20 much Of the auxiliary ma
chinery. IL is easy to see that such pip
ing Is objectionable TO many ways. 1t
is bulky and takes up valuable space
when protected, as II must be, from nom
conducting covering. The covering is
subject TO more or less deterioration
with the vibration Of the ship and the
machinery. The heat from the pipes is
J objectionable in every closed space,
while the necessity Of providing for the
exhaust and Of keeping the pipes
drained OF water OF condensation is a
constant source OF trouble. More
serious still Is the danger which such
steampipes threaten In time Of action,
since the cutting Of any one of them by
a projectile would result In severe in
Jury TO all within reach. To meet these
objections suggestions have been made
advocating the substitution OF hydraulic
power, while others again point TO the
advantages which compressed air pos
sesses under these particular condi-
uons. As 10 what can be done in the
latter direction Is shown by the very
complete installation with which the
United States monitor Terror has been
equipper. On this vessel compressed
air is used for performing all the various
mechanical operations on board, from
moving the rudder 20 hosting ammuni-
tion. This Is far superior 10 system OF
steampipe distribution or 20 the scat
tering OF donkey boilers over various
parts OF the vessel, and, as we have said
tn. only system that promises even bet
ter results Is electrical power distribu-
tion. II would appear that compressed
air would be superior 20 this In sim
plicity for direct hoisting, while where
a rotary motion is required the electric
motor would have the advantage. Sc
far as injury during action is concerned

system has the advantage. since injur,

CLEARING OUT THE RooKERlES.
The Work That Has Been Done In New
York Under the Tenement Laws.

The Work That Has Been Done In New
York Under the Tenement Laws.
The Mott Street barracks are on their
last legs. The rear houses were cleared
by order of the board of health last
June, and even the saloon keeper who
collected the rents admitted to me,
when II was well over, that it was a
good thing. These tenements were
among the first 10 be seized under the
sanitary appropriation law. They were
nearly the worst In the city, and hope
less from structural defects. The rift
between the front and rear buildings
Il hardly deserves the name of gap
Is Just six feet ten inches wide.
Through II came whatever Of sunlight
and air reached the renr houses, for
they backed up against the rear tene-
ments on Elizabeth street, so that one
could put his hand through the dark
little windows on the stairs, and touch
the wall OF the neigbbor's house, hard
" a foot away. The rent rose as one
went up, instead of the reserve, for the
good reason that there was some air
at the top, while down at the bottom
there was none, nor light either.
In this rookery lived 800 tenants, all
Italians except two families. when the
police census of 1855 was taken. Forty
of them were babies. The infant death
rate of the barracks that year was 325
per thousand; that is 10 say, nearly one
third of the 40 babies died. The gen.
eral infant death rate for the whole
tenement house population that year
was ss.3s. BY 1891, by persistent nag
glng, the number Of tenants had been
reduced to 23s-the barracks were di'
rectly under the windows Of the health
board, and gave the officials much con
Germ by their open defiance Of
health laws--but there were more
babies than ever. That year the infant
death rate In the barracks was l06.3s;
In the whole tenement population, s6.67.
In the interval of four years, 81
funerals had gone out from the bar
racks, IS Of them with white hearses.
The old houses had been touched up
with much paint and whitewash and a
gorgeous tin cornice with the year 1890
In raised letters a foot long and had
changed owners; but IL was all Of no
avail. The same summer that saw a
conference of experts and rhiianthroI'-
lists gathered in New York 20 discuss
better means Of housing the property
less masses, and saw plans evolved that
look toward graphing with the whole
problem In a humane and liberal spirit,
witnessed also the seizure Of the bar
racks as typical of the worst devised by
a needless past. II was as II should be.
The tenant was having his innings at
last. The undertaken had had his, and
made the most Of it.-Jacob A. Riis, in

nov the Vote Is Counted and Transmit-
ted to the Capitol
just how or where or when the cleo
tornl vote Is cast seems 10 be some
thing Of a mystery to many voters who
are well-informed on all other sub
jccts.
The votes urc cast in each state, on
the same day, IN accordance with a
provision Of the United States which
reads:
"The electors for each state shall
meet and give their votes upon the first
Wednesday in December, In the year ~
which they are appointed, at such plaa o
IN each state as the legislature of each
state may direct"
In Ohio and in most OF the other
states, there is specia. legislation pro-
vidlng that the votes shall be east Mt the
state capitol.
The federal statutes have provided for
any contingency that might arise.
Each state may, by law, provide for the
filling of any vacancies which may oc-
cur in its college of electors, whom
such college meets TO give its electoral
vote.
In Ohio, should n vacancy occur, the
Ohio electoral college has power to elect
persons to fll such vacancies. and
should II happen that two persons re-
ceive the same number of votes, the
governor makes the choice By lot. II
will be seen, therefore, that no adverse
state administration could affect the
electoral vote.
After the votes nre formally cast,
three certificates are made, in which
the votes for president and vice presi-
dent are given In separate lists.
The college then chooses person, not
necessarily a member of its body, to
personally take one certificate TO Wash
ington. This he must deliver to tho
president of the senate before the first
week in January. In the event of that
officer not being in Washington when
the messenger arrives. the secretary oi
state is empowered TO take charge OF
the certificate.
The second certificate must he sent
10 the president OF the senate 10y mail
so as TO reach Washington before the
first week in January.
The third certificate is delivered q
the federal judge Of the district in
which the electoral college meets.
On the second Wednesday of Feb
ruary, congress is in session. and the
electoral vote Is formally cnnvassed.
Should II happen that neither OF the
first two certificates reach Washington
by the second Wednesday in February,
the secretary OF state at once sends a
special messenger to the federal judge
who is in possession of the third certifi-
cate, and that is then taken TO Wash
ilgtou.
Each messenger Is paid mileage upon
the surrender OF the certificate, 10 the
amount OF 25 cents for each mile he has
travelled by the most direct route. Az
his transportation does not usually eN
ceed six cents per mile for the round
trip, he is a few dollars to the good
Messengers from the remote states are
thus quite well paid for their time

for California will be ahead about S6O'
on the trip.-Toledo Blade.
