What aKnot Ia

Probably there is no nautical term
more frequently used during the pres.
ent naval war than the word sknot. +"
The word is Synonymous of the nan.
teal mile, or 608O.27 feet, while, as
every one knows, the geographical mile
is $3.50 feet. This would make the
knot equal to ! 15-10O of geographical
miles, and, therefore, in order to COM
pare the speed of boat expressed in
knots with railroad train it is neces-
sary to multiply the speed in knots
by 15-100.
Another point to be remembered is
that speed means distance travelled
in unit time, 50 when one speaks of a
boat having q speed of 20 knots it is
not necessary or proper to add per
hour, as the word itself when en-
ployed as unit of speed signifies
nautical miles per hour. A cruiser
that makes q knots travels 24.15
geographical miles per hour. The
fastest speed yet obtained by any boat
is said to have been attained by the
yacht Ellide, which is known to have
a record OF one geographical mile in
I'm. 36 LIS, or 1872 miles an hour.
In fact, recent article in one of the
engineering journals states that q rec
ord OF 40 miles an hour has been made
by this boat. -Philadelphia Record.

WATER IN WELLS BECOMES HOT

Residents of Arizona Alarmed Over
Phenomenon in Their Territory.
The wells in parts Of Arizona have
recently become producers of hot water
and apprehension is felt by many of
the residents Of the region affected that
they are about to become participants
In grand volcanic drama. In some of
the wells the temperature of the water
rose twenty degrees In a single night
In few the phenomenon disappeared
soon after its appearance. In major
lty of cases, however, the wells fairly
steam from their newly acquired heat.
The first known of this curious state of
affairs was a report that the wells at
Maricopa, on the Southern Pacific rail-
road, thirty miles south of Phoenix.
had suddenly become hot. 1t was four
days thereafter that the phenomenon
first was noticed a dozen miles west OF
that city. A test at one well showed
q temperature of nearly 100 degrees.
No difference is noted in wells In the
immediate vicinity of Phoenix. The
line of subterranean heat wave follows
the general direction of the Sierra
Estrella mountains, volcanic chain
lying Immediately south of the Gila
river. Thence it appears to continue
on in the direction Of the Harqua
Hala mountains, near which are
number Of large and modern volcanic
cones and hills of drifted volcanic ash.
Further to the east the lava flows are
80 geologically modern as to have over
in number of places the cliii
