MURDERER cLIFF0RD'S CASE.

Prosecutor Erwin will probably apply
to the Court of Errors and Appeals at
the present term to dismiss the writ of
error in the Clifford insanity proceedings
1t will be remembered that some months
ago Justice Lippincott and Judge Blair,
sitting in the Court of Oyer and Termf-
ner, heard testimony for and against the
contention raised by Lawyers Warren
Dixon and John P. Stockton, Jr., that
Edward Clifford who killed Superintend-
ent William G. Watson, was insane a.
the time of the hearing and had been In
that condition for a long time previous.
Expert testimony was produced on both
sides and the Court decided that Clifford
was not insane. His counsel took a writ
of error, which is awaiting argument.

Harsnett,s ThermometricaI Repor1


Mahan has pointed out that the value of
power: second, the period during which it
can maintain an offensive position, and,
third, its dirigibility. In other words. the
power of a fleet to injure an enemy may
be taken as the product of its gun power,
its coal endurance and speed. A change
from steam to electricity must be made
only il it affects favorably one of these
three vital elements of Warship design
Experience with the electricity operated
turret machinery on the Brooklyn and
Massachusetts has shown it to be more
delicate in its action than was the steam
turret machinery on those ships. This is
a mater involving the efficiency OF the
guns; for this purpose, therefore. electric
ity should be adopted. The same good re-
suits have been obtained from electrically
operated ammunition hosts. and here. too,
electricity should be used OF course,
electricity is a necessity for the SEARCH
lights and the lighting of the ship. For
most of the auxiliaries, however, the
question rests upon the economy of the
machinery, whether operated by steam G.
