vessel will leave Fort Monroe this morn
ing for run of forty-eight hours at sea,
and during that period her superimpOsed
turrets will be submitted to a test even
more severe than that of last week. This
I second run will be the final official trial
of the big battleship to determine whether
she was constructed in every way accord

The result was that, when current sent
through the lamp the flament glowed more
brightly in spots than in others and in
order to make the resistance uniform the fila
ments had To be treated" This treatment con
sisted in introducing a hydrOCarbOn gas into the
bulb and then sending current through the fila
ment. The parts that glOwed brightest / e.
those that We're of too high resistance, had car
bon deposited on them more rapidly than on
the cooler portions, which brought the hlament
to uniform resistance throughout
FilamentS are now manufactured from cellu-
lose by means of the squirting process, and
there is no difficulty in making them of uniform
resistance, but the treatment is still continued
not because it is necessary to secure uniform
resistance but because it has been found that
the hard coating of graphite carbon given to
the hlament by this process greatly improves it's
light giving properties The untreated carbon
radiates its heat much more readily than the
treated, hence a given amount of power eX-
pended in the lamp will cause the treated car
bon TO attain 4 higher temperature than the
untreated, and the efficiency of the lamp is
thereby improved.

THE OSPREYS NEST.

INGENUITY AND STRENGTH OF THE BIRD IN
PROVIDING MATERIALS FOR IT.
From Forest and Stream
The genius displayed by ishhawIs in nest
building time is often wonderful leading per
sons to suspect that the mechanical calculations
of the bird equal to those of the average
human being. The hawks frequent forests and
groves fringing the waters of Narragansett Bay
to obtain material for building new nests and
repairing old ones. Rotten limbs of trees high
over ones head are heard swapping and
cracking.
This swapping of sticks is caused by fish
hawks. Mechanically they examine and break
off the limbs by sheer force, something that is
unique in the character of birds. \ hawk flying
about wheels short on its wings, having selected
a decayed stick that is suitable, on some oak
tree. Something after the fashion of tent peg
ging the hawk charges past and just above the
bough. Just az he IS passing the limb, with
great deXterity he hooks his claws upon it, and
without stopping in his flight. and with wings
Tapping furiOusly enough, bang goes the report
Of the breaking Of the rotten limb, and
tTiumphantly the feathered wonder carries TO
the nest the stick, sometimes four inches in
diameter and four and One-half feet long AL
though a rule the birds break off the limbs
at the first attempt. they have been seen to try
the operation on the same stick two and three
times before being successful In case the stick
is not broken off the first time they do not loose
their hold but INCREASINGLY flap their broad
wings in the air, eXhausting every measure
toward accomplishing their purpose.
Ordinarily their bodies not heavy as to
cause one to suspect that they could break off
such stout pieces of bOushs, but the momentum
carried in their flight they hook on to the
limb without Stopping almost invariably causes
their efforts to be crowned with success. The
loud Swapping noise OF the breaking of tree
branches by the hawks would lead person not
accustomed to their habits TO suppose that an
elephant was running amuck through the forest
OF about four feet in width and of a compact
structure the nests can withstand the fury OF
