MIGRATORY PHENOMENA.
When the great express steamers were
put on the Atlantic service IL was noticed
that from time to time the ships vibrations
would increase without apparent cause.
The ship might be steaming through COM
paratively quiet seas, but the shaking and
quaking OF the deck would manifest itself
at intervals until it might send score Of
passengers below with all the distressing
symptoms Of seasickness. Careful observa-
ton, however, showed that such excessive
vibrations took place when the twin en-
gines got to running in unison, so that
when one engine raced ahead Of the other
the vibration was again decreased. When
fast torpedo boats were built there was a
similar trouble and Yarrow. the famous
English shipbuilder, learned by expert
ment that just as a violin string has a Ger
tain number OF vibrations a minute which
determines its note, so also a ship vibrates
in accordance with its own natural time
and is most seriously affected when the
revolutions Of its engines coincide with that
time or any Of its multiples or submuIti-
pies. For example. If the greatest vibra-
ton is noticed when the engines arr max
ing 600 revolutions a minute, the vibration
will be less at so or 200 than at 100 OF so
revolutions. In other words, just as the
open string Of a piano may be made 70
vibrate by the sound OF the corresponding
note, or as a bridge or a buildin@ may be
Jared by certain musical chords or ryth-
metic impulses, 80 a ship responds 10 its
engines when they are IN time, one
might almost say 10 its own musical key
But even so simple an expedient as the
changing OF the angle or the propeller
blades Is sometimes effective in reducing a
vibration which at high speed seems likely
10 shake the ship TO pieces.
In discussing these various phenomena n
Is noted that in addition 20 the vertical VI
brations caused by the engines a ship may
also have horizontal vibrations resulting
from the Stating OF connecting rods. or

paratively new. and IL may be expected
that further Investigations viii bring out

Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal

Correspondence Of the indianapolis Journal.
BOSTON, Nov. Mot all seasickness is
due TO the rolling Of the ocean; much OF it
is caused by the ship itself-if it be
steamship, that Island comes from the vi
bratiOns of the engines. Some interesting
studies have recently been made of these
vibrations, among others by Prof. Cecil II.
Peabody, of the department of naval archi-
lecture at the Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology. In these studies, queerly
enough, the phenomena of seasickness are
found to be most easily explained by refer
ence to the phenomena of music, with the
result that an entirely scientific parallel
has been established between the steel hull
Of a thirty-knot torpedo boat vibrating
under the strain Of her vertical inverted,
triple-expansion'' engines, and a violin
piano string, vibrating TO the touch Of the
bow or key.
The comparison between the violin string
and the steamship will be easier TO under
stand by introducing still third factor.
long bar of steel such as may be found in
any blacksmith's shop, which may repre-
sent either the string or the steel hull. If
this steel bar is laid on two saw-horses or
some other convenient support, one near
either end. and struck with a hammer. it
gives out a musical note comparable to
that of the violin string when ii is touched
by the resined bow. II a. man viii contrive
to stand on bar Of sufficient length he
can produce such vibrations by jumping up
and down, If he times his jumping SO as TO
allow his full weight 10 coincide with the
downward rather than with the upward
bending of the bar. Should the man stand
astride Of one OF the supports and then
move the bar after the manner Of a seesaw,
by alternating his weight from one foot TO
the other, he will also give il trembling
motion which may be compared TO the vi
brations OF violin string under the pres
sure OF the players finger. Under these
stresses both the string and the bar will
have what are called In the language OF
