xsu yyarshin Is Tested.

The expectations OF the naval OIL
cials were more than eQualed in the
sneed trial of the new battleship Ala
hama recently. The floating fighting
machine covered the prescribed course
in such remarkable time that the title,
Queen of the Navy" has been con-
ferred upon her. An average speed o.
II knots per hour was made for a Pc
riod of four hours. Although this speed
is not as remarkable as that made by
the Iowa, still the performance of the
Alabama is considered phenomenal.
During the trial the craft was not
overworked, and after finishing the
course was pronounced in good condl-
ton. Five sister ships, the Massachu-
sets, Indiana, Kentucky, Texas, and
Kearsage, were used as stake boats in
the trial A triangular course was ar
ranged and the spectacle was witness
ed-by many people. The vessel is the
product of American shipbuilders. II
was constructed by the Cramps al
Philadelphia and guaranteed to do al
least 16 knots per hour. The tria
showed that she could do II without
trouble, and 1t is thought that the timt

The experiments in regard to the
influence Of the different parts OF
the sunlight upon the growth OF
plants have been carried on for sever
al years, especially by the famous bot

of the sunlight especially favored the
growth of plants and flowers. Such
investigations have now been again
taken up by NJ. Camille Flammarion'
