Captain Folger Of the Kearsarge
says that electricity does nearly
everything on that battleship except
to cali the roll and scrub the decks.
Sixty different motors of 4S0 horse
power and $50 kilowatts furnish power
for every device that was formerly
operated by steam. The ship is wired
on the three wire system, so that the
motors can be operated at two volt
ages-160 and 1S0-which is anal
ogous to the use of 100 and $50 pounds
OF steam On the previous group Of
battleships-the Indiana, the Massa-
chusetts and the Oregon class-the
motors are only 96 horse power and
~ kilowatts. On English ships the
use of electricity is still confined to
incandescent lights, searchlights and
signal apparatus, but upon the Kear
sarge and the Kentucky steam pipes
are almost entirely abolished. All
this makes it necessary for the Of
ficers and sailors of the navy to have
a thorough knowledge of the electrical
science, and schools of instruction
both for officers and enlisted men, with
electrical workshops, have been estab-
lished at Newport and at the navy
yards in New York City. Boston. Nor
folk and San Francisco.

An exceptionally important paper
dealing with the FRACTIONAL effect OF
railway trains upon the air has recent
ly been published by the st. Louis
Academy of Science. This inxestiga,
ton was undertaken by Professor f.
E. Nipher, at the request of leading
railroad, and was the sequel of law
suit in which the railroad was defeated.
In the case referred to boy, standing
near the track, was overth:own by a
rapidly passing train, rolled under the
wheels and killed. The evidence
showed that he was not struck by the
train, but was overwhelmed by the air
suction and dragged under. The SUI
preme court OF Missouri, however, re-
pudiated the evidence of two leading
scientific men as to the probability OF
death being caused in such way, and
denied by inference, the possibility of
such effects, with which everybody who
has ever stood by fast moving train
is familiar. The investigation showed,
as matter of fact, that with trains
going at the rate of 40 miles an hour,
there is an inward pressure of the air
of from four to six pounds per square
foot at distance of 80 inches from the
train, and that still air is reached only
at distance of many feet.

With a navy already about equal to
the combined navies of any other two
powers, Great Britain has ordered
work begun during the present year
on three battleships, six armored cruis-
ers, two third-class cruisers, ten tor
pedo boat destroyers, five torpedo
boats, two sloops Of war and five sub
marine boats. That Hague disarma-
ment agreement seems to have acted
like a movement to reduce the cot
ton acreage.

One of the disadvantages of mo-
tor driven ambulances has been that
they do not get the right of way as
easily as horse driven vehicles. The
familiar changing of the ambulance
gong and the sound of the Gathering
hoofs of the horses was always sure
to clear the way promptly for an am
bulance. Now the ambUlances have
been provided with electric lights
which do not differ materially from
those which other electric vehicles car
ry, and the result is that trucks or
wagons do not get out of the way as
quickly. 1t has been suggested that
compressed air whistles or larger
gongs might be used A return to the
old foot gong would probably obviate
the difficulty to a certain extent.

Professor Vines of the British asso-
citation expressed recently his regret
that the century had closed without
cussed question of the ascent OF sap.
One of the suggested explanations, he
said, requires that in a tree 100 feet
in height the Transportation of force
must equal a pressure of 800 pounds
to the square inch, but there is no
evidence that anything like such a
force exists in a tree. This is one of
the problems in science that the 18th
century has bequeathed to the goth.
