FUTURE SEAS SPEED.
Emiciency of Steam Power Afforded by
the Turbine System.

the Turbine System.
Prof. Thurston, the greatest Ewing
authority on the steam engine, has re-
Gently given it forth as his opinion
that the steam turbine Of the Parsons
or De Laval type combines within it.
self the greatest simplicity and the
highest thermal efficiency of any form
of steam power. Such statement as
this from an authority of the weight
of Prof. Thurston must be somewhat
disconcerting to Mr.. Thorneycroft and
others, who have staked their reputa-
ton on the inherent superiority of the
reciprocating engine. When we add
to Prof Thurston's declaration the fact
that the Parsons Marine Steam Tur-
bine company has contracted for riv
er steamer 250 feet long for Clyde SER
vice, and that they are contemplating
the construction of large deep-sea
boat, the prospect of the new means
of marine propulsion exemplitied in the
Turbinia and the Viper would seem to
have a brilliant future. But there is
another side Of the picture. Surprising
that, in face of a multitude of current
predictions, an oceanic turbine vessel
would be so economical as to have
room for cargo during her voyage, as
we'll as coal, and be able to thrash
her way across the Atlantic at the
speed threatened us in the near future,
would tie rivets of the vessel stand the
strain Of the conclusive force implied
in forcing vessel through seas at the
rate of even thirty knots an hour? E1-
perienced marine sages say that no
vessel could be built that would Iold
together under such conditions.-Lon

Officials of Camden, N. T., Take Ac-
 ton In the Matter.
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19. = The alarm that has been caused by the nine cases of tetanus following vaccination in Camden, N. J., has aroused the city officials there to take prompt action in the matter. The board of health and the board of education each held meet ings yesterday. The former decided to request physicians to cease vaccinating persons until an. investigation as to the cause of the lockjaw cases Y.as been made, and the latter resell a1sd the or der of compulsory vaccination of all schoolchildren.- Of the nine cases of te- tanus so far reported seven of the vic tims have died, and the other two are still in dangerous condition.
 The board of health appointed com- mittee of three to act in conjunction with the county physician and make a complete investigation of the whole matter. Dr. H. H. Davis, president of the board, in stating the purpose of the call, said he did not believe that vacci- nation was the direct cause of tetanns, but as the city was thoroughly aroused and the people were looking to the board of health for some action he be- lieved something should be done.
 There have been several cases of te- tanus following vaccination reported in Philadelphia, but no official action has been taken The question of compulso- " vaccination of school children and teachers has been taken to the courts and resulted in a verdict in favor of vaccination. The case was that of a girls high school teacher who refused to be yaccinated. She was suspended by the school board, and she carried her case to court. The board was sus- tained, and the teacher was dismissed from the services of the city. She took an appeal to the supreme court.
 At Bridgeton, N J., Miss Hilda Ro- cap, well known music teacher, is in critical condition as a result of vacci- nation. Miss Recap few days ago was vaccinated on one of her limbs. The whole side of her body became paralyzed, and she is suffering greatly. A specialist at Philadelphia has been sent for to make an examination.
