Leonardus calls jet 'black amber and
states that it possesses the peculiar
property of attracting to it. when rub

also tells us that the thin smoke pro-
duced by this friction of rubbing was
used by the ancient Britains for driv-

Nath ematics and Launcl,in~.

The launching of q vessel is prima-
rily a matter of mathematics In a
ship of immense size it calls for vast
amount of calculation before the first
step is taken in the actual work. In
the first place the specific gravity of
the vessel must be figured out so as to
allow for the various strains to which
the hull is subjected on it's slanting
journey into the water, with its sud.
den plunge as the bow drops from the
ways. An enormous amount of data
must be collected to fix this center Of
gravity. The weight of all the ma
terial that has gone into the vessel up
to the time of the launching. the dis
tribution of this weight, the weight of
chains and anchors and other material
placed on board preparatory to the
launch, must all be considered When
the center of gravity is fixed the sue
cessful shipbuilder knows just how to
build his launching ways and just
where to strengthen them. He knows
then by a little calculation how long
each part of the vessel will be sub
jected to certain strains and how best
to prepare for them. He can figure
almost to the second how long the
ship will be in sliding into the water
