in a solid bearing. where the friction is re-
duced to the minimum. The ideal condt-
ton, therefore, would be to obtain reac-
ton without setting the air in motion at all.
It is pointed out that q reaction from the
air depending upon it's inertia increases In
some undetermined ratio with the velocity
with which 1t Is acted upon.
The distinction between the principle of a
propeller designed to strike against fresh
sections of air at each moment OF advance
and one built to revolve in the same posi-
uon is the essential difference between an
airship screw and a fan-blower or a wind
mill. In the latter case number of blades
are used to advantage, but with the aerial
give the best results. The most efficient
propeller Is that which sets in motion the
least air instead Of setting in motion the
greatest amount, as in the case of a fam
ley has made his flying machine propellers
with only two blades. He has demon
strated that many blades following each
other rapidly strike against air whose In
ertia has already yielded to the blades just
in advance, the resistance being therefore
greatly lessened. But where there are only
two blades the resistance from inertia Is
much greater.
In the several experiments with the pro-
pellers while the airship wsts on the launch
ing car the best results could not possibly
be expected. because 1t was necessary to
work them as though they had been OF the
stationary variety Only in actual hori-
zontal advance can the afrship screws give
trouble experienced was due largely te, this
reason.

AERIAL PRoPELLERs.
Theories Upset by tho Langley-Manly
Buzzard.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
WIDEWATER, va. September 17.-In de-
termining the design for the propeilers now
used on the Langley flying machine the in
ventor was guided by the conclusions reach
cd throughout a series Of exhaustive ex-
periments with various methods of aerial
propulsion. Although the operation of the
airship screws Is still experimental, in many
respects the scientists are now In posi-
ton to make exact calculations as to the
power furnished by the propellers at GER
in actual flight. IN relation to the velocity
and the horizontal resistance to be over
come. 1t is now simply matter of math-
ematical process with the scientists to de-
termine the actual efficiency of the pro-
pelling apparatus-that Is to say, the ratio
of useful work done to the power expended
by the motor. OF course, the constant aim
Is to get the percentage OF useful work as
close as possible to the unit representing
the power put out.
As in the case of marine propellers, there
Is bound to be a certain total loss of eff
cheney which Is technically known as
Slip. This, 1t Is figured, will be constant
~ reduced In percentage with the increase
OF horizontal velocity. A reason for such a
conclusion Is that for its economical use
the power expended on and obtained from q
propeller should be directed with each rev.
olution Of q blade against masses OF air
portance attaching to momentary supply
of fresh material for the best work of the
screws can hardly be overeStimated. Prof.
Langley has found that the best aerial pro-
peller Is, theoretically. one that gIides
through the cir very much as screw does

and on being told said that he would go
out and return later in the evening. He
had come to the house In a stylish convey
ance, which he left at the door. He said
1t was his property and that he owned q
number of others, and was anxious to md q
good livery stable for his horses.
He was on time for supper, but ate very
little, leaving the dining room in advance
of any of the other guests. The first time
he called the new boarder told Miss Deeble
that his name was Boyd, but he informed
the maid that it was Culverson. As the
other dodgers came out of the dining room
Boyd came down from his room and left
the house and drove away in IS rig, which
was waiting at the front door.
After dinner was over Miss Deeble visited
her room on the third floor and found that
her writing desk had been broken open and
a roll of bills amounting to S100 was MISS
ing from a pigeon hole.
The police were notified. The man Is de.
scribed as being smooth-shaven, with a

POOR GRADE OF LIGHT.
Complaint Made Regarding Naphtha
Street Lamps in Brookland.

NtTeeC LAMPS III 6TOOR1auQ.
E. P. Ellis, secretary of the Brookland
Citizens Association, has written to the
District Commissioners calling attention to
the poor quality Of naphtha street lighting
under the contract for the current fiscal
year Mr. Ellis says:
There have been many complaints from
residents Of Brookland relative to the
poor quality of light from the naptha street
lamps. since they were furnished with in
candescent mantles. When giving out their
full power. the lamps are vastly superior to
those equipped with the old style burner.
But, unfortunately very few of them are
in good working order, and many Of them
refuse altogether to burn. On the average,
at least one fourth Of the lights are COM
pletely extinguished. and about half of the
balance give less light than the old burner
did.
Whether the fault Is due to the mantle
itself. or to unskilful adjusting, which lat
Tar I suspect to be the real cause Of the
troGhl1. the result Is the same-we are not
getting the light that we need and which 1t
was the intention to give us when the lamps
were erected We appreciate your efforts
to increase the power Of the lamps, but
nevertheless, unless the lighting as 1t Is
at present can be improved upon, our asso-
citation would prefer to have the incandes-
cent mantleS removed and the old-style
burner used
The matter will be referred to the cleo
trical and lighting department This de-
partment has been giving close scrutiny
to the naphtha lighting service Of late.
The officials have even gone so far as to
take the Commissioners into the county
to see the conditions as they actually
exist. The lighting department was over
ruled in the matter Of the award Of the
contract by the Commissioners.

George W. Fletcher, colored, was fined

Dan Bradley. colored, was in court be-
cause he declined to take Policeman Cats
advice and remain away from the dis

Liquor Is the cause of his trouble, and

Judge Bundy.

ored man said
The testimony was against him and he
will not be at liberty again for thirty days
unless he pays $40 to the District.
John Early, about sixty years old. ce-
ment worker, was only released from the
workhouse Tuesday afternoon after spend
ing two months there. His imprisonment
evidently had no effect on him, because he
began drinking again yesterday morning.
and last night was found by Policeman
Norris holding up pedestrians on Pennsyl-
vania avenue for money with which to-
buy whisky. Il
IT was only half drunk, but didn't ask
any one for money" he explained. His
denial was of no avail and the courts de-
cision was forty dollars or six months"

nor was Prof. Manly able to get from there

last night by the mechanics. which explains
why they were caught on board the house
boat this morning without breakfast. Final
ly, about Ii o'clock the wind died down
slightly and the tug reached the mechanics.

ing the storm the naphtha launch was blown
away from its anchorage near the house
boat. The anchor caught mile or SO up
the river, and the craft escaped serious

The other boats were injured and the
houseboat fortunately held her anchorage
The thermometer showed the wind blowing
about thirty miles an hour. The storm pre-
cluded the possibility Of an attempted

Defendants In Police Court Charged
With Imbibinr Too Freely.

With Imbtbtng Too Freely.
The too frequent use of liquor In large
quantities was the principal cause assigned
for the appearance Of a majority Of the
unfortunates in Judge Bundyts branch of
the Police Court today.
Sandy Coates, a very tall colored man,
attired in working clothes. was In the dock
west last night.
He insisted in stopping pedestrians On
the street and telling them his troubles" a
policeman reported to the court. HE
stopped me. and when told him he had
better go home he wanted to fight, SO
just locked him up
do you want to say anything7" the
court asked Coates.
Yes, SIR"
''Well, what is it7''
II don't know what to say" he declared.
The court had something to say, and It
was Five dollars or fifteen days" Coates
stepped back.
Theodore Scribner who is no stranger
in police circles because of his fondness
for intoxicants and the numerous times
which he has been locked up paid his re-
spects to Judge Bundy. Theodore, the
court was told, was on the White Lot yes
terday afternoon with jag" Of generous
proportions, and 1t was with much difficult
ty that he was able to navigate.
I'm guilty." Theodore admitted
He was given the privilege of paying an
assessment of IS or spending half a month
in the workhouse as the equivalent. Theo-
