Improved Propeller Blades.

Covering steel propeller blades with
thin sheet brass or copper to protect
them from corrosion has been sue
cessfully accomplished by an English
shipbuilding firm. The sheathing is
closely imbedded to the surface be
meath, with specially constructed
joints at the leading and following
edges of the blades. While the ex-
pertinent was made simply to over
come corrosion it has been found by
actual tests that the steamers of the
Clan Line which have had their pro-
pellers thus sheathed have shown con
siderably better speeds with less coal
consumption than sister vessels fitted
with cast iron propellers. This is
probably due to the decreased friction
of the water under the action of the
revolving blades.

Mosquitoes and Malaria.

In view of the recent attempts made
in New Jersey to destroy the mosqui.
toes by the use of petroleum on the
standing water of the lowlands, and
also on account of the experiments
made by experts in Cuba to show
that mosquitoes carried malarial and
fever germs, the report of Major Pen.
ton, principal medical officer of the
Soudan, is of especial interest. Only
a short time ago mosquitoes were SO
thick in his locality that the use of
nets to ward off the pests was a neces.
sity, but now these can be dispensed
with almost entirely. Several marshy
swamps surrounding the town have
been filed up by gangs of workmen,
thus leaving no breeding place for the
insects. With their disappearance
there has also been marked de-
crease in malarial fever. all the medi.
cal officers of the district agreeing
that this has been the healthiest year
on record, and it is probable that
when the work has been completed
malaria will have disappeared from
the region altogether.
