 l Ii would certainly be interesting if the stan of James Watt experimental insti- tuition could make sufficiently long se-
 ries of observations to determine the M sv- craze or prevailing length or periodicity of waves in the channels surrounding the United Kingdom, as well as on the great oceans, with a view to assisting In the de- sign of the type of ship. both as regards length and lines, which would give the
 greatest comfort in rough weather. It would be possible. for instance. to ascer, tain exactly the effect Of pitching on vari- ous sections at the entry, and to deter m inc the relative advantages of Wand U sections-whether they conduce to. or re- duce, pitching motion. Having determin- ed this, 1t would be desirable. in the case of channel steamers, where high speed is wanted, to ascertain by tank experiments the effect of such variation of section on the speed of the ship. A kindred ques- ton has reference to the cutting away of the forefoot, and its effect on turning on speed, and on pitching.
 A point which might be considered with profit to the sea voyager Is the influence of a high beam wind on a ship with open deckwork Even with ordinary channel StcdIucTS ~ ID OCCOAAiAhB thC AdoItuu tO have one or two promenade decks above the molded dimensions of the ship. while in Atlantic liners three such decks are now adopted, and our experience suggests that such openwork forms extensive pockets for the wind. with the result that the Amplitude of rolling is increased more than would be the case if the wind could escape. as is the case with ship having no such open work above the molded structure. The turret ship and the whaleback ship were introduced to overcome a somewhat kindred problem re- sulting from the action of sea water in the wells" It has been shown that with a sideiong wind the pressure on railway trains increases materially with the num- Der of wagons used. because of the "pock- eting'' of the wind between the wagons. Thus. with trains of the same capacity, but fitted in one case with fifty-ton wag- ons. and In the other with ten-ton wag- ons. thereby greatly adding to the num- Der, the wind pressure was increased l50 per cent It would be interesting, adds Engineering, to know to what extent the propulsive efficiency of a ship is decreased and the amplitude of rolling increased by such high deck structures

EFFECT OF WAVES ON SHIPS.
What Causes the Rolling and Pitch
 ing of Vessels.

In an article on problems in naval archi- lecture. Engineering of London refers to the important question whether hollow or straight lines confer the greatest advan-
 tage in a ship If hollow line warship pitches more than straight-line ship her
 guns cannot be fired with the same de- gree of accuracy as would otherwise be
 the case. This is more important where bow fire Is being utilized to the fullest ex- tent in chasing fight. when the cruiser must make her best speed The question therefore to be determined is as to wheth- CT these hollow lines confer an advan- tage in speed to compensate for the al- legged tendency toward increased pitching. The contention is made that even in Channel steamers, where length is also restricted owing to the limited dimensions of harbors. 1t has not been found neces- sary to adopt hollow lines. A factor in the pitching of the ship is the relation of the length of the ship to the length or period of the wave; and in the design of British cruisers attention Is said to be given to the fact that the waves in the English Channel-the probable avenue of our naval actions of the future-are much shorter than in the Atlantic, and that con-

 cry of John Baptist. Prepare ye the

 zation of the great principles which un-

THE GATE BEAUTIFUL.
BY yoHN wARp sTrMsoN.

This is indeed a vital and practical con. tribution to the thought and art of the
 new Century. It Is supremely import.
 ant work on the Fundamental relations of Science. Art and Religion; it is also a practical guide to the successful cul- ture of Art. 1t touches the problem of
 the higher industrial life of our people; and much of the energy now absorbed in
 repeated conflicts of capital with labor could be profitably expended in spread ing these ideals and thoughts and teach
 ings in the minds of all classes. Indeed l when the many become imbued with these facts and ideals there will cease to
 be selfish conflicts of men against men, and rivalries will be those seeking to know more of the Infinite Artist. more of
 His designs and methods. and more and better ways of diffusing these through out the everyday life of all humanity. lover of Art becomes lover of his
 kind. and it is surely seen how quickly
 differences between employers and em- pioyes yield to sympathetic arbitration. Such far-reaching instruction deserves extended notice.
 The book is printed from the press of Albert Brandt. Trenton. in two editions. one paper one cloth, and is all that could be required in mechanical detail and ar tlStlC H tS WOhuCfAutty AAtSSa
 with copious reproductions from pie
 lures and drawings of the Masters.
 It is divided into two main sections
 Theoretical and Practical-the first ap-
 pealing to a more general public interest in Nature as a whole. as the great
 Studio of God. The second ap-
 peals to teachers, students. artists and
 artisans. for whose instruction the sec
 ton is condensed and ornamented with many charts and drawings.
 The book sets forth the stupendous fact of Divine Beauty, and suggests the persistence and pervasiveness. the pres ence and power of the Immortal Spirit; 1t shows how vitaiizing is this Spirit. and how precious are the principles thus revealing their source in varying forms and lovely examples.
 The author is known to many in Mont gomery, and the sorrowful romance of his life is woven of threads vibrant with our loveliest and most tender memories. He Is also known to thinkers and art students of the world as a teacher with the enthusiasm which mounts to genius.
 He is burning with the ardor of high
 ideal and with the love of infusing beau
 ty among his fellows.
 A fruitful suggestion appearing soften in his instruction is that the Artisan
 should be an Artist, that every product of the hand should be as beautiful as Is
 consistent with its utility. and that
