ELECTRICITY ON WARSHIPS
Russian Government Has Plan TO De.
termine It's Effects on Me-
tallic Hulls

Electricity is so largely used on the
modern warship that naval officers have
exhibited some concern lest there be
deterioration of the metallic hull and
framework from electrolysis. 1t would
seem that by avoiding grounding" on
the hull and by high-class insulation
this apprehension would be allayed. but
in some quarters the fear continues to
exist. In consequence of il the Russian
admiralty has determined on curious
experiment. For reason beyond its con-
troll, the cars government is rather
short on war vessels just at present.
and seven torpedo boats are now build
Ing for service in the far east. The
Elektritcheskip Viestnik-an esteemed
contemporary-reports that one of these
will be fitted exclusively for oil light
ing, while the others will be lighted by
electricity. Thus, in practical way an
opportunity will be given to observe the
alleged deleterious effect of the existence
OF electric current on shipboard. But
the experiment will be rather hard ON
the officers and crew Of the oil-Iighted
ship. Further notice Of the test should
be given to the gentlemanly Japs. that
at least one Of the electric-lighted boats
and the oil-lighted boats be protected bv
amlcable agreement, from the proiec-
tiles OF rapid-fire guns, which are even
more dangerous than electrolysis.
