TWO MILES A MINUTE
SPEED OF ENGINES THAT pRIvr
FAST AUTO BOATS.
Propellers Driven with Trsmsndous
Rapidity-Mechanis OF Mo-
tive Power Must Be
Perfect

When one OF the fast auto boats is
dashing through the water al the rate OF
from 20 TO 25 miles an hour the propeller
wheel revolves from 500 to / ESQ times In
a minute When the number OF revolu-
tions is stated one rarely comprehends
what 1t means
In boat OF high power the propeller
Will be % inches in diameter This means
that It's periphery is a little over six
feet.
IL this screw reyolves at the rate of
1-2SO times a minute the outer edge OF
the blades Of the propeller are cutting
through the water at the rate Of Just
one and one-third miles a minute.
These propellers are not fat II they
were they would have 10 purchase on
the water and the boat would not move
an inch. To give them a grip on the
water each blade is twisted slightly
like a spiral and this twist Increases
the stretch OF the blade beyond its cir
cumference by about IL so that what
marine engineers call the helicoid path
of the propeller would he very nearly
two miles in q minute
This remarkable speed Is produced by
q motor that is only IS inches wide. 40
inches long and Al inches high. II de-
velops a horse power of about s5.
The propellers which drive the fast
Atlantic liners are about IS feet In cir
conference. The tip OF the blade will
cover about a mile and fifth each min
ute when revolving AT full speed.
The cruiser Minneapolis. which Is one
of the fastest in the navy. has propellers
AS feet in circumference. They make
132 revolutions minute. 30 that the tip
OF the blade when Criven at full speed Is
travelling at the rate of 1886 feet each
minute. and the helicoid path. or the dis
tanee covered by the spiral twist of the
blade. is $50 feet a minute. or more
than a mile and a half.
The Minneapolis and the ocean liners
are driven by steam, but in the fast auto
boats gasoline is the motive power.
II can be understood to what a nicely
the mechanism in a gasoline engine Is
adjusted when II is stated that TO make
900 revolutions minute means that In
q four cycle engine. there are 500 spray:
OF gasoline forced into the cylinder. 500
times the electric battery makes 9
spark and 500 times the escape valve
is opened to let the gas out.
II there are four cylinders at work or
the sameshaft. and many Of the fast boat
have four cylinders. then each operation
is repeated four times. Some motor,
have eight cylinders and one Is now be
ing built that will have IL cylinders Il
| is figured that a motor uses a pint o
gasoline for each horsepower an hour
An eight horsepower motor will use !,
| gallon Of gasolene an hour and will cos
about 16 or IL cents an hour to run 4
24-horsepower motor will take three gal
Ions an hour. which will make the cos
about so cents an hour.
There is a motor boat now being bull
that Is to have 5OO-horsepower motor
This motor will consume about SO gal
Ions Of gasoline an hour. and IL run 70
ten hours a day. will cost more than 50

THE CAUSE OF PNEUMONIA.
Increased Use Of Soft Coal Declared
to Be an Important Factor in
Prevalence of Disease.

DR. c. A Lindsey. secretary of the
Connecticut board OF health. says in
the monthly bulletin. referring to
pneumonia:
Fog. which is combination of dust
and moisture. affects the health of
large communities in q marked degree.
This is notably true OF cities as COM
pared with the country. because In
cities the fog is so largely composed of
carbon from the combustion Of coal.
There is no reason to doubt that the
increased use Of soft coal this winter
has been an important factor in the
prevalence OF pneumonia.
Live properly. Indulge in no ex-
cesses in eating. and especially in
drinking. Keep the feet dry and warm.
Dress comfortably according to the
temperature. Avoid unnecessary ex-
posures and take care OF early symp-
toms Pneumonia is a communicable
disease and the sputum OF pneumonia
patients should be destroyed as care
fully as that Of -consumptives'
