BOAT WITH UMBRELLA SAIL

builder says the chief feature of the
cyclone sail, which is practically large
umbrella, is that the wind pressure on
it has no effect whatever to incline the
boat. Roughly speaking, the pull of the
sail is at right angles to its mean sur
face-that is to say, in the direction Of
the mast.
In other words, it may be described
as kite held by rigid string. If the
mast were stepped quite on the lee side
of the boat, it is evident that the sail
would lift the lee side and so list the
boat to windward; and if the mast were
stepped on the weather side, lifting the
weather side of the boat, it would neces-
sarily list the boat to leeward. 1t fol-
lows then that there is some certain
point which happens to be slightly on
the lee side of the center line, at which,
if the mast is stepped, there will be no
tendency for the wind to careen the
boat at all. When actually sailing in
the boat, the only way in which one is
aware OF puff of wind is by noticing
that the boat travels faster and eXperi-

that coming from the acceleration Of
the engines in a steamer. For sailing
with the wind in different directions to
the boat the whole mast and sail are ro-
tated by means of turn-table, to which
the mast is attached, and the mast is ele-
waited and lowered by means of two
tackles. There is also balance weight
which helps to elevate the mast and bal
ance its dead weight.
"The Thornycrofts, the great English
boat builders, are experimenting in the
/, expectation that the umbrella sail can
be adapted to rowboats, canoes and other
small craft"

LESSON FROM sUNBEAMs.
The Microscope Far Outdone by am
Instrument Invented by Two
German Professors.

The sunbeam's visible dust particles
have taught lesson to scientists, and
the result is an instrument far beyond
the microscope in power. What this
will mean in the study OF germs of dis
case and as an aid to the medical world
can hardly be calculated
Profs. Siedentopf and Zsigmondy,
of Jena university are the discover
ers Of the new method of microscopic
observation whereby ultramicroscopic
particles are rot only made visible
but can also be studied with view of
determining their size.
The method consists mainly in pow
erful artificial illumination of the parti-
cles to be observed. These particles, be-
cause of their minuteness, exert no
material influence upon the vibratory
period of the light waves, and hence ap-
pear to the observer as self-illuminat-
ing, or luminous objects, by virtue OF
their reflected light. Since, however, the
reflected light is weaker than the orig
inal Illuminating beam. it is necessary,
in order to secure the advantages of an
intensified illumination of the particles,
to employ the principle of dark field IL
Elimination.
The principle involved in this new
method is we'll illustrated by the COM
mon phenomena Of the visible sun
beam" in darkened room which is
penetrated by ray of light. Dust parti-
cles in the path of the ray, hitherto
invisible, become visible when the eye
| of the observer is at right angles to the
direction OF the penetrating ray.
Helmholiz, the greatest physicist living
at the time of the microscope now in use
was perfected, declared the limit of mi
croscopic perception to be LIS, 600 of an
inch. This new instrument will make
possible the study of bodies seven to tsE
times smaller.

THE SHORT MADE TALL.
English Professor Add. Inches t,
stature of Men by Unique
Process. Of Stretching.

The attention of the English people
was called to the fact not long ago that
the stature of English soldiers gradu-
ally was decreasing. The house Of
lords Immediately appointed COM
mission to. inquire into the facts in the
case, but even the house did not eX-
pect to be able to remedy it if it
should prove to be so.
If some member Of the house should
arise and announce there was great
scarcity of sunshine in the British
isles the house would Immediately APP
point commission to inquire into the
matter.
That's because it's customary. In the
stature proposition the commission did
not expect to accomplish much, for has

out reckoning on a certain Prof At
kinson who was to come after him.
The professor also discovered that the
British soldier was falling off in point
of inches and decided that he should be
stretched and palled out to the neces-
sary height
When the Boer war fell upon Eng
land it became fashionable to enlist
and fight and bleed for the country's
sake. Unfortunately for number OF
young fashionables anxious 10 bleed
they did not come up to the standard
of inches prescribed by the British re-
cruiting officers.
These unfortunate fashionables
] could not obtain commissions because
they were not tall enough. That is
where Prof. Atkinson stepped in.
1t is said that 400 cadets passed
through his pulling process and that
$50 feet were added to the English
army by the method. 1t is said that he
charges 500 an inch, and that clients
as a rule pay about $500, having five
inches added to their height.
Most of his clients have been cadets
from Sandhurst and Woolwich. Many

signaling beneath the waves.

There has recently been put in oper-
alton at Boston system of signaling
beneath the waves to vessels approach
ing dangerous shores during fog2y
weather. The apparatus consists Of two
receivers, located on either side of the
ship below the water line, and connect
ed by wires to the wheelhouse, where a
telephone box is placed. The signals
from shore are given by striking sub
merged bell at regular intervals. When
the observer wishes to ascertain his To-
cation he takes the ear piece, and by
moving the switch either to the right
or left soon ascertains upon which side
the bell will be found. The value of a
system of this nature is at once appar-
ent when it is borne in mind that fogs
frequently obscure the most powerful
lights, and that certain atmospheric
conditions during stormy. weather rem
