A BANQUET AT AUaUsTANA
Will be Heard in a Concert at Pro =
pect Park-Itinerary
of Trip.

The Students Singing society of the
University of Lund. Sweden, is on the
way to America and to the ST. Louis
fair, where June -, Swedish day. a
concert will he given. This excellent
chorus, representing the best of the
culture and intelligence IF Sweden,
will visit Rock Island and Moline July
:. \ concert will he given i'm Prospect
park the evening of that day.
Hitherto the student concert tours
of America Of Swedish singing classes
have been undertaken from Upsala
university. but this time the Lundcn-
slams have taken up the enterprise.
and they have done it with great en-
thuSiasm. During the winter they have
been giving concerts to help provide
the funds and in this way they raised
upward of a thousand crowns Added
10 this are $4,000 crowns guaranteed
from individual sources. And in addi-
ton a fund of $1,000 for the same pur-
pose has been raised i'm America 1t
Is told On good authority that the
proceeds of the whole tour will be do
mated to the fund now being gathered
in Sweden for endowing Il professors
chair at Augustana college. Upsala
has recently sent out choruScs of 100
voices. But from Lund the number
will be smaller and effort will he made
to more than make up in quality what
Il lacking i'm numbers Stringent re
quirements as to vocal resources were
placed on those undertaking the trip.
Forty Numbers in Repertoire.
The repertoire includes about forty
numbers, among which are to be found
compositions by LindbIad. Kicrulf
Wennerhcr". S"dcrman. Gricg. Refs

songs. "IIor oss. Svea.' and 'Rrude-
faerden / Hardanger," by which the

Of course on the program of the Lun-
densianS. Among greater compositions
are specially to he mentioned Sober
mans "BundbrolIop' and Korling's
"Stcn Sure" The choicest patriotic
hymns. fo,k-songs and serenades are
also to be found in the collection.

SECOND SPIRAL FITTED.
"a second spiral fitted over the cone and
which is bent inwardly and has two revo-
luiiors. acts as a centrifugal pump blade
and drives away the surrounding liquids to
open the track for the ship. The pressure
OF the Prov angles of the ship is done
away with. ami il Gashes forward. or is
sucked forward. in the wake OF the cone.
IF the ship moves her whole enGth in
less time than Is required there will be a
suction counter to the centripetal rea ct;on
for filing up the void created. The length
must. therefore. be calculated go as to
correspond to the vacuum created by the
typhoonoid.'
In my experiments on August is of this
year found that the ship will have to be
shaped something like a swollen sugar
loaf. 1t will be partially or totally under
water
"Of course such a speed as 1000 Kill
metres an hour Will frishten people. But
so were they frightened a hundred years
ago when men spoke OF going 100 kilo-
metres an hour.

special apparatus acting BY centrifugal
boring and pneumatic traction in front OF
the ship.
SCREW AS A PROPELLER
THE screw placed at tho stern of SLIPS
is generally admitted to be the most ef.ic..-
cious propeller hitherto invented. Never
theie,s, even under the most favorable
circumstances. less than one-four1h of the
actual energy expended by the screw is
used to help the forward motion Of the
ship. The rest produces other motions of
the surrounding liquid which are all con-
trary to the one desired.
LAS the ship progresses it displaces an
equal mass of liquid. and. taking into ac-
count lateral friction and all the other op-
posing forces to ships forward move
nent, as ships are built at the present day.
the force producing the desired motion Is
reduced to about one twenty fifth part Of
the generating force.
Taking. for instance. great ocean
liner ike the Deutschland. with $500 horse
power. it will be found on calculation that
sometimes called waste more than 3s,OO1
horse power and use only about 1900
horse power for the desired forward mo-
ton.
1T must also be observed that the blades
Of the screw when revolving and the for
ward movement Of the ship cause vacu-

the more important this vacuum becomes.
as well as all the other opposing forces.
and IL Is well known that n ship going
eighteen knots an hour is obliged to doub. e
its fuel expenditure to add two or three
knots to its speed
TO obviate all these drawbacks. the
principal of which are unquestionably
'cavitation' and the resistance at the bow.
and to convert them into factors OF for
ward progression. have devised a special
apparatus which l call 'typhoonoid' be-
cause 1t creates the same phenomena as a
waterspout into which the ship rushes
The 'typhoonoid' is connected with the
ship by means of a driving shaft. which
Is set In motion by turbine engine. The
apparatus consists of an outside protecting
part OF the shaft constituting a cone the
Inside Of which covers the bow Of the ship.
Its length is equal to the circumference
OF the base.
This cone is encircled By hel.co.d or
spira. contrivance which extends from the
base to the vertex and Its attached to the
projecting shaft. The spiral. or screw, is
moved in such a way as to remove its
outer surface away from the water, with
which 1t is In contact while at rest, and
this surface acts consequently as an air

Paris. Dec 17-NIandre Ganbin. residing <
at No. 5 Rue PelonZe, who has been study
ing for many years how to revo.ut!onize
navigation. says that he has made a dis
covory which will make II possible for
ships to 20 at the rate OF 800 knots or Leo
kilometres an hour with the same ease as
they now 70 eighteen or twenty miles an
hour.
He has given his discovery a tangible

and to bui.d them according to new de-
signs on strictly scientific principles. The
new boats are to be called pneumatic

DISPATCH that it is more than
likely that teams representing
that institution and the Univer-
sity Of Alabama at Tuscaloosa
will meet here ia football con
test next Saturday. Oct. 18th.
Both teams are anxious to come
to Columbus, and if satisfactory
arrangement can be made the
game will certainly be played
here 1t is also possible that
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College and the University of Mis-
sissippi teams will line up on
the local gridiron on Saturday,
Oct. 20. the day following the fair,
and game between the Agri-

The only game of football
played here last season was the
contest between the Agriculture
al and Mechanical College and
the University of Alabama,
which occurred during the
progress of the county fair and
which was witnessed by an
enormous crowd of spectators.
The people of Columbus seem to
be fond of the sport and the
