WHAT THE APPOINTMENT MEANS.


With regard to the new French Minister OF War.
advent to Office means the reduction Of the term of
obligatory military service in France from three to
two years. q reform to which he stands committed.
and which. its enactment being now assured is cal
culated to promote the economic welfare Of
France. II may be regarded as q first step to-
ward disarmament. but toward reduction OF the
costly, colossal ornaments of the present day. and
the example thus set is likely to be followed by all
those other European countries where compulsory
military service by taking away young men from
trade and industry for terms Of several years i'm
pairs the prosperity OF the nation.
NJ. Berteaux is the fourth civilian to occupy the
post of Minister Of War in France during the last
hundred years. the three Others having been II.

 80 much the future electrical engi- neer learns by lectures and class room exercises. but quite as much of his time Is given to study of a more prac- tical description. in which he learns theory by applying it to practice. He becomes worker in wood and iron in laboratories devoted to carpentry. Dlacksmithing and metal turning: in other laboratories he learns the secrets or steam engines. boilers and other steam appliances. and finally in the big laboratory of the Technology electrical engineering department he performs for himself practically every detail of electrical operation. Clad in overalls and jumper he tests machinery under every probable condition running the big permanent generators of the lab oratory or testing the efficiency of lamps. transformers and motors. His main laboratory Is a room some 260 feet in length and filled with perma- nent as well as movable electrical ap- paratus with which he becomes per- sonally familiar. Connected with this main power room is series of small CT laboratories in which advanced stu dents work out their own special re- searches on some important detail in the complex business of electrical en- gineering, this, of course. being the final touch to his academic" training.
 It is an interesting fact that in the making of practical electrical engineers the United States has always stood somewhat ahead of Germany. despite Germany's greater prestige and larger Laboratories. The latest addition to the Technology laboratories. however, has given this country what is undoubtedly

I:i 1885, for example. the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. in this city. graduated but two electrical engineers, while at present. twenty years later, there are in the neighborhood of POO students studying electrical engineer Ing In the Institute courses and some 46O odd graduates. This number is simply an important fraction of the sum total of young Americans now studying electrical engineering either in Germany or in the various techno- logical schols that have deovelped in America since electrical engineering began to assume its present impor: ance. And within the last two years the Institute has erected an electrical laboratory that not only equals any. thing in Germany but Is said by ex perts to be in some respects superior; which means literally the present hold ing of the worlds championship belt for the equipment necessary to electrical institutions.
 Here. therefore. one obtains an ex- cellent opportunity to see the making of the man behind so many modern in Ventions and conveniences. In the earlier history of applied electricity he was inevitably a self made product, a condition that has becom practical ly impossibl under the rapid edevlop- ment Electricity as a very useful of modern civilization and the consequent demand for young men who can take up it's practical knowl-

' Boston. Aug. 27-During the past Two decades the development of cleo pricity has included practically every department of modern industrial life, Ind the profession of electrical engi- beer has become certainly the most modern and in many respects the most universally important profession now bpen to young Americans. The eIectri- pal engineer is not only the man behind The electrical apparatus that yearly plays a more important part in deveI- bping our modern industries and oper- bting our modern cities. but also the nan on all sides of 1t, eternally fixing wires, watching the evolutions of dy- hamite, installing new telephones, tele- traphs, electric railways and lighting Dystems, or planning minute improve nents upon those already in existence. He goes to sea on the liner or warship md dives under 1t in submarine yes lels; he burrows into the earth to con- luct mining operations and has plant ld its surface from ohe end of civiliza- hon to the other with the countless ,oles necessary to connect his tele- phones and telegraphs; he lights our Ities, propels our whizzing trolley iars and Is now beginning to fill the rery ether itself with wireless mes ages.

hours, moreover, are interestingly diversified In fashion undreamt of twenty years ago, for they are some
 times by new pieces of machinery im-
 ported for the purpose from the big electrical plants, and at yet others by
 miniature working models, showing, TOT example, the lighting system of several adjacent cities from a single power house, the electrical signals of rallroad, or theinner workings of a modern telephone system.
 One of the most remarkable techni- cal lecture halls in the world is un- uouotedly the lecture room in Boston, almost in the shadow of Trinity Church. devoted to the future electrical engineers of the Massachusetts Insti- ute. In this lecture hall, instead of the familiar desk upon which an in structor usually places the objects to illustrate his lecture, there are two sets of tracks which suggest the pres ence of small railroad, running across the place usually occupied by the lec- ture platform. These tracks are essen tial to full development of the idea of illustrating a lecture by working models, for they enable the inustra- ton, which often requires many hours of preparation, to be set up and tried in s'h sbit'et ooil' Idilrodueo Into the lecture nall before the lecture and out again after it without interrupting the course of other lectures that precede or fol- low. In this way the student sees practically every form of modern cleo trical apparatus, as electricity is ap- piled to large areas-such as the cleo trical lighting or the power transmits sion of a large modern city-reduced to a miniature fac-simile; and an or dinary dry lecture becomes as vital and interesting as a professional meeting of expert electricians. The lecture hall, moreover, Is thus equivalent to several reasonably well equipped lec- ture rooms. and in order to work the different models, it contains connec- tions for gas. water. direct and several kinds of alternating electric currents, as we'll as sewer connections and a sue

Dinwiddie in the course of a graphic account of the bat tie of Hamatong when the Russian re- treat on the Yalu was effectually blocked by the Japanese, tells how des- perately and consistently the Czar's soldiers contested every foot of the ground. At six o'clock in the evening, at the end of a long days fighting, the battle drew to a close for the lack of lives to sacrifice. The Twelfth Divis- ion. which effectively blocked the Rus sian retreat, lost 344 men killed and wounded. or full one-half of all the losses suffered by the entire Japanese army of three divisions. and from this may be seen how bitterly and rabidly the penned-uo enemy contested for their lives and their country.

 First of all the young electrical en-
 gineer must become acquainted with physics, mathematics and mechanical drawing. These are the three first essentials of knowledge that must at the fingers ends of either the mechani- cal. civil or electrical engineer. A working knowledge of physics Is the foundation upon which humanity builds equally It's whole superstructure of useful machines, its bridges. railroads turnpikes. and canals. It's power plants and various electrical systems. Mathe- matics he must know in order to make the never ending mathematical calcula- lations involved in the practice of each profession; and drawing he must know in order to sketch the plans by which other workmen may carry out his ideas Dry enough this beginning would appear to many persons look ing back at heir own school days. and dry enough much of it is But the young engineer begins almost imme- diately to learn by seeing and doing as well as by hearing and reading. and good half of his time is spent in labora- tories. working out experiments for himself under the eye of an instructor or in examining real machinery and so learning the exact application of theoretical kDowladRA His lacture
