Science.
Electricity.

Thomas Commerford Martin. Editor
Electrical World and Engineer-In some
departments of science and industry the
line of evolution and advance can be
pretty clearly seen. 1t Is not so In cleo
tricity. No one has either the right or
ability to forecast its future. even for a
single year. He who prophesies is lost;
he is prudent who limits himself to the
probable.
The curious fact that electrical discov-
cry is usually ready for its next great
leap at the moment when all Is dull and
inert encourages one to believe that the
sudden revival of 1903 after a long period
of quiescence, may continue through 1904.
Electricity invades so many fields there
is no telling just where the coming sensa-
ton is to be located.
1t is reasonable to believe that the work
with radium will lead on to greater
things. both in physics and in the arts.
So far the surgeon has had all the usu-
fruct Of the rays. but they are needed for
lighting and many other useful services.
The idea is plausible now that vacuum
tubes are seen around giving light with
out consumption of anything but the
mere current that such tubes will soon
come to greater prominence. Every other
ilIuminant burns up some tangible ele-
ment. At last inventors have broken
away from that.
Telegraphy and telephony no longer
need wires, but 1904 ought to see great
err indifference on the part of both arts
to the life lines as they breast out to the
sea of ether.
The New York Central abandons its
steam locomotives and adopts electric mo-
tors fed with current from novel genera
tors run by steam turbines. Here is a
startling double change of front, and
other railroads cannot refuse to follow
the lead in 1904.

Shall we maintain the policy that has
produced this prosperity. or shall we so

decided by the voters In 1904 Does the
machinery of the government need q lit
tie oil here and the fighting Of a screw

these issues the Republican party. now in
power has no fears Of the outcome.

opinion, will be the great issues of the

Color Photography.


Frederick E. Ives-No sooner was mon
ochrome photography discovered In the
first half of the last century than every
body looked confidently for the discovery
of process winch should with equal
facility reproduce the colors as well as
the light and shade of the camera image.
Such a process. although frequently an
nounced. has never materialized.
Lippmann, of Paris. about twelve years
ago proposed a process based upon a ply
steal principle which has led to the pro-
duction of a limited number of direct
color photographs. in which the colors
are not pigmentary but like the .colors in
a soap bubble, and generally not even
approximately correct. This interesting
and commercially impracticable process
is the only development in direct color
photography which has even temporarily
appeared to Justify the hope OF ultimate
practical success.
Meanwhile an indirect procedure sug-
gested by Professor James Clerk-Max-
well in 1851. and again by Du Hauron and
eros in 1869, has been reduced to scien-
tific basis, its capabilities experimentally
demonstrated, and it is now being prac-
tically developed in various applications.
This process. generally known as the
''trichromatic' or three color" process.
consists. nrSt. IN obtaining cotOF rec
ord in three Photographic images. made
through three color screens. to represent
the three primary coIors. and, second. in
recombining the three images thus OBJ
tanned, either OFFICIALLY. with three coll
ored lights, or by means of three super
posed transparent prints made in the
Complementary or minus" colors of the
primaries.
The most direct and perfect develop
ment of this process is represented by
the photochromoscope of the author. and
the most indirect but best known devel-
opment is that of half tone trichromatic
process printing, first carried out expert
mentally by the author In 1881 and now
developing great importance as COM
petitor or o-lithography. The
complication of this and other trichro-
matte printmaking processes has thus far
prevented any extensive application &c
the production of colored pictures. except
where a large number of copies are re-
quired and can be made on the printing
press The invention Of triple cameras
and new color printmaking processes IL
gradually extending the application OF
this process, and Il Is only along these
lines that further important progress can
at present be confidently predicted.

ARCHTTECTURE.

Henry B. Herts and Hugh Tallant OF

tects OF the New Amsterdam and many
other theatres and buildings, say: In
America the tremendous impulse given
to building operations on large scale has
led to q more sound and practical archl-
lecture than has recently been practised
abroad. In our high office buildings for
instance, the necessities OF construction
have determined the artistic design and
obliged the architect to express to
large extent the truth Of his construction

is.a general tendency to the employment
Of new methods Of design indicating the

ture

ward the development Of national art

themselves TO further development af

Charles E. Edmunds. NJ. E-There has
not been greater development in any
of the engineering lines in recent years
than in that of steam prime movers
This condition of affairs has been brought
about by the advent of the steam tur-
bine and the past year has been espe-
cially productive of large units that
threaten to displace entirely the recipro-
eating type of Newcomer and Watt.
The superiority OF the turbine over the
reciprocating type for driving electric
generators has been demonstrated where
ever 1t has been adopted. and so mighty
is its power today, fguratively and liter
ally. that the New York Central Rail-
road decided to install 1t in their new
power house. This is all the more re-
markable when II Is considered that this
great corporation employed the most emf

types of engines. There are three forms

THE WILL OF WENTZ FOUND.
Leaves All to Brothers Wife and
Lends oClor to Theory of Suicide.
(By the Associated Press }

Bristol. Va. May 13.-It appears
tonight that the late E. l.. Wentz,
left a will executed only a few days
previous to his death, in which he
leaves his entire fortune to Mrs. d. II.
Wentz, wife of the brother with whom
he was so closely associated through
the years of their residence at Big
Stone Gap. The report that the Will
of Wentz had been found. and that it
bears a date only few days prior
to his tragic DEATH lends color to the
theory of suicide now firmly believed
by many of those most conversant
with the facts. The fact that the
will had been discovered, was first
made public today, but there is re-
liable information that it was found
by his family some time since. Nat
urally it was not published until his
death was established.
Mrs. ID. b. Wentz his brothers
wife, is said to be the chief. if not the
sole beneficiary under tie will. y
short time previously Mr.. Wentz had
received a fortune of between two
and three hundred thousand dollars
by request from an uncle for whom
he was named, and it is this which

Newport News, Va, May 13.-Mayor
Allan A. Moss, who is a candidate for
reelection, William T. Moss, a promi-

or, and Robert w. Perkins, one of the
managers of the campaign for Samuel
K. Buxton, the mayors opponent, were
arrested this afternoon by Chief of
Police Thomas NJ. Johnson and Ser
geant Bryan O'Hara for fighting in
the street.
They were bailed to appear in police
court tomorrow.
Chief Johnson also preferred against
himself the charge of cursing and
abusing the combatants, having lost
his temper while trying to prevent the
gentlemen from renewing the fisticuffs
after he has been between them =
The fight grew out of the mayor
calling Perkins to account for alleged
malicious SANDER, which the mayor
charges, was being industriously cir

Perkins struck at w. r. Moss, the
mayor then struck Perkins in the face
