Progress in Steam Turbines.

That the actual displacement OF the
reciprocating steam engine by the
steam turbine for many purposes Is
proceeding at n rapid pace In this
country is Indicated in the statement
that single company, manufacturing
but one OF the several types of steam
turbines in the United States. tool;
orders within the last half year for
turbines for generating electricity hav.
ing a capacity of $1,000 kilowatts. or
nearly 10000 horse power. Three
of these engines are for Brooklyn
power station and will be the largest
ever constructed. 1t is interesting to
note in this connection that wonderful
as is the transformation in power
mechanism. there are engineers who
predict still more radical change in
the not distant future in the develop
ment OF power from gas engines. This
form OF engine has been developed
to marked extent In Europe, espe.
cially in Germany. and American and
English engineers are Just beginning
TO awake to the possibilities in this
direction According to one author.

Value Of Study of Greek.

President Hadley of Yale has lately
declared that the old, school college

great store upon Greek as means of

were half right and ,holf wrong, They
were right. he says. in holding TINT
hard work and precision of thought
were more important by far than I'M

they attribute his sickness to the fact
that his name did not agree with him.
When one understands what these
names are, one does not wonder that
the child may have fallen sick be-
cause OF them. When the children

five years old-moral philosophy. poet

The .sound aof /. Sunbeam.


One of the most wonderful discoy-
cries in science IS the fact that a
beam OF light produces sound. Ac-
cording to Milling. a beam Of sunlight
Is thrown through lens. on a glass
vessel that contains lampblack. col
ored silk or. worsted, or other sub
stances. A disk, having Sits or Open
ings cut in 1t, is made to rev'lve
swiftly in this beam of light SO al to
cut 1t up, thus making alternate
flashes OF light and shadow. On put
ting the ear to the glass vessel
strange sounds are heard so long as
the flashing beam is falling on the YES
sci.
But a still more wonderful discovery
has been made. A beam of sunlight fs
caused to pass through a prism, SO as
10 produce what is called the solar
spectrum or rainbow. The disk is
turned and the colored light of the
Rainbow is made to break through 1t.
Now. Mace the ear to the vessel con-
tanning the silk, wool, or other ma
terfal. AS the colored lights OF the
spectrum fall upon. 1t, sounds will be
given by different parts OF the spec
trum and there will be silence in other
parts. For instance. If the vessel CON
tains red worsted, and the green light
flashes upon 1t, loud sounds will be
given. Only feeble sounds will be
