LAUNCHING A VESSEL,
The Crucial Moment Is When She
Takes tho Water.

That a launch is matter of mathe-
matics, as well as of great skill and
labor, is shown by the fact that the
man of science who has the matter in
charge always makes set of calcula-
tions showing the strain of the ship
and its precise condition at practically
every foot of the journey down the
ways. If boat should get in the way,
or if It should take an unusual length
Of time to knock out the keel blocks,
or if any one of half dozen things
should cause serious delay, the scien-
tific man knows just how long he can
wait and just how far the limit of
safety extends.
There is always one supreme mo-
ment in a launch, and it is at time
that escapes the average spectator. 1t
is when the vessel gets fairly well into
the water. This is when an important
factor known as the moment of buoy
ancy" comes into play. If you can
imagine a vessel sliding down an in
cline without any water into which to
drop, you can see that the vessel would
tip down suddenly at the end which
has left the ways and would rise at the
end still on the incline. But really in
successful launches the stern of the
vessel is gradually lifted up by the
water, and this throws the weight for
ward on that part of the ship still rest
ing on the ways. The force of the
water is called the moment of buoy
ancy," and the natural tendency of the
ship to drop to the bottom of the
stream is called the moment of
weight" Now, the moment of buoy
ancy must always be greater than the
moment Of weight, but it must not be
very much greater, for if it were 1t
would throw too much weight forward
on the part of the ship still on the
ways and might break them down or
injure the plates or keel Of the ship.
When the English battleship Families
was launched, this did really happen,
and so great was the strain near the
bow that parts of the cradle were ac-
tually pushed right into the bottom of
the vessel. 1t is this danger of disaster
that causes the scientific launcher to
make the most careful calculations as
to the conditions surrounding the ship
at every foot Of her journey into the
water.

Examples of Its wonderful Power
opd Penetration.

uRu PonetruttOns
The wonderful force of vibration 10
recognized in all Its power by few
architects and builders. 1t would
aiiiuse them II they were told that the
most solidly built of their walls would
lie injured by the continuous scraping
of bow across violin OF course it
would take years of playing TO loosen
masonry and render iron brittle, but
there are facts on record which show
that such result has occurred. On a
first class battleship man may feel
the vibrations of a violin though he
may not he able TO hear the music. 1t
is the regularity of the vibrations
which tells The player is not affected
by them, for he is a flexible object and
can give way to motion.
Every one knows that squad of
soldiers or any body of marching men
break step in crossing a bridge, no
matter what its size and strength may
be, for none could withs land the vibra-
tiOns of this concerted action Even
the tread of a dog may make Il bridge
shake because of the regularity Of the
vibration, so that on many of the big
suspension bridges dogs are not al
lowed unless carried in the arms of
their owners
A good illustration of the power of
vibration can be found In the Green
wich observatory. 1t stands on the top
of a hill on whose slopes hundreds Of
children play on fine evenings. Their
favorite play is to join hands at the
top and dash headlong to the bottom,
where they fall in heap. This starts
the vibraSon Of the hill to such an eX-
tent that the scientists Of the observa-
tory are unable to carry on their OBJ
servations, which depend upon the mo-
tionless state of tray of mercury
The solid hill Is in such state Of tre-
NOR that the vibrations continue till
long past midnight, when the children
who have caused It have been asleep
for hours.
A still more wonderful illustration of
vibration is in the human throat Six
ty vibrations per second is the least
nuluutE ny ultuiiS VI WulCu II sbOuuu
can be produced. This is sound new
er used in speaking, but Is found in
mems voices in an extremely low reg
lister. The highest sound produced by
the human voice-that Is, II in altissimo
is caused by 1,024 vibrations per sec
ond. This, too Is exceptional, being
only obtalnable in the highly cultivated
female or boy voices.
1t is simply the vocal chords which
vibrate, not the throat In the lower
notes the whole length and thickness
Of the vocal chords are used, the thin
edges being employed for the highest
ones. Thus in speaking for minute
or two there is sufficient vibration en-
gendered in the throat, were it's walls
Of solid nature instead Of soft and
flexible to shatter and destroy It. Ev-
cry minute we speak the vocal chords
-'brate from 10000 to 10000 times

Why is the word tar" a synonym
for "sailor?" Some dictionaries say
that the allusion is to the seaman's
tarry hands and clothes-the "savour
of tar" of Stephanos song in "The
Tempest" Burns uses 'tarrybreeks"
as equivalent to "sailor." But it is re-
garded as much more probable that
tar" is short for "tarpaulin," since
Clarendon and other writers colloquial-
ly use 'tarpaulin" to signify seaman.
OF course, this ultimately gets back to
tar, tarpauln being tarred pail
