nounced the White Star Line expects to build
viii be approximately seventy feet longer than
the Lusitania and MaUretania, or $50 feet In
length. Apparently the inventor is not through
with the steamship. Not only is there an op-
pOrtunty for him to devise bigger ships, but
more economical ways of running them. The
ideal engine has yet TO be placed in the steam
ship. It IS believed that the boilers Of the
Lusitania and Mauretania burn 1,1OO tons Of
coal day. It is necessary only TO look at the
smokestacks these ships swiftly force their
way across the seas TO discover that not all of
this coal is burned. It has been estimated that
not above ne-tenth of the energy in the coal is
actually felt at the propeller. \ large per-
centage Of the heat liberated is sheer waste.
The worlds supply of coal is rapidly dwindling.
The reciprocating engine, which has been re-
placed by the turbine in the big Cunard liners,
causes not only great vibration, but requires
large amount of space and an active engine
force to readjust it the end of the voyage when
the tons of thrashing steel come to rest The
turbine obyiates this difficulty, but the turbine
can be run only at full speed and cannot be
reversed. To get around this objection It has
become the practice to put in turbines of

quarter to one-haf Of the power OF the propel-
ling turbines for going backward. and on war
ships other turbines Of slower speed for cruising
purposes. 1t has been proposed to combine re-
ciprocatfng with turbine engines an ameliora-
ton of the difficulties
It Is believed by some engineers that most OF
these handicaps will be met by using gas en-
gines, the gas being produced on board the YES
sci in a manner similar to that employed In an
Illuminating gas plant Experiments have been
made with what Is called producer gas on an
English torpedo destroyer and on other boats
1t Is expected eventually that IT viii be pos
sible to employ In the manufacture Of this gas
hard and soft coal. wood. sawdust, peat. ignite,
garbage-in fact, anything that VIII burn II
has been demonstrated that il IS possible with
coal to produce by this form OF gas engine one
horsepower an hour for each half to nine-tenths
Of pound burned The best which II has been
possible to obtain with the present forms Of en-
gines has been horsepower for each one and
one-fourth to one and one-haR pounds OF coal
put beneath the boiler. The new engine would
require fewer hands IN the freroom. as the 70
tnrts n which the gas Is produced would be fed
automatically. Some experts have thought thai
no snokestack would be required because of the
perfect combustion This would Be OF great Ad-

What's The Reason.

The news from Topkea indicates
that a primary bill will be enacted
providing for a primary in
August. That is all right The
sulit" feature seems to have been
knocked out. which is all right
to. but it looks as though the SUP.
porters of the Stubbs bill bad
consented to an arrangement
affecting the senatorship that does
not amount to anything as far as
being a primary is concerned and
why it was done. don't ask Us The
provision is that the candidate
carrying a majority of the legis-
lative districts shall he the nomi.
nee. If that is giving the people
of the state a right % vote for
United States senator. it is a queer
way of doing it A candidate Nigh
get majority of $4,000 of the
popular votes Of the state and still
fail to carry a majority OF the legis
lative districts thus he would not
be the popular. choice for United
State senator Possibly it is thought
that the scheme Uill give a man
in the west half Of the state a bet.
ter chance to win, for instance
Senator Long. but it is not elect
ing senator's who are state wide
officers by a popular vote by a long
shot. That is what the people
have been demanding. 1t would
be just as reasonable to say that a
candidate for congress could carry
his district, and yet if more
counties gave msjorities against
him than for b i'm. be would not
be the choice The same is true
of governor end every other Off
Ger. There is something hid in
the scheme somewhere, and here it
is.
Take the second district. 1t has
population of nearly 100000 Its
legislative representatives in the
House and Senate number eighteen
10 the Seventh district the popula.
tion is only about 165, 200. and vet
it has thirty two legislative repre-.
sentatives. In other words. under
the machine provisions for the
election Of United States senator
a district with much less Dopula-
tion would have nearly twice as
many votes in the legislature as
a district with almost twice the
population.
