POWER
ON A HUGE SCALE
An Ocean Speed of Twenty
FIVE Knots May Soon
Be a Reality.

The record OF the great Cunard At
lantic liners, the Lusltania and her
so-caned sister, the Mauretania, are
watched with augmented interest as
time passes. The propulsion Of an
Atlantic liner BY turbines is one nov
city, the propulsion Of an Atlantic liner
by four screws IS another novelty,
and an ocean speed OF twenty-five knots
will, II Il can be maintained, be new
thing under the sun.
Il is not denied that the coal con-
sumption is about 1000 tons every
twenty-four hours. Il may be little
less or a little more. The bunkers hold
1000 tons. How much remains IN tneH
at the end OF each trip is only known
by a select few. We take it for granted,
however, that each ship burns ir0Co
tons OF coal every Uwenty-fOur hours.
As shere are twenty-five boilers eacA
boiler must take twenty tons per Gay,
and the same every night.
IL may be assumed that each pound
of csal will make nine pounds OF steam
that IS TO say, no less InaH 5sVV TONS
OF steam are made every twenty -lOuI
hours, or, neglectng fractions, 90 TONS
of steam pass per hour through Ihe en-
gines AS The pressure is about ~
pounds absolute, each pound OF sIeatLl
viii occupy about two cubic IeeJs WHlcA
means that 1,680.O0O cubic rect OF steam
pass through the engines every hour.
These are large quantities. but they
shrink when compared with the no"
Of water through the condensers- Iha-
Will be about nifty times the WelSnt
OF the feed water, or 81 by S,OJJ equLl1
400, 900 tons per twenty-tour hours, or ~
tons of water every minute, or luu,oUJ. w
gallons per day. To realize what Inla
means, Il will SUFFICE. perhaps, 10 say
that the quantity would represent the
water supply at thirty-t1ve gallons per
head per day Of q city with l'earIy
5000 600 inhabitants. Tt IS tort Je
circumstance that there is plenty ol
water in the Atlantic ocean
Turning TO the furnaces, we nave
equally astounding figures. Allowing
twenty pounds OF air per pound OF
coal, we have twenty tons OF air passing
through the CRATE bars every day. TAX
ing the temperature Of the supply al
100 degrees, we have fourteen cubic ree'
of air to the pound, so that 26,lW,OJO Gu
bic feet OF air enter the furnaces every
hour. A pipe ten feet square would
pass this quantity n the speed were
that OF a great Rale-fifty miles an hour
We do Mt know with any certainty
what the power developed IS. Taking
Il at 60 600 indicated horsepower al
twenty-fOuT knots. we find that thrust
of 855 tons would represent that power
but making the usual allowances We
may take # that the total nat thrust
is probably somewhere about $50 tons
or say, fOrty-hve tons Tor each propeller

FOLLOWING FIRE
~ Nhed as Frantic People Flee -;from James, Scattered Every where by Exploding Lamps.

Boyertown, Pa.-A catastrophe, hor- rifying in it's details and sickening in its results, Monday night swept nearly one hundred souls of this borough into eternity in almost the twinkling of an eye, and injured nearly three score, many of them fatally
 While the Scottish Reformation" was being produced in Rhoads' opera house by Mrs. Monroe of Washington, a tank used in a moving picture scene exploded. m
 Immediately there was wild rush for the exits of the building. Men of mature years endeavored to still the 1panic, but their voices could not be l heard above the shrieks and screams of the terrified women and children, who composed the greater part of the audience.
 The scenes cannot be portrayed fitly by the most imaginative. The blood -sSrdling cries for help of those who were penned in within the walls of the blazing structure, could be heard above the roaring, seething flames It seemed as though nearly the entire au- dience made mad rush for the exits the moment the explosion occurred.
 In their attempts to quiet the great crowd, those persons who were on the stage, accidentally upset the coal oil lamps used as footlights. The burn ing oil scattered in all directions, and the lamps which were used to light the opera house exploded, throwing the blazing oil over the terror-stricken peo- pie, who were fighting frantically to gain the exits.
 In the mad rush, section of the floor gave way, precipitating scores of persons to the basement. As the floor collapsed, the shrieks of the helpless persons who were carried down were heard for blocks
 Had the women and children needed 2 the warning of the cooler heads in the audience, the horrible loss of life might have been averted, but there was the usual panic and stampede which al most invariably accompanies such a catastrophe. Every home within ra- dius of half dozen blocks of the op- era house was made temporary hos pital, where the wounded were. rush ed by carriages and other mea4s o conveyance.
 Boyertown is a place with a popula- tion of about 2,500, and is located about midway between Pottstown and Reading.

The
General Dem

of the We'll Informed of the World has always been for simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because ito con- ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactu by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

The Starfish Analysed.

The starfish, one of the lowest forms of life, has on its back about 25,000 jaws or hands arranged in rings and bands. By the aid of these it cap lures many animals for food, even quick, active fish of considerable size Prof. Jennings of Johns Hopkins has photographed the starfish at dinner, and has discovered that even this low form of animal life has habits"
