DR.. RUSSELL GIVES ADDRESS
st. Patrick's Pastor Admonishes
Students in Carroll Hall.
Speaks Especially 10 Young Men
Who Are 20 Become Lawyers
and Physicians.

Carroll Hall was well filed with men
yesterday afternoon 20 hear the address
OF DR.. Russell TO the students OF Wash
ington.
DR.. Russell spoke Of the duty incum-
bent upon men in professional life 10
become leaders. He said:
"As doctors or lawyers YOU win be
singled out among your fellows. As men
OF education your opinions viii have
weight and you win occupy positions of
honor and trust. AS lawyers you win be
intrusted with the guarded secrets Of
home. and you viii be the guardians IN
trust for the orphan and the widow. No
one with the exception Of the priest vii,
enjoy such confidence as will be reposed
IN the doctor. Not only the physical all
ments viii be revealed 20 him, but he viii
be trusted when the honor Of families is
at stake. To his integrity. not less than
TO his skill, men will lntrust the honor
OF their wives and the purity OF their
daughters
Young men, you aspire 20 a position
Of honor. Your aspirations are praise
worthy. II. now devotng your time
seriously and earnestly 20 the acquiring
Of the necessary knowledge. at the same
time YOU are exercising yourselves in
the practice Of those virtues which Will
fit you for your future vocation. To be
worthy OF the vocauons 10 which you as
pire, You should be distinguished as men
Of truth. honesty and cleanness Of life.
IF, while here in Washington, away
from home and those surroundings which
are so helpful. you give loose rein 10
your !nclinations; II, instead OF forming
your characters by the exercise OF re
straint YOU yield 10 temptations which
daily surround you. your habits IN the
formative period Of life will become
vitated, and in the crucial day, which
will make or mar You. you VIII be found
wanting. Let your lives IN Washington
be such as would not cause shame 10
your father or mother; let them be such
that you may be able 10 meet your
sisters without a blush. Return home 70
those who love. who have made sacri-
fees for you. not only with the title OF
doctor OF attorney. but what is more, re-
turn home as honest, clean-uving men"

Rear Admiral wilde Talks OF Com

Boston, Nov. Rear Admiral G. r.
Wilde who commanded the ram Katah-
din during the war with Spain, declares
that the semi-submarine such as Great
Britain plans TO build. is the coming type
Of battle ship
The telling feature OF the semi-sub-
marine type Of boats" said Rear Admiral
Wilde, is the ease with which they may
be handled. The Katahdin, for instance.
could turn almost in her own length, like
Chinese junk. She could maintain a
speed OF over sixteen knots, too
THE other prime objection brought up
against the proposed new type is the low
freeboard. which, they say will prevent
the manipulation OF her guns in a heavy
sea. This is nonsense. I have been in
southwestern typhOons in the China Sea.
which is the toughest water on the face
OF the globe, and 1 never saw the time
yet when I could not open W the ports
and train my guns.
THE new type of battle ship could be
built at much less cost, four semi-sub-
marines equaling in cost one Dread

a load OF ten OF fifteen tons.
The body is mounted upon two trucks,

While the speed of the car as spoken
of above is very moderate, IL is stated
that much higher speeds can easily be
obtained. The car can negotiate grades

motive power amounting TO about four
tons weight. II is asserted that grades

Mr.. Brennan has been carrying on his
work with the financial assistance OF the

1t is stated. also. that higher speeds

Then when his car goes around a
curve while one gryoscope trys TO tip
to the right the other trys TO tip
TO the left, so one balances the other
and nothing happens. Thus Brennan
overcame the third law after twelve
years experimenting.
How It Works.
He now had two laws left-the one
that spinning body tends to resist any
change of its axis, and the other that
a top will right itself
The first law held the car upright
standing still or on a straight track,
but also prevented the car from lean
ing inward when going around a curve.
To overcome this effect of the first law,
Brennan constructed his machine as
shown in the drawing.

tion. electricity and light. But today
we understand few of the laws that
govern the gyroscope, or any revolving
body. and have applied them TO a Inn
ited extent in guiding torpedoes and
balancing ears on land and steering
ships at sea.
Although the .gyroscope holds within
itself q promise as far reaching as the
discovery of electricity, with it comes
harmful effects that seem 10 be un-
avoidable. The spinning turbine wheels
in the rear of an English torpedo boat
are thought by many engineers to have

ing 1t, The spinning drivers on To-
connective running ninety to 100 miles
an hour are all horoscopes that rebel
at taking curve and must be consid-
cred when designing trucks and tracks.
The Three Laws.
When Louis Brennan, after nearly
thirty years of study and experiment
ing. at last solved the riddle of the
self balancing single-rail car. he had
utilized two laws of the gyroscope and
neutralized one of them that FOR twelve
years baffled all his labors.
The three laws are these:
Take top for example, While spin
ming it resists efforts to tip 1t over. This
is called continuing TO revolve in the
plane OF the revolution
Second. the top if tipped over will
right itself, probably due TO friction on
one side Of the point of support but
not on the other, but this is only a
guess. No one knows positively.
Third If the top is spun on a plate
and then the plate is swung in a circle
the top Will tip over away from the
holder Of the plate If the plate and the
top both revolve in the same direction.
and will tip over toward the holder Of
the plate if the plate and the top re
volve in opposite directions.
The three laws can easily be illus
trated with common top by any one,
but are somewhat difficult TO express in
simple non.scientifc language.
Now the first two Of these laws,
when one wheel was used. helped Bren-
nan to balance his car, but the third
law, illustrated with the plate and the
top. promptly tipped his car over when
IL hit curve. To avoid this third
law. Brennan uses two horoscopes re-
volving at. exactly the same speed and
of the same weight in opposite direc
