MISS MAUD POWELL
COMING TO DICKINSON

Maud Powell was introduced to the
American music-loving public by
Theodore at the concerts of the New York
Philharmonic and at his own symphony
concerts. To the end of his areer as
the greatest musician-conductor and
conductor-musican of his time. he stood
as musical Godfather to Maud Powell.
indeed he used, in his geneal fatherly
way, to present her to his orchestra as
his Musical GodchiId." On hel last
two professional engagements under his
baton she played the Tschikowsky and
Beethoven concertos. Of this truly great
artist a we'll known Boston critic writes =
''Conjure up in your mind the names of
the few really great ~violinists who have
visited this country during the past years
and ask your musical memory if Maud
Powell does not rank high among them"
Nine. Powell will be heard here at the
Dickinson opera house. on the evening of
Friday, January 7th, 1910.

ROBERT HILL TELLS
OF VISIT TO MARS

The following letter written by Robert,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. r. c. Hill. a pupil
in the tenth grade of the Dickinson high
school. appeared in the young folks
page of the Sunday Tribune. It shows
what literary artists Dickinson high
school is capable of producing and is as
follows:
Would you like it?' you are asked.
Well, it depends on what it is you are
to like. doesn't it? When it is a dis
patch from Washington notifying you
that you are permitted to 60 with. the
flying squadron on a friendly visit to
Mars. you would probably answer in the
affirmative. ] did. anyway. and set
about getting ready. The ships, six of
them. left New York and began their
long voyage. Each ship was entirely
enclosed. after which the only means of
seeing was through widows of very thick
glass and the controlling tower. Elec-
tricity was the motive power. After a
few days, the huge tower Of the central
wireless station at the Marian capital
was sighted. By means of the wireless.
the Martians had known for some time
of our coming. After the landing cam
the paying of official visits and then
everybody who could get leave went
forth to see the sights in this queer
city.
The buildings are very high and built
like a winding stair. The sides are
smooth and the Martians amuse them
selves by sliding down them. As every
body is in a hurry. they have pneumatic
tubes insteads of street cars for city
travel. Their streets are so narrow and
laid out so like a labyrinth, that we met
ourselves several times and then we
procured a guide. He said all the twist
ing and turning was for the purpose of
misleading enemies if they should ever
invade the city. We had left Mars and
were on our way to the next planet when
we were recalled-Japan had declared
war! Going back was easy, for the
planes were slanted and we dropped at
an angle. We landed with a bump-and
l awoke! But I should like to 60 again.
How would you like it?

THE WORLDS GREATEST BArrLEsn1P

American genius and American pro-
ducts again stand preemlnent before the
world for the new United States Dread
naueht battleship. the North Dakota,
equipped with American turbine steam
engines, has just made a new speed re-
cord for ships of her class.
The North Dakota is the fastest battle
ship of the Dreadnaught type afloat. as
we'll as one of the two most powerful
battleships in the world. She has de-
veloped a maximum speed of %. Is knots
and an average of II. 1888. both of which
are in excess of the best performances of
her sister ships. the Delaware of this
country. and the Bellrophen of the the
British navy.
In attaining this surprising speed the
Curtis turbine engines of the North
Dakota were forced to the development
of more horse power than has been
reached by any batileship af1oat.
A maximum of IS. $50 horsepower was
recorded while 80. SIS horse power was
the mean amount. The maximum num-
Der of revolutions of her propellers was
2S6 a minute. 1t was found that 260
revolutions were sufficient to maintain
the contract speed of II knots. Less
coal and water per horsepower were
used to produce this enormous power
than was ever recorded on q battleship
before.
The North Dakota by her performances
took precedence as a general first class
battleship over n other afloat. Her
sister ship, the Delaware, which was
Given her trials over the same course,
was in possession of this honor by her
trial performances. but the figures re-
corded for the North Dakota surpass
those of any other Dreadnaught. There
is but one such battleship af1oat at the
present time whose attachments may
exceed those of the North Dakota. This
is the Neptune. just launched for the
British navy.
The Neptune however. will have to
attain figures much In excess of speci-
.fications to accomplish this. The Bellro-
phen of the British navy, the best of the
European battleships, has made but q. /
knots, as compared with the North Dakota
performance of 2.225. No completed
building OF floating ba%ttleshipof the Ger
man navy can challenge the North
Dakota in speed.
The speed record of the North Dakota is
a double triumph for America. Not only
does it give US the fastest battleship in
the whole world but the very turbine en-
gines which produced this enormous
speed and remarkable economy were in
vented by an American and built in this
country. Only a few years ago Charles
G. Curtis was working in Schenectady, N.
r.. perlecting his turbine engine which
stands highest in the world of power to-
day. When Curtis turbine was pro-
nounced a success he disposed of it to
the General Electric Company to be used
to whirl the mighty electrical generators
in the many power houses scattered all
over the void. But Curtis reserved the
rights for his engine and later
formed a company for the manufacture
of turbie marine engines which pro-
.uced the giant units aboard the North
Dakota.
The new Japanese Dreadnaught battle
Ibuki is equipped with Curtis tur-
bine engines similar to those of the
North Dakota. and her performance has
been equally astonishing.
