SHIPS OF CONCRETE

were those in charge impressed by this showing
that four of the boats were at once ordered for
the Italian navy.
In building these craft costly molds are dis
pensed with. Over the iron reinforcement a
light metal mesh is placed SO that the con-
crete may be readily shaped at the will of the
worker. This concrete is laid on until the de-
sired thickness has been attained. Labor of SO
high skill as that employed in ordinary boat
building is not required.
The process of launching is not at all like
that commonly employed. The boat is built in
floating dock which in turn is constructed OF
iron-concrete. When all is ready, one end OF
this dock is submerged and the new craft slips
into the water
The first iron-concrete boat built on this sys-
tenn was constructed in 1897. In order to de-
monstrate its floating capacity practically. Ga
belini left it floating for two years on the sand
banks close to his shipyards, after which he
kept it for four years in the harbor of Anzio.
with view to illustrate that concrete walls are
altered in no way by sea water. The boat was
then taken to Rome, where it has been moored
for five years in the Tiber close to the speci-
men boats ordered for the navy without re-
curing any repair throughout this extensive
career
The latest boats have such improvements as
double walls and water tight compartments
The first cost of construction is less than that of
iron vessels, and there no later expenses,
such as repairs to the hull, etc.

VIHEN, years ago, ships of iron were first
w suggested, builders and owners for long
time discountenanced the idea. Likewise,
when Italian engineer, Gabellini by name,
proposed boats built of concrete, it required
nearly ten years of persistence before he could
induce his Government to fall in with the plan.
But while he pleading his cause with the
naval authorities, coal transportation COM
panies boating clubs and municipalities were
taking an interest in the novel scheme. When
finally he had won over the last of the opposi-
ton, Gabellini found some two hundred of his
boats in use.
In coming in contact with water concrete ac-
quires increased strength. Moreover. it is re-
markably durable, its length of service being
Gus, unlike metals, to the corroding. roughening
influence of rust, permanently maintains it's
smooth polish which IS no mean factor when
speed and coal consumption are to be consid-
cred.
The concrete is reinforced with iron, as in the
construction of buildings, walls of dams, ETC.
The flrst transporting barge to be constructed
IN 1902. This craft has been in continuous
service ever since, in connect ton with engineer
ing work being carried on in the Tiber River.
The Liguria, larger craft, of one hundred and
fifty tons capacity has been in service for two
years a coal barge.
Before accepting the Gabellini boat, the ma
val authorities made somewhat extraordinary
test. The charge against the boat was that it
was unable to withstand heavy blow or
great strain and that sooner or later the craft
must inevitably crack and sink One of these
concrete vessels was therefore lowed out and
moored in the sea and good sized cruiser bore
down upon it. The violence of the blow from
the PROV was considerable: but the craft was
not damaged in the slightest degree. So deeply

A LARGE percentage of the colds with which
n people afflict themselves is the result OF
passing from place to place of widely different
church. theater dance hall, or some place of
this kind to the open, where possibly the tenn
perature is below freezing, and the sudden
change of temperature causes certain physlo-
logical effects. These cannot be discussed
technically except among physicians: but they
result in what IS commonly known as a cold.
However. it is a simple matter to guard effec-
lively against this exposure at an expense de-
termIned by the value OF the time you take to
read this article.
1t is well known fact that the skin is pune
tured by infinite number of exceedingly
small holes called pores, through which various
waste secretions from the body passed off.
1T is not usually known that when one is breath
ing the pores are open; but when the breath IS
held all of these infinitely small holes immedi
ately close. AS proof of this the following is
given an experiment, which the author has
frequently tried and the reader may try with
out fear of harm:
Hold your breath and catch an ordinary
honey bee in your hand, and you will find to
Your surprise that it is unable to sting, and so
long as you can hold your breath you may hold
the bee without harm; but Immediately upon
catching your breath the singer will penetrate
the skin and pain ensues.
The explanation of this is simple. The bee
has not sufficient strength to drive its singer
through the skin; but it can force it into one of
the open pores, which. being numerous and
close together. can readily be found by the
point. When the breath is held. therefore, the
skin becomes invulnerable to the attack of the
bee, because of the closing of the pores. but inn
medately upon release of the breath the pores
open and the singer enters.
This is scientific fact of great value in con-
nection with colds. since it follows that the
body is more exposed to the effect of cold when
the pores are open than when closed. In leav-
ing warm room for the open, if the breath is
held as long as possible the colder atmosphere
will not be felt SO sharply, will the change
of temperature of the body be so sudden but
the body will be given an interval in which to
adjust itself to the colder temperature and thus
avoid the harmful effect of sudden change. 1t
is we'll to hold the breath as long possible
several times in succession. and by this simple
operation you will practically insure yourself
against a cold
The same may be said in regard to plunging
suddenly into a cold bath, in fact to any con-
dition under which the body is suddenly ex-
posed to variable temperatures.

II was considered that probably ten
rounds would have been required. This
would have run the cost UP TO n figure

In lDcurring without specific authoriza-

In view OF the amount already spent in
putting thirty-two companies OF troops

Besides the element of cost, 1t was

and by the firing OF the projectiles

by the flight of the projectiles, It was
said, would be comparatively negligible.
To fire the big guns In the coast artil-

FIGHT FOR LIFE VAIN

grim tragedies that took place in the

Idaho last Saturday and Sunday were
revealed in part yesterday when forest
rangers arrived at Avery and. began to
count the dead bodies Of the rangers
reported to their superior officers that
the bodies of sixty~fve forest en-
ployees had been discovered. 1t is
supposed that among this number are
included the unidentified corpses that
have been discovered and buried by
negro soldiers of the Twenty fifth in
fantry during the past few days. A
dispatch from Avery Wednesday
stated that fonr bodies found had been
identified as those of settlers near
Avery. Tho same dispatch stated that
log men were missing. These figures

fire fighters who have arrived in Spo-
kane from the st. Joe country and who
say that lis men were killed in four
parties.
Snow fell Wednesday night on some
of the higher mountains If the Clear

tinues calm. Some of the small fires
have been extinguished. Three parties
containing TWENTY-FIVE men are sur
