TURBINES FOR WARsHIPS.
Improved Equipment Up to the
Navy Department.

In case of favorable action by the Navy
Department, the battleships. cruisers. ETC.,

proved turbines designed by the West
inghouse Machine Company. which prom
Use to add greatly to their efficiency.
Turbines are now in use in scout cruisers
and many destroyers, and also in the bat
tleship North Dakota but SO far as
known the improved turbines have not
yet been installed on any ships.
A feature Of the new system Is the use
of the newly invented reduction gear of
Melville & McAfpin, which, 1t Is claimed,
allows a high rate Of speed for the tur,
bines, with a relatively low speed OF the
propellers, thus conserving much of the
energy now wasted and reducing the ex-
penses of operation as compared with
the ordinary recfprocating engine. The
improved turbine requires only about half
the floor space, is only half the weight
and, 1t is claimed, has a better all-over
efficiency. Representatives of the COM
pany have conferred with Rear Admiral
Cone, engineer-in-chief of the navy, and
urner officials Of the Navy Department,
regarding the adoption of the principle
in the warships of the future. Detailed
plans of the new turbines have been
submitted and are now under considera-
ton by Admiral Cone and his assistants.

SHOOTING WHALES.

The Size Of Raindrops.
From st. Nicholas.

Raindrops do not always have the same
size or weight, and this Is primarily due
to the fact that they are not formed like
the drops Of water that fall from wet
cloth or the spout Of a pitcher. or the
drops that rush out Of the holes in a
garden sprinkler. In all these latter cases
a solid stream of water is broken up
into drops: but the raindrops are formed
In the cloud by the accumulation of mi
mute atoms Of water drawn together into
one drop, and sometimes by the melting
OF a large snowflake or a solid little Icy
hailstone. When drop Is thus formed In
the clouds, 1t begins to fall, no matter
whether 1t be large or small, and observ-
ers in balloons state that all sizes of
drops are to be found within the clouds
themselves, from the finest fog and driz-
cling mist up to the heavy rain. 1t is
commonly said that the bigger drops fall
faster than the small ones and overtake
them and grow bigger. This sounds
reasonable, but no one has really proven
1t.

A great deal has been said about the

The Color Of Water.
From st. Nicholas.

The waters of the seas. lakes. rivers
and streams in general are very often
colored. For instance. the water of the
Mediterranean sea is not colorless, but
green-biue; also there Is a brilliant red
river IN South America. The st. Law
renee. in Canada, is pale green. and the
Ottawa golden brown; where these two
rivers meet quite frequently whole broad
patches remain unmixed. Here is a gold
patch and there green one. Otherwise

Fresh Eggs Sink in Salt Water.

But to get back to the sure and GER
tain method of determining the freshness
Of AN egg without breaking the seal OF
the original package as it is delivered by
the hen. This is the way DR.. Wiley
turned the trick. He had a big glass
beaker about three-quarters filled with a
10 per cent solution of common table
salt. Into this he dropped eggs. All the
absolutely fresh eggs Immediately sank
to the bottom of the beaker, while the
eggs that weren't quite so fresh foated
submerged, and the eggs that were quite
passe fioated a quarter or third out OF
water.
The eggs used today were all labeled.
Some of them were laid yesterday, and
Dr. Wiley knew this to be a fact, for one
of his faithful inspectors hung around a
chicken yard about laying time and col
lected the eggs before they got cold. DR..
Wiley explained that to the committee. to
relieve any doubts they might have had
as to the authenticity of the exhibits in
the case.
How much did you pay for those?'
queried Chairman Moore.
L really don't KNOW" replied the doc
tor.
Il wonder" remarked Representative
Johnson of Kentucky, IF there is money
enough in the United States Treasury to
buy those rare articles?'
When the governments chief chemist
dropped these guaranteed eggs in the
beaker they Immediately sank to the bot
tom. Then he took a box of eggs, bought
in Center market by one of his inspect
ors as strictly fresh,' and put them in
the beaker. All save one floated, some of
them one-third out of water. That indi-
Gated they were not strictly fresh" as
claimed, the doctor said, and in this con-
nection he asserted that convictions for
this offense had been and could be OBJ

| fore the special committee of the House

! tive ]. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania
is chairman. Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, the

planned but demonstrated IL practically

it, too, is that it doesn't require lab

Any housewife may turn the trick in
minute or two, and if she finds that eggs
she bought as strictly fresh are in
reality most ancient she has a good case
against the dealer. DR.. Wiley, who in
dorses the method, said today it was pos
sible to prosecute and convict in the Dis
trict of Columbia any dealer offering
stored or refrigerated eggs as the strict
~ fresh country product.
Mr.. Pearre Takes Exception.
That was all interesting feature of to-
days hearing. Another was statement
by Representative Pearre of Maryland
taking exception to the report of last
Tuesdays hearing as published in The
Evening Star.
Mr.. Pearre read an extract from The
Star in which Dr. Wiley was quoted In
reply to a question from Mr.. Pearre as
to how it was possible to determine when
an egg ceased to be fresh, as saying that
he would answer that question If Mr..
Pearre would in turn tell him when pig
ceased to be pig and started to become
a hog.
In his remarks to the committee Mr..
Pearre asserted that no such lmpertinent
reply had even been made by DIR. Wiley
and that The Star reporter was endeavor
ing to belittle the investigation. He COM
planned of the tone of the report made
story of today's hearing didn't suit him
he would ask that the reporter be ex
cluded from the future hearings Of the
committee.
Then Mr.. Pearre turned direct to DR..
Wiley and asked il he had given any
such answer as that
DIR. Wiley replied that he thought he
had.
\ few minutes later several members
of the committee pointed out to Mr..
Pearre the follow .ng on page seven of the
official stenogi aphic report of the hearing.

DIR Wiley: i do not know when an

Much Technical Information.

Considerable technical information on
the subject of the varying amount of
ammonia in fresh. almost fresh, stored
and undeniably elderly eggs was impart-
ed to the committee by DR.. Wiley. The
ammonia, which results from decomposi-
ton, the audience gathered from the
chemist, is what perfumes the air when
a bad egg meets an equally bad actor.
In connection with the cold storage
question DR.. Wiley ventured the opinion.
branching bit away from the egg ques-
ton, that no cold storage shad should be
permitted to be sold after January l Of
each year. explaining that at this time
the markets of the country began to re-
ceiye Florida shad. and that. with cold
storage shad from the run of the year

Testing Old Eggs.

Then DIR. Wiley put in the beaker a
dozen or SO eggs which he knew were
ten months old, as they had been under
his personal observation-in an expert
mental way-for that length of time.
They acted just about the same as tile
strictly fresh eggs of the Center mar
ket although one or two of them may
have ridden a little higher out of wa
ter Indicating, the doctor explained,
that they had advanced "a little further
along the road to that bourne from
which no respectable egg ever returns:
This indicated that the strictly fresh
eggs of the Center market and the ten
months old eggs OF the Department of
Agriculture were In about the same gen
eral condition. although. of course, the
chief chemist could not say whether the
strictly fresh articles had attained that
condition by an equally long period OF
storage or by briefer period kicking
around in the outside air.
| But it was a very interesting test in
deed and, from the intent manner il
which the members Of the special commit
