MEADS FOUND GUILTY.
American Engineer Sentenced to One
Weeks Arrest in Russia for Neg
iigence in Submarine Boat.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 5.-Joseph
K. Meads, an American, and two local
engineers were condemned by the SUI
perior court today to one weeks arrest
for negligence in connection with the ex-
plosion of the submarine Dragon in the
Neya river last August. This reverses
the decision of the admiralty investiga-
ton committee which found that the ac
cident was due to unavoidable causes.
Meads, whose home is at Baltimore, was
the engineer of the Dragon and in the
employ of the builder, Simon Lake, of
Bridgeport, Conn. He and sixteen others
were injured in the explosion, which was
said to be due probably to the ignition
of benzine. The submarine, built for
the Russian government, had not been
formally accepted at the time.

TESTING FIRE CLAY.
The Most Practical Method Is to Lit-
 orally Eat lt.

Fire clay has been n use fer cen turies. and yet l believe the industry is one which lacks definite ia ws more than any other. including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence You can go to manufacturer of stee! and specify what you want by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod uct by chemical analysis or mechanical tests and thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to combine in order to get result at least very closely approaching what you call for, but not so In the fire clay business. In the past the most skilled and highest salaried chemists have been employed to make tests, to promote and carry through Investigations on the natural product and to study the workings or certain manufactured and elaborated articles derived tberefrom. The result has been, generally speaking. confusion worse confounded. Two professors, working at similar times on brick or clay obtained from the same source and manufactured under exactly equal conditions, have recorded diamerically opposed conclusions! The same scien- tists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, so can you wonder if proni- nent fire clay manufacturer should ex- claim, as I heard one on an occasion after having the above experience. All tests of fire clay are empirical, and I would sooner trust our superintend- ent to pick and select his elays in the old fashioned way than pay high fee for a hfghbrow's recommendationsF The chief method of testing fire clay by practical man is literally to eat it. He can detect grit and sand best by that method, and good fire clay free from silica, quarNite or flint clay) is free from grit His only other personal test is by e1pertment.-En- gineering Magazine
