Ducks Driven by Hunger Into HarbOr

Ducks Driven by Hunger Into Harbor
Owing to stress of weather outside
where they generally dwell in security
from mankind, large number Of
coots. black ducks and king elders
have come up into the slack water
above Martins Point bridge and are
trying to find means Of sustaining life
until warmer weather opens up their
regular feeding places.
Il will be recalled that a few years
ago the fats. even up through the
bridge. were frozen over and nothing
but hand feeding for a number Of
days saved large numbers Of these
fine birds from starvation. It may be
necessary to resort to the same treat
ment again, for the fats above the
bridge are pretty well iced up and
only a small section Of open water
and moist ground remains for the
birds.-Portland Arr

MISTAKES OF SCIENTISTS
Farsdsy and Airy Made Erroro About
Submarine Gable and Nswe5mo
About Aeropanes.

Sir Humphrey Davy's dogmatic pro
houncement against gas lighting Is
not the only instance of a clever scien-
tist being hopelessly wrong. The
early history OF submarine cabling
furnishes two striking examples, Con-
suited on the scientific side OF the
project Faraday asserted that the first
cables were made too small. Then he
said that "the larger the wire, the
more electricity would be required to
charge IT." and in this quite wrong
opinion he was supported by other
eminent electricians. AS a result of
this dictum the current was increased
until the operation literally electro
cuted" the wire and the cable broke
down. 1t was Lord Kelvin who by
sending messages through heavy ca
bles with incredibly weak electric cur
rents proved that Faraday was mis-
taken.
Sir G. B. Airy submitted the pro
ject to mathematics and arrived at
the conclusion that a cable could not
be submerged to the necessary depth,
and that If 1t could no recognizable
signal could ever travel from Ireland
to Nova Scotia In aviation Professor
Newcomb, one of the cleverest math-
ematicians America has produced,
who died last year, declared that he
had automatically investigated all
the conditions operating against the
heavier than air machine and was con-
vinced that the aeroplane would never
be more than a scientific toy; and the
possibility of an aeroplane motor be-
ing reliable in the reduced atmosphere
pressure above 5000 feet was by sew
eral experts said to be out of the ques-
ton g few months ago. Drexel's car
bureter was certainly a bit erratic
above the clouds last week, but he
rose to an altitude of $3.50 feet.
