Each Ship May Garry Own Aeroplane

A MOTHER year will see the hydro
"A aeroplane developed to such an
extent that each battleship of the
American navy may have its own fly
ing machine, in the opinion of Capt.
Washington 1. Chambers, who has
charge of the aeronautical work of the
navy department.
Captain Chambers believes that as
soon as a solution is found for the
motor problem, on which practically
all aviation experts now are working,
the installation of hydro-aeroplanes as
part of the equipment of battleships
will be begun.
1t Is not considered probable that
the navy aeronauts will follow the
plans of the army and move their
equipment south for practice during
the winter. When the weather at An
napolis, where the navy hydro-aero-
plane experiments are carried on be-
comes too disagreeable for flying pur-
poses. the aeronauts will give atten-
ton exclusively to motor problems.
They believe that by the time the
flying season opens again in the
spring they will have perfected a mo-
tor peculiarly adapted to their pur-
poses.

Army's Many Useless EIitching Posts

IN the United States proper, we have
Z approximately 10000 mobile troops,
half of whom have been in the army
long enough to have become trained
soldiers. Unfortunately the system I'M
der whieh the government manages
the army permits of no such efficiency.
This system divides the army into
number of minute parts and imposes
on each part enough non-military duty
to prevent the military training which
alone can make an army eff cient. This
dissection is accomplished by putting
small garrisons In the forts" or posts,
which are scattered throughout the
length and breadth of the land, chiefly
at points were absolutely no excuse
for the presence of military force
exists.
Some of these posts were erected to
meet military exigencies incident to
the war of the revolution; some were
established as temporary environments
for troops during the war of 1872;
some are relics of the Mexican war;
others were built along the frontier to
give protection to the western settlers
against indian depredations. The mil
itary necessity for these posts Qrrev.

PROGRESS MADE IN ORIENT
Augustus D. Curtis TeFIs Electric
Club of Advance Made in Elec-
tricity In Far East.

The advanced stage of electricity
seen in the orient was one of the
greatest surprises l ever had, espe-
cially the progress noted in Japan.
Even in remote places seldom reached
by tourists we found electric plants
with the most modern improvements.
and, though the machinery was most
ly American make or American type,
the orientals had mastered all of the
details of operation"
This statement prefaced an address
made by Augustus d. Curtis at the
Electric clubs first fall meeting, held
at Chicago the other day. He recent
ly returned from an oriental trip.
Being an electrician and interested
in electricity" said Mr.. Curtis, 1T
was only natural for me to inyesti-
gate the progress made in these coun-
tries, and it is truly wonderful. In
America opticians and Illuminating
engineers only recently have worked
out the problem of indirect lighting
that is, the system of reflection from
the lamp to the ceiling and then down
and imagine my surprise to find
much of this lighting in the orient,
especially in the larger cities of ia
pan.

RECORD KEPT BY TELEPHONE
Photograph SO Arranged That CONVEX
sation Over Wire May Be Repro
duced When Desired.

A reproach which has often been
raised against the telephone is that
it leaves no trace whatever of the con-
versation transmitted. Thus, a tele-
phone conversation can never figure in
law suit. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that for some time past efforts
have been made to devise an appar.
atus by means of which a permanent
record can be kept of the words
spoken over the telephone, and the
monograph has often been thought
Of in this connection. According to
note reproduced in La Nature from
L'Elettricista, Prof. P. Perrotti has
just scored a success in this direction
The telephone receiver is composed of
two loud speaking telephones; one of
these Is furnished with the usual
mouthpiece; the other is connected
with the vibrating membrane of a
Pathe monograph The current re-
quired for this telephone is a little
greater than for ordinary installments.
The monograph record can be made

Gases AnaIyzed,

Sir j. J. Thomson say that By means
of the positive electric rays the gases
present in a vacuum tube can be
chemically analysed, and this analysis
will show not only whether an ele-
ment, say oxygen, Is present, but also
in what form it occurs, and whether
there are allotropic notifications,
such as ozone, present. In practice
the rays are subjected simultaneously
to the influence of electric and mag
netic fields, and the reflections are re-
corded photographically. By this
method much smaller quantities of
matter can be detected than by the
present chemical methods, and tran
silent phases in the processes OF chem
ical combination are revealed

erently called "Hitching Posts" by the
army has long since expired, but
few have been abandoned. Around
these garrisons, during the long years
of their existence, settlements and
towns have grown up which are prin-
cipally dependent upon the pay of the
soldiers.
Every effort by the army to have
these useless and expensive establish
ments abandoned have been bitterly
contested, and in most instances sufii-
cient pressure has been brought to
bear to defeat every effort to with
draw the troops. Apart from the treas
ure waste incident to abe erection and
up-keep of these properties, they are
the chief source Of ineficiency in the
army.

lie attention because of the heavy loss
Is life with which they were accom-
panied, were due to the carelessness
and indifference of the owners, occu-
pants, or municipal authorities.
New York has been spending $10,-
100000 a year for fire extinguishment
and only $4,000 for fire prevention.
The recent shirt waist factory fire
aroused the public and the authori-
ties, and fire prevention is to be made
much more prominent hereafter
The most important consideration is
the development of a sense of person
al responsibility on the part Of prop
erty owners for the excessive fire
waste, which Is draining the resources
of the country and weakening its in
surance capital A score Of fire IN
surance companies have retired from
the field already this year, because Of
the heavy losses last year and the
unfavorable outlook.
Disasters like the recent factory FIRE
at Newark, n. j., IN which 20 girls
were killed and so seriously injured,
are chiefly due to carelessness. In
this case both municipality and own
er are responsible.
