APPLIED TO SHIPS.
Naval Engineers Experimenting
With Power Transmission System.

Naval engineers are preparing for an
experiment on a large scale with an en-
tirely new system of power transmission
as applied to ships. On the outcome may
depend the character Of machinery to be
adopted for the big battleships of the
future. The subject Of the experiment is
the big collier Jupiter, 10000 ton ship,
now practically complete.
The problem to be demonstrated is the
transmission to the ships twin propellers,
each 10 feet 6 inches in diameter of
1900 horsepower, generated in Curtis
turbine engine, coupled directly to a
great electric dynamo, whose current. at
200 volts pressure. will be divided be-
tween two 3.5O0-horsepower motors on
the propeller shafts.
The steam turbine Is held to be SUI
perior in economy to the precipitating
steam engine only when running at very
high speed, and the purpose of the
Jupiters installation is to reduce the
turbine speed OF 2,OOO revolutions per
minute to d propeller speed of 10 revoll-
lions. The interposed electrical machin-
cry. the dynamo and motors, from "A
mechanical point of view therefore is
rDthing more than a reduction gear.
The JupiterS sister ship, the collier
Neptune, which is now being tuned up
seeks to accomplish the same purpose by
a worm and gear wheel mechanical re-
duction. and a comparison between the
two ships is awaited with interest.

SCRAP ON THE STREET
COSTS M'M|CHAEL $40
Accused Is Indignant and As
serts He Was Attacked by
Another Man.

was Representative McDermott's private
secretary, SO in the Police Court today
because of Policeman Sullivan's story
of a scrap Saturday night in front Of the

dignant.
McMichaers story was that he and a
friend were having bite to eat in the
hotel cafe Saturday night. Two men
near at hand We're making a show of
themselves by refusing to pay for the
food and drink which had been ordered
in large quantities by two woman COM
panions. McMichael and his friend be-
gan a. kidding campaign. and the re-
suit was that the men who refused to pay
the girls bill became OveranXious to meet
McMichael and his friend outside the
cafe
when we did leave he said, "they
were waiting for us. One of them punch
ed me in the head and broke my glasses.
I punched back and SO did my friend.
Policeman Sullivan arrested us 1 used
no profanity. All did was to say: You
don't have to hold me like that. I am
not a criminal"
The policeman who broke ZIP the row
told different story. He said the young
man had engaged in a very spirited con-
versation on the street and at the sta
ton house. He also mentioned the names
Of several government officials, but this
did not save him from putting up So
collateral.
The judge imposed a ten-dollar fine de-
spite Mr.. McMichaers protests.

BIRDS AID THE FARMERS
Certain Species Of Feathered
Family Prey on Insects
Almost Exclusively.

''Fly catchers''-tfe kingbirds, phoebes
and other birds that prey on wasps, bees
ants, grasshoppers, caterpilars, flies,
bugs and other insects-were given a
clean bill Of health as far as the farmer
is concerned in a report issued today by
the Department of Agriculture. After an
investigation by Assistant F. E. l.. Beai
Of the biological survey Of the diet Of
seventeen of the thirty-one species Of ny
catchers the department today announced
that the birds do considerably more good
than harm and should be protected as
allies Of the farmer and horticulturist.
Bee Bird Feeds on Drones.
A curious fact brought out about one
of the local fly catchers, known as the
bee Bird is that it feeds exclusively on
drones so far as it's bee depredations are
concerned. This is a pert little green
bird, with three or. four flaming red
feathers concealed on top of its head
These feathers can be raised to simulate
a flower. while the green body Of the
bird blends perfectly with the foliage.
1t lives largely on bees during the honey
flow, but Of all the specimens examined
few. if any, have ever had any bees ex-
cept drones in their stomachs How they
can tell the drones from the workers on
the wing is a secret that the bee bird has
never divulged.

Text of Sermon by Rev. DR.. James S.
MONTGOMERY.

Irreverence more than money is the
root Of sin among the American youth,
according to Rev. DR.. James S. Mont
gomery, in his sermon in Metropolitan
Memorial Methodist Church yesterday.
He called attention to the fact that a
man may have the finest education OBJ
tainable at the great universities. but II
he does not reverence his God he is "a
poor son, poor father and poor man.
The pastor spoke in this connection of
the opening of the public schools and
asked, What shall be taught the boy of
today. who is to be the man Of tomor-
row-the husband, the father, the builder
of home, state, society?
Teach him all around. Build him up
and make him even all head-a tyrant:
all heart-a fool. Balance him and you
turn him toward God in whose image he
Is made
