EARLY TRIAL TRIP.
Collier Being Built for Navy Nearly
Ready for Test.

The new collier Jansen. which the
Maryland Steel Company is building at
Sparrows point. Md, for the United
States Navy is to have her trial trip, if
the calculations Of the builders do not go
astray, early in the coming month, and
within a few weeks after her trials she
will be ready to turn over to the govern

last November. is one of the biggest coal
carriers afloat being o36 feet long, with
ca feet beam and 80 feet inches deep in
the hold.
Her motive power consists of two triple
expansion engines and sheis filled with
hosting engines and other machinery
that will be used in discharging her load,
about 10000 tons of coal, in few hours.
Before being accepted by the naval off,
Gals the big ship must make certain
speed with load, and must be able to dis
charge her cargo in a limited number OF
hours.
Two ships the same size Of the Jansen

CAPTURED BY AIRMEN.
Mayor of Russian Poland Town Has
Strange Experience.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star
VIENNA, February II, 1913.
The "spy fever" which is again epi-
demic on both sides Of the Austro-Rus-
sian frontier. is responsible for several
extraordinary incidents.
The mayor of small town near Flock.
in Russian Poland, declares that he was
kidnapped by an Austrian air scout sew
eral days ago. According to his story,
he heard the sound of an aeroplane late
at night, and when it descended in field
near the town he went to capture the
occupants, armed only with the insignia
Of his Office.
He alleges that the two airmen turned
the tables by binding him hand and foot
and flashing him to the body of the aero
plane. They entered their seats, warned
their prisoner not to struggle and resum-
ed their flight.
The terrified mayor was finally brought
to earth near the town .of Par, sixty
miles away, and before he could give the
alarm his aerial kidnapers vanished.
Frontier guards continually report the
passage Of Russian aeroplanes at night.
An Austrian aeroplane which had to
descend in Russia a few days ago was
confiscated and the airmen arrested.

1t cannot be settled by default, by

learn the physical facts and laws about

The religious question presents itself
generally to people in their teens. 1t is
inseparably connected with adolescence.
1t means, in substance, your relation to

Invention of Frenchman Is Ex-

PARIS. February II, 1913.
So much interest has been excited by
the demonstration given recently of Prof.
Dussaud's invention for increasing the IL
Illuminating power and decreasing the cost
Of electric lighting that another demon
stration was given before dozen experts.
including several from London.
The governing principle of the invention
is rest" and the first illustration was
given with a glass lamp. about the size
Of a foot ball. which gave such a reful-
gence that it was quite impossible to face
It. even for a single second. Il was light
ed by contact established by two slips like
glove-stitchers being brought together.
and when used for taking fiashlight pho
tographs simultaneous exposure and light
ing occurs without any aSominable fumes
of magnesium, which render 1t almost i'm
possible to take more than two poses in
light there is nothing abnormal; it is
merely an ordinary lamp.
At Work in Lighthouse.
The same light was made to illustrate a
revolving lighthouse at work. shining
while facing the sea, and resting while 1t
turned landward, with a result giving a
hundredfold of power. A Morse light sig
mailing experiment showed the same ad-
vantage Prof. Iussaud next exhibited
cinema and lantern adaptations. One OF
these consisted of a small cardboard cyl
inder containing three tiny lamps, of the
size OF large cherries, but too bright 10

These were so arranged that one was
always focused, and after doing its turn
rested while the other lamp came on In
turn. 1t is claimed this contrivance gives
nearly hundred times the illumination

ratus, sold by a we'll known firm for COW
ering screen less than yard square,
was shown fitted with a single Dussaud
resting lamp brilliantly covering twice

necessary invisible rest to the lamp. The

Uses for Photography.
Another very practical application was
the possibility of using films instead of
slides. 1t will now be possible to use
rolls of films which besides weighing a
trifie and packing easily are most bril-
liant and sharp. The fact of the inven-
ton making cold light allows the use
Of films, and a striking example was given
by Prof. Dussaud holding in his hand a
small bulb Of the size of walnut, which
otherwise nobody could venture to look at.
Without resting this bulb would
quickly become too hot to hold and would
burst. but it remained quite cold and
showed the operators hand almost as a
rose-red transparency. The invention is
expected to revolutioniZe the naval and
military searchlight system. and it's COM
mercial uses may be much more numer-
ous even than those already enumerated.
