Toward the accomplishment Of this aim
for city service Mr.. Whitman has made
his present Office marvel OF business ef-

whose every word is interpreted as the
word OF the District Attorney. Mr.. Whit
man carries a responsibility which Is null

morning, by the reports on his desk. just
what line each assistant has been WORK

Unlike Mayor Gaynor, however. MT

The anti-rolling devices not only weigh

revolutions a minute. The lifting power
increases as the square of the radius OF

EASY FOR THE eYRoscoPE.

While granting the power Of the gyro-
scope to maintain heavy bodies In So
called state of artificial equilibrium, as
shown In the Brennan monorail car and
otherwise, II seems incredible that any
gyroscope could resist the strength OF
40 or 80 foot wave exerted along the side
of a steamship 1000 feet In length. The
explanation is that the gyro is not asked
to perform any such impossibiity;. II Is
not required 10 meet old man Neptune
when the latter has a toe-and-strangle
hold on a ship. The rolling Of ship Is
not the result Of a single wave action,
but the accumulation OF many impulses
II is like a swing which IS sent going
higher with repeated pushes. 1t would
take an immense power TO stop heavy
roll midway, whereas a very slight power
can check the initial movement OF a ship
away from the vertical. The anti-rolling
devices check and modify a motion which
is far advanced; they run after the mo-
ton to brake 1t down. and sometimes
only succeed In accelerating 1t. The gy-
roscope, on the contrary, resists the first
faint impulse Of the ship to depart from
the upright path. 1t bids each tempter
wave begone. 1t is not difficult for 1T to

Whatever force is used by the gyro In

anti-rolling tanks. which have been es-
pecialy perfected by the Germans, are
tanks Of water placed on each side Of the
ship and connected with pipe so that
the liquid slowly moves from one side to
the other. The water In the tanks moves

water in its anti-rolling tanks.
