LAUNCHING A SHIP.
New Method of Releasing Vessels
 From the Ground Ways,

In the launching of the battleship New York recently at the New York navy yard, Brooklyn, departure was made for the first time at this yard from the time honored method of releasing ship by saving through the timbers which prevent its movement down the ways. says the Scientific American.
 The ways" which play such an i'm portant part in the launching of ship. are of two kinds-the ground ways and the sliding ways. The former are permanent and immovable; the latter are temporary and move with the ship into the water. The ground ways con- sist of two lines of heavy longitudinal timbers. one on each side of the keel of the ship. placed about midway be- tween the Keel and the turn of the bilge They are laid upon lines of pill ing. which are driven down to a firm bearing. with a carrying capacity suf- fcient to hold up the ground ways firmly in place and insure them against any settlement under the great
  upon the ground ways are two similar lines of longitudinal timbers which constitute the sliding ways. Between the faces of the two ways is placed for purposes of fabrication a heavy coating of grease.
 The launching weight of the New York was 10000 tons. and the inclina- ton of the ways resulted in heavy thrust which had to be resisted until the moment arrived for letting go the ship. Under the old method of launch fin. the sliding ways were locked to the ground ways by two heavy balks of timber. In launching crosscut saws were used to cut through these timbers and so reease the ship.
 Under the new method a massive steel trigger is pivotPd in the ground ways and in it's normal position ell gaGes a cap set in the sliding ways It is maintained in place by a ny draulic piston When the signal is given to release the ship releasing valve is turned. and the glycerin in the hydraulic cylinder is allowed to escape. The pressure in the cylinder being removed. the trigger swings on its pivot. disengaging the cap and al lowing the ship with its cradle and sliding ways to move down into the water.

Mak,nq the Map of California.

From the vast fiat stretches of the Sacramento valley to the loftieSt peaks of the high Sierra in California the United States geological survey topog- rapherS have been for some years en- gagged in making accurate and detailed surveys Recognizing the great value of having the valley lands of the staie completely maiIped at as early date as possible. California has for the mast nine years co-operated with the federal survey in work iD different paris of the state. contributing toward the necess ry expenditures dollar ct state mnney for each dollar spent by the federal government. The result will be huge topographic map show ing the physical characteristics of the state from end to end. The map will be made up nf large number of sheets of uniform size. each represent ing rectangular area called quad ranglp Already l74 quadrangleS hnve been surveyed and an atlas sheet for each has been engraved and printed by the survey.

HOW ANTS FIND THEIR WAY.
Interesting Discovery of French
 Scientist In Algeria.

Not only naturllists. but every one who has watched ants. has wondered how they find their way to and from their nests. 4 French naturalist. NJ Cornets. has been observing ants in Algeria, and he tells the results of his observations. The ant he says. in its outward journey proceeds throughout in the direction initially chosen. On it's return the insect places its body at the same angle and walks in the op- posite direction. The body of the ant would therefore act as a kind of com pass needle.
 If an ant is caught at the nest and transported to point some yards dis tant the insect is quite incapable Of finding its way back. It runs around on the ground until it accidentally comes across the entrance to the bur row The case is quite different ii an ant is allowed to ind its way to distance unmolested. On leaving the nest it places itself in certain direc- tion and hoids the sdme. no matter what obstacles ii may meet en route and no matter what side tracks II may occasionally strike in order to seize some article of food or of Struc tural value for its nest
 The return is effected directly. rapid ly and without hesitation. even if the ground covered has been swept in or der to change it's relief The return is obviously determined completely by has left its nest on voyage of ex- ploration finds its way back just be- cause It has made the outward jour ncy
