GYROSCOPE AT WORK.
Once Mechanical Toy. Its Useful
ness Has Important Applications.

The Versat ility and wide range or
usefulness of the gyroscope is strik-
ingly shown in some of it's latest APP
pHcations. AS means for prevent
ing rolling in ships the gyroscope Is
a proved success. while the gyrocom-
pass has passed the experimental
stage and is in successful use on some
of the largest ship afloat. The gyro-
scopic stabiliZer for aeroplaneS has
been developed in all its details and
has recently been installed on an aero
plane for practical test. The most re-
cent advances in the use of this de-
vice are the control of guns on board
of a warship SO that the guns are
simultaneously aimed from the lookout
in VOlley firing, and the control OF
mirror used as an artificial horizon
for making observations at sea. The
success of the gyroscope for hold
ing monorail car level is unques-
toned experim entally, and it's failure
to come into practical use is due to
other causes than any inefficiency in
the device.
Although these applications of the
gyroScope seem to have little or no
relation to each other, they are all
based on just one feature of gyro-
scopic action In short, there is one
big fact in connection with the gyro-
scope that explains every phase of its
action.
The fact is procession.
THE mechanical action that results
in procession can only be explained
by a difficult mathematical process,
but just what procession is and how
it can be applied is easily under
STOOD declares J. E. Murphy. asso-
ciate member of the American Soc1-
ETY. of Civil Engineers. Mr.. Murphy
thereupon proceeds to give the clear
gyroscopic principle which has yet
been offered to the layman. Dia-
grams are used to elucidate the dis
cussion and the several applications
of the gyroscope are carefully de-
scribed, including ship and aeroplane
the gyrocompass, and
systems. Regarding
ship sterilization, Mr.. Murphy says
The gyroscope is particularly
adapted to use as a StabiliZer of ships,
since it's efficiency does not depend
on any regular period of rolling I'm
der most conditions the rolling of a
ship takes place as an irregular Sc
rieS of light and heavy rolls, each
series starting from practically moth
ing, increasing to maximum, and
then decreasing to a minimum, after
which another series starts. 1t is this
irregular rolling that makes difficult
the use of stabilizing tanks containing
water or other liquid, as these depend
for their efficiency on a pendulum
like motion of the ship. The gyro-
scope, on the contrary, aCtS lnde-
pendently of any regular period of
rolling, and checks a roll the moment
it starts.
mot only is the gyroscope used for
tabilizing ships, but it is also used
for causing artificial rolling in the
operation of ice breakers and in the
of ice-bound ships This ac-
ton is the result of procession in a
vertical plane, exactly as in stabiIiz-
ing, and needs no further eXplana-
ton.
When the sailing ship was sue
ceeded by the steamship, a great
change was gradually made in the
shape of the hull, for the reason that

petite?
Fifty-four tons of solid food, and SO tons
of liquid-about 1900 times your own

The tons of bread you have consumed
would equal in size a small family hotel

equivalent weight of butter.
If you had been lover of bacon and
were to stretch 1t out in single slices, four
miles would be the length. Five tons of

LIGHTS FOR kELLAM.
City Will Extend White Way to
Light Sixth and jackson Corner.

The city will furnish electric cur
rent to supply lights installed on
white way poles if the cost of install
lation of the poles and their equip
ment is paid for by E. B. Kellam.
This decision was reached by unani-
nous vote of the board this morn
ing.
Mr.. Kellam rcpcsed to install two
poles on the north side of West Sixth
west from the corner of Jackson
street, and another on the west side
of jackson street north from the
same corner. He proposed to pay all
the cost of installation and equipment
if the city would furnish current to
light the poles. The city has agreed
to do so.
The new poles will be an extension
of the new white way on West Sixth,
and the poles will be spaced at the
regular distance. The cost of install
lation will be close to $50 pole, or
about S240 for the three poles, includ-
ing the extension of the conduit
across Jackson street from where it
otherwise would end on the east side
of Jackson street. 1t will furnish a
splendid light on the corner and
around the fine new building Mr..
KeIlam says he will erect on the
northwest corner of the intersection.

COLLISION
The Cyclist Was Speeding on West
Tenth Avenue.

Irwin Stephens. 2O1S East Tenth street,
Kansas City, was injured this after
noon when his motorcycle collided with
an automobile at Tenth and Harrison
streets. The automobile was driven by
Miss Violet Berridge 500 Lane street,
and was going east on Tenth street
Stephens was going at a fast pace on
Harrison street according to byStand-
ers, and ran into the front wheel of
the automobile at the intersection. His
motorcycle slidded as he made the
turn and he was thrown under the car
He was not knocked unconscious and
admitted that the accident was his own
fault. He was Immediately taken to
Christ's hospital by DR.. w. w. Yates,
who attended to his injuries. He sus-
tanned a severe shock by the fall, and
received a bad scalp wound. This af-
ternoon he was delirious, but he will
probably recover. Two or three stitches
had to be taken in his head.

There are certain direct economic

These advantages are probably most

Certain dependent or reflex econom-

The increase In the value OF farm
