100 Years Ago and Now.
THEN

One hundred years ago the
worlds first steam war vessel,
the Demologos, afterwards re-
chrlstened the Fulton in honor
of its constructor, was launched
from a privately owned shipyard
on the New York bank of the
East river. Its construction had
been inspired from the war of
1872. Not much longer than
the modern excursion boat
measuring in length 167 feet, and
built of wood, the vessel slipped
her moorings on June 1, 1915,
and proceeded into New York
bay under her own steam upon
her maiden voyage. On the 4th
of July she again ventured to
sea for trial, sailing So miles in
eight and a half hours. This
pioneer vessel of modern navies
never received her baptism of
fire, peace having been declared
before the Demologos was ready
for battle, but she proved an in
strument of destruction when
her boilers exploded while she
lay in the Brooklyn navy yard
on June i, 1929, destroying the
vessel and killing 26 persons.
Today while steam propels
nearly all of the $500 or more
warships of the worlds navies,
already new forms of propulsive
power are being adopted, such
as internal combustion gas en-
sines and vfrious forms of mo-
tors, whileI electric motors
already are being experimental
with and have been installed on
one American naval collier.
Probably the horse power of the
Demologos was not as great as
that whii .ropels naval

modern warship. Against b
speed of little more than six
miles an hour, there are war
ships today that attain a speed Ct
80 knots an hour and more. War
vessels that could store the
Demologos on their decks have
made sustained voyages of be-
tween 1000 and 5000 miles with
out re Coaling, thus disproving
the mathematical demonstration
of Dionysius Lardner, who
sought to prove by figures in the
young days of steam that no
ship could ever carry enough
coal to feed her engines while
GRO ssing the Atlantic.

A class of first reader pupils
were very proud when they
were able to spell "b-a-double

meaning of the double was ex-

it as follows:
