FLYWHEELS IN WARFARE.
As ProjectiIes They Would Now Down
- Everythina In Their Way.

A big nywheel spinning rapidly in
wolves much greater danger than that
OF merely exploding. The explosion of

aud causes pieces of the NiIeei to fly
off at a tangent in the plane of the
wlleta, Int in practically every direc-
ton in this plane. But consider for Il
moment what would happen if fly
wheel We're to become loose from its
behring's and stay whole.
The great velocity of rotation would
be changed TO velocity OF translation.
and the wheel would travel with light
ming swiftness along the floor in the
direction OF rotation. 1t would act ike
a locomotive wheel going at tlemtn-
dous speed. OF course, IL il were to
drop in a puddle Of oil it would not go
far, but simply slip like an engine
wheel on an oiled track. But with no
oil to check it's course the results would
be awful to contemplate.
Suppose that the wheel was forty
feet IN circumference and was rotating
ut 800 revolutions a minute. A point
on the wheel would then he travelling
10000 feet minute. or about 800 miles
an hour. This is as fast as cannon
ball and, Of course. the wheel would
act in Il similar manner 20 a cannon
ball-it would he a mighty proiectile
that wonld 20 through almost any
thing. 1t is this danger which keeps
the size and speed of hywheels down
In practice, especially aboard ship.
1t is possible that proiectiles will yet
be made on this principle for certain
purposes. Think what an army could
do ut short range if it was equipped
with hundreds of big hywheels that
could he released. They would travel
along the ground at great speed and
would simply NOW down everything in
their way. The only drawback to the
use OF tiywheels in this way is the re
sistance of the ground and that would
not hold for Il distance as short as hnlf
a mile.
While an ordinary projectile hits in
one spot only. the flywheel would cover
an aren rs wide as the wheel aud as
long as the path over which it Travelled
Therefore it Is hardly possible that any
wheel would become spent without do
ing great dan,age. 1t could he pretty
accurately aimed and, on account of its
gyroscopic effect. would travel In prac-
tically straight line Its gSroscupic
effect would not. however keep 1t from
going up or down u hill. but would pre-
vent il from deviating from It's path

THE START IN ALFALFA.

q reasonably porous subsoil, for the
Hgume won't flourish with wet feet
The soil should be as free as possible
from wood seeds and should be put in
q fine and mellow condition by thor
ough blowing and several diskings and
draggings. Unless the soil is rich 1t
should be given top dressing Of eight
or ten loads OF well rotted manure per
acre. Where there is n sweet clover or
established alfalfa patch near by IL is
a good idea TO get quantity of soil
from this and scatter on the patch
with the manure. Some Of the com
