NJ Germany Is preparing steadily to

| England, even without the aid of the
German navy, in the judgment of OBJ
servers OF the continued activity at
the Zeppelin works at Friedrich

At this factory at Lake Constance
more than one thousand workmen
since the beginning OF tho war have
been employed, instead OF Il normal
working force of four hundred men.
The men, all experts, have been di-

"A special basket this Zeppelin carried
fifty torpedo bombs each said to be
capable of as much damage as tho
shells from the famous l6inch guns.
one OF these bombs during trial
near Fricdrichshafcn penetrated the
earth five yards. All the Ieppeins
built since the beginning Of the war
have been similarly fitted.
"Dreadnought" Xcppclins were
launched August Is, September 3 and

coasts OF New York today, smashing
houses, wreckng boats, flooding VIII

AT Sandy Hook the wind attained a
velocity Of 6S miles an hour. driving

1t impossible for pilots to board In
coming vessels In New York harbor
the tide was the highest in l3 years
and the waves drove the New Jersey
terryboats to cover and strewed the

city the wind blew at As miles an
hour-diminishing to 26 miles tonight
with forecast of a shift in the gale
attended by more rain or snow.
Coney Island Hit.
The worst damage I'm this vicinity
was suffered at Coney Island where
the loss within the past "a hours is
estimated at 100000. Two or three
hne houses at Sea Gate were wrecked.

dredS of sand bags. The waves threw
them aside, rolled in and tore the
houses apart Fifteen buildings along
Coney Island had been damaged to-
night including big bathing paviuons
ana summer cottages
At Brighton Beach the board walk
was demolished and the waves surged
around the Brighton Beach hotel and
wrecked several small buildings near
it.
Waves broke more than twenty five
feet over the hight tide line at Rocka-
way, causing heavy damages to bung-
allows, baths and the board walks.
AT Seaside eight bungalows were
carried away. Two hotels at Arverne
were damaged while Point Lookout

Objected Hcatctily,

Senator Robinson objected heatcdly
to any but serious consideration for
his proposal, and had arrived at an
agreement with Senators Stone and
Gallinger that the lobby committee be
charged with the task, when Senator
Smoots objection closed the discus
sion.
When the report was brought to the
attention Of Secretary Bryan he said
1t contradicted itself by giving the inn
preston that senators had been paid
and then indicating that the entry on
the CarranZa books did not specify
the use which was made Of the
money.
incidentally, 1t was said by high Of
ficials. that President Wilson had
never discussed the evacuation of
Vera Cruz with any members Of the
senate.
Rafael Zubaran Capmany, wash
ington representative OF Carranza,
who was mentioned in the story as
having received the money to influ-
ence senator's, issued the following
statement:
THE story Is too ridiculous to merit
consideration. 1t merely goes to show
to what lengths the Villaistas will go
to manufacture fabrications they be-
licve may be of assistance to them in
this country"

surely would be vote on the pro-
posed Hobson resolution for submls-
sion to the states OF constitutional
amendment for national prohibition.
This has not been included in the
projected program of legislation that
has been discussed since adminlstra-
ton leaders returned to Washington.
There will be vote on the pro-
hibition constitutional amendment be-
fore adjournment, Mr. Underwood
declared "and eventually a rule to
pave the way for a vote on II will be
brought out In the house"
According to both majority leaders,
the appropriation bills will have the
right OF way and will be rushed as
rapidly as possible. Conservation leg

the house bill to pave the way for ulti-
mate Philippine independence are first
on the program OF general legislation.

Why a Needle VIII
Float on Water
BY Edgar Lucien Larkin.

n -"Erptain the philosophy Of
X he surface tension of liquids
in connection loith the fIotation
of the needle"
A-A steel needle laid carefully
on still water surface will float,
although the weight of steel or
iron is greater than that of an
equal volume of water.
Molecules of liquids cohere, but
with a force far less than in SOL
ids or viscid substances, But the
thin needle of metal gently placed
horizontally on water has not
quite weight enough to break the
surface tension-that is. molecu-
lar attraction-of the water below
it.
Attraction. of molecules is a
force that exerts great influence
in nature. Thus this force draws
particles of water in fogs into
drops of water which are heavy
enough to fall as rain. Dew is
formation of minute particles of
water into drops at rest on sur
faces.
The molecular attraction of the
heavy liquid-mercury-is in
tense, else this heavy liquid could
not be drawn by it into spheres
or drops. Melted lead forms into
minute globes when let fall in
high shot towers.
There is a great difference in
the intensity of molecular attrac-
ton. as mag be observed in al
cohol. gasoline, sulphuric ether
and similar limpid liquids, and oil,
syrup, gIycerine and other viscous
liquids.
Soap bubbles could not be blown
in alcohol or benzine. but they
form readily in water And the
molecules in the thin films really
attract with some force, else the
bubbles would burst before they
become so large, The most elab-
orate mathematics is required to
handle molecular forces, fit only
fer technical journals.
