of streamline design. None of them
altered the crack IN the slightest de-
gree. was forced to conclude that
this whiplash crack was purely a
matter of velocity.
81 then began measuring velocity
while listening for cracks. 1 found
that there was a critical velocity
above which any kind of a bullet
would always crack, but below which
no kind OF bullet could be induced
TO crack.
Then the curious thing developed.
The Sunday telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1914-1927, 1916-02-06

@AN YOU tell why whiplash
cracks? Many men have OF.
fered many solutions - men
who have used cattle whips for years
and other men who have approached
the problem from a purely scientific
standpoint. Jeftry SLANT, an Aus
tralian bushman, who demonstrated
an amazing mastery over 3O.foot
stock whip, believed that the end OF
the lash, as it hecked out straight,
made vacuum into which the air
rushed and made the cracking sound.
He could split wood with the lash;
send 1t around ones neck without in
jury to the person; rope q persons
wrists together while 20 feet away
cut In two an apple held in the hand
OF woman without hurting the
hand; and, lastly. could make the
whip crack like small-arm fusillade.
We have taken pose Of Mr.. SLANT
throwing his whip to illustrate the
theory advanced by E. Z. Larson OF
Thompson, la. Figure l." says he,
Represents lash of a cattle whip
set In motion in the direction of the
arrow (a), causing current OF air
in its wake. When the whip is re-
versed, as shown in figure 2, it will
5roll back on the free end, which now
moves by its own momentum, but
not as fast as the part rolled back,
causing another current as shown by
arrow ~.
When the lash is completely I'M
rolled as in Fig. the two currents
Of air will meet with conclusion.
Two essentials are required; 1t must
be slim taper SO the two currents
Of air will be gradually brought In
line, and 1t must be pliable so it Will
not retard the motion of the free end
while rolling back"
Calls 1t Electric.
Jessie NJ. Jones OF Canton, Pa,
tells the Scientific American that he
came to a conclusion, not from using
q whip himself, but by watching a
snapper under unusual circum-
stances. II was in half.illumined
harness store where the merchant
happened to be trying whips he
testitles. "One particularly loud snap
produced an electric spark at the end
OF the lash. All of a sudden the idea
occurred to ME that the snap was not
made by the lash at all. but was pro-
duced BY the action of the lash d.
Hdin0 the air and that il tcds the IN
Simultaneous conclusion of the air
that produced the snap and the cleo
trio spark was the friction caused by
the division Of the currents of air,
the same as In thunderstorm. Why
not?"
You would scarcely suspect that
the speeding of bullets might solve
the mystery, and that bullet can
crack Just like a whip; but that this
Is so we have the very interesting
testimony Of Hiram Mercy Maxim,
the inventor of the gun-silenctr. He

 Mrs. Phil Hickey has undergone the operation for which she went out side and she is progressing very favorably. Mir. Hickey received the announcement of her oonvalescence in the last mail. The operation was un- dergone in California.
 Dr. 1. Knickerbocker, fromerly a prominent dentist of Nome, came to seward on the Alameda with Mrs. Knickerbocker. He was here last summer and will probably decide to reside in this part of the territory.
 w. J. Carpenter writes the Gate way from Watthill, Nebraska, that he will come back to Seward on one of the first spring boats. He lived here in 1905 and 1906 and saw the first rails laid on the Alaska Central railroad.
 Mrs. Dehne has returned to Seward and made the departure of the Dora look like old times today when she stood on the dock to say farewell" to Mir. Dehne
 Ben Labaree writes from Spokane that the preliminary work of estab- fishing hotel here is proceeding all right. He will leave for Seward about the first of April. He mentions incidentally the fact that an immense number of people are talking of com ing to Seward.
 Miss Alice Alexander and Paul Heath went out on the Alameda and Dame Rumor has been busy with the suggestion that Miss Alexander will change her name to Heath and that a Mir. and Mrs. Heath will reside in future at Spokane.
 Rev. Mir. Molony has received word of the promotion of his nephew from the ranks to lieutenancy in an Irish regiment in France. The nephew is an elder brother of Captain Herbert Tozier who was wounded at the Dar- danelles. He joined the army when the war broke out and his promotion was rapid.
 After all the trouble in finding a suitable piano the Pioneers commit tee, composed of Messrs.

BRILLIANT DEBATE
 AT CITY COUNCIL
Local Statesmen Indulge in Eloquent Periods Over the Wharf
 Question.

The city council held a meeting last
 Monday evening which will probably go down in history for several
 reasons. The chief subject for dis cussion was connected with the ap- plication for the opening of First avenue at the approach to the propos- cd wharf to be built by Derrick Lane and his associates. City Attorney Coppernon stated that the application for the opening of the street had not been presented in the proper way, and no petition had been presented by the property holders, but Judge J. J. Fin negan, attorney for Mir. Lane and ths others showed the city attorney that no such petition was necessary
 "When a man gets up in this council
 and says the city could not have the street opened it is nonsense" said Mr.
 Finnegan. Mir. Coppernoll countered by declaring that the specifications presented by Messrs Lane ard Comp any where misleading but Mr. Fin uegan got back by declaring that the city attorney had stated previously that he knew nothing about such matters. Another striking phrase uttered by Judge Finnegan was that "the men opposed to the proposed wharf haven't the "guts" to come out openly and attack it" In the legal phase of the question Finnegan clear ly had the advantage, but then came COuncilmen Borgen into the discus sion and the debate assumed an erudite aspect. The last named spoke about "egress' into the city or bay or something and he became terribly
 fluent. He waxed still more eloquent when Councilmen Youngs brought up matter connected with printing. Mir. YOung5 stated that he had gone to the city clerk to ask a question to find out how much money the city rad squandered in printing in their paper and the next thing he saw was the account of the fact in the organ. There must be some underground wires" said Mr. Youngs. Some of the members of the council interrupt ed him continuously during his re- marks and the chair never made a move to let his colleague be heard. Mayor Myers was not present. It was then that Alderman Borgen broke forth in all his subtlety He directed his remarks, needless to say, at the Gateway although the poor Gateway was not the subject, and he declared barefacedly that the Gate way had called him a foreigner. His subtlety at last became so pronounced that it is difficult to reproduce his speech and it is probably lost to posterity. He also said something about giving away an electric light franchise and when Judge Finnegan from the hall, reminded him that he had not voted against the franchise
 the alderman seemed to lose control of his eloquence. In Mir. Youngs re- marks appeared the sentence: charity printing institution" and a few others. "If you have money to waste" said he, "give it to the work ! ingman for work to improve the city"
