DEVIL SHIPS IN WAFARe
One More Of the Ancient Methods Of
Fighting That 10 Being Brought
Into Wee To-day.

II was reported that "devil ships"
were used In modern warfare. These
''devil ships" are another Of those an
cient ways Of fighting Of which 80
many, like mortars and hand grenades,
have been revived In the fighting on
the continent.
A "devil ship" is a ship that has
been filed with explosives which dis
charge either by means Of fuse, or
clockwork, or when the ship hits an
other ship or obstacle. They were en-
ployed as long ago as 1886 by the
Dutch, when the prince Of Parma be-
sieged Antwerp. In those days they
were sent down the river to explode
against wooden bridge built by the
defenders Of Belglum's most Important
city. The "devil ships" used by the
Germans were exploded by means Of
clOckwork.
They mustn't be mixed up with fire
ships, also used by the German SOL
dlers. These ships are usually filed
with dry wood smothered In pitch, oil,
and other infammable material, and
when fred are sent drifting against
any defense work or ships Of the
enemy.

Color In Lighting.

The importance Of color In lighting.
which seems to have been little con-
sidered, was dwelt upon by NJ. Luck
iesh. In a late paper to the American
Illuminating Engineers society. The
eye is synthetic. giving color sensa-
tons from mixtures Of light OF differ
ent wave lengths. Colored lights may
differ In hue. depending on wave
length, in saturation and purity, due
to the presence or admixture OF white
light. and in luminosity. varying with
intensity. Color mixtures may be meas
ured from the contained primary coll
ors-such as red. green and blue. The
colors near the red end OF the spec
trum. especially suitable for rooms Of
northern exposure. give an effect Of
warmth; colors near the violet end are
cold. adapted for rooms facing south.
Artificial daylight can be had from
suitable absorbing glass.
