THE SPEED OF SHIPS.
Influence of the Depth Of Water and
the "Wsvs Of Transtation."s

the "Wavs Of Trsnslation."
On trst thought the seas depth
seems Of little Importance II the ship
6nds depth enough to give her an easy
draft. II she can run free apparently
Il makes little difference whether abe
has six feet or 600 feet between her
keel and the bottom, Such an infer
snce Ii, however. erroneous. tor tho
depth exercises an important influence.
The British cruisers Blake aud Blen-
helm were expected to- run twenty one
knots, but actually ran two knots less
In shallow water. They ran again un-
der tho same power. but tho depth
was between laa and l6a feet. and
their speed was twenty-five knots, one
knot In excess Of the maximun cal
culation.
The difference In speed is attributed
to tho influence OF the wave Of trans
lation" displaced by the ship as she
moves forward. which acts as a brake.
The nearer the ships keel to the bot
tom the stronger the friction. A ship
drawing twenty.seren feet OF water
say ship OF 1900 tonnage-feels
that friction over Il depth Of 80 feet.
According to some calculations, the
dragging influence ceases tn DO felt

times the draft 1.-THE ship stands high
out OF the water.
A curious feature OF the matter Is
that the speed OF the ship is AS impor-
tAnt an element as the depth OF the
wSter-that is to say. the influence OF
the depth on the ships speed Is more
Or less powerful Ia proportion as the
speed Is great. \ ship increases her
speed more readily over deep water:
but, on the other hand. the faster a
ship runs the more depth OF water she
requires to prevent the hindrance
caused by the dragging influence OF

the ships keel senses" bottom
Running ten knots an hour, Il ship
must have between twenty and
twenty-seven feet OF depth or she is

City Collector Chas. J. Forsberg,
who, on instructions from Mayor

public Friday the list of other organ

He read the list at a meeting of cOun-

The Rise of Newfoundland.

Newfoundland has had curious his

covered 1t in 1897. and in 1898 Sir Hum
phrey Gilbert annexed its wild and
rocky shores for Queen Elizabeth. Yet
until 13o years ago it was illegal to
build a permanent house there. The
island was held by merchant adven-
turers" for the sake OF the fisheries.
They hired their fishermen in England,
took them across the Atlantic each
spring and brought them back at the
commencement Of winter.
Newfoundland's Importance in the
cod fishery arises 10 a great extent
from the fact that it Is only within her
waters that the small fish desirable as
bait can be obtained in the necessary

Geographic Positions Determined.

! As a part of its preliminary or "con
trol' work in the making of accurat,
maps, the United States geological sur
vey is obliged to determine the geograph
! ic positions of many points in each area
surveyed These determine tions are de
pendent on astronomic ATTITUDES anc
longitudes and on carefully executed tri.
angulation or primary traverse. Incl
dentally, the true azimuths or bearings
and lengths of the many lines measured
are also determined.
The geological survey advises and
urges engineers and surveyors to con
meet their work by direct measurements
with all available geographic positions;
by so doing they are enabled to check
many of their measurements and thus
avoid the possibility of blunders or err
rors in their results. Such checks are
especially useful in mining surveys and
in surveys for county boundaries, and in
extensive surveys of oil, coal or timber
lands. Besides the actual use of the
geographic data in surveying of various
kinds, they are of no little interest to
the general public.
To have the results of this class of
work in convenient form for it's own use
and for the general information of 9th
ers, the geological survey publishes them
every two or three years as bulletins for
free distribution. The volume for the
years 1918 to 1915 inclusive bulletin
644) is just coming from the press in
parts covering single states or groups of
states Bulletin 644-A, containing data
for AIo hama opd North Cornlipa is po,,,
available for distribution and may be
obtained on request to the director of
the survey at Washington, D. c. The
II parts will be available

Hot Weather Drinks

With the coming of hot weather thirs

ade made on call with cold water, using
simply the Juice of the lemon, lacks thu
zest and favor obtained by more careful
preparation The distinctive flavor OF
the fruit lies in the oil cells of the outer
rind, and this is best obtained by the
friction of loaf sugar against the skin
or by the use of boiling water.
The ideal lemonade should stand some

properly made home lemonade is usual

As the skin is to be used, the first
thing is to make sure that it is perfectly
clean and free from the little dark
patches which are the eggs of parasite

water and a small vegetable brush.

to the two-thirds glass of lemon water.
A maraschino cherry adds a bit of color,
ind thin slice of orange gives a pleas

Where more nourishment is needed,
egg lemonade fills the bill. This may be
simply the white of an egg beaten light

richer in this way: Pour pint of boil

The airship raids on the coast of Eng
land have lost great deal of their ter
ror for the inhabitants of that region
chiefly perhaps because of the advanced
methods put into operation for warding
off the attacks of the big Zeppelins. 1t
has been several months since a really
formidable attack has met with any de-
gree of success df killing civilians can be
counted as constituting success. If two
OF three of the air machines could be
brought down by aeroplanes or by FIRE
from the guns located on land, the Yep
pelin attack would be deprived of its
seeming value to the Germans, and it
would be undertaken with considerable
trepidation.
