Scholarship trustees for the Ne
braska Federation of Womcn's Clubs
held their annual meeting in the
Office of Bishop Arthur L. Williams
Tuesday. to make awards on applica-
tions for loans and scholarships. The
awards will not be made public until
approved by the Lincoln trustees,
who were unable to attend the meet
ing.
Mrs. Frederick H. Cole, the chair
man; Mrs. James c. Dahlman. Su-
perintendent Graft and Dr. d. E.

Ak Sar. Ben Boosters Want
Three Thousand Members
Who Have Pep"
SOCIETY HAS PROSPERED

The goal is set at 5000 members for
Ak-Sar- Ben this year. This was def
intcly determined at the annual meet
ing OF the board of governors last
night at the Omaha club.
One-tenth of the members are all
ready paid up for this year, The an
nual payment of $40 is due and many
have already been renewing their
memberships, even though the mem
bership hustling committee will not
be organized yet for a month or
two. The result is that 500 members
are already paid up.
The membership last year was 2,S45.
This~means that only 155 extras will
have TO be enlisted this year to reach
the 5000 goal.
The dates of the carnival were fixed
at September 20 to October g, though
the location Of the carnival grounds
has not been decided.

In spite OF the fact that Ak-Sar7-
Ben spent some $4,000 more last
year than ever before, due to the
large expense of putting on the his
torical parade, the financial state
ment showed prosperity, revealing
$500 in the treasury at the close OF
the year. Aside from the extra en-
pensc of $4,000 for the historical pa
rade $500 was paid as first pay

SUMNER COURSE AT U. v. M.
Applied Physiology, Hygiene and
First Aid included.

Burlington-A course in applied
physiology, hygiene and first aid will
be given in the University of YER
mont summer school by DR.. H. c.
Tinkham, dean Of the college OF
medicine, assisted by other members
of the medical faculty. The course
is not intended to take up a detailed
study of physiology. 1t will include
just enough discussion of the struc-
ture of the body and the functions
Of the various organs to make II
possible to point out clearly the ap-
plication of this subject to the prin-
ciples of hygiene and sanitation.
The subject Of first aid will be
treated following somewhat the
course as outlined by the Red Cross.
This course is offered to meet a need
which existed long before the war,
but its need has been brought TO
public attention more prominently
by wal conditions.

termed after the modern Zeppelin fly
ing machine, having the front end
in the form of q hyperbola and the
rear end tapered off, so as to offer
the least possible resistance to the
air as the car shoots forward at the
rate of 500 miles per hour.
A series of powerful levitating cleo
tro-magnets are mounted under the
floor and within the shell of the car as
shown. A high-tension alternating
current Is supplied Over feed wires
carried OF cross arms at the top of
the tubular track system, and this
current could be taken into the car
through special contact shoes or
wheels on either side of the car body
this alternating current being used to
excite the .%levitating magnets for lift
ing the car from the track.
Material for Road Bed.
The road bed is built up of a spe-
rail, with a lower sub-rail of iron at
station approaches. A small storage
battery could be carried at the rear
of the car so that in slowing down or
stopping, instead of exciting the
levitating magnets with alternating
current they could be charged with
direct current from the storage bat
terry, and thus a greater fractional eff

and the rail. The flux from the cleo

this case, react on the iron sub-rail.

noids placed along the track. The de-
tails of switching, etc, are not given,

which this could be taken care of, but

How would you like to be able to
breakfast in New York city and lunch
in San Francisco on the same day?
This is n of the possibilities Of
the day that science may soon make
a reality by enabling engineers to con-
struct an electric railway over which
trains will rush at the unprecedented
speed of 500 miles an hour, which is
at the rate of eight and one-third
miles per minute.
An electric railway capable of de-
veloping such a marvellous speed is
n of the problems that is engross-
Ing some of the master minds of the
science of engineering of two CONT
nentS. This matter vas preached by
Prof. Boris PetrOvik Weinberg, in
structor in mechanical engineering at
the Imperial university of Petrograd,
at the recent New York meeting of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science. Professor
Weinberg has even built a model of
his proposed 500-mile-per-hour-electric
railway.
Ultra High Speed System.
AS a matter of fact, scientists have
evolved a system for ultra high speed
railway lOCOmOtion, as great as 800
miles an hour, by utilizing the little
known method of eliminating friction
by what electrical engineers call
electromagnetic levitation," which
was developed by Emile Bachelet, a
former resident of Mount Vernon, N.
Y, but now engaged in reasearch
work in England.
The underlying principle of electro
magnetic deviation, as followed out
by the Bachelet floating railroad sys-
TEN, is readily understood by refer
ling to the accompanying illustra-

well built at modest cost. Our mer-

and shipping men on the Pacific coast
who believe in China's possibilities are
looking forward with eagerness to the

in some of the schemes developed in
this direction, the opening and closing
of the sOlenoid circuits as the car prog
resses on its way, is functioned or
cared for by the movement of the car
itself. In other words the car, as it
moves along, passes over a set Of cleo
trical contacts placed between solenoid
points, so that the solenOid is de-
%energized just as the car approaches
it the momentum of the car carrying
it forward owing to the powerful mag
netic pull of the solenoid which had
acted on the car a brief instant be-
fore.

BLOCK SIGNALS ARE PRECISE
Only Once in $4,000 Times Do Auto
matte Devices Fail to Indicate In
Proper Manner.

Once in $4,000 times have automatic
block signals on the Southern Pacific
failed on the average to indicate prop
erly to the locomotive engineer, ac-
cording to recent records of the rail-
road company. This failure to record
Is not when danger is ahead, but when
the track is clear and the engineer is
held back. The record covers the pc
Rod of one year. There are about
1000 block signals in use on the sys-
TEN, representing an investment of $4,-
100000. In 1916 they performed about
100000 separate operations.

tons in which are shown in Fig. 2,
an electro-magnet coil NJ and ar
aluminium ring R.
Scientists have discovered that
passing an alternating trapidly
changing from positive to negative
and vice versa) current through the
magnet coil will produce, in turn, an
alternating or constantly changing
magnetic field. Such a field will re-
pei sheets or rings of copper or alum
mum, owing to the eddy currents
which are set up in them, the phase
of these eddy currents being retarded
by their s~elf-induction. Hence, if the
electromagnetic NJ is excited by an al
ternating current as in Fig. 2, and if
the aluminium ring r is held lightly
just above the pole of the magnet, the
alternating magnetic field will react in
the manner just described, and for
chilly prOpel the ring upward, causing
it to assume the position indicated
by the dotted ring.
Again, if the aluminium ring is held
by four cords and the alternating cur
rem passed through the magnet coil,
the ring will remain floating in space
above the magnet as shown. Scien-
lists also know that it is possible to
arrange an electromagnetic of proper
proportions between two horizontal
aluminium plates, and that when ex-
cited by an alternating current, the
reaction of the magnetic tluX set up
will lift the magnet coil above the
lower aluminium plate, and also cause
the upper aluminium plate to be levi
tated, or raised above the coil.
Revclutionizing Idea.
According to a writer in Elec-
trical EXperimenter, this is the germ
of the revolutioniZing idea in railroad
locomotives. This authority says that
by simply placing the levitated mag
nets within the car and constructing
the lower rail of properly spaced
aluminium inductor sections it would
become feasible to construct such a
levitated railroad, at various points
along which suitable rlng-shaped sole
noids or hollow tubular electro-mag-
nets could be placed 20 propel or pull
the car forward.
The accompanying diagram, Fig. 1,
shows several details of the levitated
electric railroad which, it Is believed,
would work out successfully, If the
engineering details are properly
taken care of.

So MILLION PIKE WILL BE TOTAL
HATCH ON LAKE.
Department Now Busy Stocking Pond,
Lake and Brook All Over State.


Burlington-With constant and re-
peated calls from all over the state
for fish to stock rivers and ponds.
the fish hatchery on the lake front,
which is being worked overtime
under the direction Of Warden Henry
N. Rowley, manages to keep up with
the demand.
By another week fully 5 millions
of wall-eyed pike and yellow perch
will have been Matched and distri-
buted in this section of the state.
Several million pike have been placed
in the Winooski river by Charles H.
Harrington for Mr.. Rowley and
every day large consignments leave,
the hatchery for distribution at va
rious points.
The railroads and transportation
companies carry the fish without
charge when accompanied by a mes
senger.
The pike are used to stock rivers
and lakes while the perch find their
way to smaller ponds in the rural
districts that are publicly fshed.
The eggs of the pike that are
Matched here were secured from
spawning beds in the Lamoille river;
those of the perch were taken from
Lake Caspian, Greensboro.
The hatchery Is in constant opera
ton night and day, men alternating
in shifts. A current Of water is kept
running through the containers by
means of an electric motor pump of
four horse power.
What is probably the most uniqua
vehicle in the States is a big tractor
wagon built to carry 80 tons. The
wagon has eight wheels and with nc
load weighs Is tons. 1t will be used
to transport machinery from Bran
don to the power plants in Salisbury
and at Lake Dunmore.
