PARADE PICTURES
GO TO WASHINGTON
Films of Historic Pageant Re-
viewed by President to Be
Shown at Capital.
NEBRASKANS THERE ALIVE

The historical pageant reviewed by
President Wilson in Omaha last fall
is to be reviewed again in Washing
ton on March l. This time, however,
it will be the moving picture film Of
the parade, made for the Board of
Governors OF Ak Sar-Ben that will be
shown.
The Nebraska State association of
Washington on March / will cele-
brate the semi-centennial anniversary
OF the admission of the state into the
union, and is planning for some real
doings. In order that the affair may
be given the utmost OF an home-like
atmosphere on that occasion, II. A.
Harding, president of the association,
has written to Victor Rosewater, ask
ing him to arrange for the use OF the
film on that night
Mr.. Rosewater laid the proposition
before Z. Buckingham of the Ak-Sar-
Ben board, and has received assurance
that the film will be in Washington
on the date mentioned.
What Plans Include.
Plans for the associations cele-
bration include banquet at the New
Ebbitt on the evening of March |, at
which a number OF special features
will be shown. The Omaha parade
will be the main event, and it will give
the exiles, who have not been home
for so long time, some idea Of what
is going on out here. At any rate,
they will see President Wilson con-
ironted with the biggest crowd he
ever faced, and will see Omaha and
Nebraska on dress parade and good
behavior. Outsiders who may be
guests of the association that night
will also get much better notion Of
the importance Of tie city and state
from this showing Distinguished
speakers have been invited to address
the society, and much enthusiasm is
already engendered.
E. c. Snyder, The Bees Washing
ton correspondent, is looking after the
publicity for the celebration, which
means it is being thoroughly exploited
in and around Washington.

Two Arrested on Charge
Of Passing Forged Checks

Ray Jordan, 1914 Park avenue, ar
rested many times by the police on
various charges, was again arrested
yesterday afternoon with F. E. Pot
ter, who lives at the same address,
this time in connection with the float
ing of large amount of worthless
checks.
Potter was arrested when Joseph
Urzendowski, saloonkeeper at Twen-
ty-fourth and Hickory, held him for
the police when he attempted to cash
check. Potter had passed a bad one
there several weeks ago and Urzen-
dowski remembered him. At head
quarters, in confession made to
Chief of Detectives Maloney, Potter
implicated Jordan, naming him as the
man who did the pen work.

Audubon Society
Will Lend Slides
OF Bird Pictures

In response to early and determined
requests, the Audubon society, at its
regular meeting at the public library
Saturday, voted to loan its valu-
able new collection OF colored slides
OF native birds to any responsible Or
ganization or individual who desired
TO use the slides for lecture purposes.
Mrs. Roy King OF the Civic club
OF Superior, Z. Holch OF the Alliance
High school faculty, and Robert
Thomson, bird lover OF Plaipview,
have already written to DR.. Solbh X.
Towne OF the society, seeking to bor-
row the slides and secure bird
lecturers.
1t is understood that at least one Of
these persons is coming TO Omaha
for the Enos Mills bird lecture at the
First Methodist church, Monday eve
ming, February 26. when the slides
will be publicly projected for the first
time.
At last nights meeting a review
OF plans for the Enos Mills lecture
disclosed that there is imminent prob
ability OF overseeing the seating
capacity OF the Auditorium, as inter-
est in the affair is keen on account
OF the speakers prominence as a
naturalist.
In addition the slides themselves
are attracting much attention, as
they are the only ones of their kind
owned by bird organization and
were hand.painted at great expense
BY Louis Agassiz Fuertes, who is
recognized as the worlds foremost
bird artist.
Members of the Auduban society
will have limited number OF tickets for
sale early this week Members will
be admitted free, children will be
charged 10 cents and the general pub

Marvels of the Torpedo--HoW Its
Course Is Kept ON Way to Mark

spring. whose force has been so cal
cuatcd as to equal the water pres
sure at the selected depth. When
the torpedo is at that depth, and run
ming on a horizontal line, the valve of
the engine remains in a position
which gives the rudder just the right
inclination to keep the torpedo on an
even keel
But if for any reason the torpedo
begins TO dip lower, the increased
water pressure overmatches the
spring and pushes the piston III such
a way that the rudder swings the tor
pcdo's head upward until the decrease
of water pressure restores the original
balance. ."
If on the contrary, the torpedo
swcrvcs toward the surface, the de-
crease of pressure causes the piston
and consequently the rudder, to move
in the opposite direction and the head
of the torpedo is depressed,
The part played by the pendulum,
which is connected with the piston by
system OF levers, is equally intere<
ing and important 1t acts as kind
OF governor for the steering engine,
and its importance arises from the
fact that when the course of the tor
pedo has been changed up or down
by the movement of the valve, the in
cinati IL is apt to become so great
that the torpedo may shoot out of
water or plunge to the bottom before
a balance can be restored.
This the pendulum prevents, be-
cause when the inclination becomes
too great it swings so far as to press
the valve back. Thus the course of a
torpedo, which may be travelling
thirty or forty miles an hour, at a
depth of fifteen or twenty feet. be-
meath the surface of the sea, is almost
as unswerving as that of projectile
in the, air. But it has the advantage
over projectile that it travels in a
horizontal plane, instead of continu-
ally falling in a parabolic curve to-
ward the earth's center,
The motive power of torpedo is
usually furnished by compressed air,
and the engines that drive it call for
other ingenious and delicate mechan-
isms, The range depends upon the
quantity OF compressed air that can
be carried as wei, as upon the per-
lection of the engines through which
it is applied.
/ A great deal also depends upon the
shape of the torpedo, externally, They
are usually of cigar shape, and the
precise form and curvature given tc
them is determined by theoretical cal
culation OF the water resistance, cor
rected by the results of elaborate ex
periments. II as much money and in
genuity had been expended upon as
tronimical instruments as upon these
machines for destroying human lif,
and property, we might now know
the most wonderful secrets of tht
heavens, but the majority of men care
little about such impractical things
as-the~ heavens.

meath the surface so that, as it speeds
on its way. it neither shoots up out
of the water nor dives downward to
greater depth. The general princi-
pie on which this indispensable quail
ity Of torpedo rests is that of a bal
ance OF forces. Ordinarily the weight
of the torpedo is nearly the same as
the weight OF an equal volume of
water, so that il not in motion it
would have just enough buoyancy to
keep It awash at the surface.
| , A horizontal rudder abaft the pro-
pellers governs its up or down mo-
ton in the water in the same way
>hat vertical rudder governs the side
TO side motion of an ordinary boat.
| Torpcdoes may be started from either
above or below the water line. be-
lievc the general practice now is to
start them below the water line. They
are fired from submerged tube, and
il they have tendency to rise the
horizontal rudder counteracts this
tendency and keeps them on an even
keel, just as an ordinary rudder can
1 counteract the effect of a cross cur
rent, or Of irregular rowing, on the
direction Of boat.

the torpedo in straight course to,

means OF automatic steering devices
to cause a torpedo to turn at any an,
