Special correspondent from " Washington

One Of the most interesting scientific
activities under Admiral Taylor's su-
pervtsion Is the Model Basin a. the
Washington Navy Yard. whose equip

Admiral Taylor has made legal as
well as nautical history. When the
Atlantic liner Olympia" and the
English Cruiser Hawke had their cot
lis.on of Cowes. England. in 1911. re-
sulting In a law suit, Admiral Taylor
was retained by the British Admiralty
as an expert witness on the question
OF suction. the English Government
having made this request OF the Unit,
ed States. The idea of suction had
never been accepted in an English
court before. but as a result of Tay-
lor's testimony based on actual expert
ments on hydraulic i~nteraction the
Judge accepted the phenomenon asa
fact and decided in favor Of the Ad-
miralty. This decision has since bee
sustained In the courts OF last resort.
1t may be asked why this unob-
trusive officer should have been
singled out by the Britishers in this
abrupt manner? Possibly the whole
story runs back to old Greenwich days
from IS to 'sS. For after complet-
ing his course at Annapolis as a cadet
engineer with the hig hest marks ever
received by a student there. before or
since. he was sent to England for fur
Their work In naval architecture and
marine engineering at the Royal
Naval Academy.
Young Taylor seems 70 have taken
kindly to this "~odueation." in view of
the fact that up 10 1905 his marks
had been equalled by any other
student at Greenwich. (Later mark
ings have not been given out). This
circumstance probably left Its impress
