The First Romanoff.

Romanoff is the name of the Rus
sian imperial dynasty reSnant In the
male line from 1913 to 1880, and
thenceforward in the female line Con-
stant intermarriaGes with German
princely houses, however, have made
the Romanoff strain of today more
German than Russian. Nay; the old
est ancestor of the house of Roman
off, Andrew Kobyla, is said to have
ccme to Moscow from Prussia GS41).
The name Romanoff was given to the
family by the boyar Roman Yurie-
witch, the fifth OF direct descent from
Andrew, who succeeded in getting a
female member of his family on the
throne Of the czars by marrying his
daughter to Ivan the Terrible. In
February. 1913, Mikhael Feodorvitch
Romnnoff, boy of seventeen. was pro-
claimed car, grand duke and autocrat
OF all the Russias In the Red square
of Moscow. With this accession to
the throne OF the famous. or rather III
famed, dynasty began 304 years
misrule that-let us hope-has ended
forever with the forced abdication OF
Ear Nicholas. in March, 1917.

DRIVING RlVETS SLOW WORK
Not Only That, but Enormous Number
of Them Are Needed in
Steel Sair

The largest single item in the labor
Of fabricatip. steel ship is in the
riveting of her hull; therefore the
driving of rivets is taken as standard
of size and of progress by most of the
shipbuilders. To build a 10000 ton
ship a week means the driving of
about 650,0OO rivets in that time. The
Union shipyards of San Francisco. as
at present equipped and freed from Ia
Dor troubles. can drive about 100000
rivets although in record week 1t
drove 411,000 rivets; the four next
largest yards in America-at Fore Riv-
er. Mass, at Newport News, Va, at
Camden, and at Philadelphia upon the
Delaware-can drive 100000 to 275,OOO
rivets a week each. A half dozen
smaller steel shipyards will drive from
10000 to 10000 each seven days.
Riveting, despite all the inventions
devised to speed it up, remains hand
work and slow work A riveting gang
consists of two men and two boys
the riveter his "holder-on," the passer
boy and the heater boy. The gang
drives from 300 to 375 rivets in the
course of a ten-hour day and is tired
at the end of it. But when You know
that it takes four men all of a working
day 10 drive an average of little less
than $50 rivets, you can begin TO see
the full size of the labor problem of
driving at least 65O,OOO rivets a week
necessary TO turn out a 100O0-ton
ship at the end of that length of time.
In other words, you need 1000 men for
thp riyptfutr ramos a1oua
Look at the matter from another an
gle, writes Edward Hungerford in Har-
per's. Ten ships a week-the tremen-
dous program for 1913 10 which we
stand committed-means 100000 riv-
cts week. And the rivet capacity of
our five greatest yards-with a total
working force of $4,000 men at the end
of 1917-was but 1,35O,OOO rivets a
week. And riveting represents only
about 90 per cent in the construction
of Q ship.

the new pay book" scheme recently
started American soldiers no longer
will have to wait months for their pay
because their service records happen
to be DELAYED or irregular. Each
soldier viii be given a little book,
which will have almost the facility
of a handbook enabling him to collect
from Uncle Sam At the beginning of
every month. the holder of pay
book can collect the past months
pay promptly. Another radical inn
vocation provides that men arriving

for fractional parts of month. The

RAISE MISCHIEF WITH WIRES
Remarkable Effect of Aurora Borealis
on the Telegraph Wires Of
the Country.

When the aurora borealis, or north
ern lights" pay us visit there is
trouble on all the telegraph and tele-
phone lines. The reason for this
seems to be that the aurora borealis.
which is really an unusual electric
emanation from the sun, sets up ab-
normal earth currents. The strength
of these currents has been measured
many times and found to have poten-
tial varying between 425 volts positive
and 225 volts negative and resist
ance of about 1000 ohms
Donald McNicol, assistant electrical
engineer of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany. who has given much study to
this subject. made an official report in
1892, quoted in the Electrical Experi-
menter, in which he described the eff
feCts of earth currents on the ten At
tantic cables then in existence. Most
affected was that from Brest to Mique-
Ion island, and the disturbances were
greater at the western than Mt the
eastern end. so that often ST. Pierre
could send messages to Brest but could
not receive any.
Long cables were more affected than
short ones, southerly ones more than
northerly ones, and the abnormal cur
rents seemed to travel mostly from
east to west. Sometimes the earth cur
rents are so strong that they injure the
condensers. But they are most erratic
in their nature and behavior
