GETTING DOWN TO BEDROCK

AS a people, we have been asked
to do a lot Of things since the world
war began, and particularly since our
entrance into the war. We have
been making munitions of war and
making money along with them. At
the request, to subscribe to two
great liberty loans On top of those
things we gave to the Red Gross in
generous measure. Then, we went
through a campaign for, the Y. M.
G.. A. and Knights of Columbus war
fund. And now we are in the midst
of a thrift campaign.
To add a touch of realization to
the plight of our Allies there came
the presidents proclamation calling
on all citizens to observe a more
strenuous programme of meatless,
porkless and vheatless periods. Along
with this we are given the cable
message from the British Food Con-
troller. Lord Rhondda. to Herbert
Hoover, the American Food Admin
istrator, which says:-"Unless you
arc able to send the Allies at least
100000 bushels of wheat over and
above what YOU have exported up to
January I, and in addition to the
total exportable surplus from Can
ada. I cannot take the responsibility
of assuring our people that there vii!
be food enough to win the war
At first sight this may seem like
an imposition on the American
people. On second sober thought it
will be easily seen that nothing short
of such a request could be made by
the man in charge of the food sit
uation in Great Britain. Food must
/ be saved by America so that the ma
lions cnea ged with US in an endeaVor
to defeat Germany may be able to
carry or their war work. The rea'
sons are, or should be. obvious.
Every sixth man in England is in
uniform. The man power of the ma
ton has been taken from the regu-
lar walks of productivity and placed
in the destructive work of warfare.
Harvests that ordinarily should have
been bumper crops turned out to be
dismal failures Shipping has been
upset, and valuable cargoes de-
stroyed. These are the few of many
contributing causes.
1t will require no great inconven-
fence on the part of the American
people to meet the demands of our
lighting friends across the Atlantic.

Modern man is a speed maniac.
From motor cars to movies he wants
action with capital A. Justly too,
perhaps, for the chemical and physi-
cal reactions in nature, from which he
derives his mechanical power are rapid
beyond measurement. The burst of
steam, the flash of explosion, the utter
spontaneity of chemical precipitation.
are constant goads to man. ambition
for greater, and ever greater, speed.
He vaguely comprehends their enorm-
Gus velocity. And he realizes that the
more nearly he can take advantage of
it the more economical and efficient

Molecular speed of superheated
steam may run into thousands of
miles per second. Yet the old time
Ironc1ad with its walking beam and
stumbling side-wheel propellers
could give a piston speed of only a
few feet per second. Marvellous pos
sibilities of the flashing particle Of
energized steam were lost.
High power and speed has de-
veloped in fast cruisers and ocean
going passenger vessels, Pistons
hum up and down with a. giddy swift
ness hitherto unknown. This sort
of thing is more in keeping with the
nature of Steam, which bends to
the task more willingly.
Now Genius has brought US tur-
bines. Parsons and Curtis have de-
yeloped their windmill type of en-
CINE Instead of the ponderous re-
ciprocating movement of awkward
pistons the new turbine consists of
thousands of little vanes mounted on
one large drum. and which turn al
ways in one direction. When the
eager steam shoots like a nor east
gale into this vast turnstiie 1t meets
with such gratifying equality Of
speed that it gives to the spinning
blades nearly the toal best Of its
vivacity and strength.
The torpedo turbine has been
another great triumph in efficiency.
Hot compressed air feeds through
the whirring blades exactly as in the
warship's high power turbine plant.
But the fact that it is truly a gas
means even more: it treasures us
that the oil turbine will be with
us yet.

Gas Turbine

BY Oil turbine we mean an ort2in-
airy explosion engine such as we
use now in aeros and autos, arranged
in such a way as to take full at
vantage of the tremendous power and
speed given the gases after ignition.
Even steam presents fewer POSSIBILITY
ties for nearly uncomfortable energy
than does the force of exploding
vapors impinging on high velocity
turbine blades.
But like a good many other gold
mines this one is pretty tough ro
work.
The trouble hes not so much In the
force of explosion as in the heat
generated. In ordinary gas engines
tenn eratures run up to 1000 degrees
G. with 1900 degrees as a, fair aver
age. Heavy pistons. and cylinders
can stand this. But thin and deli
catelv adjusted turbine vanes wilt be-s
fore the scorching blast like the COLI
lar on a fat mans neck. We cafa
hardly blame them when at suca
heat cast iron becomes liquid and
flows like warm mo1asses.
Many attempts have been made to-
circumnavigate this great drawback
So far al have fizzled In more senses
than one, the turbine jacket usually
blowing up with a cheerfu1ly de-
risve hiss in the experimenter'a
face. a0
One idea-so far successful-has
been to explode the gasoline or other
oil into a pear-shaped vessel FROM
which it flows by water-cooled noz~
zles into the turbine exactly as might
steam. Water jackets relieve ex-
treme temperatures without maters-s
ally reducing gaseous ve1ocities. Ana
since heat extracted by the waters
turns it to steam this energy is useG
by alternatingth steam JET with the
gas against the blades, keeping re1a-4
