gyrOscope, to cause a torpedo TO
change its direction after leaving
the firing lube.
For this purpose the axis of spin
of the gyroscope wheel is set in the
direction in which it is desired that
the torpedo shall go after getting
clear Of the vessel from which it
started. This is called angle firing
and is so effective that a torpedo
discharged from. say. the starboard
side of the ship may. after getting
under way, cross the ships bow and
20 in straight line toward a mark
situated away off on the larboard
side of the bow. When used as a
compass the gyroscope simply indi-
Gates direction without acting upon
the steering mechanism.
Remember that all OF these phe-
nomena are based upon the one
simple principle that a spinning
body tends to keep its axis un-
changed i'm direction. II is because
the spinning earth obeys that law
that we have winter and summer
succeeding one another.
As the earth goes round the sun
it holds its slanting axis OF daily
rotation pointing toward star that
happens to lie nearly in line with
it in the northern hemisphere the
star Polaris-and thus the slope
of that axis is now toward and now
away from the. sun, so that the
latter appears during one-half the
year above, and during the other
half below the equator.

when IL discusses business affairs. Now it records the

Fears Of higher prices in the clothing industry
therefore said be unjustifed. And in regard to
various other commodities the situation is still more
hopeful.

The Simple Magic of the Gyroscope
By GARRETT p. sERVIss

A reader asks how a gyroscope
acts, and how it can be used to
guide a torpedo or steer a ship. The
gyroscOpe Cor the gyrostat. another
form Of the same curious mechan-
ISM performs so many practical
paradoXes that those who do not
understand the principle OF it's
working might be excused for re-
garding il as a mechanical witch
The secret Of its singular power
resides in certain properties peculiar
TO spinning bodies. An ordinary top
is an example Of gyroscopic action.
since il is the effect of the spin that
keeps the top erect on its peg as
long as its spinning motion con-
tinues. The moment that ceases the
top fails over on its side. A bicycle
in motion also involves the principle
OF the gyroscope.
Without this principle TO cid them
the best jugglers on the staga would
be unable TO perform many OF their
apparent wonders. such as catching
by the handle an endless string Of
knives thrown high in the air with
one hand and recovered with the
other; or pitching hats or cards or
other objects with what seems al
most miraculous power. TO guide
them and make them 90 exactly
where the thrower wishes. or even
to come back 10 him.

All these things. and a thousand
others not less amazing TO the Un-
initiated, depend upon the princi-
pie that any body spinning about
an axis tends to hold that axis
steady 20 the direction i'm which it
pointed when the spin began. and
resists any force that strives TO
change the direction Thus the
spinning top stands upright because
its axis of rotation is the upright

as a whirling disk Of steel. and

loud whack, az If il had really been

America has an abundance of raw materials and
has dsbursed those materials lavishly At the
time large quantities of food been sold abroad in
the state. and thereby have surrendered mpor-

materials manufactured and when is refined,
the of the finished product materially increased
This increase goes in part TO labor and in part re-
the capital employed When these refined Amer
lean products sold abroad of the increase has

need is, first to increase the of production:
second, to eliminate all possible waste and third TO re.
