Old Timber for NewShips

A writer in "The Boston Globe" sub
mits the following as an interesting side
light on Americas great shipbuilding
industry:
According to the rings of the stumps
of big oaks cut at Winnegance, Me-, this
season for shipbuilding number of the
trees were from 100 to 1875 years old, and
some had been growing for $50 years. The
Morse sawmill at Winnegance has been
operated for more than 100 years. The
original frame of the mill is still there, as
sound as ever some Of the hewn sticks of
timber being eighty feet in length"

Via Dynamite

T~HE UTILITY of dynamite in re-
storing the orchards of France
to the fiourshing and fruitful
state they enjoyed before the
advent of the Hun has been advanced
by Andre Piedallu, and is described as
follows in the February issue of "The
Scientific Americana:
"The process consists essentially in using
dynamite for the double purpose of breaking
up the earth and securing an intimate mix
ture of the required fertilizers with it. The
author had noticed the specially vigorous
development, of wild plants around the edges
of old shell holes and old trenches which had
suffered from heavy firing. He attributed
this vigor Of growth partly to the fssura-
tion of the soil and partly to its impregna-
ton with ntrogenous subjects. This view
was supported by some experiments made
several years ago in the western part of
the United States, in which wo-year-old
cnerry trees planted III holes excavated by
dynamite reached the height Of three metres
(about 10 feet), while similar specimens
planted by a spade remained spindling and
grew scarcely half as tall.
an. Piedallu applied his idea by placing
a suitable amount of fertilizer in con-
tainer surrounding the explosives, in such
a way that the force of the explosion would
drive the former into the minute cracks
produced, thus forming an ideal medium for
the growth of the young tree. The formula
of the explosive is not given, but it is stated
that it is not affected either by concusson
or dampness, is capable of being moulded, is
completely free from CELEBRATES (Which might
injure vegetation), is highly energetic in
small volumes, and cannot be detonated ex-
cept by Illuminating cap. The fertilizers
employed are chosen with special reference
to the character of the earth and the needs
OF the trees to be planted.
"The compressed fertilizer moulded around
nucleus of the explosive is placed In the
bottom Of a tube of celluloid, paper or card
board. The cylinder Of explosive. which con-
New-York tribune., 1919-02-23

tains cavity for the Illuminating charge, is
then placed in the top of the tube, the hole
being closed by stopper pierced by hole
through which passes Citing tightly
piece of Bickford cord connected with the
cap. Both the explosive charge and the mass
Of fertilizer adjoining it are covered with
paraffin. The application of the charge is very
simple and is said to save both time and
labor. hole like one used for placing a
mine is bored with pointed stick or iron
rod, somewhat larger in diameter than the
cartridge. This hole should be 60 cent?
metres deep (about 2 feet.)
"The explosion produces spheriodal cav
ity some 80 centimetres in depth (about 80
inches.) The earth absorbs the vapors liber-
ated and the young tree is then placed in
the hole and its roots covered with the
earth"

Did Gargantuan Squids Dev0urtheC C,vc10ns?

Elsenach, had described monstrons animal
which occasionally rose for plunder along
the coasts of Lapland and Finmark-so
enormous thatA regiment of soldiers could
conveniently maneuvre on it's back.
Less conscientious and more creduIous
than the Norwegian episcopal advocacy is
the testimony of Denys De Montfort. nigh
century later, beside whose Colossal
Poulpe,' the gigantic and predatory animal
described in the classics by Pliny was
mere pigmy.
DE Montfort gravely declared that six
men-o'-war captured from the French by
Admiral Rodney in the West Indies April
IL, 1882, together with four British ships
detached from the fleet as CONVOY were
suddenly engulfed by colossal cuttlefishes
He also records statement of Captain Jean
Megrus Deus by repute a respectable and
veracious man, trader to China, of an
instance when the captain was becalmed
and having his vessels bottom painted
while crossing from St. Helena to Cape
Negro.
"The story runs that three men were
standing on planks slung over the side
when an enormous cuttleish rose from the
water and threw one of it's arms around two
of the sailors, whom it tore awav with
the scaffolding on which they stood With
another arm it seized the third man, who
held on tightly to the rigging and screamed
for help. His shipmates ran to his assist
ance and succeeded in rescuing him by cut
ting away the creatures arms with axes and
knives, but he died delirious on the follow
ing night. The captain tried to save the
other two sailors by killing the animal, and
drove several harpoons into it, but they
broke away, and the men were carried down
by the monster. The arm cut off was said
to have been twenty-five feet long and as
thick as the mizzen yard and to have had
on it suckers as big as saucepan lids
"The means of observation on the dura-
tion of growth and life in the cephalopods
have been difficult to obtain. From watch
ing the rate of increase of size in young
specimens De Ferussac, D'Orbigny and other
naturalists have arrived at the conclusion
that they sometimes live for MANY wears
and continue to grow till the end of their
lives. That some, therefore, attain to a
considerable magnitude is hardly surprising.
New-York tribune., 1919-02-23
Mr.. Noble writes:

about the only possible explanation in
capable of contradiction is that Gargan-
tuan Squds-monster cuttlefish-treated of
in fiction and in fact may have reared
themselves out of the sea and, instead Of
winding their tentacles around the hulls
and rigging and crushing the structure to
matchwood before dragging it to their lair
at the bottom, may have helped themselves
to the ships people as delcately and
effectually as one plucks gooseberries off
bush-then sunk out of sight and left
scarcely a ripple behind
"The history of the ancient belief in the
existence of gigantic cephalopods is some
what obscure. All we know Of it is in
passages in the works of few old Greek
and Latin authors and series of Scandi-
navan traditions.
eric Pontoppdan, Bishop of Bergen, is
generally regarded as the inventor Of the
fabulous Kraken, and is constantly mis-
quoted by writers who have never read his
history of Norway.

all parts to terrestrial view. AS only
little over one-half is visible it must ro-
tate" But this inference is erroneous, for
it only admits of one alternative There
are an infinite number Of axes besides it's
own on each of which the moon might turn
and still exhibit the same popularity.
l have stated in my article that the moon
rotates about an axis, passing through the
centre of the earth, which is not strictly
true, but does not vitiate the conclusions
have drawn. 1t is we'll known, of course
that the two bodies revolve around COM
mon centre Of gravity which is at q dis
tance of a little over 1880 miles from the
earth's centre.
Another mistake in books on astronomy is
made in considering this motion equivalent
to that of a weight whirled on a string or
in sling. In the first place, there is an
essential difference between these two de-
vices though involving the same mechanical
principle. If metal ball attached to a
string is whirled around and the latter
breaks an axia rotation of the missile re-
suits which is definitely related in magn-
tude and direction to the motion preceding.
BY way of illustrations: If the ball Is
whirled on the string clockwise, ten times
a second, then when it flies off it will
rotate on it's axis twenty times second,
likewise in the direction of clock Quite
different are the conditions when the ball
is thrown from a sling. In this case q
much more rapid rotation is impaired to it
in the opposite sense There is no \true
analogy to these in the motion Of the moon.
If the gravitational string, as it were would
snap, the satellite would go off in a tangent
without the slightest swerving or rotation,
for there is no momentum about the axis
and, consequently, no tendency whatever to
spinning motion.
Mr.. Manerre is mistaken in his surmlse
as to what would happen if the earth we're
suddenly eliminated. Let US suppose that
this would occur at the instant when the
moon is in opposition Then it would con-
tinue on it's elliptical path around the sun,
presenting to it steadily the face which was
always exposed to the earth. If, on the
other hand, the latter would disappear at
the moment Of conjunction, the moon would
gradually swing around through 1870 do
grees and, after a number of oscillations,
revolvc again with the same fdce to the sun.
In either case there would be no periodic
changes, but eternal day and night, respect
lively, on the sides turned toward and away
from the luminary.--NIKOLA TESLA.

Zeppelin Flight to East
Africa

Information regarding a remarkable flight
of German Zeppelin has recently been
reported by British correspondent who
learned the facts since the coming of peace.
German airship, it is said, left Bulgaria
carrying crew of twenty-five men. tons
of munitions, and medical supplies, bound
for German East Africa, which is APPROX
imately 1900 miles from Bulgaria. Ac-
cording to the account, while the ship was
flying over khartum, it received a wireless
message ordering it to return, the Germans
having learned that the majority of their
troops in their African territory had sur
rendered.--From Popular Mechanics.

Montfo supposed by ancents disappearance of
ships F he National Marine

ESPITE the exhaustive search
4 by the United States navy of
-QO every nook and corner of the
Caribbean, the loss of the naval
collier Cyclops still remains a mystery.
The usual explanations for the loss Of
vessel last seen almost year ago, sail
ing apparently under perfect control with
a complement of 295 men and with such
a modern appliance as the wireless, do
not suffice for the collier's disappearance.
If prize of a German raider, it would
have been learned by now; if victim of
a German submarine, wreckage would
have been found; which is true also if
the vessel had struck one of those un-
charted rocks. Was the Cyclops, no
tably a top-heavy ship, sunk without
all trace by laundering in one of the
heavy tropical storms? Or shall the
theory be accepted which George Noble
advances in 'The National Marine" that
the Cyclops has sailed away to join those
other seventeen ships of our navy which
have disappeared just as mysteriously
since 1881?

x RAY

sN VARIOUS types of X-ray appara.
tus were developed and used in
the army during the war with the most
gratifying results" declares an edi-
torial in "The Army and Navy Regis
ter which continues:
each type was subjected to the most
thorough tests in actual service and proved
its usefulness. Special mention should be
made of the portable set which was in
stalled in motor ambulance and moved
expeditiously to the advanced lines, where
it rer cred inestimable service to the sur
geony. Of equal value has been the bed
side set, a small, portable affair, which
can be carried by hospital attendant Or
rolled on casters directly to the cot of
patient This set has been utilized on a
large scale in the treatment of influenza
and pneumonia cases; in Walter Reed Hos
pital 1900 patients suffering with the epi-
demic have been photographed, the pict-
ures being taken without disturbing the
patient In the slightest degree. The value
OF the X-ray in the treatment Of pneumonia
has been amply demonstrated and there is
no doubt that the use of these handy sets
in active use at Hospital No. IL, Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ga; at Camp Devens, Camp Lewis
and various other places with excellent re-
suits At Camp Lewis record in exami-
nations was made which has probably
never been exceeded; no less than 10000
exposures were made of which 14,0sO were

broken in the number, as we'll as the
promptness of examinations to detect, not
merely the presence of disease, but of
foreign bodies of broken parts, etc. Both
these A-ray sets are purely American in

sponsible for it take pride is the fact that

Correspondence
Tesla answers MIR. Manierre
and further explains the
axial rotation of the moon
In your article of February Mr..

N1R:
In your article of February Mr.
4 , Charles E. Manierre, commenting
upon my article in "The Electrical
Expermenter" for February, which ap-
peared in The Tribune of January &c, sug-
gests that l give definition of axial rota-
ton.
1 intended to be explicit on this point
as may be judged from the following quo
tation: "The unfailing test of the spin
ming of a mass is, however, the existence
Of energy of motion. The moon is not
possessed of such Wis viva" BY this
meant that "axial rotation" is not simply
"rotation upon an axis" as nonchalantly de-
fined in dictionaries, but is circular mo-
tion in the true physical sensc-that is one
in which half the product Of the mass with
the square of velocity is definite and
positive quantity.
The moon is nearly spherical body, of
radius of about 1,081.5 miles, from which
l calculate it's volume to be approximately
b,300,2l6,30O cubic miles. Since it's mean
density is 3.27, one cubic foot of material
composing it weighs close to 2O5 pounds
Accordingly, the total weight of the satel-
lite is about 79,989 900, ,000, ,000, 600 and
it's mass 2,4s3,5O0,o0o, 900 900, 900 terrestrial
short tons. Assuming that the moon does
physically rotate upon its axis, it performs
ono revolution in 81 days hours 43 min
utcs and II seconds, or 2,560,591 seconds.
If, in conformity with mathematical prin-
ciples, we imagine the entire mass concen-
tratcd at distance from the centre equal
to o-ffths of the radius, then the cacu-
lated rotational velocity is 304 feet per
second, at which the globe would contain
11,474, 900 coo, ,000, 100000 short foot tons Of
energy, sufficient to run 1,000,00O,O0O horse
