CARGO SHIP RUN
BY ELECTRICITY

that electricity could be used success
fully in seagoing vessels.
When Admiral w. s. Benson was
chief Of naval operations he encour-
aged the adoption of the electric drive
for naval vessels. After he had retired
from the navy and was appointed to
his present position as chairman of
the shipping board his interest was
enlisted again In the electric drive as
the most economical method Of oper-
ating merchant vessels.
Economical, Says Benson.
The admiral is the first chairman Of
the shipping board to come out in
favor Of an electrically operated
merchant fleet.
II am convinced" he said, "of the
possibilities Of electricity in our mer-
chant marine.
1--WE have demonstrated on our bat
tleship that the electric drive is more
economical than the ordinary drive.
We must save every gallon Of fuel
Oil that we possibly can, and when !
say coal I say 1t with good deal Of
regret, because our competitors will
contend that we must 60 back to coal
burning; that we cannot get oil in all
parts of the world. or that 1t doesn't
pay, or something like that. II we
ever give up fuel-oil, unless we can
get something better, we might as well
take to the woods, and cut timber
for our fuel. We can't compete with
foreign competitors on any other
than an oil-fuel basis"

wind that passed through Santa
Clara tossed J. Bingwall, a 10
year-old boy, into tree. knocked
over George Campra and a horse
he was hitching, uprOOted fruit
trees, demolished several private
garages and caused considerable
minor damage.
1t was said by local residents
to have been the first wind OF
its kind since 1868.
Glass skylights from an es-
tablishment belonging to walnut
growers were blown into the
street and smashed, and lumber
from lumber yards was scatter
ed several hundred yards.
One private garage was re-
ported to have been carried for
ty feet and an automobile moved
from the side Of the street to
the center Of the roadway.

Washington.-The first electrically
propelled cargo vessel to fly the
American flag will be placed in serv-
ice at this port within the next few
weeks by the United States Shipping
Board. The vessel will fly the house
flag Of the International Mercantile
Marine company and will be used by
that concern in transatlantic trade.
The Eclipse. as the ship has been
christened, will mark the Introduction
Of electricity as motive power for
merchant ships. the use Of this power
In the past having been confined to
naval vessels.
The shipping board Is already so
confident of the success OF the Eclipse
that construction Of several other
freighters similarly powered has been
started. The Eclipse is Of 1900
lightweight tons, 40 feet long and
Sc feet beam. Her electrical propul-
sion machinery was built by the Cen
cral Electric company at Schenectady.
and installed by the Vulcan Iron
Works Of Jersey City.
Driving q ship by electricity means
revolving the propeller shaft from q
motor. To supply the power to turn
this motor generator must be oper-
ated somewhere else in the vessel, just
as generators in power houses make
current for street railways. On board
ship these generators may be driven
by an economical steam turbine or BY
Diesel engine. 81

Hughes of Cape May Point
caught a nine-pound weakfish In
Delaware Bay. When he cleaned
the fish Hughes found In it
Spanish coin dated 1909. 1t Is
supposed that this came from
