Eclipse, Soon to Go Into Service,
First American Ship Driven
by Such Power.
COST OF OPERATION IS CUT
Reduced Consumption Of OH and
Number Of Crew Slashes Expense
In Half-Admiral Benson Strong
for Electric Drive.

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
66 feet beam. Her electrical propul-
sion machinery was built by the Gen.
eral Electric company at Schenectady,
and installed by the Vulcan Iron
Works of Jersey City.
Driving a ship by electricity means
revolving the propeller shaft from q
motor. To supply the power to turn
this motor a 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
a Diesel engine.
Cost Of Operation Cut In Hall.
The records Of the electrically driv-
en- New Mexico Of the United States
navy, show that Oil consumption is
lowered about One-third by the use Of
electricity as motive power and the
cost of operation Is cut In half, prin-
cipally as result of the reduced num-
Der Of men necessary In engine room
crews.
1t is not only possible for an officer
to operate an electric ship" with
small levers from the bridge, but, If
need be, virtually the entire engine
room mechanism can be handled by
one man. Among the many advan-
tages attached to electricity as sea-
power are the added hull space for
cargo and the greatly reduced fuel
The first application Of the electric
drive principle was made ON a vessel |
resembling closely the merchant ship, |
although the first really successful
craft to use this power was the naval
collier Jupiter, launched In 1912. II

They are opposed to the kill ing of mosquitoes. rats. flies and vermin. believing that they are a part of life. They know nothing about the carriers of disease. The importance of protect ing their food supplies from winged insectss has not been impressed upon them. Little or no attempt is made to drain mosquito pools or marshes, so that the Balkan states claim the dis tinction of having some of the worst malarial sections on earth.
 The peasant has little faith in medi- cal science. How can bug give us typhus?" they ask Every living thing harbors insects. Why not man? If the good God sends us disease and msfor- tune We believe that He knows best"
 In most districts in the Balkans the houses of the rural population aye small and poorly constructed Many of them are built'of mud and straw and have no provision for sanitation or ventilation. The only air admitted to the homes is obtained through acci- dental imperfections in construction. A few of the houses have two stories. the lower floor being occupied by the horses and cattle. the upper by the family. In such houses as these fam- lilies live crowded together under the most unhygienic conditions.
