Two Fires Caused
By Short Circuits

Chief Marden and both pieces of
apparatus from fire headquarters
were called to fires last night caused
by short circuits of electric wires
owing to the very heavy rain Tues
day. The first call was to the village
barn at 6.10 p. m. when slight dam
age was discovered by from fire
started by short circuit. While
the firemen were there they received
a call to the store Of Laferriere and
Dutile where small damage was done.
The firemen suffered several electric
shocks while fighting the fire as the
electric current had spread over all
the metal about the store.

ELECTRICITY WINS ON WARSHIPS
Has Proven Val,

Is Parsons and the other Curtis),
and have geared cruising turbines;
the Idaho can use her cruising tur-
bines at all speeds up to about sew
enteen knots and the Mississippi
can make about fifteen knots with
her cruising turbines. Experience
gained by a comparison of Destroy
ers fitted with geared main tur-
bines and these fitted with direct
connected main turbines. and
geared cruising turbines indicates
that the economy of the Idaho and
Mississippi at cruising speeds Is
about as good as il would be II they
had gcared main turbines. A COM
parison of the New Mexico with
these ships is therefore particularly
interesting at the lower speed.
The advocates of elCtric pro-
pulsion have always claimed that
1t was superior to all other forms
of propulsion at cruising speeds.
but even the most enthusiastic OF
these have been surprised by tho
remarkable showing made. This is
doubtless due to, the fact that no
one made sufficient allowance for
the saving due to shutting down
one turbine generator sets and all
the auxiliaries that go with one
of the condensing plants. At
speed of ten knots her sister ships
use about 20 per cent more than the
New Mexico; at 13 knots the figures
are 29.s per cent or 42.7 per cent; at
16 knots the figures are 1928 per
cent or AIS per cent; at l9 knots
4
per cent; at full power the figures
are 24.4 per cent or 32.2 per cent.
At 10 knots and also at full power
the New Mexico uses about .975
pounds of oil per shaft horsepower
per hour, and at is knots she only
uses IL pounds of oil per SHAFT
horsepower per hour. This is re-
markable uniform economy.
RELIABILITY OF MACHINERY.
In regard to the reliability OF
the machinery. the New Mexico has
had nothing but the most minor
troubles with her electric plant and
there have been no navy yard re-
pairs whatever; there has been one
serious accident to the steam part
of the machinery which required
work to be done by a navy yard,
but that was due entirely to a me-
chanical defect. Due to improper
construction of the main governor,
one of the weights became de-
tached while the turbine-generator
was running without load: the tur-
bine ran away and operated the
emergency governor, which tripped
the throttle. but the latter did not
entirely close, and the turbine ran
at over-speed sufficiently to stretch
the turbine wheels and the entire
motor had to be replaced. The gov
ernor has been changed and addi-
tional overspeed protection given
by arranging for the emergency
governor to close the admission
valves as we'll as the main throttle.
The machinery has been in opera
tion nearly year since repairs
were completed and no further
trouble has developed.
In conclusion, II may be said that
the performance of the New Mexico
since commissioning has been en-
tirely satisfactory in every way,
and that the expectations OF those
who were responsible for Its install
lation have been more than real
ized.

- CHENECTADY, N. Y, DULY "a
When the United States bat
~ tleship New Mexico was placed
in commission two years ago, chris
tened the first electrically propelled
warrior in the world. proponents or
the steam engine predicted the time
was not at hand for such change
in turning the wheels of the great
ocean navigators. They predlcted
all sorts of failures, but a report on
the first two years active service or
the ship. just made public by Comdr.
s. NJ. Robinson, fleet engineer OF
the Pacific fleet. of which the New
Mexico is flagship, seems to have
permanently wiped out such pessi-
mistic opinions.
The New Mexico has made good.
During these two years she has
seen service of practically every
kind that is encountered by bat
tleship, except actual engagement in
battle. The report shows the re-
suits have been highly satisfactory
and fully justify the Judgment of
those responsible for the installa-
ton of electric machinery in this
vessel.
PREDICTIONS FULFILLED.
w. L. r. Emmet, consulting en-
gineer Of the General Electric Com
pany and pioneer in electric ship
propulsion, has devoted years to the
problem. AS long ago as 1909 he
pointed out that electric ship pro-
pulsion was feasible, economical.
and practical. Commander Robin
sons report substantiates his pre-
dictions. Furthermore, 1t reveals
the amazing economical advantage
~ the electric drive as compared
with sister ships equipped with d.
rect connected turbines.
That electric drive is considered
by the United States Government
as the best means of propulsion to-
day IL best evidenced from the fact
that all new battleships of the last
two or three years are being so
equipped. The General Electric
Company is now engaged in build
ing the electric machinery Tor IN
stallation in the battleships Mary
land, West Virginia and Califor-
MIA.
REPORT ON NEW MEXICO.
Commander Robinsons report on
the New Mexico follows:
The New Mexico has been operat-
ing for nearly a year in company
with two sister ships, the Idaho and
Mississippi, which have hulls iden-
tical with that OF the New Mexico.
During this time 1t has been pos
sible to get an accurate compari-
son OF the relative economy of the
three ships and also the relative
maneuverlng qualities. In the lat
ter respect, the New Mexico Is de-
cidedly superior, and the remarka-
BILE part OF 1t is that nearly all Of
the maneuvering in restricted
waters has been done with the
tubo-generator.
When this installation was first
proposed, its opponents maintained
that. while ship like the Jupiter
could be satisfactorily operated
with the screws on both sides OF
the ship running at exactly the
same speed, II would not be possi-
BILE to get satisfactory operation
with that arrangement on a ship
which had to operate in formation.
But exactly the reverse has proved
to be true; Il has been found that
more satisfactory operation is OBJ
