bines which develop $4,000 horse
power. These turbines are marvel
Gus savers of fuel and space. Each
turbine is connected to an electric
generator. Each generator produces
10000 horse power of electrical
energy.
HINGE cables carry this current to
the control board from which the en-
oineer operates the ship. From this
point this power is sent to four giant
motors of 1000 horse power each
one of which is attached to each pro-
peller shaft.
LET electricity do it, is the motto
on the New Mexico. Electricity re-
wolves the gun turrets, moves, loads
and fires the guns; raises the anchor
moves the rudder and pushes the
shin: lowers the boats, pumps the
water, runs the machine and the
blacksmith shops, heats and lights the
boat; operates the interior communl-
eating, fire protection, refrigeratlng'
ventilating and telephone systems and
wireless instruments; peels potatoes,
washes dishes, mixes the bread dough,
washes and irons the clothes IN the
laundry, sterilizes the instruments IN
the hospital and does numerous other
unlooked-for stunts.
In every sense of the word, the
New Mexico is an electric ship.

The Thousand Islands
The River st. Lawrence GAS grand
as the Rhine" was discovered by
French explorer in 1885. In 1915,
Champlain explored the upper reaches
of this majestic stream and discover
ed these islands.
The origin of the name is evident
to the beholder. Below Lake Ontario
for a distance of some forty miles the
river broadens to a width ranging
from four to seven miles. Here be-
gins this world-famous archipelago.
These islands in a string
like links in a chain-again in just
pell-mell confusion, appear to block
the channel. Apparently there are
thousand of them. Some authorities
asesrt there are as many as LOO.
Composed mainly of rock or gran
lite, their surfaces are not high. Some
are no larger than to provide a foun-
datiOn for house largest con-
tains about 10000 acres. Many are
privately owned and here man and
his money have created castles which
look as wondrous as fairy tales sound.
The Thousand Islands were the
scene of some hot conflicts between
mathematician wars (when this re-
gion was known as Manatoana-Gar-
/ den of the Great Spirit), contests be-
tween the French and the English and
battles of revolutionary fame.
To this generation, however, they
are more prominently known for their
singularly-picturesq beauty and I'M
questioned charm.

Poe's rifle missed FIRE when he shot

back and recovered his tolnahawk, he
advanced to the attack again and sue
