f1E ELEC MI SF1iF
THE NEW MENICO was the first
4 battleship constructed in the
united States, to be propelled by
electricity.
$4,000 tons and from the water-line
to the top of the mast is as high as
a ten-story building.
To drive 1t p knots an hour re-
quires $4,000 horse power. Her Oil
burning engines are fed from tanks
gallons of Oil. It's nine boilers pro-
duce 10000 horse power of steam
energy. This steam turns two tur-
bines which develop $4,000 horse
power. These turbines are marvellous
savers of fuel and space. Each tur-
bine is connected to an electric gen
orator. Each generator produces
10000 horse power of electrical
energy.
Huge cables carry this current to
n the control board from which the en-
gineer 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 t%urrets, moves, loads
and fires the guns; raises the anchor,
moves the rudder and pushes the ship /;
lowers the boats, pumps the water,
runs the machine and blacksmith
shops, heats and lights the boat; OPP
crates the interior communicating, fire
protection, refrigerating, ventilating
and telephone systems and wireless in
struments; peels potatoes, washes
dishes, mixes the bread dough, washes
and irons the clothes In the laundry,
sterilizes the instruments in the hos
pital and does numerous other I'M
lo~oked-for stunts.
In every sense of the word, the New
Mexico is an electric ship.

The Story of a London School Boy Who Stumbled
Upon the Secret of Making Dyes
from Coal Tar
(Told In Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN
No. ii
POETS OF

William Henry Perkin was an ode
sort OF a youngster. When he was l.
years old and a student in the City o
London School he heard of a series Of
lectures on chemistry during the noon
recess. Young William Henry de.
cided that the lectures would be OF
more value to him than his lunches, SC
he took in the lectures.
Apparently the lectures made a de-
sided impression upon the boy. Two
years later he entered the laboratory
of a chemist named Holman in the
Royal College of London and by the
time he was II, had started upon his
career as a researcher. Perkin decided
that his mission in life was to isolate
p%henenthrene from coal tar and pre-
pare artificial quinine. In order to
speed the day when his task would be
done he set up a private laboratory and
worked overtime. While at work in
this laboratory in the spring OF 1856.
he found in his test tube, while oxi-
dizing some aniline oil, a black, sticky
mass instead of clear crystals. He at
tempted to wash il out with alcohol
when, to his surprise. he produced a
wonderful purple solution-mauve, the
first of the aniline dyes.
Ten years later Perkin achieved his
greatest triumph when he produced
~alizarin, or Turkey red, formerly
made only from the root OF the mad
der. Years later the British govern
ment knighted the man who first dis
covered the vast possibilities contained
with coal tar but gave him little imam
cial support or encouragement. 1t
was left to German researchers to
build up the industry and finally to
obtain a strange hold upon the trade

Poetry, indeedl But chemists are
practical poets. They produce the
materials a nation must have if it
hopes to live and compete with other
nations. Few nations realized this
truth, however, until the World War
offered convincing proof by opening
100 percent explosive and closing S.
percent chemical. That opened their
eyes, but unfortunately, Germany had
a fifty year start and took the trouble
to protect the advantage.
On January l, 1916, seven leading
dye companies of Germany formed a
dye trust to last fifty years with the
idea OF controlling the chemical bust
ness OF the world. During this period
they will maintain uniform prices,
wages and hours of labor, and ex-
change patents and trade secrets.
They will divide the foreign business
on an even basis and share the profits.
