according to officers prosecuting the
investigation toward the person or
persons on whom responsibility for
the tragedy may be fixed.
Practically all of the testimony
concerned radio operations and most
of it centered on signals sent by the
radio compass at Point Arguello to
the flagship of the Inflated destroy
er squadron.
According to the Testimony of ra-
do men from the flagship, there was
considerable delay in obtaining
these wireless direction signals by
which the squadron regulated it's
course and also considerable doubt
as to the accuracy Of some Of them
This doubt as to the accuracy of

most Illuminating fact brought out
being that navigator south of

NEWEST THING
IN LIFEB0ATS
is LAUNCHED
Will Hold One Hundred and
Fifty Passengers With
Convenience
NJ A NY NOV ELITE 5

Cowcs, England, Sept. ia
strange motor-boat painted red and
blue, bulky in the beam, with u
single mast and peculiar contrap-
tions on her deck, came out of Cowes
Harbor at dawn recently and made
her way through ~Spithead at II
knots. She was the william and
Kate Johnston, described as the
largest and most complete lifeboat
in the world.
The new craft is fitted with every
device mans ingenuity can conceive
foE fighting storm and saving life.
Her length is so feet, and she is Is
feet wide. She is driven by twin
propellerj in protective tunnels, and
her engines are two six-cylinder 80
horsepower motors.
The engines are encased in separ-
ate water-tight compartments. In
their rigorous tests they were run
with these compartments full Of wa
ter for three hours, and kept going
full speed all the time. Forward
and aft of the engines are cabins,
each capable of holding rs people.
One has a stove, and for the first
time the rescued will have shelter,
warmth and food Immediately they
get aboard. The lifc-bOat can hold
$50 persons in cabins and on deck.
The most notable "gadget" on deck
is life-saving net of stout rope
erected amidships into which people
on ships can jump for their lives
with a reasonable chance of success.
There are also on deck line
throwing gun with u range of 200
yards, powerful searchlight, apd a
screen to~protect the helmsman and
engineer at the motor controls.
In addition the boat has nearly
100 buoyant air cases. She cannot
capsize, and is practically unsink-
able. She will be stationed in the
Mersey, but to thoroughly test her
she will first be given tour of
2,700 miles round Great Britain.

SLAMS KING VISITS TEMPLES
He Spends Two Weeks Each Year
Worshlplng at the Buddhist
Shrlnes Of Bangkok.

Each year when the rainy season is
over, the king Of Siam spends about
two weeks making his customary
round of visits to the different Bud
dhist temples Of Bangkok. On these
occasions the king goes in a boat,
manned by 60 rowers on each
side, each clad In uniform of
red, and using long oar. The royal
seat Is near the stern, raised on four
pillars, and surmOunted by a highly
ornate, tower-like canopy. In front
and behind the royal seat stand at
PENDANTS holding up large umbrellas.
which look like golden cones.
On landing at an appointed place.
the king rides In sedan-chalr to the
temple, when all along the way the
people PROSTATE themselves on the
ground, keeping silent as mark of
supreme respect. For about half an
hour the king occupies himself with
the ceremony Of worship in the temple,
into which the public IS not admitted.
To the temples outside Bangkok the
king dispatches deputies, his personal
pilgrimage being confined to the tenn
pies of the city.

SCIENCE IN INDUSTRIAL ERA
utilitarianism, 1t Seems, Must Ultl-
mately Kill the Pure Desire for
knowledge.

Wireless Is of great practical i'm
pOrtance. 1t facilitates slaughter in
war, the dissemination of journalistic
falsehood In time of peace, and the
broadcasting of triyialities to relieve
the tedium of evening hours not de
voted to success. But the men who
made 1t possible-Faraday, Maxwell
and Hertz-were none of them the
least interested In furthering this re-
markable enrichment of human life !;
they were men solely interested In
trying to understand physical proc
esses, and it can hardly be said that
the existence of industrialism helped
them even indirectly. The modern
study OF the structure of the atom
may have a profound effect upon In
dustrial processes, but those who are
engaged upon 1t are very little inter-
ested In this possible future effect Of
their work. 1t seems likely that the
utilitarianism of commercial indus
try must ultimately kill the pure de-
sire for knowledge just as 1t kills
the very analogous artistic impulse. In
America, where the more utilita-
rian aspects of science are keenly ap-
preciated, no great advance In pure
theory has been made. None of the
fundamental discoveries upon which
practical applications depend have
been made In America. 1t seems prob
able that, as the point OF view appro-
pirate to commercial industry spreads,
utilitarianism will make such funda-
mental discoveries more and more
rare, until at last those who love
knowledge for It's own sake come to
be classified In youth as "morons" and
kept in institutions for harmless
iunatics.-Thr Dial.

Mr.. AND MRS. HORNADY
TO LIVE In ATLANTA

Birmingham stands to lose two
of its finest citizens before very
long in the removal to Atlanta of
Mr.. and Mrs. John R. Hornady.
Mr.. Hornady, who was formerly
one of Birmingham commission
ers, has been engaged for some
time in the writing of a number of
histories for southern cities, among
them those Of Birmingham, New
Orleans and Atlanta.
The history of the latter city has
just come from the press, and is a
beautiful volume, bearing a chro-
nology which Mrs. Hornady as
sisted her husband in compiling.
| have seen the book and was
much interested in reading that
Atlanta was first called "Marthas-
ville," being named for a daughter
of former governor of Georgia
as we'll as that Atlanta was actually
launched under the commission
form of government, which most of
us consider so new governmental
idea!
Mrs. Hornady, who has been
spending some months in Atlanta,
and actually dividing her time be-
tween that town and the Magic
City, was much entertained while
away, and during the past holidays,
by Atlantans. Ernestine, her little
daughter, is still in school in Bir-
mingham, and will remain here
until the end of the term. Jack
Hornady is in Dallas with the
United Press, while Cecil is also in
Birmingham.
In Atlanta, the Drama league is
much interested in Mrs. Hornady,
and has shown her numerous
courtesies. She is an officer of the
national association. One of the
leading Atlanta journals | picked
up short time ago carried pic
ture of Mrs. Hornady and an in
teresting interview with her con-
corning the efforts that are being
made to have better drama in
America.
In common with Birmingham,
Atlanta prepared an extremely live,
educational program for National
Drama Week when famous actors
and actresses throughout the coun-
