Naval Range Finder

An accurate method of computing
the distance between ships when the
height Of the enemy ship is not known
is by the use of the optical range
finder. This instrument is installed in
the turrets of battleships. 1t consists
of a long tube with optical prisms.
The length of the tube is taken as the
base of triangle. The distance is
then figured out mathematicalIy. The
degree of accuracy depends upon the
visibility conditions and the distance
can usually be ascertained within a
few hundred yards of the exact dis
lance.

Progress in Lighting

A common iaborer of today works
about ten minutes each day to pay for
the lighting of his home by means of
electricity. half-century ago he
would have had to work two and one
half hours to provide the same
amount of light by means of gas
flames. And If he had supplied him
self a half-century ago with the same
amount of light from candles he would
have had to work "a hours every day
to pay his lighting bill. For this great
reduction in the cost of artificial light
