Working Principle of Explosive Engine Old

The basic idea of the explosive en-.
CINE was conceived long before the
appearance of steam. In 1850 Huygens
described an explosion motor which
was to be operated by discharging a
quantity of powder to drive the air
out of cylinder and raise the pis-
ton. To that point, his engine relied
on force somewhat similar to the
working principle of those today. but
the useful work was to be done by
the piston being forced down by the
pressure of the atmosphere against it,
thus lifting a weight or doing some
other task. There is no record that
this engine ever was operated. The
steam engine Of 1705 functiOned on

The doorway amazed them. 1t was
cut in a solid stone wall-masonry of
the same sort as that of the Gray
house.
"Dad!" Junior whispered excitedly
'This is our house-rm certain!"
The three intruders passed through
the entrance. 1t seemed odd that it
had no door. The light which enabled
them to dispense with the 1ashllght

bulb in the masonry ceiling of a large
chamber. The insufficient illumina-
ton showed the room to be almost ten
feet in height, and filed with piles Of

A Naval Accord in Sight.

Today's definite announcement that
Mr.. Macdonald is sailing for the United
States on September % is the most con-
cretely gratifying piece of news that
has welled up from the whole Summers
sea of Anglo-American naval develop
ments. It means that the British prime
minister Is due in Washington on OF
about october 4, for his conference
with President Hoover. It can only
denote, as both Washington and Lon
don officials concede, that an accord
on limitation of naval armament is
imminent, and all but accomplished
The American and British peoples learn
OF this prospect on Friday, which is a
18th. The circumstance is enc de-
signed to divest this combination OF
day and date of its ancient omen OF
evil. Friday, September IS, 1929. is
destined to rank as fortuitous mile
stone In British-American relations.
There are rivers still to be crossed,
wide, deep streams of divergence on
cardinal naval issues. But rivers as
seemingly impossible and quite as ttir-
gid were taking their course as recently
as last June, when Ambassador Dawes,

year of safety work for the schools with
every indication Of growing success.
The schoolboy patrol will be larger,
and special lesson sheets, teaching
some Of the fundamental rules for safe
ly crossing the streets, are to be dis
tributed in the grades. The formation
of Safety Clubs" among the children
is being encouraged and emphasis is
being placed on q necessity Of careful
ress.
OF course this educational work among
the children themselves will have bene-
ficial results. But the burden Of re-
sponsibility still rests with the auto
mobile drivers. A school building is a
danger signal that must be observed.
Motorists driving in the morning rush
hour, noontime and during the after
noon school closing period must be on
the alert, lest careless children, intent
ON getting to school In time or on their
way home for play, will forget them
selves and dart into the street from
between parked automobiles.
It is fearful to know that the open
ing of the school term carries with 1t
an inevitable death sentence for some
young child. But it does. The motor
list who remembers that he may be
the unwilling executioner will drive
slowly.

together possible that the United States
will be obliged to build ships in other

rather than to shrink
The prediction is made by the Chi
cago Daily Tribune that when Mr.
MacDonald's terms for limitation of the
British sea power tranSpire, they will
not give evidence that his government
has failed to remember what the Brit
iSh navy has been and is worth to the
British people"
The Jersey City Journal pays this
tribute to the British administration:
IF anywhere there had been a no
ton thai. the Labor party would finch
in the face OF great responsibilities,
the courageous address of the premier
must have dispelled such an idea"
The significance of the utterance
is emphasized by the Portland, Ore
gon, Journal with the statement: 'That
news heralds an excellent possibility
OF a lowered cost of government, of less
military competition among the pow
erS, of less danger of war, and of the
coming of the day when disputes shall
be settled sensibly by negotiation and
Cancellation instead of by warfare, and
by right instead of might-that might
which never permanently settles them"
Possibly he was a little overconfi-
dent in his references to reduction OF
ornaments" suggests the Chicago
Daily News. But his conversations
with Ambassador Dawes on that COM
pick subject unqueStionably warranted
certain degree of optimism Feeling
encouraged, he desired to hearten
other workers in the cause of peace
and international good will" The Spo-
kane Spokesman-Review holds that his
declaration "has the ring of sincerity"
and concludes: 1.-THE world peace char
lot has started. Interest now turns to
France and Italy. Will they climb
aboard?"

@. How far can person see under
water?-W. H. G..
A. The vision of an ordinary SWIM
mer under water does not extend any
great distance. 1t depends on the OBJ
1ect one is looking for and the clear
ness OF the water. Condr. Edward
Ellsberg in his book, "On the Bottom"
makes the following statement: Every
thing that the diver sees is magnif1ed
by the water, but he rarely sees much.
In Northern seas, the water is nearly
opaque, and objects ten feet away are
often invisible. 1t resembles looking
through ground glass window; light
comes through, but nothing is seen.
Conditions are often even worse than
this; II the bottom is muddy, fine silt
| rises up in the water in clouds and OBJ
jects even foot away are invisible.
Under such conditions powerful lights
cannot pierce the water.
@. What are the names of the au-
tonomous Soviet republics?-G. S. v.
A. The eleven autonomous Soviet

KAYAK, KirghiZ, Tatar and Yakut.
O. At what time of the year and day
does one derive the most benefit from
the ultra violet rays of the sumo. C.
A. The Public Health Service says
that one would expect to derive the
greatest benefit from the suns ultra
violet rays in any part of the United
States during the months of June,
July, August and September, and dur
ing the hours from 10 am. to 2 pm.
The intensity of the ultraviolet rays
is about eight times as great in August
as in January. 1t increases rapidly from
sunrise until noon, when it again de-
creases rapidly until sunset. The in
tensity is almost twice as great at noon
as it is at o'clock in the afternoon.
Q. What became of the Bremen?-
