Nothing New in Idea
of Power From Ocean

SO far as the dispatches Indicate,
a power machine that has been set
up by Prof Georges Claude at Ma
tanZas, Cuba, with its gigantic pipe
for bringing up cold water from the
bottom of the sea, does not involve
any principles unknown to science. 1t
was shown long ago that water, if
confined in q vacuum, will give off
steam at temperatures far below its
ordinary boiling point, and also that
cold water will cOndense the steam
and restore the vacuum. SO that
when Professor Claude takes advan-
tage of this and uses warm water
from the surface to produce the
steam and cold water from the bot
tom to condense it again, he is nOt
exactly an innovatOr. The main
question, then, is whether his inven-
tion is commercially important, and
on this one would like to have more
expert opinion, formed after thor
Ough observation on the spot. Ac-
SOlulhS " IuC blcpdlNllCc, lllC dppd-
ratuS generated enough power to light
40 500-watt bulbs, but whether this
power was in excess of the power
needed to pump cold water up from
the bottom is not stated, and it is
very vital point.
To the layman the whole device
looks like a second cousin to a per-
petual motion machine, and there
fore not very promising; but this OBJ
lection was raised to the locomotive,
the steamboat and the airplane when
they were in the experimental stage.
That any of these could possibly
carry enough fuel to prOpel itself
was held to be prima facie absurd
ity; yet they did propel themselves,
and at a pretty lively clip. The very
least that can be said for Professor
Claude is that he has tackled a prof.
ect that men haze often speculated
about, and brought it to a point
where it's possibilities can be def
nitely determined. 1t may prove to
be as impractical as schemes to uti-
liZe the latent power of the tides.
But it may eventually be lighting
our cities.

tions IN the new crop He believes the

- Autumn,
If the biblical description did
not date it so clearly in the Spring, just
after the festival of the Passover and
when the corn was ripe enough to eat,
astronomers could be certain Of the
year and almost the hour. Investiga-
tons of the German astronomer, Z.
Dittrich, reported in Nature, London,
show that there was total eclipse of
the sun November "a % A. D. The
track of totality ran just north of Pal
estine. The eclipse must have reached
its maximum in Jerusalem just before
noon. This would explain perfectly,
Dittrich holds, the reported darkening
of the sky at the time, which was con-
sidered by the biblical writer's a super
natural event.
This was the only solar eclipse in
that part of the world at anywhere
near the approximate time of the cruel
fixion. There is a possibility, Dittrich
holds, that the two events happening
in the same year became confused in
the minds of the witnesses relating
their experiences years after. If this
Zes the case, he says, the crucifixion
can be assigned with reasonable assur-
ance either to the year 20 or 80 A. d.

of Jerusalem than would a similar event

ROME, July IA bagful of new
laws and procedure, including the pen

today in Law Courts throughout Italy,
as the new penal code came into Ell
feet.
For the first time since 1890, juries
will be able to return verdict OF
death. Hitherto all they could do was
to send the prisoner to jail for lie. !.
Greater license and extension OF

"Unwritten' Law Recognized.
From this day on, Italians will have
some recognition given to "unwrltten

an unfaithful wife and her lover, or
an unfaithful husband and his mis-
tress, or of an erring daughter or sister,
are to be punished with no more than
