have been torpedo trials. however, in which, by the combustion of rocket mixture and the direct application of the expanded gases in reaction, a fifty-mile rate of speed bas "been obtained. To obtain resistance force must be applied quickly, for the resistance increases in marked ratio when compared with the pressure or speed of any object moving therein.
Water, though yielding-if time enough be given-is not compressible, and when suddenly and powerfully pressed against resists like a wall of granite, Air, or more properly carbonic acid gas, is a permanent gas. It is elastic, and may be increased or diminished in volume by adding or withdrawing heat. Bul this, unlike steam, only within narrow limits, na no change of physical state. with enormous diminution in volume can occur.
The question arises at this point as to what effect is produced by the instantaneous applica tion of this elastic, expansive gas at considerable pressure over surfaces of large area to this non compressible, change resisting substance, water. The completeness and brevity of its application takes full advantage of the temporary Immobility of water, and also în proportion to its brevity reduces the premature cooling effect. The laws of thermodynamics demand a cool substance for the reception of the nextexhaust, but the cooling should be coincident with the conversion of heat into power. To precede it would cause a palp- pable loss. The question is, Does the cooling precede the application of the force, or is it simultaneous, and so in accordance with the laws of physics?
Toask the questionin this form, having in view the altendant circumstances, virtually answers R2; nevertheless, a slight loss undoubtedly exists, but practice and theory unite to show that it is but slight.
The propulsion by explosion is direct astern, while the propulsión of a screw propeller is obliquely disadvantage from every point of view. Power is exerted in two directions on the screw to produce effect. One acts direct astern, the other sidewise. The ratio of power wasted increases with the pitch of the screw. Now, it is known that the screw propeller produces a vacuity astern which it has been ascertained Augments a vessel's resistance. The absence of a screw eliminates this retardation, and here is another point which will assist the system of propulsion by explosion. This vacuity which the forward molion of the vessel causes is filled by the gases of the discharges.
In the direct method of propulsion air is the working fluid, or the medium which receives heat and gives out kinetic energy. The vessel is
forced forward in the water by the reaction or unbalanced pressure at the stern of the vessel of air suddenly expanded or exploded. The propulsion is pneumatic and not bydraulic, as no water is discharged. The action is somewhat similar to that of a skyrocket in air or to a submarine torpedo propelled by the expansion of rockel mixture. The object in this system has been to obtain propulsion directly from fuel, without the intervention of moving machinery, and by a single, simple, direct process.
The apparatus consists chiefly of a series of heavy steel cylinders placed longitudinally in the vessel, the ends of which may be opened by suitable gate valves, so as to be in direct communication with the external water. These cylinders contain no internal machinery, but are simply receptacles for itmospheric air and the fuel, which may be gaseous or liquid. The fuel, intimately mixed with the air and ignited by the electric spark, produces an instan- taneous increase of pressure on the water astern of the vessel. Continuity of effort is obtained by having the discharge occur according to a prede termined rotation, so that, while one cylinder is recuperating, others are being discharged
Reversal is effected by opening and closing gate valves at cilber end of the cylinder. There are in addition to these cylinders suitable apparatus for admitting and mixing the air and fuel. By adding a small, continuous process producer water gas may be used instead of the liquid fuel. This is in brief a general outline of the method whereby propulsion is effected in the direct pneumatic system.
In the old trial of the vessel's mechanism « single cylinder was used, and electricity was generated by a dynamo worked by a steam engine. The vessel will now be worked by two cylinders and the electricity furnished by a stored battery.
The first thought is naturally that of a report connected with each explosion; the explosion occurring under water practically silences any report. It will be remembered that the ex- plosion of the mines at Hell Gate produced little else than a rumble. Whether the detection of a vessel's approach could not be made known by establishing a means of conducting the sound from the water to an observer on the deck of a vesse is another matter. "This, of course, would in a measure destroy the utility of the new system when applied to-torpedo borts.
The machinery is so compact and at the same time so protected by being far below the water's surface that the eye of a naval officer is at once attracted to these advantages. There is ap parently no opportunity to injure the mechanisin unless it be to destroy one of the air piperleading from the upper deck to the cylinder. Thi might be effected by a shell dropping on the between deck and fracturing the pipe. Yet this would be no injury unless the compartments in which the cylinders are situated should be full of water, in which case the air supply would be shut off.
Ficach and American scientists have declared it impossible to propel a vessel by direct pneumatic propulsion, yet the vessel hai moved and the chances of accelerated speed appear to increase with each, trial. The ptinciples have succeeded. It remains to be seen what speed and power will be developed.—New York Times.

A French biologist in secking, a bacillus that will kill that of consumption, or a disease that can be inocculated without risk to the patient, and will give protection against comumption. Hei confident of ultimate success, although his experiments with typhoid have seemed to hasten the progress of the disease, he wished to check. A London physician is of opinion that a turpentime bath is good for rheumatism, gout, intomnis, laryngitis and bronchitis, and recom mends the following method of preparing it: Make a saturated solution of six ounces of yellow soap and add to it three or four ounces of oil of turpentine. Shake well, and then put it into the bath, which should be gled with warm water. After fifteen minutes' immersion the patient should be put to bed.
Two French gentlemen are constructing terrestrial globe for the exposition of 1889, on the scale of one-millionth. It will be thirteen meters in diameter and forty meters in circum- ference, and a kilometer will be represented on it by a millimeter. Paris will occupy a space. about a square centimeter. It is believed that the contemplation of this object, whose size is a measurable fraction of that of the earth, will help, better than any other existing apparatus, to convey a realization of terrestrial magnitude and distances.
Amovement has been started in Norway for the dispatch in the summer of 1890 of an expeditition to the North Pole, and it is proposed that the leadership shall be offered to Dr. Nansen. Those who are arranging the plans maintain that no other country could furnish sucha crew of experienced and hardy icemen and Arctic travelers as Norway, and that a winter or twa in the Arctic regions would affect these men very little. The intention is that an attempt shall be made to reach the Pale by way of Franz Josefs Land, route advocated by the most experienced Norwegian Arctic travelers as well
by many who have studied the problem. The managers of the Pennsylvania Railroad have resolved to rebuild all its bridget of short- apan in brick or stone instead of iron. It is argued that the weight of locomotives has in- created so much of late years that iron bridges, which were built with a large margin of safety, are now dangerously tried by the trains passing over them and the expense of inspection and repair of iron bridges represents a large interest on their cost. For these reasons the engineer's on the road have decided that brick or store
arches, although much more expensive in the first instance than iron trusses, will be cheaper. as well as safer in the end.
Says the New York Medical Journal! In an experimental observation of thirty-eight boys of all classes of society and of average healib, who had been using tobacco for periods ranging from two months to two years, twenty-seven showed severe injury to the constitution and insufficient growth; thirty-two showed, the existence of irregularity of the hear's action, disordered stomachs, coughs and a craving for alcohol; thirteen had intermittency of the pulse and one had consumption. After they had abandoned the use of tobacco, within six months one-half were free from all their former symptoms, and the remainder had recovered by the end of the year.
