Water Is Rival
of Electricity
Wave Power Transmission Hailed
as Newly Come Conqueror
on Industrial Horizon.
IS INVENTION OF AN ITALIAN
New Method Is Coming Into Practical
Use— Piles Driven and Granite
Drilled — Not Same as
Hydraulic Power.
New
York.— Unheralded
except
among a narrow circle o f engineers
and technicians In England and Italy,
a new method o f harnessing water, in
vented only a few years ago, is corn
ing into practical use. W e make the
waves o f the air work for us in a
thousand ways, and through ages have
striven to chain tire tides to mach;n-
ery, but wave power transmission Is
hailed as a newly come conqueror on
the Industrial horizon.
It is, says
Marian Storm In the New York Post,
by no means tire same as hydraulic
transmission o f power in the sense
now popularly used, and it proposes,
in certain fields, to rival electric trans
mission.
Cupt. L. G. Culleton, It. E „ who is
at present in New York, and who is a
friend o f the Italian Inventor of the
system, George Constantfnesco, talked
with enthusiasm o f the stfhvlce winch
he believes wave power transmission
Is destined to render when the theory
Is more commonly known, declaring it
comprehensible to almost every one In
days when little boys build their own
airplanes and automobiles, although, j
o f course, n description of the method
cannot be given without some technical
terminology.
The Principle.
“ The transmission o f power through
a pipe full o f water Is the simplest
thing imaginable— If anything, simpler
than the transmission o f electric cur
rent over n wire,” he said. “ You won
der why It has never been practically
applied before, since theorists have dis
cussed It so much.
"The principle o f the system differs
fundamentally from the usuul concep
tion of the hydraulic transmission of
power, where liquid is made to flow
through the system. For in wave pow
er transmission ttie liquid does not
flow, but power is funded on from
particle to particle o f the liquid, these
vibrating about u mean position and
transferring the impulse received from
one to unother, until at Inst the power
received at one end o f the system has
been delivered at the other end.”
So far it seemed quite understand
able. “ These Impulses in the form of
waves," he went on, “ travel through
wnter at the rate of about 4,707 feet
a second. The mnchines nre built to
work at forty impulses or cycles a sec
ond— 2,400 per minute."
"W hat nre some of those machines
— what ean they do?”
“ Well, wave power generators and
transmission piping are on the mar
ket noW in England, and tools of a
good ninny kinds are obtainable— rock
drills, riveters, coal cutting drills, disc
and chain type coal-cutting machines,
Impact screens, concentrating tables,
even plledrivers.”
"W ave power transmission doesn’t
seem so very different from alternat
ing current electrical transmission,”
some one reflected.
Wave Transmission.
"There is a similarity, and It's not
coincidence,” Cnpt. Culleton answered.
“ Many of the lnws that govern wave
and electrical transmission are Inter
changeable.
You’ll be Interested to
know that In wave transmission there
nre the equivalents of what we call In
electrical practice volts, amperes, fre<
quency, nngle o f phase. Induction, ca-
paclty, resistance, condensers, trans
formers, single-phase and poly-phase
systems— ”
He was Interrupted by the question
whether anybody could conscript his
prlvnte pond for service by aid of wave
power machines.
“ Oh, naturally, world-wide patents
cover the storage o f energy In liquids.
Experimental work has been carried
on in England since 1014, and early In
the war the British government took

making the acquaintance of a man
now unknown to you who will put you

the unmarried man It signifies that
he Is beloved by a woman of whom he
has, as yet, scarcely thought, and that
she will make an excellent wife. But
to dream that you have tasted no li

a bad sign. You will soon commit
some foolish action.
If you dream that you got drunk on
water you are going to boast o f your
rich relations, and of wealth which
you do not possess. Also, to see an
other man drunk means that you will
do something foolish.
It Is but fair to the oracle and sooth

THE JOB ABOVE YOU
Strangers Seek
Buried Treasure
Hidden a Century Ago by Coun
terfeiters on Shore of Lake
in Maine.
OLD EPISODE IS RECALLED
Gang Worked In Secret fo r Many
Years, but Refrained From Pass
ing Any of Their Product In
the Neighborhood.
Bangor, Me.— The fact that a for
tune lies buried in the dense forest
somewhere nlong the shores o f Money
maker lake, between Robblnston and
Red Beach, well-nigh forgotten by the
few residents o f that section who ever
knew it, has again been brought to
mind.
A Robbinston fanner lad, having
strayed some distance from home in
search o f trout brooks, which might
furnish better sport than those nearer
tlie settlements, came upon two men
digging under some giant spruce trees
near the shores o f Moneymaker lake.
The men did not observe him at
first and he watched them while they
tolled In two or three spots. Later,
when be accosted them, they told him
they were digging for worms fo r bait.
As they had no fishing tackle with
them, and as Moneymaker lake has
no fish worth catching, the boy thought
this explanation somewhat remarkable.
When he reached home he told of
his adventure, and at first none could
account for the presence o f straug-
ers or for their actions until one of
the older residents of the town de
clared his belief that the two unknown
men were seeking the burled treasure
which has lain in secret for almost a
century and has defied the efforts of
treasure seekers for years.
Long ago many men labored dili
gently along the shores o f the lake,
but the search was abandoned, and
until this week no one had been known
to have hunted fo r the treasure for a
quarter o f a century.
Moneymaker lake Is surrounded by
a heavy forest growth and is In a
somewhat Inaccessible place In north
ern Washington county. It derived its
name from a gang o f counterfeiters
who, early In the nineteenth century,
dwelt In a cabin on the shore o f the
lake and pursued their unlawful em
ployment o f making money, chiefly
imitations o f silver coin.
Later their names were known to
be Bail, Smith and Blaisdell. Here
they lived for many years In secrecy
until one day, almost a century ago,
a Robblnston farmer, looking for some
cattle which had strayed from his pas
ture. came upon their cabin unawares
and discovered the nature o f their em
ployment. He was seized by the three
lawbreakers and cnrrled Into their cab-
in. Ball, the leader o f the gang, was
in favor o f killing the visitor to make
sure that there would be no evidence
against them.
I f Smith had not strongly objected
Ball would probably have killed the
farmer, but Smith was determined
that the crime o f murder should not
be his, and a compromise was e f
fected.
The farm er was obliged to
swear by the most binding oath that
he would not reveal his discovery, anil
was then permitted to go.
The farmer, after his return home,
hesitated between his fear o f the coun
terfeiters and his sense o f duty for a
day or two, and then told the town
authorities what had befallen him and
what he had discovered. Deputy Sher
iff Downes started fo r the forest at
once, along the route described by
the farmer.
Before reaching the cabin o f the
counterfeiters the officer came upon
Ball, who was doing sentry duty.
Deputy Downes, a courageous man.
advanced upon Ball. The latter fired,
bringing down the officer at the first
shot.
Other officers later raptured
Boll, but Smith and Blaisdell escaped
and have never been heard from since.
Bail was tried, convicted o f murder
and was executed.
Before his death by hanging the
counterfeiter said that a large snm
of money had been hidden by him
at the foot of a tree near his cabin,
but be defied any one to find It, and
refused to tell its exact whereabouts.
He said most o f the money was In
genuine silver coin, the spurious mon
ey having been distributed elsewhere.
As soon as the story became known,
and fo r many years after, hundreds
tried vainly to find the hidden hoard.

H E N Captain Cook’s expe
dition anchored off the
coast o f Australia one o f tlie
first things the explorer did was
to send some of his men ashore
with instructions to bring back
specimens o f the plants, flowers
nnd animals which appeared to
be distinctive of the country.
Two of the sailors returned
with a beast which had ex
tremely long hind legs, short
fore paws and nn exceptionally
well developed tall. Cook, who
hnd never seen anything o f the
kind, desired to learn something
more about the strange animal
and sent the men back to dis
cover by what name the natives
called It.
Upon their return they report
ed that the nearest they could
come to It was "Knn-ga-roo.”
"A t least,” as one o f the men de
clared, "that’s what all the na

animal.”
So,
when

Cook returned home, he brought
with him the body o f an animal
