GOLD STAR MOTHER 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 Orivsn and Granits Drilled — Not Same as Hydraulic Power. New York.—Unheralded except among a narrow circle of engineers and technicians in England and Italy, a new method of harnessing water, In vented only a few years ago, Is com ing Into practical use. We make the waves of the air work for us In • thousand ways, and through ages have striven to chain the tides to machin 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 the same as hyuraulic transmission of power in the sense now popularly used, and it proposes, In certain fields, to rival electric trans mission. Capt. L. O. Culleton, R. E„ who Is at present in New York, and who is a friend of the Italian Inventor of the system, George Constantincsco, talked with enthusiasm of the service which 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, of course, a description of the method cannot be given without some technical terminology. The Principle. “The transmission of power through a pipe full of water Is the simplest thing imaginable—If anything, simpler than the transmission of electric cur rent over a wire,” he said. “You won der why It has never been practically applied before, since theorists bave dis cussed It so much. SCHOOL DAYS last Night’s Dreams —What They Mean DID YOU DREAM ABOUT “The principle of the system differs fundamentally from the usual concep tion of the hydraulic transmission of power, where liquid is made to flow through the system. For in wave pow er transmission the liquid does not flow, but power is handed on from particle to particle of the liquid, these vibrating about a mean position and transferring the impulse received from one to another, until at last the power received at one end of 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 water at the rate of about 4,707 feet a second. The machines are built to work at forty impulses or cycles a sec ond— 2,400 per miaute." “What are some of those machines —what can they do?” “Well, wave power generators and transmission piping are on the mar ket now In England, and tools of a good many kinds are obtainable—rock drills, riveters, coal cutting drills, disc and chain type coal-cutting machines, Impact screens, concentrating tables, even piledrivers.” “Wave 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,” Capt. Culleton answered. "Many of the laws that govern wave and electrical transmission are inter changeable. You’ll be Interested to know that in wave transmission there are the equivalents of what we call In electrical practice volts, amperes, fre quency, angle of phnse, Induction, ca pacity, resistance, condensers, trans formers, single-phase and poly-phase systems—” He was interrupted by the question whether anybody could conscript his private pond for service by aid of wave power machines. "Oh, naturally, world-wide patents cover the storage of energy In liquids. Experimental work has been carried on In England since 1914, and early in the war the British government took DRINK- ING?

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS “KANGAROO.” HEN Captain Cook’s expe dition anchored off the coast of Australia one of the first things the explorer did was to send some of his men ashore with instructions to bring back specimens of the plants, flowers and 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 an exceptionally well developed tall. Cook, who had never seen anything of 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 IL Upon their return they report ed that the nearest they could come to It was "Kan-ga-roo." “At least,” as one of the men de clared, “that’s what all the na tives said when I pointed to the animal.” So, when Captain Cook returned home, he brought with him the body of an animal which was introduced to natural history under the name “kan garoo.” It was not until a number of years later that it was found that “kan-ga-roo” was the Aus tralian equivalent for “I don’t know,” which was the reason that the natives said this when Cook’s men asked them a ques tion they didn’t understand!

Bangor, Me.—The fact that a for- tune lies burled In the dense forest somewhere along the shorea of Money- maker lake, between Robbinston and Red Beach, well-nigh forgotten by the few residente of that section who ever knew It, has again been brought to mind. A Robbinston fanner lad, having strayed some distance from home In search of trout brooks, which might furnish better sport than those nearer the settlements, came upon two men digging under some giant spruce trees near the shorea of Moneymaker lake. The men did not observe him at first and he watched them while they tolled In two or three spots. Later, when he accosted them, they told him lawbreakers and carried Into their cab- In. Ball, the leader of the gang, was In favor of killing the visitor to make sure that there would be no evidence against them. If Smith had not strongly objected Ball would probably have killed the farmer, but Smith was determined that the crime of murder should not be his, and a compromise was ef- fected. The farmer was obliged to swear by the most binding oath that he would not reveal his discovery, and m B *---------- —---------------------------------------------- no fish worth catching, the boy thought this explanation somewhat remarkable.
