hailed as a newly come conqueror on

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.

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

are the equivalents of what we call In
electrical practice volts, amperes, fre
quency, angle of phnse, Induction, ca

systems—”
He was interrupted by the question
whether anybody could conscript his
private pond for service by aid of wave
power machines.

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!
