CROWDING STEAM ON WATER The Strides of Electricity as a Power in Navigation. PRESENT rUS'JLTS AND FUTURE PLANS Cloctrin Terry lloat , Cnnnl lloats nnd 1'lo.iiitro Cruft Coming Into Uic Motors ou Cannl Ituukt Opinions of u rrom'neut Klectrlclnn. NEW YORK , May 8. "Ono ot the most Important and at the same time least no ticed departments of electric science Is that which has to do with aquatics. " This state- mcnt Is made by Thomas Commerford Mar tin , author ot "Electrical Boats and Naviga tion. " Mr. Martin has considered the sub ject from all its standpoints. Hence , ho Is competent to speak. Thus beginning a con versation with the present reporter recently , Mr. Martin continued : "I Ihlnk It can be said that wo are In the middle of a swift evolution of electric boat building. Thus far the greatest advance - vance In the electric boat building has been made , I suppose , In the line of the launch. Its greatest exemplification was witnessed at the Chicago exposition , where electric launches were the most popular boats on the lagoon. Some of these boats have since been shipped to Venice , and there are now regu lar electric passenger boats plying the Grand canal. John Jacob Astor has several electric boats , notably the cruising launch Progresjo and the smaller Cocyra. The Progresso Is the largest electric boat In America. She Is forty-six feet long and can develop a speed of twelve miles an hour. It Is understood that Mr. Actor contemplates building a still larger electric boat. "Asldo from pleasure boats , the greatest ute to which electric launches can be put Is as small boats for our men-of-war. The lines of Mr. Aster's Cocyra were so succeisful that they were adopted by the American nnd Russian naval authorities. While the grand duke , now czar , Alexander of Russia was at Rhlnebeck-on-the-Hudson he was much struck with an electric launch which the United States government had Just com pleted for the cruiser New York. The navy department , out ot compliment to the grand ilulco , presented the launch to him and con structed a duplicate for the New York. It 'Is now a feature of the Rutslan navy. The British government owns nn electric boat which It uses as a transport to convey troops along the Medway , between Sherness and 'Chatham. "All these boats get their power from ctorago batteries , which are concealed under the seats. They therefore carry their power * lth them. The electricity Is conveyed to a motor , which In Its turn worki a propeller. The French Inventor Trouve has made an Ingenious arrangement which Is a rudder , propeller and motor combined. The motor Is situated on top ot the rudder. The propeller , 'connected by on endless chain to the motor , is located In n large slot cut through the rudder Itself. It will fit any beat. It Is only necessary to drop It Into the ordinary pin- sockets nnd R Is ready to take a supply of current ; ELECTRIC SHIPS IN PROSPCCT. j 1 < It U barely possible that we may yet go down to the sea In ships that are propelled by electricity ; electricity which gets Its being from the ocean Itself. Toe generating qua ) . < A" " * - - - b ? prftfiaTy Dal- d In the elecfro- ma.d'j to supnly the Very energy that yould propel vessels over Its curtate. Trouve ceulgned n raft battery consisting of copper mid xlno coiiplti , grouped so ass to obtain i the requisite power. He eatlmates that from a raft 100 metre * lone nd sixteen metre * wide he would obtain over 6.000 horse power "Perhaps we have learned more of the i real character ot the ocean bottom alnce the i Auction ot submarine boats than evei before. The modern diving bell boat Is only possible with electricity. The Introduction of the current has opened up a new Held and both In the line of scientific Investiga tion and in the art of war we have much to expect. The diving boat Hovgaard , Invent ed by Lieutenant Hovgaard of the Royal Danish navy. Is an instance of what has been suggested. This boat IB fish-shaped and Is propelled when on the surface by steam power and by storage battery current when submerged. Her submergablo quality is obtained from a propeller placed In a vertical well going right through the center of the vessel. She is a torpedo boat , of course , and warfare is her excuse for being. The Waddlngton , the Peral , the Gymnote and the Goubet are all types of the electric torpedo boat , with which the public Is toler ably well familiar. "The Baker submarine electric boat , the Invention of a Chlcagoan , Is another of this class. Interesting because It Is Ameri can and because the Navy department has made tests of its capabilities. The French government ordered a submarine boat to be built expressly for the purpose of destroying sdbmarlne mines. She is remarkable in that she Is driven by a motor taking current from a primary battery. I have heard noth ing regarding her performances , but It Is hard to obtain Information of this character anyway. Governments do not always care to make public the results of tests. Other governments would be apt to take advan tage. IJut perhaps the most Interesting sub marine boat , from a popular standpoint , is the Audace , launched at Focc , Italy , by a capable of being propelled and steered from shore. It carries a powerful electric lamp on top and can be sent out past boiling surf tea a distressed vessel , carrying light and succor to the shipwrecked. Something of a similar nature Is the electrically lighted life buoy In vented by Captain Mclter .of the Germap navy. It Is not al\\ays , possible to follow the cry of 'man oveiboard" with the Instant cut ting away of a buoy. Hence the man In the water Is often unable to perceive at night 'that a buoy has b"con thrown ; or , supposing ho docs and reaches It , the rescuing boat Is often unable to find him when he Is too weak to cry out as it approaches. The electric buoy will obviate most of the difficulty by being an Illuminated target for both man and boat. boat.MOVING MOVING BOATS BY ELECTRICITY. "What would you say to mooring a boat by electricity ? That ia one of the thing * which will bo done by means of th ? current. Have you ever been on a ferryboat and ex perienced the agony of waiting while the boatman tried to see how long he could be winding the windlass ? Everybody has. Now , by taking advantage of the principles of magnetism , wo may do away with all this , It has been suggested that a series of power ful electro-magnets be arranged on a ferry slip , so that a boat having large pieces of Iron afllxed to the bow will be strongly at tracted. Or the wharf Itself could have th- Iron coping placed upon It , and the magnets on the boats receive their energy from the dynamos In the regular lighting equipment. It Is feasible. "Speaking ot ferryboats reminds me that MOTOR FOR DRAWING CANAL BOATS. Roman company , for the recovery of treas ure from the ocean bottom , It Is said she can descend COO feet , a remarkable distance for a submarine boat. How she does It Is a mystery which her owner proposes shall remain undisclosed. Five men may descend In her and she has a door fitted to one of her compartments through which divers may pass without admitting a quan tity ot water. It IB also said that her own ers will go Into the business ot repairing hulls , fishing for pearls and other pursuits ot a like injure , as well as recovering treasure. THE TORPEDO AN ELECTRIC BOAT. "I suppose you might call a torpedo an electric boat. Strictly speaking , It Is a pro jectile , worked by an electric current , and controlled In most cases from a ship or from the shore. Torpedoes are too well known to the general public to admit of much discus sion. The Slmi-Edison , Lay-might and Nor- denfclt are aTT types. A remarkable one Is the Victoria , which , Instead of being launched frcm the chore , n attached to a buoy. The buoy may be located two or more miles off ihore , but the torpedo , when re- leaked , ttarti oft and Is worked from that point , The buoy to its turn li worked by cable from the shore. BO that a respectable i' ' number of mllei may lie between the operator i' ' and the ship he It trying to wreck. "One ct the best uses to which the dlrlgable or ehore-controlled torpedo hag been put Is at life-saving device. The Hlbbard llfc- Cdrpedo It practically sp electric float , these crafts will now be wortced by elec tricity. The single machine on board will bj a motor connected to the propeller. The electric current will be generated on shore and transmitted to the motor en the boat through a cable dangling along under water after the boat. The cable will Just reach across the river and la wound and unwound by means of a cplndlo as the boat goes back ward and forward. There are ferries worked by electricity obtained from a cable stretched through the air under a bridge. The boat might bo called a trolley boat , as its action Is identical , electrically , with that of a trolley car. Such a device naturally brings us to that more recent , but much more im portant , branch of electrical aquatics. I refer to the electrical canal boat. No other department has had more discussion. THE ELECTRIC CANAL BOAT. ' 'The vast influence of the canal from ttie commercial point of view makes a general Introduction of electricity on It an Impor tant question. There are from 12,000 to 15,000 miles of canals In Europe. There have been 4,463 miles of canals In the United States. More than 2,000 miles are still In use. One canal boat will carry as much as ten to twenty freight cars , and even allow ing for the difference In time consumed , the cost Is very much less by canal than by railroad. These figures are Important , In asmuch as they represent facts already laid down. The early canal boat * were pulled by slavci. Mule power WAS afterward * tubUl- luted and has continued until the present time , when It Is proposed to Introduce elec tricity. "Most people will remember the official trials of the Frank W. Ilawley on the Erie canal. The Hawley was a trolley boat. But while the trolley boat has some excellent features. It has some drawback * . Various methods have been devised. One Is the use of a false stern , containing a motor and pro peller , which can be placed on any canal boat. The current Is supplied by a cable along the sldo ot the canal. This cable lias a trolley wheel truck running on It. A flexible wire connects It to the canal boat motor. If the current Is to be obtained In this manenr , however , it Is gener ally conceded tliat a regular system of tug- nropellers should be used , each tug car rying along with It a string of boats. Another electric device sucks water through the hull of the boat and projects It out at the stern with sucli force that the boat Is propelled forward. In Franco there Is a system which provides for a cable lying in the canal. The boat has electric machinery which grips the cable tightly and by means ot revolving drums pulls Itself along. A movable cable traveling en large drums or pulleys along the canal bank has been used. The canal boatman attaches a hawser to the cable , and the boat , consequently , Is pulled along as the cable moves. It has been sug gested also that we pull the boats In series by means ot locomotives running along the canal banks. A CANAL BOAT MOTOR ON THE BANK. "The most Ingenious method of all , per haps. Is that which calls for the erection of a double rail along the canal bank. The rail carries a current of electricity and at the same time serves as a track on which runs a small motor. It Is merely necessary to run a line from the boat to the motor. The motor runs along of Itielf and drags the boat after It. This method , or others analogous to It , may be strongly commended , because there Is no propeller to cause the water to wash away the canal banks the great ob jection to iteam canal boats. "Tho Introduction of electricity en canals has another advantage the illumination of the towpath , quite an Important element In furthering the operation of the canal , I notice that the Baltic canal Is to be equipped with 23,000 Incandescent lamps. The Man chester canal is Illuminated , and so will be the proposed ship canal whch | will extend from Mobile to the Gulf of Mexico. " THEODORE WATERS. Local Court of Urn Ilur. At the third rcgulan ipeet'ng ' of the local court of the Tribe ot BiVi Hur , held May 3 at Patterson hall , twenty-eight members were elected and took the ; igll membership de gree. As the local -cuu-t has been estab lished less than a ononth , taking Into con sideration the character and social standing of the applicants , tthts may well be con sidered a remarkable ! Increase. The amount of insurance In this 'order Is graded accordIng - Ing to age , but thei monthly payments are the same , thus affording absolute equity to young and old. A reserve fund Is created by setting aside 10 rw'cent of the monthly payments to provide : against Increased cost arising from Increasing mortality of future years and to pay the.monthly payments of the members whose -certificates become fully paid and non-assessabtoiby reason ot having reached their expectancy. The order has two beneficial northern divisions , all members north ot the south line ot Kentucky being In the northern division and all south In the southern. No assessments are made on the death of members , but all claims are paid from the monthly payments to the benefit fund. In April of this year the order sustained Its first loss , which was paid Im mediately upon filing of proper proof at the office of the supreme tribe. The next meetIng - Ing of the court will be held Friday , May 17 , at Patterson ball. An amusing story , told some years ago of H. A. Sothern , the actor , U going the rounds again. Upon a certain evening he was In vited to two entertainments , one for children and the other a reception ( or grown people. Fond ot children , Sothern decided to go to the party given for the little ones , and , think ing U would be a great Joke to go Into the parlor on all fours and roaring like a bear , he did so , much to the amusement of the cuests and his own subsequent unhapplneis , for once In the middle of the room he looked up and saw that he had made a mlitakt In the house and had played bear for the crown people and not ( or the children.

OCCASION CLOSED WITH A BArQUET Woodmen of the World 1'rcpnrlng for Their Memorial Day In June Clnu Gordon Looking from May Soclnl to tlio Annual I'lcnlc. All Friday evening , and far Into the night , Masonic temple was given over to the Knights of the Order of the Red Cross. The occasion was a special conclave of Mt. Calvary coni- mandery , No. 1 , which conferred the order of the Red Cross upon thirteen candidates and wound up the affair with a banquet and ball. The entire afternoon , from 2 until 6 o'clock , was occupied with the work. To the banquet in the evening the lady friends of the companions were Invited. The tables were spread In the largo dining hall and about them were seated fully 250 people Shortly after SCO o'clock. The menu was excellent. The toasts were under the di rection of Rev. T. J. Mackay. The following toasts wererespondedto : "Wine , " by Rev. S. Wright Butler ; "King , " by Samuel Burns ; "Woman , " by Ed J. Cornish ; "Truth , " by Rev. William T. Whltmarsh. During the short Intermission between the banquet and the ball the guests were enter tained with a stercoptlcon exhibition , but at 10 o'clock the large hall had been cleared for dancing , and the majority ot the guests spent several hpurs In the enjoyment of a program ot a dozen numbers. Among those present were : Mr. and Mrs. Edwin. R. Perfect. Perry A. Lyons. George E. Warner and daughter , Robert Carleton , Leverett M. Anderson , Harry O. Counsman , Rowland W. Bailey.

The Woodmen of the W-trld of the city are preparing to celebrate their memorial day already , and propose to make It one ot the events of the summer In secret society cir cles. The day falls on June C , and Is the anniversary of the day on which the order was founded. It has become the custom , however , to spend the day In decorating the grave * of the deceared members , and In the performance ot exercises In honor of the memory of members who have passed away. This year the affair will occur on the Sunday after the fith of June , In order to allow all members In the city and In neighboring town * an opportunity to take part. The program of the day has already been prepared In outline , and the detail * are now being completed by a committee , consisting of John G. Kuhn , C. P. Leary and F. W. \Vnll oy. They Intend to appoint two sub committees , the duty of one being to dec orate the graves of the departed In the morning. The other committee will meet the delegations that are expected and will see to their entertainment. Fully 2,000 strangers are expected ( o come , Invitations will be sent out to all ledges within a radius of 15ft miles of the city and special railroad rates nlll be obtained for them. In the afternoon at 2 o'clock a procession will be formed In the heart of the city , which will march In line to the place where the exercises will be held. The place has not been decided , but Hanscom park will be ob tained If possible. Wherever the place Is , Impressive services and ceremonies will be held over a monument In honor of the dead. The orator of the day has not been chosen. Alpha camp No 1 , Woodmen of the World , Is forming What may be termed the first uniform rank ot the order. It Is to be called the pioneer corps and will consist ot the members of the morning degree ot wood craft. The idea originated with the members of the degree In Alpha camp. Today at 2:30 : those who are eligible will meet In the lodge hall to decide upon the uniform. The corps will start out with sixty-three members. The newly organized -grove of the Wood men circle In South Omaha has been named Primrose grove N.O. 6. It contains a mem bership of fifty-two. The following are the officers : Worthy guardian , Mrs. Harriet Garrison ; worthy adviser , Mrs. Maud Olm stead ; clerk , Miss Jessie Arthwld ; banker , Miss Daisy Heasley ; magician , Miss Jennie L. Cottrell ; physician , Dr. Shemer ; attendant. Miss Clara Jones ; Inside sentinel , Mrs. Mary Nichols ; outside sentinel , Mrs. Mary Per- sells ; board of managers , Mrs. Mary Nichols , Maggie Heasley and Mrs. Mrs. Harriet Gar rison. The meetings arc held In Knights of Pythias hall in South Omaha. Druid camp No. 21 gave a largely at tended smoker last week In the lodge rooms at Sixteenth and Corby streets. An informal program of music was given by those present. Sovereign Clerk John T. Yates has gone to Memphis for two weeks , to which place he accompanied the Thurston Rifles on Thursday night. Sovereign Commander Root is In Sedalla , Mo. Wai < the l.nst or tlio Kerlon. The last of the series of entertainments given by Omaha lodge No. 2 , Independent Order of Odd Fellows , , assisted by Ruth Rebekah lodge , 'during the winter and spring occurred on Friday night In the Independent Order of Odd Fellows' temple at Fourteenth and Dodge streets. A largo attendance was present to enjoy an unusually good entertain ment. At the conclusion of the program the guests were served with delicious light le- freshments and then a couple of hours were spent In dancing. The following program was rendered : Recitation Jllsa Hutli Cobb Piano Solo Miss I .mini Hartson Address J. A. Williams Song Miss La Hlancli Recitation Miss Latsscr Cornet nnd Piano Duct Harry Jackson and daughter , Iloxs Recitation Miss Hutli Cobb Piano and Violin Solo Mr. Emsley and daughter , Grace Song Lillian Rosenberg Piano and Violin Duet..Rosenberg Sisters Song Lillian Emsley Perhaps the hit of the evening was made by 7-year-old Lillian Emsley , who brought down the house by her two selections , "Alabama Coon" and "Won't You Be My Sweetheart ? " Her tinging was very iwtul and pretty , and her cunning gestures and motions were those of a miniature actress. The Misses Rosenberg , young girls , played remarkably for their years , The recitations of Miss Cobb were also deserving ot special mention. She showed In both of her selec tions that she was thoroughly conversant with the principles of her art. The re mainder of the program was equally enjoy able. Clan Ooriloii't May Hoclal. An enjoyable May social was given last Fri day night In Chambers academy under the auspices of Clan Gordon No , C3 , Order of Scottish Clanc. A Urge attendance was pres ent. The principal part of tha evening was taken up with dancing , fifteen dances being on the programv but the numbers were In- tenpemd with vocal selection * . The vocal ists who took part were Miss Tlmnie , Mrs. H. Fltt and Messrs. Cole , FJndlay , Gardner and Dlffen , Prof Gray's pupils dancil tha highland fling to a bagpipe accompaniment played by J. Davle. Among the guests were Chief McCrao and several other members of Clan Stewart of Council Bluffs. j The following had the afralr In charge : A. W. Anderson , A. II. Rutherford , George D. Shand , Thomas Meldrum , sr. , William Home. Andrew Gray , Joseph Gray , NV. R. Adams , Charles McAdam , A. Peacock. The clan Is already preparing for the regu lar annual picnic. The place where It Is la be held has nol been chosen , but will bo be fore the end of this month. It will lia held on July 4 , If transportation to the plcnlo grounds can bo obtan ! < d from the railroad companies. If not , It will be held some tlma during the latter part of July. The affair will be made as distinctively Scottish as here tofore. Drgroo of I'ocalionliiH. Mlnnehaha council No. 2 , Degree of I'oca- hontas , whose tepee Is located on the corner of Ams avenue and Thirty-second street , Is experiencing a spell of Its old tln-o prosperity. A degree team to conduct adoption ceremonies has been organized and consists entirely ot ladles , excepting the chief , Powhattan. U lu composed as follows : Pocahontaf , Sister Mary Gruner ; Wenonah , Sister Lily Gardner ; prophetess. Sister Luella Jnckman ; Powhat- tan , Brother Thomas Dalton ; fir ft scout , Sis ter Nellie Hale ; second scout , Sister Flora Whitney ; first runner , Sister Wllhe'mlna Baler ; second runner , Sister Kate Mueller ; warriors , braves and counsellors. Sinters Ella Jackman , Kate Keenan , Cilia Skoalian , Etta Blakeman , Ida Gall , Frances Seldn r , Mica Carrel , Kate Hulltt , Elmonla Hillock and May Elwell. The plan Is found to work excel lently. The vim and spirit displayed by the ; ladles put the brothers to shame , and the hap. less paleface Is sure his last hour has conio when In the hands of the team. Five appli cants faced the music at the laU regular council on May 9 , and thl * number only served to whet the appetites ot the I ad I n for moro paleface gore.
