LAUNCHING A VESSEL.
The Crnelal Momt I When A Tie
Takes the Water.
That a launch is a matter of mathe
niaticR, as well as of great skill and
labor. Is shown by the fact that the
man of science who has the matter in
charge always makes a set of calcula
tions showing the strain of the ship
and its precise condition at practically
every foot of the journey down the
ways. If a boat should get in the way,
or if (t should take an unusual length
of time to knock out the keel blocks,
or if any one of half a dozen things
should cause serious delay, the scien
tific man knows just how long he can
wait and Just how far the limit of
safety extends.
There Is always one supreme mo
ment In a launch, and it is at a time
that escapes the average spectator. It
is when the vessel gets fairly well Into
the water. This Is when an important
factor known ns the "moment of buoy
ancy" comes into play. If you can
imagine a vessel sliding down an in
cline without any water into which to
drop, you can see that the vessel would
tip down suddenly at the end which
has left the ways and would rise at the
end still on the Incline. But really in
successful launches the stern of the
vessel is gradually lifted up by the
water, and this throws the weight for
ward on that part of the ship still rest
ing on the ways. The force of the !
water Is called the "moment of buoy- 1
ancy," and the natural tendency of the
ship to drop to the bottom of the
stream Is called the "moment of
weight." Now, the moment of buoy
ancy must always be greater than the
moment of weight, but It must not be
very much greater, for If It were it
would throw too much weight forward
on the part of the ship still on the
ways and might break them down or
Injure the plates or keel of the ship.
When the English battleship Itamlllies
was launched, this did really happen,
and so great was the strain near the
bow that parts of the cradle were ac
tually pushed right into the bottom of
the vessel. It is this danger of disaster
that causeB the scientific launcher to
make the most careful calculations as
to the conditions surrounding the ship
at every foot of her Journey into the
water.

T'nless words without uieantug are
usoj. a person's vocabulary must be
bounded by his knowledge. Many
years ngo I wns teaching a class of
poor children in the school connected
with the Church of St. Paul's, Covent
Garden. One day I exhibited a picture
of n hayflVld with men carting hay.
I asked the children what the men
were throwing up into the cart. They
answered, without a moment's hesita
tion, "Mud!" It then occurred to me
for the first time that these children
had never svou a hay field or the cart
ing of liny, hut the scavenger's cart,
carting mud, they were quite familiar

Why is the word "tar" a synonym
for "sailor?" Some dictionaries say
that the allusion is to the seaman's
tarry hands and clothes the "savour
of tar" of Stephano's song In "The
Tempest." Iltirns uses "tn try breoks"
ns equivalent to "sailor." But It is re
garded as much more probable that
"tar" Is short for "tarpaulin," since
Clarendon and other writers colloquial
ly use "tarpaulin" to signify a seaman.
Of course, this ultimately gets back to
tar, a tarpaulin being a tarred "pall
ing," or covering (the same word as
"pall").

VIBRATION.
Examples of 'lis Wonderful Powt
and I'enetralloB.
The wonderful force of vibration !
recognized In nil Its power by few
architects and builders. It would
auiuse them If they were told that the
most solidly built of their walls would
l.e Injured by the continuous scraping
of a bow across a violin. Of course It
would lake years of playing to loosen
masonry and render Iron brittle, but
there nre facts on record which show
that such n result has occurred. On a
first class Imltlcshlp a man may feel
the vibrations of a violin though he
may not be able to hear the music. It
is the regularity of the vibrations
which tells. The player Is not affected
by lliem, for lie Is a flexible object and
can give way to motion.
Kvery one knows that a squad of
soldiers or any body of marching men
break step in crossing a bridge, no
mutter what Its size and strength may
be, for none could withstand the vibra
tions of this concerted action. Even
Hie tread of a dog may make a bridge
shake because of the regularity of the
vibration, so that ou many of the big
suspension bridges dogs nre not al
lowed unless carried lu the arms of
their owners
A good Illustration of the power of
vibration can be found In tho Green
wich observatory. It stands on the top
of a hill on whose slopes hundreds of
children play on fine evenings. Their
favorite play Is to join hands at the
top and dash headlong to the bottom,
where (hey fall in a heap. This starts
the vibration of the hill to such an ex
tent that tho scientists of the observa
tory are unable to carry ou their ob
servations, which depend upon tho mo
tionless state of a tray of mercury.
The solid hill Is in such a state of tre
mor that the vibrations continue till
long past midnight, when the children
who have caused It have been asleep
for hours. ,
A still more wonderful Illustration of
vibration is in the human throat Six
ty vibrations per second Is the least
number by means of which a sound
can be produced. This Is a sound nev
er used In speaking, but Is found In
men's voices in an extremely low reg
ister. The highest sound produced by
the human voice that Is, E in altisslmo
Is caused by 1,024 vibrations per sec
ond. This, too, Is exceptional, being
only obtainable In the highly cultivated
female or boy voices.
It Is simply the vocal chords which
vibrate, not the t!troat. In the lower
notes the whole length and thickness
of the vocal chords are used, the thin
edges being employed for the highest
ones. Thus In speaking for a minute
or two there Is sufficient vibration en
gendered In the throat, were its walls
of a solid nature Instead of soft and
flexible, to shatter and destroy It Ev
ery minute we speak the vocal chords
"orate from 20,000 to 40,000 times.
