83 and 85 NORTH FORSYTH STREET OPPOSITE ANSLEY HOTEL
By JONATHAN WINFIELD.
WASHINGTON, Dev. 20—How
would you like to have Santa Claus
bring you a single toy about ten feet
long and two feet wide, valued at
$10,000? How would you like to have
him deliver it to your office and place
It In a glass case as an ornament op
posite your desk?
That is what has happened to Sec
retary of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels.
The "toy” is a model of the battle
ship New York, latest and greatest of
the dreadnoughts which fly the Stars
and Stripes. This model, made with
the utmost care and attention to de
tail, has Just been turned out by the
Bureau of Construction and Repair of
the Navy Department, and has been
placed in Secretary Daniels' office to
show visitors what the New York
will look like when she is launched.
Model Costs $10,000.
The estimated cost of this model is
$ 1 0,000. and while It is far from being
utilitarian, the Democratic Secretary
of the Navy justifies its being by say
ing that the general public has a
right to see what its battleships look
like, and that the model will be placed
on general exhibition in the halls of
the Navy Department as soon as the
dreadnought enters active service.
Few persons who pass through the
Navy Department realize the im
mense cost of Uncle Sam’s toy ar
mada. made up of all classes of bat
tleships. torpedo boats and subma
rines. Every detail of these models
is perfect.
In the case of the model of the New
York, for example, this .-accuracy is
carried to such an extent that the
very gun turrets are made so that
they can be moved ’at will, and the
miniatures of the fourteen-inch guns,
fore and aft. can be trained on any
object, just as their immense broth-
er$ on the big battleship could hit
any object within twelve or fourteen
miles.
Just Like Real Battleship.
The deck of the miniature battle
ship is marked off into sections and
zones, precisely as is the deck of a
battleship. The searchlights are kll
properly placed and apparently ready
for instant use. The big skeleton
masts, the distinguishing feature of
tall American ships, are in precisely
t the position they will be on board the
] real New York, and tlie rapid-fire
guns are at their exact stations. In
each “crow’s nest’’ is a miniature fire
control station,’’ the portion of a bat
tleship which has been aptly desig
nated as the "nerve center” of th%
vessel. A modern battleship can sur
vive the loss of its boilers, it can go
on fighting after half or oven more of
its guns have been shot away, it can
deal death and destruction from a
single, turret, but the entire ship is
practically helpless if the two file con
trol station's (one in each skeleton
mast) are disabled.
It is by the use of this mechanism,
resembling nothing so much as a
telescope placed horizontally, that the
range finders are enabled to tell the
exact distance j,>f the enemy’s ships.
This is tpe foy which the Govern
mental Santa <’iaus donated to Sec
retary Daniels. Navy Department of
ficials assure me that "one can not
turn out a model for less than $10,-
000."
The Secretary of the Navy must
have a model of the New York;
therefore he spends $10,000 for an of
fice ornament, when he indignantly
declined to buy a rug which cost
about $1,000.
People Leave Rural
Routes in Indiana
COLUMBUS. INI)., Dec. 20. Fig
ures in a report by John M. Davis,
postmaster here, show the population
along the rural routes is growing
less.
The report shows there are 1.456
families on the thirteen routes that
emanate from Columbus and the esti
mated population on these routes is
about 6,000. In the last year ten
routes have shown a loss of 45 fam
ilies.
NEW YORK. Dec. 20.—Since the
first wireless telegraph message from
a moving train to a fixed station was
flashed from the fast Lackawanna
Limited to Scranton. Pa., five weeks
ago, the Improvement of tlie wireless
service between trains and stations
for commercial and operating pur
poses has been steadily going on. L.
B. Foley, the Lackawanna’s superin
tendent of telegraph, who originated
the idea of the train wireless sys
tem and has been In charge of the
tests, is making satifactory experi
ments in fields hardly thought of when
the new' use of wireless was first con
ceived.
The latest accomplishment is the
setting of signals by wireless from a
moving train or from a fixed wireless
station. When Mr. Foley reached
the city yesterday from his ’ast test
trip, he said that there was no longer
any doubt that the wireless could be
depended on for this signal service.
If an operator at a station, he said,
wants to set a signal for a moving
train not in communication with him.
he can cause the semphore blade of
the signal post to rise or fall as ue
wishes by simply sounding the prop
er dots and dashes on his Key.
Certain as Wires.
"Signals can be set by wireless,”
said Mr. Foley, "as easily a..d as sure
ly as they arc now set by electricity
conducted in wires. We have a se
lective device by which an operator
can set a signal at any point if he
has occasion to flag a train."
This means that if any mistakes
are made in the brders issued to en
gineers and conductors at stations or
in the case of any emergency in which
a train must be stopped to avert an
accident the station operator can sig
nal the train as certainly as if he
had direct wire communication with
someone on board.
"Another valuable use to which the
wireless-controlled signals can be
pul," said Mr. Foley, "is the handling
of freight trains on long runs. At
present a through freight must make
many stops between its starting point
and destination, so that orders and
instructions concerning right of way
can be delivered to the conductors,
but these frequent stops are a source
of expense and delay which will be
abolished by the wireless telegraph.
Foresees Economy.
"Keeping freight trains in motion
for long distances without stops will
j result in great economy of opera-
' tlon.” said Mr. Foley. "Railroad op
erating officials know how expensive
it is to start and stop heavy freight
trains, the additional cost of fuel witn
the attendant pulling out of draw-
’heads and the wear and tear of
equipment being no inconsiderable
items in themselves. With direct com
munication with a train'and the abil
ity to set and release signals ' y wire
less, dispatchers can keep in touca
with conductors and make the stops
needless The wireless permits the
dispatcher to hoard every train and
deliver his instructions as surely as if
he handed them to the conductor in a
sealed envelope."
That the wireless service for ordi
nary operating purposes is no long»-f
an experiment is proved by the fact
that the Lackawanna has already de
pended upotv. it when wire communi
cation was evil off.
Used After Stprm.
Recently, wbeff a aieefstrtrm
put all..telephone and telegraph lines
ofit of commission in tlie Mountain
i Divisiofl of the Lackawanna Rall-
1 road, all train orders were handled by
wireless between Scranton and Bing
hamton. where the railroad s two
fixed stations are. The signals were
strong and distinct. Mr. Foley said,
and the messages were received and
sent by the operators without diffi
culty. The wireless was the only
means of communication between
Scranton and Binghamton for two
hours, during wh.ch 54 orders were
transmitted.
Commercial telegrams ha - e already
been sent from the Lackawanna Lim
ited and a set of regular toll rates is
now being prepared by the railroad
and telegraph companies
