These figures show that the seago- | ing tonnage otf American ships has! increased nearly 10,400,000 tons al- most 500 percent, since 1914. Whi the period involved is rs, the! great spurt in American ship con- struction covered only half that per-1 iod. .

Yards.Unused Even when ine United States en- tered the war in 1917 the building a of the American yards..was below the output required. There were at that time only 61 Amer; ican shipyards,which could build sga- going ships. Of this number 37, o1 little more than half, were equipped for steel shipbuilding. These yards had a total of 162’ ways. while 2! wood shipyards comprised ways. ~ America’s great effort in shipbuild- ing,-came after 1917,.1S0 rapidly were yards created, when the nation set out in earnest to. meet the world’s call for, ships, that’ before hostilities ended the United States possessed ship plants for seagoing ship struction with a total of 1284 ways. is was more than double ‘the num- ber of. shipways in the yards of all other nations combined. _' In 1917 there were only 75,000 mon {employed in the American shipbuild- ing industry. By.

The story of the Paisley shawl—a specimen, I hear, has just been pre- sented to Lady Bonham-Carter—forms one of the shortest and most romantic chapters in the modern history 6f in- dustry, a writer in the West- minster Gazette. The manufacture of beautiful things was begun, ched a great height of prosperity and became extinct in the space of a little over eighty years. No Paisley shawl has been woven’ since 1880, and none is likely ever to leave the looms { again, The shawl had its origin in the ambition of the Paisley weavers to produce on the loom the amazingly elaborate patterns, woven. by the needle, of the Cashmere shawls that had been sent home from the East by Scottish officers and traders to their; women, folk, ‘f The Paisley weavers’ were notable craftsmen, and they produced a shawl which excelled its prototype in beauty of design and richness of color. ‘Their suce was the reward of patience, skill, taste and a delicacy’ of touch which, experts say, has probably never been equaled befare_ or si in the weaving craft. A common price | for one of these shawls in the days when they were not a rarity was $100, and they were worn by women of all classes in Scotland except the very poor. Then fashion decreed that the Paisley shaw] should no longer be the mode, and its fate was sealal. Queen Victoria gave the dying industry a new, but brief, lease of life when she bought seventeen of the famous shawls and wore one at the baptism of the prince who was to become King Edward, RHODESIA “LAND OF OPHIR?” Archeologigts Have Long Contended , for and Against Arguments to That Effect. The extensive ruins of,ancient forts, temples and gold workings in Rho- desia have ben given rise to consider- able controversy from time to time, some archeologists contending that ; they are only four hundred or five hundred years old and others howing that they date back to at le; two thousand years before the Christian era, and that Rhodesia was the land ; of Ophir, mentioyed in the Bible at chapters ix and x of I Kings. 1 It is noteworthy that Milton’ in “Paradise Lost,” book II, speaks of the angel Michael leading Adam to a hill of paradise from whose top His eyes might there command wherever stood City of old or modern fame, from the walls of Cambalu to * © © Sofala (thought Ophir) to the realm of Congo, and Angola, far- thest south, The theory has been advanced that if Rhodesia was not actually Ophir, it was at least the “Havilah” whence the gold of Ophir was obtained and which was so much in evidence at Solomon's entertainment of the queen of Sheba. If this theory is correct ! then Sofala of today would be the ish,” the ancient sea- port for “Havilah,” and the outlet for precious stones, metals and other merchandise, Ophir being situated in all probability on the southern coast of Arabia and constituting a distribut- ing emporium rather than the place of origin of these things, Emaciated Bride Considered Beautiful.

Ever since the publication of a brief dispatch from Washington a few days ago to the effect that the war depart- ment wag experimenting with a new type of noiseless machine gun that substituted centrifugal force for pow- der as a propelling power Edward Thomas Moore, an attorney of New York, has been receiving letters fron friends asking him ff the gun which is being experimented with now isn't the same one that he invented and sub: mitted to the war department a few weeks before the armistice was signed To a World reporter Mr. Moore not only admitted that the gun was his in vention, but offered to explain its prin- ciple. For several years prior to the war Mr. Moare, who lives in Passaic, N. J., was a major and judge advocate in the New Jersey National Guard by governor of New Jersey. When the United States entered the war Major Moore was pressed into service by the war department and assigned to New Jersey as inspector of the draft in that state. His invention of the “Moore centrifugal gun,” for which he arfd Saul Singer of Cedarsburg, L, I, obtained patents, was offered to the war department shortly before the The cessa- tion of hostilities delayed experiments with the gun, but Major Moore left the invention with the bureau of stand- ards for further tests, «David Up to Date.” Mr. Moore says that the Biblical ing Goligth with a stone which he whirled around his head/in a sling gave him the idea of applying centrifugal force to the op- eration of 2 machine gun, “Bringing David up to date” is the way he de- scribed it. There have been other attempts to invent a centrifugal gun. Mr. Moore does not claim to have originated the idea, He says the French, the Rus- sians and the Japanese have experl- mented with centrifugal guns from time to time, but were never success- ful because of their failure to control the dispersion of the bullets. From the tests which Mr. Moore conducted for the war department and those now Mr. Moore's claim té fame lies in hav- ing invented the first practical centrif- ugal gun. ‘Control of the Bullets. ’ In the gun which Mr. Moore has in- vented complete control is obtained over the dispersion of the bullets by a special patented timing device which feeds the balls into the gun barrel at a regular rate and ejects them at reg- ular intervals and from the sane opening. According to Mr. Moore, the tests have shown that his gun is capa- ble of firing a ball a mile and a half and killing a man at that distance also that a ball fired from the muzzle of the gun a short distance away has penetrated seven thicknesses of heavy planking, which he says is one thick- ness more than a bullet from any army .45 Colt will penetrate, Centrifugal force is nothing more than the tendency which objects have to fly off in a straight line when rap- idly revolv ubout a fixed center. The thost common utilization of centrifu- gal force is in the modern cream separator. Several Problems. In seeking to apply centrifugal force to a machine gun, however, Mr. Moore was confronted with several prob- lems. In the first place, in order to get sufficient force to propel a ball 850 feet a second, which is the speed of a bullet from a Colt automatic, sev- erai thousand revolutions of the gun barrel a second had to be obtained, This necessitated the construction of a special type of electrie motor to pro- vide the requisite revolutions, Then the tensile strength of the metals en- tering into the composition of the gun, and particularly of the barrel, had to 's knowledge e strength of s being limited !ted experts in those various lines, and assembled the information aollected from these various sources before starting to construct the cen-} trifugal gun. The main parts of the gun as de- signed by Mr. Moore consist of an up- right shaft attaqhed to a powerful j electric motor capable of giving it-a rotation of 10,000 revolutions a min- ute, Attached to the shaft, and at right anglas to it, is 1 hollow steel arm eight inches long which serves as the gun. barrel. Balls instead of bullets are used, and are half an inch in di- ameter or .50 caliber. The Timing Device. In Mr. Moore's opinion the most es- sential part of the gun is the timing device, which lets the balls into the barrel at just the proper time and in- terval to insure their emerging from - the end of the barrel the instant it reaches the opening in the stationary gun covering or easing which incloses a The world’s diamond industry is practically monopolized by the De Beers snydicate in South Africa.
