THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1895. 21 KINETIC STABILITY. By ROBERT STEVENSON, C.E. SEVENTH AND CONCLUDING PAPER. In the six preceding papers I have tried | to give as clear an idea of the principle of kinetic stability, and its action in the case of gravity, as the columns of a popular newspaper would permit. I have shown now kinetic energy produces kinetic stabil- ity in the case of the bicycle, and how the beautiful sinnous ~urves of elastic motion are produced by the same principle, in the case of water issuing under pres irom a garden-hose nozzle. By merely vibrating or shaking the nozzle five or six times in a second you can get quite & number of | vibrations, in which you have a visible | vroof that the attraction of grav y has | nothing to do with "the production of | natural curves. We have a similar illustration in the smoke rings, although mathematical an- | alysis has tried to vprove that the| stability is due to components of gravity | and buoyancy, but the proof is more con- | vineing when the factor of kinetic stability is introduced. I am sure whenever the | experiments I bave given in my pamphlet on “Elasticity a Mode of Motion” are verified by the scientists-at the California | University thev will find the truth of this | great natural principle. | Before closing the series I would like to v a few words to the mathematicians who | take an interest in this subject. In my pamphlet I have given the geometrically kinetic proof that: Every body which has | kinetic energy has also kinetic stability, and that its kivetic stability acts as a | latent energy, at right angles, and always equal to the kinetic energy. You are | aware, of course, that it 1s quite impossible for me to introduce the calculus into a newspaper article so as to give the analyti- | cal proof necessary to establish a scientific principle, and so bring it under the con- trol of mathematical analysis. However, by means of words and a_few symboli- | cal equations I think I can make| my meaning sufficiently clear to put you | on the right way to study the subject; so | that those who can use the calculus with the same ez 2 and confidence that a wood- | turner can use his lathe will be enabled to | produce some wonderful results from the artistic manipulation of this greatest of all the natural principles. Those of you who are familiar with the works of Lamé, Clark Maxwell, Stokes, | Kelvin and Tait will know how assid-| uously those great mathematicians searched for this hidden principle; how | Green in his search for the potential, and Fourier in his sreat harmonic function, | Gauss in his least action and Hamilton | in his stationary and varying action and characteristic function, spent | their lives in developing the reat harmonic analysis, with the fervent hope | in their breast that the great potential | principle of nature would by that means | be discovered to be a mode of motion. | Those of you who are not so familiar with the glorious and controlling faith which spurred those great philosophers on to high and mighty endeavor should read S8ir| William Thomson’s lecture on the “Elas- ticity of Motion.” (See volume I of his| Popuiar Lectures in the libraries.) Many people think that this principle I have discovered and am trying to explain | to the readers of THE CALL s something | which, even if true, is of little practical | o; but they will yet find that its in- | c worth does not depend on theiwr n. Had I been a scientific author- vy, like Kelvin or Le Conte, and had all the facilities of a university laboratory at my command to verify the principle by | experiment in a vacuum, the leading | sublishers of the world would have, been tumbling over each other to secure the right to publish the discovery, and the co ight of these seven papers would have yielded their author thousands of dollars. Let me quote the words of one of the greatest mathematicians of this age, who is also a great natural philosopher. In the Enclycopedia Britannica, ninth edition, volume 15, page 748, section 297, in article on_*‘Mechanics,” Pry . Tait of Edinburgh, in discussing the characteristics of energy, 58, “But there is one point of importance connected with energy, of surpassing in- portance 1n mechanical science, viz.: That | when two measurable quantities of any | kind are equivalent to the other, their numerical expressions must involve the same fundamental unitsand in the same | manner. This is obvious from the fact that an alteration of any unit alters in the inverse ratio the numerical measure of any quantity which is| a mere multiple of it. And equivalent | quantities must always be expressed by | equal numbers when both are measured in terms of the same system of units. It appears, therefore, from the conservation of energy directly, as well as from the spe- | cial data already given, that potential en- ergy must, like kinetic energy, be of d\-‘ mensions [ MI37—2]. Now, it1s impossible | to conceive of a truly dormant form | of energy whose magnitude should depend in any way on the unit of time; and we | are therefore forced to the conclusion that potential energy, like kinetic energy, de- | pends (in some as yet unexplained or rather unimagined way) upon motion. And the conclusion which appears inevita- ble is that whatever matter may be the | other reality in the physical universe, en- | ergy, depends in all” its widely varied | forms upon matter in motion.” & Now the princ)&)le of kinetic stability explains all the difficulty and goes one | step further and proves that matter itself | isaform of energy. ln the line of har-| monic-analysis both Kelyin, Fourier and | Tait have shown how simple harmonic | motion and vibrations of an elastic string, such as the sinuous curves we saw in the vibration of the water par-| ticles issuing from a small nozzle, can by superposition be transiormed into elliptical motion similar to that of the planets | around the sun, and strictly observing the law of the inverse square of the distance; when the time of the periodic motion was as the sesquiplicateratio of halfthe majoraxis. So that what is left for me to do is simply to explain mathematically how the super- position of two transverse energies will produce_elastic motion and potential en- ergy. When once you know that then you can, by the intelligent application of La Grange's system of generalized co-ordi- nates, or by the polar method and Fou- rier's function and the calculus, work out a multitude of surprising results. b According to my definition, kinetic stability is that latent energy exhibited _bg a conservative system, in virtue of whic| the whole energy of the system may be in- creased by any finite amount without desiroying the stability of the system. According to the present theory of at- traction as the cause of stability, there was always a fear that the stability of the solar sysiem was liable to be destroyed by some outside influence. Some philoso- phers went so far as to prove that the equilibrium of the system was 0 perfect that if meteorites did not belong to the tem their accession to the system uld long ere this have destroyed its » A stability. But now we have nothing to fear. The simplest case to consider is that of a particle moving in_a straight line, hav- ing ation without rotation. Of course if it had rotation, together with translation, like the bicycle, or the solar system, it would have thst much more kinetic energy, and a corresponding extra amount of kinetic stability; but we will deal with the simpler case, because some of my correspondents think rotation is really necessary to stability, but such is not the case. Of course, on the earth’s surface, where we cannot have free motion, we require greater kinetic energy to neutral- ize the resistances, and we can only get great velocity in a manner we can experi- ment with by the use of rotation. The law is—as I have proved in my pamphlet—that kinetic energy and kinetic | the stability are equal to each other, and it doesnot matter how the kinetic energy be produced, whether by translation or rota- tion. The resultant kinetic energy will 2 ys have its equal resultant kinetic Let us take, then, the case of a particle which has translation only, and that straight line of motion must be supposed | to take place in a vacuum where there is no gravity. That is what we call free | space. It is an unusual condition, but to the mathematician it is the most simple of all conditions to imagine. Let m=DMass of particle. Let v=Velocity. Then my*=E—Energy or vis viva. 2 Then " —F,=Kinetic energy. Kinetic stability. +Eg= ominal energy. Potential energy. Now we find that the potential energy and the kinetic stability vary inversely between certain limits according to a cer- tain law, so that when the kinetic stability . : 2 is a maximum and equal to 25" then the potential energy is equal to 0. By the laws of the conservation of en- ergy we know that the particle cannot lose its energy in any way without doing work, nor can it increase its energy without hav- ing work done on it. Let us suppose that the kinetic energy of another particle, equal to Fx, be superimposed on the first moving particle, in a line at right angles, or transverse to its motien; then the par- ticle would have twice the energy. ow, 1f the particle had twice the en- v (such as would be the case in the ex- periment described in pages 55and 56 o my pamphlet), then what reasons have we to expect that the resultant motion would be curvilinear or elastic? The answer is: because a curvilinear resultant solves the problem of clastic motion. At present mathematical science denies that the resultant of the two transverse energies would be curvilinear. The proof, or the accepted proof, that the resultant velocity would be represented in direction and magnitude by the diagonal of thedparnl]elogram, of which the adja- cent sides represent the composite ener- gies, is well known and can be found in any textbook on dynamics. But this is just the point where the illusion comes in, and it shows how easy it is for the wisest men to be mistaken and how the greatest scientist may err. The accepted proof looks very simple and clear. The superposition of an equal additional energy in any direci n (because energy is irrespective of direction), gives twice the energy; and as the energy varies as the square of the velocity, the resultant velocity would be equal to /Zv. And it just happens that in the case in question the diagonal is just equal to square root two=,/3. Consequently no one thought it could be otherwise, and I never dreamed of it until I found by ex- periment that the resultant was curvilinear, and then the whole truth flashed apon me. Now tne fact is that the resultant kinetic energy is not 2 E, but /3 Ex; and 2 Ex—/5 Ex—=E,=Potential energy. If you will expand the velocities due to these energies and note that the velocity due to the potential acts at right angles to the velocity due to the kinetic energy, and that the difference between the forces producing the kinetic stability and the potential energy is the measure of the force of restitution, and that in small dis- turbances that variesasthe distance from a fixed plane, then by using suitable co-ordi- nates you can get the equation of the curve of sines. And by considering how the combined translation and rotation of the solar sys- tem superimposes these elastic curves under varying phases, you can then by vour calcuius solve the whole probiem of gravitation. Now you know how kinetic stability en- ables kinetic energy to produce worlds and systems of worlds, and how the motion of atoms round a center produces a molecule; because the solar system is, so to speak, & molecule magnified a few billion of billions of times and may be said to be only one of the infinite number of cerebral cells in the brain of the Infinite One, who by his in- telligence and his will has evolved them all by the spirit of his power, from his own consciousness, as phenomena which he has given his creatures senses to per- ceive. It is unnecessary for me to dwell longer on the Smithsonian conditions, because those of you who can handle the calculus can easily see that kinetic stability fills the whole bill and does away with the attrac- tion of matter entirely. You will also perceive by tne use of the proper data how magnetic and electric induction is produced; how heat and light, and life itself, can be produced and transformed from the one into the other by intellicent direction. But there is one thing you will never learn how or be able to produce, viz.: an in- finitesimal portion of energy more than at_present exists in the universe. In conclusion, I beg to thank the editor of TEE CarL for allowing me the privi- lege of enlisting the assistance of press to bring sufficient pressure on the State University, so as if possible induce them to take this discovery up, verify it by experiment and publish the resulis to the world. I have been constrained in these papers to restrict myself to the mechanical action of kinetic stability, but if the readers of TrE CaLL will assist me to get the univer sity authorities to verify the experiments in a vacuum, I have sketched out in my | |BATTLE-SHIPS FOR JAPAN, pamphblet; I will, with the permission of the editor, at some future time, continue the subject into the regions of organic and spiritual science.

Mr. Isono to visit the Union Iron Works to thoroughly acquaint himself with their capacity, manner of working and every- thing connected with the construction of large battle-ships. Incidentally he states himself as willing to confer with Ameri- can merchants regarding the development of American and Japanese commerce. In a talk yesterday he said: I desire to have it distinetly understood that I am here in no official capacity. I come here simply 1rom my intense patriotism for my native land. I can say positively that the Japanese Government is very favorably in- clined toward the United States and its people. It may be supposed by American shipbuilders ‘apan is more disposed toward British builders, but this is not the case. Japa knows that the United States Government’ test of materials used in its ships is very severe, and if Japan thought she would be accorded the same excellence at the hands of your ship- builders she perhaps would, make achoice of this country, even thougn American prices might be slightly in advance to those of other nations. 1t 15 known almost definitely that Japan intends having two large warships constructed in this country.

A MYSTERIOUS STORY TOLD, [ Claimed She Was Married to a Stranger After Being Drugged in a Restaurant. Miss Lottie Heggarty, the young and beautiful adopted daughter of the wealthy Beatty family living on Railroad avenue, has disappeared. Her parents, by adoption, Mr. and Mrs. J. Beatty, who think as much of heras they do of their own children, are almost distracted, and have done everything in their power to trace the young woman’s whereabouts. Their anxiety has a dual cause. Miss Heggarty has had a sensational and exciting experience during the last two months. It has been withheld from publicity up to the present time, for rea- sons which will appear obvious as the tale is unfolded. Two months ago Miss Heggarty, who | was remarkably domestic in her habits and unusually circumspect in her inter- course with the opposite sex, was induced to take lunch with two gentlemen and a lady acquzintance at a downtown restau- rant. During the courses she says she was urged to drink a little wine. She ob- jected, but finally consented to take a few sips, and on those few sips hang's the tale. he wine, she claims, was drugged. Whatever the nature of the beverage it | had the effect of rendering her plastic in the hands of the man whom she charges with designs against her person and estate. Soon after leaving the restaurant, so she | informed her lawyers, this man (F. Mead- rick) made the proposition that they pro- ceed at once to the City Hall and get mar- ried. She went with the man without the least hesitancy, so she says her lady friend informed her, and after procuring a license the two were married by Justice of the Peace Cook. Miss Heggarty—or Mrs. Meadrick, as she must be regarded in the eyes of the law—did not regain her senses, she de- clared, until they had left the hall and | were walking down Market street to take a car. The full and appalling realizing sense of what she had done came on her at a flash. She felt like one awaking from an excit- |ing and intensely realistic dream and she sprang away from the side of her husband |and dashed down Eighth street. She neither knew nor cared where she was going. Her only thought was to get away. She succeeded in making her escape, and after a few hours occupied in wandering about unfamiliar neighborhoods while in her excited state she reached the home of | her parents on Railroad avenue. | Mr. and Mrs. Beatty were greatly | shocked on learning what had happened, but immediately took steps to annul the | marriage. They consulted a prominent | legal firm, and when Mrs. Meadrick told | her story the attorneys had no doubt she was drugged. Ic was also ascertained that Meadrici was a man of questionable repu- tation, and his unwilling bride of twenty | minutes said she hac subsequently learned | it a nyisance. | walked off the pier into the bay. | near-sighted, bemng almost blind in one eye. herrllmsband was an opium or morphine end. Papers were made out for serving on the for legal procedure when the distracted parents callea on the attorneys and in- formed them that Lottie had disappeared or been spirited away. It was subse- quently learned that she had gone to Fresno to escape the persecutions of her husband. She had become {rightened, and baving an abundance of money at her command, she sought to escape, being fearful that the law was powerless to pro- tect her from the man whom she had mar- ried under such peculiar circumstances. Her husband followed her, and as soon asshe learned he was in the land of raisins she returned to her parents and once more acted with them in their efforts to have the marriage set aside. The only thing that then caused a hitch in the proceed- ings was the inability to locate the hus- band and serve him with the necessary papers. Up to ten days ngo the lawyers were still looking for Meadrick, and the unwill- ing wife was at home with her adopted parents. Seven days ago she duagpeared for the second time and the most_diligent search has failed to bring to light any trace of her. She knew the man less than an hour, and was with him only fifteen minutes before she regained her normal condition and left him. Her family was so distracted when seen vesterday that they could give no informa- tion bheyond that already recited. They had no idea where their daughter could be and adhered strongly to the belief that her husband had gained possession of herin some way and was keeping her in hiding. T0 DRAIN THE MARSH. Southern Pacific to Have a Three-Inch Main Laid to Carry off the Stag- . nant Water. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company has finally decided to drain the Mission Bay marsh about which so many com- plaints have recently been made by resi- dents of the Potrero to Health Officer Love- lace. Since Dr. Emmett L. Wemple made his complaint to the Health Officer of the prevalence of malaria and typhoid fever due to the gases arising from the marsh Inspector A. E. Kinne has been at work endeavoring to persuade the railroad com- pany to do something in the direction of draining it. He was assured by John H. Wallace, an assistant engineer in the maintenance of way department of the company, yesterday. that a three-inch main would "soon be lai just beyond the channel at the first ware- ouse to carry off the stagnant water. A man would be stationed there also, | said Mr. Wallace, to see that the full bene- fit of the ebband flow of the tide was re- ceived by the marsh, so as to let in the salt water from the bay whenever possible, and in that manner serve to flush the marsh. The work will be commenced in a few days. The area covered by the marsh at resent is bounded by Channel, Kentucky, sighth and Santa Clara streets. A year ago a vigorous effort was made by Potrero property-owners to have the City declare The Board of Health then had under consideration a plan for its fill- ing in by having sand pumped into it. This would have cost about $300,000. e ————— An Accidental Drowning. The remains of Thomas Clancy, a carpenter, were recovered from the bay late yesterday afternoon. He was about 50 years of age and lived at 525 Howard street. Late Friday night he was seen around his residence and com- plained of insornia. About 1 A. M. he was scen near Mission-street wharf and must have He was very The Rev. Fatner Clancy was his cousiu. Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn feel very grate- ful to the public for the confidence with which it accepts and responds to their printed utterances. Their many years’ experience in treating all forms of catarrhal and kindred chronic diseases entitles them to speak au- thoritatively on the subject, and it is particu- larly pleasing to feel that the public appre- ciates and acknowledges this fact. Drs Copeland, Neal and Winn desire to call attention to the fact that as winter approaches now is undoubtedly the time to treat catarrh. Now we have nature to assist us in the treat- meunt instead of retarding it. A month’s treat- ment now will go & long way towara warding off the colds which make life miserab e for the catarrhal sufferer in the winter. Place your- self under treatment now, a few months hence may be too late. THE NEW TREATMUNT. A cordial_invitation is extended by Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn to all their friends and patients, old as well as new, to call and test the new treatment. It has passed thestage of experiment and has been demonstrated a complete success, particularly in those cases which have withstood the other and older methods of treatment. They have added %o their already complete offices the new appli- ances, and are ready to treat all those more stubborn cases which in the past have been thought incurable. It is to their financial in- terest, as well as their medical fame, to cure for one cured patient is worth many dollars of advertising. They have the best treatment and the new and direct meansof using it. WHAT IS CATARRH. Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn are frequently asked: “What is catarrh?” and “How can & perton tell when he has the disease?” Briefly, catarrh in this citmate is chiefly e result of neglected colds or a succession of colds, Begin- ning with naso pharyngenl irritation {that is, the cold first settles at the junction of the back part of the nose and upper portion of the throat) the catarrhalinfiammation rapidly ex- tends upward through the Eustachian tubes into the ears, causing: ; Buzzing, roaring, hissing or ringing sounds. The hearing is gradually impaired. The noises and &mguired hearing are always | worse in damp weather and when the patient has a cold. The ears often discharge. At_other times the ears are dry, itchy and filled with wax. Earache is a frequent especially in children. ontinuing its course upward, the catarrhal inflammation extends through the lachrymal ducts into the conjunetival mucous membrane. The eye!ids become inflamed and red. They are also often glued together in the morning with a sticky, tenacious mucus. The eyesight becomes blurred and often im- accompaniment, alred. ¥ Axbright light causes intense pain. The eyes become weak and watery. Thereytl a deep-seated aching pain in the eyeballs. A dull pain often exists over region of eyes and in temples. The nostrils are frequently stopped up, first one side and then the other. There are little swellings noticed in the nos- trils, making breathing often difficult. These swellings are aggravated by damp weather. These swellings are also aggravated when the patient has & cold. The nostrils often discharge mucus, which varies in character. Sometimes this mucus is slimy and drops back into the throat. At other times it is tough and tenacious and requires considerable blowing and snuffing back into the throat to dislodge. 'A feeling of tightness is often noticed over the bridge of the nose. Extending downward from its naso-pharyn- geal origin, the throat becomes uflecm{ The mouth and throat in morning are filled with mucus. % Sometimes this mucus is jellv-iike in appear- ance, causing considerable hawking and spit ting to dislodge. At times the mucus isso tough and tenacious that gagging and even nausea and vomiting result from efforts to dislodge it. At other times the mucs is slimy in nature, and is dislodged without difficulty. ‘The above symotoms are those’ of moist or discharging catarrh. In the dry condition there is & tickling or scratehy feeling in the throat. ‘This canses & tickling, spasmodic or hacking b, “Ifiere 1s & bad taste in the mouth in the morning. NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE TREATMENT, The $5 a Month Rate Remains the Only Charge, In- cluding Necessary Medicines. Be Treated Now Before the Wet Winter Weather Makes a Cure More Difficult—The New Treatment Is a Pronounced Success. The tongue is usually badly coated. The breath is often foul. There is pain and stiffness in back of neck. Extending down the esophageal mucous membrane, the stomach, and later the bowels, become affected. The appetite is abnormal; it may be lost, in- creased or perverted. There isa weight, dull pain and a sense of ?Ill&llng in the pit of the stomach after taking 00d. This is accompanied by flatulence and heart- burning. Alternate constipation or diarrhea. A dull headache, languor, depression of spir- its and irritablity of temper. A bitter taste in the month. The tongue is coated and breath foul. Pain at the heart, accompanied by palpita- tion and shortness of breath, making the pa- tient think he has heart disease. Again, there is a short, dry cough and occa- sional paroxysms of an asthmatic character. The skin becomes sailow, dry and rough and various eruptions appear, S0 it is seen that catarrh causes a long train of symptoms but little understood and appre- ciated by the average physician, beczuse he comes in” contact with so few patients. From an experience of many years in treating an average of 100 patients daily, Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn feel that they are justified in claiming that caterrh affects the whole system, the eyes, ears, nose, throat, bronchial tubes. lungs, stomach, bowels, kidneys, liver, bladder, <o feel justified in claiming that their new system of treatment, consisting of local |- medication combined with administration of medicine internally, is the only rational method of cure. In this they aré certainly sus- tained by the hundreds of testimonials from reputable citizens which have been published during the pust four years. THEIR CRt DENTIALS. Dr. W. H.
