va TII Florence, it is quality not quantity: her quiet voice bespeaks that fact. It was a blessed breeze on March 3. 1891. which ushered in the news of Florence’s arrival. She spent her younger years here in Nappanee. When nearly ten years old she moved to Berrien Springs, Michigan, with her parents, but like Lula came back to Ik with us. She has l een one of us during our entire High School course, nor has she l een among the least. In love for the N. II. S. and “Naughty Nine”. Florence is hard to excell.

mg oul wlien going round a curve as would Ik expected by the law of centrifugal force. It Inclined to the Inside: and If a weight was put to the side « f tiie car. that side rose instead of sinking. Other locomotives of tills ty| e have l»een built since. The size of the gyroscopic wheels varies with the size of the locomotive. The advantages of the single rail system are that of the tremendous economy, the cost of steel being just one-half: and the present massive bridges would Ik discarded. For tem|M rary work, a single wire hawser stretched across a ravine or river is all that is necessary. It Is claimed that the swaying of this hawser will not disturb tlie Iwlance of the cars, and that the strongest wind will not blow them off. For permanent work a single row of piles with a rail on top will lie sufficient. With reduced friction in the mono-rail system, the cost for fuel will lie le» . Another advantage will Is that steam, oil. gas. or electricity may Ik used, as best will suit local conditions. The gyroscope has also lieen put to practical use on vessels. Soon the rock inn decks on a stormy ocean will lx a thing of the past. This has lx en found to lx true by experiments. It was first tried on a German torpedo boat by Dr. Otto Sclilfck. The dimensions of this tioat, which was controlled by a gyroscope whose wheel was .{ feet In diameter, were alio tit llu feet in length, and eleven feet in width, and it had a displacement of fifty-six tons. The success of this new discovery has attracted the attention of a firm In Kngland who has knight the right to build vessels with the gyroscope on. One can easily see what a smooth and level deck would mean on our kittle ships in time of war. Such are examples of our great men’s dally work. We might describe the new ly invented wireless telegraph which Is used now by all sea going vessels, and the experiments which are being made to use the same on moving trains: hut these are sufficient to show tlie wonderful realizations which can be attained only through the workings of science. s 12
