THR!! MODERN IIOTXVE POWVKHI.
Modern scicnco has come to regard

Drstlmportance. The, steam is turned

struction For instance, to lifts very
heavy gun,an electric crane would be
used, to which the power is supplied by
slender copper wires from the dynamo-
housa, but in lifting the heaviest plates
of armour, which are capable of throwing
oifa dynamite shell almost the size ofa
man, the vvorkman calls upon the hy~
draulic energy. But the compressed vva-
ter mechanism is difiloult to carry any
long distance and is much more expen-
sive in operation. Alter the vessel ia
launched there are thousands of little
jobs in turning oifand shaving' steel, in
boring holes lor the smaller attachments
high up on the vessel, Here the. electric-
al machinery somee into play. While in-
comparably less powerful than the hy-
draulic apparatus, a workman' can carry_
his electric drill, hammer or riveter,climb
to any point on the vessel, and only needs
'to drag behind him intact the two slender
v`viree that run back to the whirling dy-
namos in the electric power-house.
Compressed? air is ih_e third motive
power. In putting _YVarshlps_ together
this keeps the middle groiinri between the
tremendous, but unwisldly hydraulic
force and the easily movable, but decid-
edly weaker, electric power. The com-
pressed air is sent _through rubber tubes
iu_ which wire has been woven into the
rubber covering. This can do jobs which
require an energy between that of the
hydraulic and the electric force. More
than that, pneumatic power has been
found to_be capable of a much more rapid
operation even than _the electric. lt is
with the compressed air that the mnglority
ofthe rivet! are ¢lriven‘~_into the battle-
ships, and the “thud, thud, thud" oi’ the
pneumatic rivetcr, going at full speed
comes in such rapid succession that the
ear can hardly distinguish any separate
stroke of the vibrazing hammers.
The pneumatic tools come largely into
playin the ilnlshlng oi! of the steel hull.
The electric curreutisespeelally valuable in
giving rotary power of enormous strength
This enables the wors man to operate
huge lathes that cnt through hardened
steel as casly as yellow pine, arid form
the fittings of every description. The
lighter h’ovvs of thc pneumatic tools are,
ofcourse, given at a pace quite Impossible
to the msn who handles the machine, and
at the same time furnish an .eveuess of
stroke and a soiter blow than would bo
possible for any human arm going at any
considerable rate of speed. l
