I read of Na-Dru-Co, Dyspepsia Ifablets, and a lady friend told me they were very easy to take, so I thought I would give them a trial and really they worked wonders.

Such an inference is erron- eous, however, for the depth exercises an impertant influence. The British cruis- ers Blake and 331onheim were expected to run twenty -ono knots, but actually ran twoknots less In shallow water. They ran again under thesa,rne power, but the depth was between 155 and 165 feet anut their speed was 22 knots—one knot over the maximum calculation. The differ- ence in speed is attributed to the influ- ence of the "wave of translation" dis- placed by the ship as she moves forward, whicth acts as a brake. The neat•ez• the shIp'e keol to the bottom the stronger the friction. A ehip drawing twenty-seven feet of water (say a ship of 12,000 ton- nage) feels that friction over a depth of MO feet. According to sosne ealcula- tions, the dragging influence cease» to be felt at a depth equal to ten and one-half times the draught if the ship stands high 011t of the water. A curious feature of the matter Is that the speed of the ship is as important an eleinent as the depth of water—that is to say, the influence of the depth on the ship's speed Is inoiv or less powerful in proportion as the speed is great. .4e ship increases her speed more easily over deep water, but on the other hand the faster a ship rune the more depth of water she needs to prevent the hindrance caused by the dragging influence of the friction which is always felt when tho ship's keel senses bottom. Running ten knots an hour, a shipmusthave between twenty-six and twenty-seven feet of depth or she is dragged from below. lf running twenty knots she needs a depth of 104 or 306 feet, and -when running thir- ty knots she feels the drag over a depth of nearly 324 feet. 4"- 50 CENTS ER WEEK Puts An Organ or Piano in Your Home.
