Show I HI1 Dearie by Electricity j Tho now Whito Star liner Baltic, now being built on tho other side, Is to bo equipped with nt least forty-seven forty-seven flow electrical "wrinkles" for her navigation, reducing perils of tho tica, nntl for preparing food, says tho Now York World. Sho will mako her first trip next summer. Ono or tho novelties Is nn electric griddle cako and wafllo range. Th automatic egg boilers, llko thoso on the Oceanic, aro designed to cook 200 ot;gs nt once, a clock arrangement causing tho basket containing tho eggs to hop out of tho water at any half-minuto up to six minutes. Another novelty is a self dumping oyster cooker for stows. At the termination ter-mination of a given tlmo the cooker pours Its savory contents Into a soup plato and automatically shuts off tho electricity. Thero aro electric oyster and toast rangos, coffeo urns, self-feed'ng self-feed'ng tea and chocolate urns, c:real boilers, Ice breakers, butter cutters, almond nnd coconnut graters.

Epicures say that meat cooked on electrical boilers has a metallic taste. The Baltic Is to havo an el"ctrlc laundry. It Is a tribute to American Ingenuity Ingenu-ity that this English and Irish built ship must hao nearly ull her electrical elec-trical equipment manufactured In this country. Ono of tho most marvelous electrical electri-cal contrivances Is that for preventing collisions. Tho moment another Bhlp enters the "magnetic field" of tho Baltic Bal-tic the ncctllo of the Instrument points toward tho vcs3p1 that - aprrnachlng or bclnc; overtaken. L'na tho rythmic ryth-mic beats of an unseen steamer's screws aro registered by means of tho dellcato apparatus. Another safcwnl is nn electric contrivance to show If tho ship's lights aro burning properly. An cl3ctric log for ascertaining tho speed of tho ship and nn electric lead lor ascertaining the depth cf tho water uro also on tho list. Another electric novelty registers all signals, Including Includ-ing Bteam pyrens, a record that might prove of great aluo In a trial of a maritlrco caso In court, Hefrlgsratlng chambers aro to bo chlllod by electricity; there will bo oxtra electric steering apparatus, In-dependent In-dependent of htsam, hand and hydraulic hydrau-lic appllancas; , electric devices for closing bulkhead doors automatically and tho most powerful soarchllEhts. |
