Twenty Knot Steamers Show Fewer than Feasible
A July 1 1902 report from the Commissioner's table based on Lloyd's Register reveals only twenty steamers worldwide over 2000 gross tons with sustained speeds of twenty knots or more. Nations vary, with Britain holding 7 entries, Germany 5, the United States 4, France 2, and Russia 2, while overall numbers decline beyond 14 knots. The analysis notes limited commercial incentive for very high speed ships and highlights Britain’s majority share of 664 steamers, followed by Germany 127, France 116, and the United States 108, as Japanese vessels trail.

Talking electric light by Guthe in Michigan lab
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports assistant professor K E Guthe in the Michigan Physical Laboratory designed a talking electric light as a practical advance in science. The device uses a telephone at one end and a large arc lamp at the other to regulate sputtering and reproduce human voice vibrations, improving over the earlier singing arc toy.
