SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOAT.
A Test Made which shows that Il Can be
Easily Nasigsted.

George c. Baker Of Detroit has demon.
.traicd that water can be nayiga,cd at any
reasonable depth below the surface. A final
test Of his submarine boat, upon which he has
been at work since December IS, 1880, was
made In the river Rouge. five miles from De-
troit and was entirely satisfactory to the In
| vcn,or. The river Is only sixteen feet deep,
which admits Of the boat being submerged
two feet. 1t was run up and down and across
tho stream several times, turning, sinking
and rising at the pilots pleasure without ac-
cidcnt.
The boat is cgar-shapcd, made Of oak, the
.hcll being 10 feet long. IL feet high, 0 feet
wide amidships, and inches thick. The mo-
tive power is storage battery OF 2GO cells,
which Is believed to be the largest ever made
This also generates light.
The course Of the boat Is directed by pilot
who stands in small coming tower which
Is provided with small lookout holes, It "a
necessary In taking bearings to rise TO the
surface, but in so doing only n few inches OF
the top Of the tower appears above the surface
With the coming tower sealed the Interior Of
the boat contains 1890 cubic feet of air. Tho
wheels arc on each side, midway between bow
and stern and one foot below the center line.
The boat is raised by letting water into the
hold, and by DETECTING the side wheels.
Mr.. Baker is confident that this torpedo
will eventually revolutionizc present methods
Of naval warfare.
