VOLTS Do NOT HARM PEOPLE.
1t Is the Amperage That Does the
Deadly Work.

Newspaper reporters, cop readers
and head writer's are in need of a pri-
mary education in electricity. Every
now and again the newspapers record
the death of somebody from the effect
of a given number of volts, or tell of
another'S wonderful survival after re-
ceiving the shock of many thousand
volts. Strange enough, in the news
paper accounts nobody is ever killed,
nor has a remarkable escape from am
pereS of electricity been chronicled, nor
is the damage often done by a current,
nor has anybody wen seen watts" fig
ure in the matter. The number of volts
in a current of electricity is its speed
or pressure. The number of amperes is
i1s volume. Volts without ampereS
would be speed without substance.
A light molecule moving with a
speed or voltage of 1S5, 900 miles per
second strikes the eye without injury,
but if the molecule had a weight or
amperage of one two-thousandth part
of a grain it would ave the same effect
as an ounce ball moving LOCO feet per
second. Any number of "amperes"
without voltage would be a dead engine
in a roundhouse.
An article in a New York paper was
headed, Not Killed by 1000 Volts"
1t told of a boy who had become locally
famous because 1000 volts of electric
ity had passed through Joe's body with
out killing him" Without the am
perage of the current being known the
statement means nothing. Another story
of escape from electricity was headed,
Shocked by 1850 Volts"
The electrical current used in the Ed
ison microscope has a minute fraction
of an ampere, but an almost incalcula-
BILE voltage of perhaps above $50, 900.
To receive these $50, 900 volts in the
body would feel like the prick of a
needle.
At the state penitentiary the victims
of the law are given about 1880 volts
OF electricity, but it is the electrical en-
ergy, as expressed in watts, that kills.
The amperes multiplied by the volts
give the energy of the current, or watts.
He who would caress a live wire
need care nothing for the volts or am
peres 1T may have concealed about its
person, but let him carefully calculate
its watts before he grabs hold.-New
York Mail and Express.

such a boat was a man named Bush
nell He made his boat, in what is now
the state of Maine, for use in the Revo-
~lutionary war. Little came OF it.
Robert Fulton, however, supplemented
his efforts most ably and proved be-
yond a doubt that it was possible and
safe to go under water in a submarine
boat. He made a craft and took it to
Europe. In the early part of this cen
fury he showed it TO the great Ma
poleon. He and four other men went
down in the boat and came up safely
after a stay of -four hours. Napoleon
was said to have been much impressed
by the invention, but he was too busy
on land in those days to make use of
1t. Dozens of men have since worked
on the problem and France, Russia and
Turkey have built such boats, but none
OF the boats has been more than a.
partial success because none has had
the modern appliances that the Hol-
land boat will have. All submarine
boats have used compressed air for
breathing purposes. None so far has
had the diving rudders, drag and the
application of electricity from storage
batteries for motive power when sub
merged. Most of them have used the
"doWn-hauI' screws to secure INNER
sion and most Of them have secured
EMERSON by expelling water from
tanks through the agency of COM
pressed air. This method of coming IN
the surface is too violent and ierky.
1t has not ensured absolute freedom
from observation by the enemy. A
board of naval officers was appointed
in this country to draw up a report SET
ting forth the requirements for a safis-
! factory submarine boat. Mr.. Holland
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-30

met all these requirements in his de-
signs and inventions except in one
minor point. He showed thai that
point was of little consequence and, all
the technicalities having been swept
away, an appropriation was made for
the craft. The reasonable certainty
that it would be successful caused
congress recently to appropriate money
for two more such vessels, provided the
one now under construction should
prove its success.
1t is for this reason especially that a
prolonged and thorough test of the
craft will be made. That test will hard
ly come before next summer. The YES
sci will be launched this fall and finish
ed during the winter. By sprlngtIme
she will be ready for service and then
will come the careful instruction Of
the naval officers and their resultant
experiments. If the BOAT shall &C
complish all hal it is expected to
accomplish the United States will be
practically safe from attack by any
other nation by water. No fleet would
dare approach a harbor with the pos
sibility hat a submarine boat would
steal out and destroy even the least
formidable of it's fleet by the use of one
of its five torpedoes. The Holland boat
will carry no other weapon than tor
pedoes. 1t needs no guns for self pro-
lection. 1t has an armored deck one
inch thick for stray shots from small
guns when it is running on the sur
face. It's turret coming tower has
eight inches Of armor and would be
practically inVulnerable, except to the
heaviest shots, should the captain OF
the submarine boat decide to show
himself and remain only partly sub
merged until he is close, say within a
few hundred yards, to his antagonist.
But this plan of fighting would not be
used except in time Of great emery
ency.
The theoretical way of fighting with
such a craft is to approach the enemy
with a series of dives. When within
range sufficiently close for detection,
OF account of size, it is proposed to
sink the submarine boat partly and
run awash. In hat condition only the
coming tower and the smoke stack
will appear above the water. When
the boat gets close enough to make
these conspicuous the plan is to sink
the boat a few feet under water and
make observations by means of the
mirror. Then when it gets close to its
antagonist the course will be set, the
BOAT take a sharp dive and proceed
slowly, under electric power, at a
depth of about twenty-five feet. AS
soon as the darkened condition of the
water shows that the submarine craft
is under or near the antagonist, one
of the torpedoes will be discharged,
the submarine boat will dart away,
and, If the torpedo is successful in its
work, the antagonist will give a lurch,
and, with a shrek of Kissing steam,
will disappear. The power of tor
pedoes to accomplish such a result has
had had ample confirmation in the last
ten years. The man-of-war has not
been built that can Withstand the at

THE HOLLAND SUBMARINE BOAT WHILE CRUISING.
THE HOLLAND SUBMARINE BOAT CoMPLETELY sUDMERGED.

go down, bow first, at a gentle incline.
She is supposed to be able to withstand
the pressure of the water at a depth
of seventy feet, but il is probable that
she will never have to go below forty
ii feet.
A guage will tell the captain how far
down he has gore and at the proper
time he will straighten out tbs diving
rudders. The task now is to keep the
vessel at a required depth whether in
motion or at rest. The buoyancy is re
duced 10 375 pounds. With the boat
submerged in motion, the twin screws
of the steam apparatus are not used,
but a single screw operated by the
storage electric batteries does the work.
All that will be necessary to keep the
vessel ar a certain depth there viii be
to tilt the diving rl6ders at a very lit
tie incline, so as to overcome the en-
dency to come to the top. The captain,
however, will have to watch his guage
all the time and make constant corTec-
lions as the depth varies. With the
boat lying AT rest, but not AT anchor,
the diving rudder cannot be used to
maintain a uniform depth. The down
haul' screws at bow and stern must
the1, be put into plsy and their speed
Of operation regulated so that the boat
shall remain practically stationary,
moving horizontally only with the tide
on current, but not vertically. 1t will
require considerable practice to be able
to hold the boat at one depth and then
at another, the change to be made with
despatch at a given signal
There are two ways OF coming to the
surface. One is abrupt and the other
is gradual The abrupt way is by ex-
peiling the water from the ballast

ASLEEP ON HER. WHEEL.
Ride of a Fair Somnambu1ist CIat
in n Night Robe.

Rid of a Fair Somnambulist Clad
in n Night Robe.
Cropsy Avenue, Bath Beach, was dot
ted with the lights of bicycle lamps
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, when
from toward Bensonhurst appeared a
form in white, gliding gracefully along
on a wheel. Directly behind the spectre
followed half q hundred riders.
The rider was a handsome young wo-
man not more than 10 years of age,
with a face that was a picture. For a
background, luxuriant brown, wavy
hair reached down her back to the
waist. The mysterious pedalier was
attired in a single garment of white.
She evidently knew the road by heart,
for-and the truth was quickly whisper
ed-the fair creature was asleep.
AT Twenty-firSt avenue the sleeping
rider turned around and started back.
At Twenty-seventh avenue her wheel
struck q stone and she was thrown to
the ground. The shock awoke her. For
a monent she gaZed about her in a
dazed manner. In a moment she real
lied her position and began to sos.
Some of the women riders shared their
petticoats with her and the men were
told to go back to Bath Beach.
The sleep-rider and her two new
found friends rode on to Bensonhurst,
where she became hysterical, and DR..
De Muno Of TWenty-Second avenue.

that he was attending the somnambu-
list, but declined to give e name
