Ericsson SUBMARINE 1895 POUNDS

It is believed by those who have
studied the subject that electricity
offers resources of great value for such
a moment of national need, and that
six of it's weapons alone might prove
adequate. These six are submarine
mines, dynamite guns, dirgibie torPe-
does, trolley forts. disappearing boats,
and navigation balloons. All of these
can be readily operated from the Long
Island or New Jersey shores. so that,
to begin with. the invader would be
held off at more than arms length.
Submarine mines are simply anchored
and submerged torpedoes controlled at
practically any distance from shore by
electrical apparatus. which sends the
current through the wire, and fires the
fuse or effects release. The operator
on land, guided by various methods,
discharges the mine at the right mo-
ment; and there are also electrical
methods which cause the simultaneous
discharge of guns trained upon the
same spots as those at which the mines
are situated. The shores and waters

suited to this system of defense, and it
would not be very expensive to provide
mines enough to blow sky-high even as
large fleet as that which gathered last
year TO see the international yacht
races.
There is no good reason why sub
merged forts should not take the place
of the mines, or supplement them, and
the guns therein be fired electrically
from shore, miles away. 1t has already
been demonstrated that an Ericsson
submarine gun will fire projectilc no
less than 600 feet under water, and hit
a vessel so feet long, from a depth of
% feet.
My next item is dynamite guns. The
shells from these terrible weapons car
ny small electric battery, and thus
the explosion of the deadly charge is
regulated, although the gunners are
quite safe. Hitherto the range of
dynamiters has been comparatively
limited, but it is certainly capable OF in
crease, with an increase also in the
quantity of the charge. 1t must be
remembered, too, that the shell does
not have to strike its mark in order to
be effective. The explosion is the
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1896-03-03

we know the distance of the vessel
! from us, and in what direction she is
moving, or, in brief, where she is;
otherwise we cannot train and elevate
the guns so as to make the shot and
, she'll go to their target. Hence, as
soon rs the invading fleet appears on
the horizon, the observers on the shores
] will direct upon it their electric range
and position finders, and the position
finders will show the location of the
vessel upon chart representing the
harbor and outlying waters, and win
indicate their direction and speed of
movement. Then the mortars can be
accurately placed and win begin to toss
sleyward their hail of shells AS the
ships draw near (their bearings hav-
ing been got). the range finders will
measure their distance every few Sec
onds, and the high-power guns will
open fire with their armor-piercing
steel shells. If the great armor-clads
Withstand this unscathed, and come
still nearer, the curious coughs of the
dynamite guns will begin. The huge
tubes will be trained by instantly work
ing electric motors; the odd cigar
shaped proiectiles will soar slowly into
the air, carrying certain destruction to
any vessel which one of them may
hit, or, if failing to strike, hurting
aloft great geysers of foam. There is
no delay in this firing; not only will
the electric motors quickly move the
guns responsive 20 n touch, but the
propelling charges of the powder guns
will be ignited by the pressing of the
button controlling the electric primers,
and the electric fuses in the shells filed
with nitro-gelatine or gun cotton will
detonate them the instant the ship
is struck or the moment after sub
mersion.
But perhaps the attacking vessels are
pouring in a return fire, silencing the
batteries, so that the long line of ships
begins to enter the channel. Now, a
dozen or more of lean. long-pointed
crafts moving under the water draw
away from the shore. No human be-
ing is on them. Some are driven by
electric engines, supplied with current
by wires leading to dynamos on the
land; others are propelled by carbonic
acid gas, and are only steered by cleo
tricity through cables which they lay
behind them as they move. They will
run at high speed for miles. Any one
of them touching ship lnfallibly sinks

ITSELF close to the land suddenly disep-
pears, and the sea is scarcely troubled
by the swift progress beneath 1t of the
Holland submarine boat, so feet in
length, a warship in herself, driven by
electric motors, and rushing unseen to
the attack, delivering torpedo after tor
pedo, or finally crashing her ram into
the enemy's unguarded ribs, far below
the water line.
Meanwhile the position finders on the
harbor forts are showing simultaneous
ly to the whole Gordon of Notifications
the exact location of the ships upon
which the fire of all the batteries is nov
concentrated. If smoke cuts off the
view from one battery, another may
have clear sight, and the telegraph con-
veys knowledge of the exact position of
the ships from those who can see to
those who cannot.
AS the vessels penetrate the outer har-
Dor new difficulties confront them.
The whole roadstead is planted with
submarine mines, placed at exactly
designated places. A system of cleo
trio wires connects these with the gov
erning switchboard and electric bat
teries in the forts. They are so placed
that ships going through the channels
must pass over them.
When the position finder shows that
vessel is finally in the tolls, the OBJ
server in some far-distant bomb-proof
touches key, and the hidden volcano
is set loose. Nor does the blackness of
night serve as shield. The powerful
beams of a dozen electric searchlights
may be converged upon the vessel, so
that every mast and every rope stands
out like silver.

ty, through its military applications,

able engines some day with the aid of
electricity. But intentions will not
stop iron-clads, nor will even such in
adequate progress as we have made to-
ward realizing them be of much use,
even If it's results were all Immediately
available. The point is not whether
we can prepare in some period of time,
but whether we are ready now.
We may assume that our harbors
have been surveyed, that the places for
sunken torpedoes and position finders
pad switch boxes have been determined,
that we have selected the kinds of tor
pedoes to be used, and have systema-
tiled the handling of them down to
the last tactical detail; so also we may
know that we have factories which can
build searchlights-non better-and
workshops where dynamite guns, and
electric motors, and fish torpedoes, and
submarine boats, and position finders,
and dynamos can be constructed. Like
wise, it is true that we have men skilled
in using every type of electric appli-
ances eager and ready to handle these
things. But all this does not alter the
fact that we have made neither the
things themselves to any adequate ex-
tent, nor have drilled and educated the
large number of men required to use
them in the places and for the purposes
for which they are intended.
The mines are not planted in our
harbors, nor are the torpedoes in any
sufficient numbers yet constructed. TO
put them in position, to lay and just
their complicated network of cables is
a long and difficult proceeding. We
have no dozen of fish torpedoes to let
slip all at once; the submarine boat is
still unfinished; the electric nerves are
in but very few of our war ships; the
turning of turrets by electric motors is
still a matter of isolated experiment;

A French boat Of this aclass has re-
manned under water with two men
eight hours at depth of SO feet. The
American Baker boat of 10 tons has re-
manned sealed up, on the surface and
below it 2A hours, and travels on an
even keel far under water, turning
readily right or left. The only trouble
in this work is the difficulty of seeing
very far ahead below the water, but
these boats would be able to do con-
siderable damage and often escape UNI
seen. The use of storage batteries en-
ables them 20 travel silently on the sur
face until near their mark, and recent
experience has shown that even an or
binary torpedo boat can get over the
danger line before her big opponent is
aware of it.
