DIVING TORPEDO BOAT.
Description of One Recently In
vented by ]. P. Holland
Should II Prove a Success, the United
States VIII Probably Purchase the
Exclusive Right to the Use
of the Invention.

While aeronauts, such as Chanute,
Langley, Maxim and others, are work.
ing together to solve the mysteries of
mechanical fight another body of sci
entists and engineers is trying to
fathom the science of submarine navi-
CATION. Every year one or more sub
marine boats are laid out on paper, and
some of them are actually built. A
few of the many models and diving
boats have been tested and found
practicable.
The latest candidate for govern
mental favor is the submarine torpedo
boat designed by ]. P. Holland, who has
been working ON submarine navigation
for quarter of century.
In 1887 he proved to the satisfaction
of the navy department of the United
States that his scheme was feasible, and
to-day a boat is being built after the
Holland design.
The vessel, says the Chicago Record,
is cigar-shaped, and is so feet long. It's
largest diameter is II feet, and it will
have triple expansion engines capable
of developing 1900 horse power. Steam,
electricity and compressed air will be
used in the boat The compressed air
will be for the use of the crew when
the vessel is submerged and for the
automobile torpedoes.
The electric current will be used for
power when the stored steam is used up
during a submerged period of naviga-
ton and for light. The smokestack is
OF the telescope order. When the YES
sci is above water, or "awash"-that is,
partially submerged, the smokestack
will be housed" and the opening her
lnetically sealed.
When the smokestack is completely
housed the residual pressure Of the
steam will drive the engines, for when
water under pressure is heated it gives
off steam for a considerable length Of
time. When this source of power gives
out the boat will fall back on the stor-
age batteries and electric motors.
When the vessel is floating on the sur
face, with it's hull well above the wa
ter, it makes 1874 knots an hour; when

screws. The submergion is~made in
two ways-by means of horizon tai I'D
ders, which will cause the boat TO dive
when they are inclined, and also by
screws, revolving in horizontal plane
at the bow and stern.
Resting on top of the smooth, cigar
shaped hull is an armored superstruc-
ture, which includes a coming tower.
From the center of this superstructure
rise the smokestack and air tube, both
of them telescope.
The boat will be able to sink 40 feet
below the surface of the water, and
the specifications require that when
diving it shall reach level of 20 feet
below the surface in one minute, and
when at rest it must be able to dive
to that depth within 30 seconds.
If the boat is moving forward the in
clination of the horizontal rudders at
the stern will cause it to dip and dive,
just as the old "Peacemaker" did.
If boat is floating motionless on the
wuter it can be submerged by the hori-
Eontal screws at the bow and stern. III
