arrangement made Of steel, wood, can
vas and leather and reinforced at
every possible point with a double
thickness of each material. 1t is cir
cular in form and held in position be-
tween two horizontal steel plates which
are connected by powerful screws.
When the air is forced into the drum,
it naturally expands and forces apart
the two steel plates, between which it
is held. After it has been COM
pletely filled with air the huge screws
which connect the rims Of the plates
are turned by the engines and by
screwing the two steel plates together
a powerful pressure is brought to bear,
and the air within the drum is forced
out through the pipes which lead to
the cylinder-like bags and the large
main pipe which forces the water from
the sunken hull. Automatic valves
prevent the air being forced back
through the pump.
When a. wreck is to be raised by this
method, the cargo, If there is any, is
first removed and a tug supplied with
air pump, bags and the rest of the
equipment, is sent to the place where
the ship went down and anchored a
little to one side, so as not to be direct
ly over the spot where the hull lies.
On the tug is carried a complete
divers outfit and when the boat comes
to anchor, the diver Is sent down to
the bottom to make the preliminary
arrangements for raising the wreck.
When the disaster has been occasion
ed by a collision or by striking a sub
merged reef and the ship has slid back
into deep water, there are holes in the
hull to be repaired before anything can
be done towards bringing the craft to
the surface.
1t is here that the large pieces Of can
vas which are a portion of the outfit,
are indispensable. With them the diver
patches as tightly as possible, the holes
in the hull and at the same time opens
all the matches of the sunken ship and
makes fast within the hull the large
main pipes which connect with the huge
air drum on the tug.
That much being accomplished, the
next step toward the raising is to make
fast to the hull in the securest posi-
bic maner the numerous cylindrical
bags. These are sent down to the div
er, who. with chains, binds them along
the keel on either side. These bags
are connected by stout pipes with the
air pump above. and, when all are

made fast, the powerful machinery of
the tug connecting with the pump is
set in motion.
AS the bags gradually fill with air I'M

power on the hull which is not to be
resisted Gradually the huge frame is
completely turned over. and eventually
rests on the bottom of the sea. upside
down, the air in the bags being of sufti-
cient buoyancy to keep it in position
Meantime the large main pipes which
were first made fast inside the hull
have not been idle, and as the power
full and steady current of air is forced
through them into the hull the water
is gradually forced out, and light, buoy
ant air takes Misplace of the heavier
water. sE
AS the adr pressHTe increases, the hull
becomes ligh ter and rises toward the
surface. AirstbRing constantly forced
into the hull, and the bags strapped
along the keel, the pressure is main
tanned and the water kept out on exact
ly the same principle that it is kept
from filing the inverted cup held I'M
der water.
In addition to turning the hull up
side diwn before 1t is emptied of water,
the bags ranged along the keel also
serve the purpose of keeping the craft
in the proper position while 1t is be-
ing raised through the water.
Strange as it may appear, the proper
position for the craft during the proc
ess is keel up. Were this position not
maintained. the ship would naturally
right herself and again fill and sink
thus undoing all the work of the wreck
ers.
Once the ship Is at the surface. it Is
q comparatively easy matter to main
tain the air pressure while the hull is
towed to the nearest dry dock.
As long as the air pressure is main
tanned within the hull the ship can
not sink. and once in the dry dock it
is easy to right her and place her in
position to make the necessary repairs
BY the use Of the Gailard system, as
1t is called, of wreck-raising almost all
the disadvantages under which wreck
ers have heretofore labored are obvi-
ated. All of the hard and laborious
work is done by the air bags and the
air within the hull. There are no pom
derous cranes or derricks to be moved
about, and the very simplicity of the
whole arrangement Is what recon-
mends it most forcibiy to wreckers and
divers.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-03-07

nearly completed and the wreck was
almost at the surface, a slight leak
in one of the caissons would allow the
hull to sink back to the bottom and
the work would have to be done all
over again.
At such times Gaillard wished most
devoutly that some other means Of
wreck raising could be devised, but as
no one appeared to be able to produce
the much-longed for invention, he final
~ set about devising one himself.
AS a boy he had been familiar with
the principle by which, when an in
verted cup is forced beneath the surface
of the water, the air pressure within
the vessel keeps it dry and prevents
the water from filing it.
This was the first idea of the French
inventor, and it is the fundamental
principle Of the perfected Gaillard sys-
tenn of wreck raising.
Simple as is the method as applied
by the inventor, it took long months
to make the theory practicable. Both
time and money were required and
while he had almost too much Of the
former, there was a lamentabIe scarcity
of funds until a number of financially
solid wrecking companies became in
terested in the matter and furnished
Gaillard with the necessary capital
with which TO carry on his work
The result Of this work is simply a
number of waterproof bags made in
the shape Of huge cylinders or pipes:
long tubes which connect these bags
with a powerful air pump and some
stout pieces of canvas and chains.
That is the entire invention, COM
plete and ready for service, vet 1t rep

necessary before the persistent inven-
tor could go to those who had furnished

WHEAT AND SILVER.
Senator White on the Present
Condit;on.

SCiiCl.3 rtls
SAP Diego, Aug. 2l.-United States
Senator White, who has been in this
city for several DAYS, today submitted
for publication his views -" rhe re-
vival OF prosperity Throughout the
county. In reply to The question
What in your opinion, must be the
position OF the Democratic party cam
paign in the i'm mediate future?'' He
replied:
1.-The fact that bar silver has fallen
and that The price Of wheat has risen
cannot effect the true policy of the
Democratic party. While bilnetall-
lists have claimed tn at the fall in sill
yer, or, more correctly the apprecia-
ton OF gold, has effected prices, DO
defender of the double standard has
ever Intlnated that the price Of wheat
cannot be influenced by the extent Of
the crop. II the output of that COM
modify in 1897 shall be oDe-half or
one-tentil OF the usual supply, clearly
the dema I'd will he increased and the
article will go up. This variation of
rates refers solely to the extent of the
production l. does not mean tnat
wheat prices may not be Influenced
by other considerations.
while prevailing quotations hap
PLY show an npwar q tendency, | am
convinced that the prospect would be
much better and the farmer rewarded
accordingly if silver and gold were
treated with equal favor. A to the
market quotations of bar silver, I
have only to remark that the Demo-
cratic party commended throughout the
last campaign that Government acts
on silver affected the value Of that
article. That au adverse LEGISLATION
a deprecated it, so must favorable
legislation appreciate it. We conf
IDENTIFY claimed that the election OF
Bryan and a friendly Congress would
at once tend to Bring silver and gold
nearer the historical standard and
necessarily that the election of Nc
kinley would make the disparity
more and more evident.

down. Thus our views are sustained,
The u~nfortRnat9 circumstances which

audaclty OF those who demand shat

RELIEF FOR WHALERS.
A Reindeer Train will Go Overland to
Point Barrow.

A Reindeer Train Will Go Overland to
Point Barrow.
Washington, Nov. II. - Secretary
Alger has requested the secretary of the
interior to instruct Alaskan officials to
gather about 800 head of reindeer FROM
the government herds for use of an ex-
petition for the relief of the icebound
whalers in the Arctic.
It is expected that the Bear, which
is now at Seattle, will be ready to sail
in about 10 days, and within 20 days
thereafter will reach some point on the
northern sound, where a large party
will be engaged for the trip overland to
Point Barrow.
The herd of reindeer which will be
killed for food, if needed, will be driven
overland, and it is confidently expect
ed that the herd will reach Point Bar
row and the imprisoned whalers before
the middle of February.
The country through which the herd
will be driven is said to abound with
mess, upon which the herd will feed.
It is said the scheme for the relief of
the whalers is perfectly feasible and
will be attended with. little danger.
No apprehension is felt regarding the
outcome of the enterprise.

A Valuable Discovery.

New York, Nov. William A.
Eddy, the kite experimenter of Bay.
onne. N. j., made an interesting ex.
pertinent Saturday night. He is salts
fed that by means of observations
taken at various attitudes, indications
of approaching thunder storms and
other meteorological data can be Sc.
cured. About 200 feet below his kites
thermometer was hung, and near il
a collector of electric sparks. The re-
suits obtained Saturday night led Mr..
Eddy to believe that the electric con-
dition of the air shown by the varying
height Of the collector when the first
spark is drawn may reveal the approach
of storms in even cloudless sky. In
particular he thinks it will prove ad-
vantageous in determining the approach
Of local storms.
