TRAVELS UNDER WATER.
Wisconsin Man Perfects Sub Marine Vessel.
Three Hours in the Deep.

Richard Raddatz, of Oshkosh, Wis.
went down in the water of Lake Win
rebago Tuesday afternoon in his sub
marine boat. His companion on the
trip was William II. Engelbrght, pro-
prietor of the fremont house. They
re mained under the surface of the lake
three hours and when they came to the
top Raddatz let out enough surplus air
to have lasted three hours more.
The trip was made more for the pur-
pose of testing the air supply facilities
of the submarine craft than anything
else. The test was success, the voy-
age under water being made without
a hitch.
Radditz declared after the trip that
the sale of his invention has been
made. He declines to give names or
price.
During the three hours the boat was
down Mr.. Engelbright declares the at
mosphere within the steel double cone
was pure and wholesome all the time.
A descent was made ito the depth OF
eleven feet. The boat was not moved
about much, as the water was SO dense
ard murky. Radditz says II Is much
harder to see under the surface in the
fall than at any other season of the
year, and Mr.. Engelbright admits that
though he stood up in the turret and
peered out through the glass globes he
could not see much. MT. Engelbright
says he was comfortable in mind and
body all the time, save that his feet
got cold toward the last. So steady
was the motion of the boat that the
voyager can hardly distinguish that 1t
is going up or down or even at all.
With the hull of the boat submerged,
merely the turret protruding, the vessel
Travelled at fourteen mile an hour

Gordon Highlanders Make Brilliant Ad.
vance Against the Insurgents in India

The full details of the taking of Dar-
gal Ridge on October 20, by the Cor
don Highlanders have just reached
London, and make one of the brilliant
passages in British military history. A
part of the Ghurkar regiment had ad-
vanced toward the summit and were
cut off from their comrades. whose ef-
forts to reinforce them were vain.
Finally. after a brief address to his
men, Captain Matthias rode out at the
head of his gallant Highlanders, and
repeated the charge of the light bri-
gade. They advanced straight up the
bare rock frontage, under the wither-
ing fire of the insurgents. while the
pipers played the Cock of the North"
When Piper Findlater was shot
through both legs, he propped himself
up against stone and went on playing
the Cock of the North" to his ad-
vancing comrades. Other commands
followed the Highlanders, and the ridge
was taken in the first charge. Piper
Findlater has been recommended for
the Victoria cross.
