They are sewed, one overlapping the
other, all over jackets and hats, making
a very pretty feathery surface. This is
the decided novelty Of the season, and
has the great feature of not being as
expensive as ostrich tips. The bird
feathers are sewed on in reverse rows to
make them as full as possible.
Hats come already trimmed with
these feathers, and require for their
only decoration a group of plumes at
the side.

SAILS UNDER WATER.
RICHARD RAOOATZ'S SUCCESSFUL
SUBMARINE BOAT.

Young Inventor Of Oshkosh Seems tc
aeve Solved the Problem - Submarine
Navigation His Craft Runs BY EIeo-
tricity and Is Easily Managed.
) How to sail under water has been as
perplexing a problem as how to sail
through the air Alleged solutions Of
both have been announced from time to
time, but the fact remains that aerial
and submarine navigation are not in
Gulged in to any great extent.
The latest inventor to claim a perfect
ed submarine boat Is Richard Raddatz
Of Oshkosh, Wis, and so far his achieve
neLits in this line have been remark
able He has constructed boat which
has done more than any other subma-
rine craft ever built With one passen-
ger he has remained for three hours IN
der water without exhausting his air
supply, and he has apparently demon
gtrated his ability to control the move
ments of his boat with perfect ease and
exact nicely.
Thus far all the tests have been made
in Lake Winnebago, Fox river and 9th
er inland waters OF Wisconsin. but tho
boat has been shipped by rail to Mil
waukee and viii soon be tried ii the
deeper waters of Lake Michigan. The
new submarine boat. which is as yet
unnamed, is shaped like a long, thin
cigar. It is so feet 10 inches III length
and has a midship section of IS feet il
length which IS feet in diameter.
At each end of this midship section
rises a turret several feet high. The
hull Of the craft is Of armor steel five
sixreenths of an inch IN thickness At
the apex Of the tapering PROV is sharp
steel beak feet long. which gives it a
formidable appearance. Without ballast
the boat weighs %. 600 pounds.
The interior of the boat is far from
commodious, as only in the turrets can
man stand erect. For submarine nav
igation an electric motor, run by a 80
cell storage battery, furnishes the pow

er. Besides this IS a hot air engine
which burns kerosene as fuel. Both ara
connected with the propeller shaft by
friction clutches and may be used indie
pendently CT jointly. The hot air engine
is for use on the surface and for recharg-
ing the storage battery. With the cells
charged the inventor calculates that he
can run under water for ten hours at
the rate OF ten miles an hour. On the
surface be can make 1 miles an hour
with decks aUash and using only the
hot air engine. This IS a much better
performance than other submarine boats
have achieved. The kerosene tank has a
capacity Of two barrels, which allows
the craft to make voyage of two days
and a half without repIenishing the
fuel. The propeller is two bladed af-
fair which can be run at an average Of
500 revolutions a minute
The principle by which the boat is
steered, sunk and raised is a secret
which Mr.. Raddatz will not divuIge.
In managing the boat he sits in the
front turret Before him is the steering
wheel, and about him are numerous
buttons, switches and indicators He
denies that he uses lateral fms or rud-
ders or that he guides the boat upward
of a chamber. Men who have been down
with him say that not only is ne able to
raise or lower the boat at will, but that
he can run it under water on a level
keel at any depth.
just how he maintains his air supply
Is another of Mr.. Raddatz's secrets, but
maintain it he does In a general way
he says he accOmpIishes it by a renewal
of the oxygen by chemical action and an
absorption of the carbCnie acid gas by
caustic potash, caustic soda and lime.
Other inventors have tried to make air
by this method, but have failed.
To what use the boat will be put has
not been announced, but it IS believed
that it viii be used IN raising wrecks,
as il is fitted with hydraulic lock IL
the bottom through which diver may
either leave or enter the boat while IN
der water.
Inventor Raddatz is a tall, thin
young man of about %, who has the
thoughtful face of a student and the
grimy hands Of q mechanic He was
born. in Oshkosh and IS graduate of
the Wisconsin normal school By trade
he is a machinist, and at present is en-
pIoyed as mechanical craftsman IN
the AIlis Machine works, Milwaukee
Five years ago he read that the French
government had offered big reward to
the inventor Of q successful submarine
boat, and since then ne has been expert
menting- His first attempt resulted IN
the construction of a crude wooden af-
fair with side wheels. but 1t served TO
convince him that he had the right idea
Of submarine navigation. and through
many discouragements and failures he
kept quietly Pegging away until hs
emerged from MS seclusiOn to startle

prominent part IN the attempt to settle
the disturbed conditions existing be-

facturers treat her with the greatest Of

sister Is also employed IN the same

never worked in the mills, but has had
