four persons during eight and one-half
hours at a time without communica-
tion with the surface. 1t is presumed
that the oxygen is renewed by chemical
action and the carbonic acid gas alb
sorbed by caustic potash, caustic soda,
and lime. Persons who have expert
enced a submarine trip in the boat say
the only difference they detected be-
tween the manufactured atmosphere
and that ordinarily breathed is that
the former seemed fresher and cooler.
At the end of several hours during
which they were Theoretically sealed in
the craft they felt no unpleasant eff

Nearly equally important and vital
to the practical success of the boat are
the devices employed for raising and
sinking it, controlling its equilibrium
and maintaining it constantly on
level keel. All explanation of this ma
chinery is as carefully preserved in
secrecy as that by which the air is
produced and kept pure. although in
ventor Raddatz insists that no use has
been made for this purpose of the old
principles of taking in and pumping
out water when it is desired to sink or
raise the craft. The machinery is cap
able of controlling it at any depth de-
sired, limited only by the strength of
the shell necessary to withstand the
pressure of the water. The equilibrium
is so perfectly regulated and adjusted
that Mr.. Raddatz is able to maintain
his craft on an almost perfectly level
keel for nearly any length Of time. The
final tests showed that at a specified
depth during periods extending over an
hour. the variation from an absolutely
level keel was less than e-fourth of
an inch. In addition to these appl-
ances are others employed to adjust
the equilibrium and correct any insta.
bilty due to changing conditions with

A JOKE ON THE BAND.
There were times, as at Trevilion Sta
ton, when Custer ordered his band into
the thick of it and kept them footing,
and the idea was good one. At Get
tysburg, however, the band didn't come
in. Custer was after Lees trains and
Lees cavalry realized his plans and
were on hand to prevent. AS the scenes
shifted we found the Confederate cav
airy massing to have try at us. in
stead of keeping the defensive. A bat
terry came dashing up and opened on
them at long range. and following this
four regiments were lined up for a
charge. 1t was to be down across a
field, over a stone wall partly thrown
down, and then across a meadow for
forty rods. We were not above 1000
men altogether. and 1t looked as If we
We're going down against three times
our number. There was a period of
waiting, with overstrained men speak
ing in whispers and nervous horses
plunging or backing. We were hoping
to get the bugle and have it over with
when the members of the band began
climbing up on the roof of long shed
to our right. This shed was thatched
with straw, and the elevation would
give the spectators a splendid view of
the charge. The "tooters" had Just got
fairly seated on the thatch when the
Confederates opened on us with a single
gun. The first shot went over our
heads. but the second struck the shed
just at the caves and went through it
with crash. AS II passed out on the
far side it drew a wisp of straw after
it ten feet long.

tests Of which are still pending. 1t Will
be a matter of general surprise, how
ever, when it becomes known that
while work on these two boats has been
slowly going on, it has remained for a
young western inventor to demonstrate
on the fresh water of land-lockeo
Wisconsin lake, remote from maritime
and naval activity and interest, that a
practical solution of the problem OF
submarine navigation is already with
in reach.
Richard Raddatz is the name OF the
inventor of this remarkable craft which
has stood all tests of practical nav1ga-
tion and control under the water With
in such limits as are imposed. prln-
cipally by the strength of the shell and
power of the machinery. He is me-
chanical engineer in the employ or the
most extensive foundry and engine
manufacturing company in the West,
located at Milwaukee. His experiments
in submarine navigation have extended
over u period of twelve years, conduct
ed. principally, at Oshkosh, Wis, or
Lake Winnebago, a sheet OF water
about forty miles long.
The measure of the success OF the
Raddatz submarine boat lies in the fact
that up to the present time three hun
dred and thirty trips beneath the sur
face have been made. and between
sixty and eighty persons have been
taken down to observe the complete
control of the craft After the first
fifty descents all were practically sue
cessful and without accident.
The Raddatz boat as 1t lies housed
at present in winter quarters on the
shore of Lake Winnebago. waiting for
the opening of navigation in Lake
Michigan, when it will be taken to Mil

During the first year of the war the
commander Of every Federal regiment
felt it to be his solemn duty to deliver
patriotic addresses on every possible
occasion. We had them at dress pa
rade, when fifty miles from the front.
and we had them while waiting in line
of battle Our Colonel chucked Bunker
Hill, Lexington, General Washington
and other patriotic things at us until
we got very tired of his talk, and there
was universal rejoicing when the end
finally came. My regiment was ordered
out one day for a reconnaissance. There
wasn't a Confederate within twelve
miles of the brigade camp, and most of
us knew that it was simply a march to
Test our endurance, but before we left
camp the Colonel got off that same old
speech We We're going to meet the
enemy, he said, and he looked for every
man to fight to the last gasp and then
die with hip-hurrah. for the glorious
o.. star-spangled banner. Away we
marched, singing John Brown" and
aching to yield up our lives, and after
about two hours reached crossroads.
Scouts had reported the enemy near at
hand, and gave his force at 10000
There wasn't the slightest doubt in our
Colonels mind that he could lick 10000
men with his 1000, and we were speed
lily drawn up in battle array. AS we got
into line we heard mule braying on
the crossroads, and the Colonel rode
out in front of the line, waved his
sword three times around his head, and
began:
Soldiers and patriotsl The enemy is
upon us He outnumbers us ten to
one and Is fighting on his own SOIL but
in our veins runs the blood of the men
who died to create this Republic, and
we will win a great victory or die"
At that moment a scout who had
been sent up the cross-road to take
another look at the enemy came down
the road and along our front. leading
an old, one-eyed, bob tailed mule which
had been turned out to die. Stopping
in front of the Colonel the man saluted

derstood in this connection that the
surface speed IL capable of increase
to any practical limit by the expendi-
ture OF additional power: likewise the
speed below the surface is limited only
by similar conditions. although the
very fact of the medium in which the
boat operates imposes probable limit
Of ten miles an hour on submarine
navigation for successful inshore work.
In other words. when there is danger
of running aground or encountering
other obstacles the speed of the craft
depends upon the means afforded and
the ability of the operator to see
through the water ahead of him and
avoid any dangerous obstacles which
may lie in his path.
The three most important principles
involved in the construction and opera
ton of the boat are kept secret and are
known only to inventor Raddatz and
the few men who have been interested
In his experiments. These have to do
with the manufacture and publication
of the air supply. the devices invented
for sinking and raising the craft and
the mechanism by which under all con-
ditions it is kept upon an absolutely
level keel. 1t has already been stated
that, as yet, no recourse has been made
to patents for protection. hence the
jealous care with which ali information
regarding these important principles is
guarded.
The most important of these prin-
ciples is that affecting the air supply
The craft is supplied with reservoirs
and appliances which produce a me-

mosphere sufficient to permit its sub
mersion with two men on board for a
period of twenty-eght or thirty hours.

The boat is furnished with two in
dependent sets of machinery, one for
surface and the other for submarine
use. The surface machinery consists
of a modified hot air engine of fifty
horse power, with cylinder nine and
one-half inches in diameter and
eighteen inches in stroke, having a
maximum piston speed of about one
thousand feet a minute, driving the
propeller at speed of about three
hundred and fifty revolutions. Even
at this comparatively high piston
speed the engine runs without exces-
sive jar or jerk. The primary source of
power developed by this engine de-
pends upon a fuel of ordinary kerosene
or coal oil.
For submarine use a set of electric
machinery and storage batteries is pro-
vided, the motor developing about ten
horse power at full speed and depend
ing for power upon the chemical energy
stored in the accumulators, which, in
turn, depend upon the hot air engine
for their life. This latter depends up
on kerosene oil for the power developed
by it, the charging of the accumulat-
ors being accomplished when the boat
is at the surface. The storage capacity
of the accumulators is sufficient for
cruise of about ten hours beneath the
surface. Thus it will be seen that the
primary source of all power depends
upon the amount of oil carried. The
advantage of coal oil for fuel lies In
the fact that it can be easily obtained
in almost any part Of the world.
The electrical submarine motors have
propelled the craft when entirely sub
merged at speed of two and one
half miles an hour for a period of five
hours. during which no communication
with the surface was found necessary.
The hot-air engine for surface use has
propelled the boat at a speed of four
teen miles an hour during a period of
fourteen hours. although the average
rate of surface speed is about eight
miles an hour which the craft can
maintain indefinitely. 1t is to be un-

of a hero, but when life refused to
throw up it's Job he got up and shook
himself and rode back to camp on the
wagon. The rank and file never for
gave an officer for such slip. Before
night the Company poet had written a
song entitled "Nellie's Broken Heart"
and a hundred men were singing 1t.
Inside Of thirty days we had sung the
lieutenant out of service. and years
later, when he was running for polit-
ical office. the incident held him up to
ridicule and defeat.
The enemy had an outpost at log
house half a mile In our front, and were
so annoying with their sharp-shooters
that it was determined to capture the
place and hold 1t long enough to burn
down the house. Forty of US were de-
tailed under command Of captain,
and one dark night we set out through
the woods. The object was to get as
close as possible before we rushed. and
presently we were down on hands and
knees and following the captain In
single file. Every two or three minutes
the line halted to peer and listen, and
we were q good hour in crawling half
a mile. We finally got into q path
which we knew must lead to the house.
and were crowding forward to get new
orders from the captain. when we got
scare to lift US out Of our boots.
There was big hog sleeping on the
path, and as the captain got within
three or four feet Of him the animal
woke up. AS he lay head on to us.
and as he was also Confederate hog.
he came at us full-tilt. He struck the
officer and knocked him ten feet away.
and before he got to the rear Of our
line he had upset dozen men and
started q panic. Nobody knew exact

with, and as the Confederates began
blazing away in their alarm the forty

tain was a long way behind US, and
the first thing he did was to prefer
charges against every man. II he could
have had his way every man would

as his papers reached the Colonel the
latter nullified them with the endorse
