THE NAVY'S MINIATURE SEA.
A Great Tank in Which Models of New
Warships Are to BE Tested.

A Great Tank in Which Models of Now
Warships Are to he Tested.
Close to the waterfront at the gun
factory in Washington the first expert
mental tank for the navy is beingrapid-
ly completed, and by the time bidders
have submitted proposals for the con-
struction of the big battleships and
monitors recently called for it will be
ready to test miniature models Of par
affine and wax representing the pro-
posed new additions to the country's
fighting strength on the sea- There is
no tank in the world equal to this one
in size, equipment, and completeness
of its electrical devices 1t is longer
and wider than the best owned by for
eign countries, and covers an area Of
water fully capable of floating some Of
the largest torpedo boats. 1t looks like
an immense natatorium, and, in fact,
would make an excellent one.
The plan of having big tank,
housed over, with brick sides and con-
crete bottom, in which little models of
all new ships to be built for the navy
years ago by Chief Constructor HIGH
born, who had noted the excellent re-
suits obtained in Great Britain and
France by testing designs Of new ships
before their actual lines were decided
upon by constructing small models and
having them towed through the water
at given rates of speed. The resistance
nffo bx,% I1I,
formed basis on which close esti-
mates could be made of the probable
speed of the actual ships when in SER
vice, and faults in designs could be
readily detected and corrected before
the vessels were completed. Two
years ago congress appropriated $780,
600 with which to build a tank, and
under direction of Constructor Taylor
the work has so advanced that it will
be available in few weeks.
When new vessel is to be built, a
model is made of it about eight feet
long, care being observed to have the
lines accurately moulded This model
is made of wood and covered with
mixture of paraffine and wax, to give
it smooth surface. Running the en-
tire length Of the tank, several feet
above the water, is an electrical trolley
apparatus, to which the model is at
tached and by which it is drawn
through the water at certain fixed
speeds. The waves created and their
character are noted, and the distur-
bance caused abeam and the general
effect produced on the water by the
vessel are closely watched. Where de-
fects are apparent, the designs of the
proposed vessel are altered to correct
them and by this means the construc-
tors can estimate accurately just the
amount of steam power required to
send a vessel of certain displacement
and design through the water at CIV
en- rate of speed. Models are now be-
ing made of the three new battleships,
which will be the first tested in the
new tank. 1t is expected that some
valuable lessons will be learned from
the experiments by which improve
ments may be made in the plans of the
ships.

WON HIS LEAVE OF ABSENCE
1t Had Been Refused But He Got 1t by a
Perllous Exploit,

1t Had Been Refused But He Got 1t by q
Perilous Exploit.
There is a young soldier from Bing-
hampton in Captain Hitchcock's COM
pany of the First Regiment, New YORK
Volunteers, at Governors Island, who
won much desired leave of absence
one day in novel way. This young
soldier wanted to go over to New York
for two days in the worst kind of a
way. Some friends from home, whom
he hadn't seen since he marched out
of Binghamton with his company near
ly two months before, were coming
down for a visit and had invited him
to spend the time with them. AS he
i hadn't had any leave either at Camp
Black or at Governors Island up to
that time, he felt sure that there would
be no difficulty in getting it then and,
accordingly, he put in an application
for forty-eight hours.
In just one hour he got his applica-
tion back, marked Refused There
was no explanation of therefusal, and
the young soldier was disgruntled
about it and went off to sulk.
The next afternoon there was a
heavy windstorm. 1t blew great guns
on Governors Island. and many things
that were not secured were blown out
into the bay. The most serious dam
age done, however, was the swapping of
the halyard on the big steel fiagpole on
the parade ground and the sudden de-
scent to the ground in consequence of
the American flag. Officers and men
regarded this as an evil omen, and,
despite the fact that the wind was still
blowing a gale, they ran out on the pa
rade ground to rescue the flag and see
what could be done toward fixing the
broken halyard.
Il want a man to shin up that pole
and fix that rope said the officer of
the day, who was one of the Lieuten-
ants of the company, Who will do
it?''
The first half of the flagpole was
solid enough, but up toward the top it
was bending in the wind like a slender
branch of a tree. 1t was a smooth
climb. too, and it was evident that it
would take pretty good man to make
it, and pretty strong one to hang on
after he reached the top. For mo-
ment after the lieutenant called for
volunteer there was silence. Then a
soldier stepped forward and said he'd
make an attempt
There was a burst of applause from
the others as he tied the end of the
rope around his waist. No one who
heard him doubted that he could make
the climb, as he had served six years
in the navy before Joining the National
Guard. Half way up, the soldier
stopped and yelled down that he
couldn't go any further.
"The winds too strong" he shouted.
Il can scarcely hold on now
"Come down, them" cried the Lieu
tenant
When the soldier reached the ground
the Lieutenant turned to the men and

HEAVY LOSS or OFFICERS.

Dash and Bravery Of tho American Com.
mnndsrs the Principal Cause.
= WASHINGTON, July 6.-Considerable
comment has been caused among the
officials Of the war department by the
great loss of American officers in the
two days Of fighting at Santiago. Of
fetal reports thus far received Indicate
that 81 American officers were killed
or wounded and the list is only partial.
This heavy loss is due to the dash and
bravery Of the officers themselves. In.
stance after instance has been disclosed
of officers springing in front of thoir
commands and leading them in bril-.
liant sorties against the enemy. Quite
naturally the Spanish sharpshooters
singled out tho officers as targets and
the result was that the American
forces suffered particularly heavily in
this respect.
