EFFICIENT WORK or
REPAIR SHIP VULCAN.
70 Has Kept the war.hip. % IN. Uait-
ed states AZ santiago In Repair
FOR Active Services.

New York. Aug. s.-A special TO The
Tribune from Washington says;
The repair ship Vulcan Ia one Of tho
naval successes Of the ezistinSgar. That
20 wholly novel an adjunct q > modern
feet should prove her worth At once and
80 signAlly In the intricate science Of
naval conflict Is strong evidence not
only Of the need which she has filed but
OF the vigilance and foresight Of the en-.
gineer Of the navy, with whom her de.
sign originated and under whose direc.
ton her plant has been installed.
In preparing for this exigency the
navy department, on the outbreak Of
the war, purchased the steamship
Chatham, renamed her tho Vulcan, and
fitted her out with much expedition at
the Boston navy yard. II may here be
noted that the Vulcan Is not the first re-
pair ship which the engineer In chief
has projected. That the Vulcan has
fulfilled the promise Of her originator, is
shown by the fact that for further ser.
vice our ships are not coming homo ex.
cept TO be locked. The great feet OF
Sampson lies In the lAndlocked Cuban
harbor with the Vulcan close. prepared
In every essential way for any duty
which the navy department may pre-.
scribe and this, after many vessels have
been months away from a northern ma
chine shop aud nearly year from n
dock yard.
The character OF the work now being
done by the repair ship Is shown to
some extent In letter from one Of her
officers who, writing from Guantanamo
bay, says:
"In regard 70 this vessel and its utili.
", can only say that we are busy night
and day. Our brass furnace Is gong
every day. there having been uneXpoct.
ed calls for brass castings Of all kinds
and sizes. II seemed that every v-~sel
In the fleet -colliers, transports, supply
and warships-has either a winch, q

galore are required with new brasses,
gun castings, etc. We have supplied also

different ships A. | said before,
we are busy all the time, and there is not
a vessel In the feet, but has had some
thing done to IT, The torpedo boats,

One of the Most Wonderful Pieeesof; Naval Architect

wonderful piece of naval architecture
: in existence.
# The programme arranged before
hand was that the Holland should
make two-mile run under water,
coming to the surface three times at
intervals of one minute each. The
EH0Iiand did more than that.
She started from the black buoy at
the eastern end of Raritan Bay about
\ .fouf ai1ilsa aonthSS stp Old Ors
se,ardd lie gaas ssagd the
EJersey shore for mi shoMsa sa.her
coming tower on the surface for about
thirty seconds, ran another mile under
water, came up again, turned around; /;
and vert back to the black buoy in
the same way.
Aided by her automatic steering
gear, she held her course perfectly be-
meath the surface. The average depth
|fof water over her coming tower dur
ing her submerged trips was about ff-
teen feet. In her surface experiments
after the diving trials were over she
Eobeyed her helm more quickly than
she ever did before. She did not have
Ito, stop and take on more ballast as
she has in all her previous trials.
This difficulty was overcome by using
Eher compensating tanks. There was
Emo delay. She went at her work
|spromptly and behaved as though she
Ewere on dress parade.
Her gun experiments were as sue.
Ecessful as her evolutions in the water.

too rough to open the lid OF the con-
ming tower, so Mr.. Holland blew his
whistle twice more to let the men on
the tugs know that he was ready te
try his dynamite gun and his torpedo
tube. The aerial dynamite gun was
tried first. A wooden proiectile eight
inches in diameter, half an inch smaller
than the bore of the gun, was fitted
into the breech and expelled from the
gun by compressed air charge. of
600 pounds pressure to the square
inch. The proiectile was hurled
through the air for 400 yards at an
angle of about sixteen degrees. Its
flight was rapid, but it could be seen.
A powder charge sufficient to increase
the pressure OF the muzzle Of
the gun to 1000 pounds to the square
inch would have been used If
the breech of the gun had not been
defective. The proiectile was O. the
same shape as the dynamite shell
which will be used in the gun in actual
service, but its weight was about 100
pounds less. Immediately after this
trial the submarine torpedo tube was
successfully tested.
Mr.. Holland was taken aboard the
tug which carried the naval experts
and was questioned by Lieutenant
Commander Sperry and his associates.
He explained to them that the reason
the Holland could not be seen when
she rose to the surface was that she
poked only her nose and coming tower
up, and the sea was so rough that so
small o part of her was not distin-
guishable two miles away.
eff you managed to keep out of our
sight when we were scanning the whole
surface of the bay for you, | don't
know what hostile battleship that
did not suspect you were after her
would do" one of the men remarked:
The water in which Mr.. Holland
dived had an average depth of thirty
feet. The last time she was under she
bumped along the bottom for half a
mile, and her crew could hear the oys-
ter shells scraping against her iron
sides.
When the Holland is equipped for
war it will not be necessary for her to
take any metal ballast on board at all:
The weight of her projectiles will
make her heavy enough, and she will
be operated solely by her ballast tanks.

Woman at the Paris EIpositionss
An association has been formed by
some public spirited women OF New
York to insure for their sex proper
representation and display at the COM
ing Worlds Fair in Paris. 1t has
been intimated by the authorities in
Washington that if women organized
for such q purpose they would not
only receive official recognition, but
substantial pecuniary aid.
The exhibition of woman's work
the fruits of her intelligence and in
dustry-was one of the most interest
ing features of the Chicago e1posi-
tfon. Such demonstration made In
Paris would be q novelty that would
open the eyes of foreigners as nothing
else could to the advantages which
women enjoy in America and the good
uses they make of them.
In most countries of Continen-
tai Europe woman is either drudge,
who endures an unreasonable amount
of hard work, or q doll, to be fulsome-
ly flattered and adored. To the French
in particular it will be o revelation to
find woman's work lifted to plane of
dignity and Importance and her
achievements ranking with these of
men.
In this movement the Herald fore
sees additional triumph for the sex
which may still be called gentle even
as it becomes superlatiyely useful

WONDERS OF WELBEcK.
Remarkable Underground Ballroom and
Tunnels.

Tunnels.
Everybody has heard of the under:
ground ballroom at Welbeck Abbey,
where the Price and Princess Of Wales
have just been the guests of the Duke
and Duchess of Portland; but com:
paratively few know the real extent Of
the buried splendors of Welbeok.
These wonders of Welbeck were the
work of the present Dukes father,
who in the latter years of his life
avoided completely the society of his
creatures, with the exception of
few trusted personal attendants. His
first step, says a correspondent of the
Chicago News, was to take exception
to the public right of way across his
park, and to counteract this his grace
had paths sunk six feet below the sur,
face, covering them with an arched
roof of alternate turf and glass and
having them lighted where necessary
with gas. There were two miles of
these tunnels made from the Dukes
own designs. After this his grace be-,
gan the remarkable series of subter-
ranean structures which cost him, it
is said, nearly $40, ,00O,G and kept
1900 wo1kmen employed for nearly
eighteen years. So enamored was the
Duke of this subterranean idea that he
had all the buildings OF his thirty-fve
park lodges constructed in the same
fashion and lighted with bullseyes
from the top. They cost nearly $4,000
each to build. But everything at We'll
beck is on colossal scale. There is
wonderful old oak tree in the park
which has an arch cut through its
trunk through which coach and four
could be driven, and its grapevines are
so magnificent that some years ago one
huge bunch Of Syrian grapes was found
to weigh nearly twenty pounds and
was carried by two undergraduates on
pole to Wentworth House, Rother-
ham, as aspresent to the late Lord
Fitzwilliam. The kitchens at We'll
beck are marvellous both in dimensions
and in the perfection of their equip.
ment, and the dishes are conveyed
from there to the dining-room by means
of miniature underground railway,

reluctantly buried her blunt nose
and tilted up her tail until the blades
Of her screw were visible rs they
churned the water. She ran alone in
this fashion for fifty yards, and then
suddenly swinging about and pointing
her nose toward the Great Beds light
she slipped out of sight. There were
q few ripples aft and little patch Of
foam, but that was oil. Two hundred
yards from where she disappeared the
Holland came up like huge porpoise
and most Immediately vanished from
view again.
Every man on the two tugs took ont
his watch and counted the minutes
she was under. Many of them had
never seen O submarine boat perform
before and were little skeptical as to
the Hollands ability to go down and
come up as she pleased. The enervous
ones were reassured after wait OF
twelve minutes by seeing her appear
again, but she disappeared instantly,
;and for fifty long minutes not a glimpse
of hsrwas caught by any one on either
tug. The most confident of the spec
;tators were discouraged long before
the fifty minutes was over.
Exactly one, hour and two minutes
after she had made her first dive and,
about fifty minutes after her second
appearance above the water the Hol-
land was discovered three-quarters
of mile away from the tugs. Her
flag was gone, and all that could be
seen of her was her coming tower
which looked like an oyster can as it
bobbed up and down in the distance.
The crowds on the tugs gave yell
of delight, and the tugs whistles
Joined in the chorus. The boat, grow
ing bigger and bigger, ploughed
through the water in the direction Of
the black buoy at eight knot speed.
She made several quick turns to the
right and to the left on the way, which
indicated that her steering gear was in
perfect working order. Finally she
stopped and summoned the tugs along
side by three shrill whistles. It was
