New York, May 13.-The entire coast of
the United States on the Atlantic, on the
Pacific and on the Gulf Of Mexico Is being
laid with submarine mines capable of
keeping the Spanish warships at a dis
tance.
The submarine mine has only one use,
namely, that Of coast defense. Tn this re-
spect it is superior to all the battleships
in the world. Where the battleship leaves
off, because it cannot run in shallow wa
ter, the submarine mine begins.
Submarine mining began with the Ger

tuted a popular man. and close study has
taught me this much:
A popular man Is one who Is always
ready 10 take drink and never gets
drunk
A popular man is one who dresses well
and looks well, but is not extensively fash
ionabe
A popular man Is one who Is on good
terms with the barkeeper, who inquiries
after the health of the walters wife, who
loves her lord, who buys an apple from
the woman on the corner and who pays
her cents when the price Is ] cent.

work is laid around the country Of sufn-
oient power agd hneness to keep any for
eign fleet out, should we not desire it to
enter.
The harbors that are most closely forti-
fed with these Underground mines are
Boston and. New York harbors, and the
waters of Delaware and Chesapeake bay
and the coast Of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The less
close method Of mine planting has been
employed in the big harbor of New Or
leans and along Key West and Dry Tor
tugas on account OF the warships there.
The Pacific coast, which was so lament
ably weak, has been strengthened wei,
and the Bay Of San Francisco is so UNI
deraid with these mines That were 1t not
for modern appliances 1t would be un-
safe for merchant vessels TO steam in
and out. Electricians, however, have re-
educed the science of laying mines TO
such an accurate point that there is no
danger to any but hostile ships.
The submarine mine to the lay reader
means only an explosive, and 10 even the
average close reader the submarine mine
is a bali Of high explosive so arranged
that when a vessel sails over it an ex-
plosion will take place and the vessel viii
be destroyed.
Such a mine is, however, far too crude
for the use of the navy. 1t would be
very dangerous to locate mines in this
loose uncertain fashion; and it is safe to
say that not one Of these contact mines
now exists. outside of a few small ports.
To explain the use of mines it is neces-
sary to distinguish between the different
kinds of mines. There are three, namely
the contact" the observation, and the
ground mine" The observation mine
and the ground mine are the ones most in
use. and of these two the ground mine
is used more than the other.
The contact mine is a simple little ar
rangement by which ball of dynamite is
lowered to a point Of about eight feet be-
low the surface of the water. 1t Is held
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-05-15

there by means Of sinker which rests on
the bottom Of the ocean. The ball of dyn-
amite has several points which on being
touched are driven into the center OF the
BAH and an explosion takes place.
As will be seen, this must be greatly af-
fected by the tides Az times the ball win
be a great distance below the surface Of
the water; again II win be near the sur
face. All will depend upon the tide
To do damage to the bottom Of an IRON
clad, the explosion must take place al least
eight feet below the water line. and the
submarine mine must be located so that it
will strike the ironclad six feet under wa
ter This, with the ever-changing tide Is
such a difficult matter that the contact
mine is almost useless except when the
tide is at certain hight.
Another bad point about the simple con-
tact mine Is that 4 sets uncon1ro7ablss The
iron sinker, no matter how heavy Il might
be- Is apt to become knocked around by
the waves, and the mine gets noated out
10 sea, ready to do damage to friend as
well as foe.
The mine which is more generally used
Is the observation mine, This Is in three
parts. To an observer who can be per-
mitted a glimpse underneath the surface
Of the water the observation mine consists
of three balls. On three feet below the
water, another eight feet below the water
and the third lying on the bed Of the ocean.
These three are Joined by a cable. The
top one is the observatory. This consists
Of a globe with two points upon it. on
being touched these points sink into the
globe and complete a circuit. This circuit
communicates with a station on the shore
AS the points are driven into the top globel
a bell is rung in the station and the en-
gineer in charge realizes that ship Is
passing over the mine. He looks out to

cult which discharges a mine. The ex-
ploslve lies in the middle bulb or the one
which is about eight feet below the upper
