Holland did more than that.
She started from the black buoy at
the eastern end Of Raritan Bay, about

Jersey shore for mile, showed 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 bourse perfectly be-
meath the surface. The average depth
of water over her coming tower dur
ing her submerged trips was about fif-
teen feet. In her surface experiments
after the diving trials were over she
obeyed her helm more quickly than
she ever did before. She did not have
to stop and take on more ballast as
she has in all her previous trials.
This difficulty was overcome by using
her compensating tanks. There was
no delay. She went at her work
promptly and behaved as though she
were on dress parade.
Her gun experiments were as sue
cessful as her evolutions in the water.
She expelled dummy torpedo from
her submarine tube without difficulty
and hurled 76-pound wooden pro-
jectile 400 yards through the air from
her forward dynamite gun, using com
pressed air in both instances.

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
ting 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 40
small part OF her was not distin-
guishable two miles away.
"If you managed TO keep out Of our
sight when wewere scanning the whole
surface of the bay for you, I 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 o
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.

comparatively free from the harbor

his experiments in Staten Island
Sound, and a depth Of water sufficient
to develop the full diving powers Of
the little whaleback could be had.
The Holland behaved perfectly in the
seaway. She ploughed right through
the waves, which tumbled the two
tugs about and dashed clouds of spray
up to their pilot houses like water
soaked log. The waves simply rolled
over her, alternately submerging her
completely and exposing her sides until
the lights in her broadside windows
could be seen. Her superstructure
and about twelve inches of her body
was out Of water. The 'tars and
Stripes, on four-foot ct, 7, foated

pig-lead ballast inside Of her, and her
tanks fore and aft, which have capacity

working order, Mr.. Holland slowed
the little boat up ndpointed her nose
in toward the Navesink Highland,
which loomed up smoky and indistinct
on the Jersey Shore four miles to the
southwark. Then, at right angles
with the course he told the naval off,
Ger he would take, which lay from the
black buoy almost due westward to
the Great Bed Lights, at the head Of
the dredged channel he sent the Hol-
land forward at full speed and forced
her fin rudder down. The Holland
reluctantly buried her blunt nose
and tilted up her tail until the blades
of her screw were visible as they
churned the water. She ran along 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
few ripples aft and little patch Of
foam, but that vas all. Two hundred
yards from where she disappeared the

the Hollands ability to go down and
come up as she pleased. The nervous
ones W ere reassured after wait Of
twelve minutes by seeing her appear
again, but she disappeared instantly,
and for fifty long minutes not glimpse
Of her was 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 a 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 dis tance.
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 alone-
side by three shrill whistles. It was
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 to
try his dynamite gun and his torpedo
tube. The aerial dynamite gun was
tried first. A wooden projectile 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. It's
fight was rapid, but it could be seen.
A powder charge sufficient to increase
the pressure at the muzzle Of
the gun to 1000 pounds to the square
inch would have been used il
the breech OF the gun had not been
defective. The projectile was Of the

and the tugs backed away to give her

land sent the little whaleback along

developed speed Of eight knots. Her

Improved pandelions For Gnrdens.

The dandelion is so popular an herb
for greens that it is well worth while
to cultivate it in the garden for that
use. There are special varieties which
have much larger and thicker leaves,
and these are sometimes planted in
greenhouses in winter so as to have
greens earlier for use in spring. At
this season something fresh from the
garden or greenhouse is liked by oil.
One of the advantages of the dande-
lion green's is that they have tonic
effect on the stomach, and are very
highly regarded by many oldfashioned
people as medicinal food.

Spraying.

The unproductiveness of some or
chartls is caused by the attacks of in
sects and fungi. Such orchards may
be greatly improved by spraying with
combination OF Bordeaux mixture
and Paris green. The Bordeaux stops
the growth of the fungi Especially the
apple scab) and the Paris green kills
the larve of the bud-moth and codling
moth.
The first spraying should be done
when the fruit buds have begun to
show their color, but before the flow
ers expand. A second application
should be made just as the last blos-
SONS fall. In some years when insects
and fungi are particularly abundant,
third and even fourth application
may be necessary.
To insure success the spraying must
be done thoroughly. Every limb and
every leaf must be wet with the MKT
ure. Insects do not hunt around for
the poison-it must be put where they
will be sure to get it.
