UNDER WATER FOUR HOURS.

The submarine boat Argonaut, which
went to the bottom of Long Island
Sound. eff Bridgeport, Conn, recently,
and remained under water four hours

structed in Baltimore three years ago.
The boat was invented by Simon Lake
and was built at the Columbian Iron
Works. 1t received its first tests in the
P2tapScO River, making several trips
Under water. The boat is constructed
Of boiler plate material on a heavy
framework of steel. 1t contains apart
l.leTlts for water ballast which can be
expelled and nlled with compressed air
when it is desired TO raise the boat to
the surface, and can be filled with water
when il is desired to go to the bottom
or proceed under water. The motive
power is generated from dynamos oper-
ating a screw propeller similar to that
used on an ordinary steamer.
The particular feature of the boat is
what is called a water-tight compart-
nent in the bottom. BY filling this with
compressed air, ii is claimed that an
opening in the side of the hull can be
made and the water will not enter ow-
ing TO the atmospheric pressure; neither
VIII the air escape through the water
The tests made with the air chamber in
( Baltimore were but partly successful.
Since then, however, 1t has been con-
si5erably improved.
The boat is SO feet long, feet in
diameter and has a displacement when
g.lder water Of 81 tons. 1t is intended

depth Of $50 feet, but has never been
tried below a depth of 30 feet attached
