TO RAISE THE MAINE
HOW ENGINEER RICHARDSON MAY
FLOAT BATTEESHiP.

| Ingenious plan Devised to Lift Ships
From oceans Bed--Sunken Spanish
Cruisers May Also Be Raised and
Restored.
Unless the plans of the engineers are
all awry the wreck of the battleship
Maine, which has lain in the mud at
the bottom of Havana harbor since
Feb. 10, 1898, Will be raised from its
ignoble bed and once more breast the
curling wave.
The plans, which are now complete,
are the result of constant study since
the Spanish war by Mr.. George Rich
ardson of Chicago, an engineer of eX-
perience. The scheme itself is simple,
although it involves a great deal of la
bor and will require three months to be
put into execution. But before any
thing further can be done it will be
necessary to secure the consent of the
government.
AT the next session of congress the
United States will be asked to release
its ownership in the sunken vessel and
also to turn over to Mr.. Richardson the
Spanish ships that lie beneath the wa
congress will grant the privilege, work
will be at once begun by Mr.. Richard
son on one of the sunken Spanish ships,
as he thinks they can most easily be
raised. 1t is his intention, however, to
raise all the ships if his plan will work
at all.
In beginning the work several rows
of piles will be sunk parallel to each
side of the wreck. These piles will rest
on the hardpan and will project sew
eral feet above the water. Upon the
piles will be built platforms capable OF
sustaining great weight, and upon the
platforms will be set hydraulic jacks.
The ingenious part of the scheme,
however is not in this part of the pro-
posed work. but in the method of plac-
ing the cables beneath the wrecks. The
principal part of the device for running
the cables under the sunken ships con-
sists merely of hollow steel tubes ten
inches or more in diameter. These
tubes, each section of which is about
six feet long. will serve as a spout
through which a jet of water is to be
forced. In the beginning the tubes will

people from the Western Reserve. Sew
eral counties in Kew York state held
enthusiastic and well attended old
home week celebrations last year, and
it is proposed to inaugurate the Gus
tom in the province of Ontario.
Ex-Governor Rollins of New Hamp-
shire. father of the idea, has recently
received requests for old home litera-
ture from the Irish members of parlia-
ment 1t has taken less than five years
for the old home week idea to cross the
Atlantic.
The old home week reunions have a
business as we'll as a sentimental side.
1t has been the experience of those
states that have held the reunions that
a great many people have been induced
to return and take up old homesteads
or to buy farms in the towns where
they were born and make their sum-
mer homes there, and in number of
cases people have permanently re-
turned to pass their declining years in
the place of their birth.
While the towns and cities have re-
ceived great practical benefits from
old home week, it is the opinion Of
those who have been close observers
that greater benefit has come in the
renewed courage it has given the peo-
pie of the towns, the general uplift, the
spur that it has given them to improve
their condition in order that they may
each year greet their returning sons
and daughters with new zest and show
them the improvements made in their
town during the year.
The tendency is now to have some
thing to point to as accomplished dur
ing the year pasta new piece of road
built, new building erected, new
school established. debating society,
a lyceum or something else in the way
of progress. In some of the towns on
old home day they have taken occasion
to erect tablets of bronze or stone to
their famous dead or those who were
born in the place and have gone away
and made their names famous.
Thus the old home week idea, which
originated In sentiment, has developed
practical features that commend it as a
business proposition. The idea is grow
Ing in popularity and seems destined to
become widespread.
Rock Island Argus., 1903-04-11
THE OLD HOME WEEK
HOW THE IDEA WAS CONCEIVED AND
EXECUTED.

Started In New Hampshire Only Four
Years Ago and All New England
Hns Adopted the Plnn-Benehts OF
the scheme.
With the recent organization of the
Massachusetts Old Home Week associ-
alton and the election of Governor
John L. Bates as it's president the old
Bay State fails into line with the other
New England states that have formally
taken up the old home week idea.
-Four years ago the old home week
was an experiment. The name itself
had just been invented, and the scheme
was entirely new and novel; The idea
originated in the brain of Frank w.
Rollins, then governor of New Hamp-
shire, who also carried the idea into
execution. IN 1899, through her chief
executive, Governor Rollins, New
Hampshire invited all her absent sons
and daughters to return to their old
homes for n week of reunion.
Extensive preparations were made
throughout the state for their recep-
ton, and thousands revisited their old
homes in the Granite State and par
>dcipated in the festivities arranged for
their entertainment. So successful has
the experiment proved that old home
week has become u fixed festival in
the state, and thousands plan their va
cations so that they can be at home at
that time.
So spontaneous was the enthusiasm
awakened by the old home week senti-
ment that Maine in 1900 adopted the
same plans pursued by New Hamp-
shire, and old home week observances
have been a decided feature of the
past three summer seasons in the Pine
Tree State.
Vermont fell into line in the move
ment in 1901 and has very happily
combined the reunions of old home
week with the patriotic observanceS of
the battle of Bennington. Massachu-
setts last year in taking up the Gus
tom went one step further and passed
law whereby each city and town may
appropriate money for the observance
of old home week and established the
time as the week beginning with the
last Sunday in July. This year Con-
necticut is making ready to adopt the
custom, and indications are that Rhode
Island Will follow suit
Outside of New England the custom
has also been adopted extensively in
New York state and to some extent in
other states and localities. The city
of Cleveland held a very successful old
home week in 1901, calling back the

be only long enough to reach the mud
bottom. Great pumps will force the
water through them, driving away the
soft deposit. AS the water digs into the
mud the tubes will be extended by the
addition of other sections.
These tubes incline at an angle of
forty-five degrees, and there will be
1S4 of them on each side of the ship.
Their location must be so nicely calcu-
lated that when they are forced
through the mud they will join at right
angles beneath the keel of the sunken
vessel. When the tubes from opposite
sides meet the pumps on only one side
will be kept working. A wooden sphere
slightly smaller than the bore of the
tubes will then be forced under the
vessel through the connected tubes. To
this wooden sphere will be fastened a
cord. This cord will be used to draw a
rope and the rope to draw through q
cable. When this is repeated 1S4 times
and the cables are strung under the
ship from stem to stern, both ends of
the cables will be fastened to the hy-
draulic jacks
The raising of the ship then becomes
a simple task, according to Mr.. Rich
ardson. The jacks will draw the ca
bles taut and thus gradually raise the
wreck above the surface of the water.
Once above the water the vessel will
be buoyed by alright casks sufficient
in number to support it. 1t can then
be towed TO a dockyard in this country
and repaired.
1t was with the idea of raising the
Maine that the inventor set about to
find a method to that end, but now
that he believes he has solved the prob
lem he intends TO raise all the Spanish
war wrecks along the Cuban coast.
Many expert engineers and wreckage
men to whom the scheme has been
submitted believe it is practicable. All
that is now necessary is Uncle Sans
permission to begin work.
The entire expense of the work will
be borne by the inventor, who hopes
to be reimbursed by the exhibition and
sale of the ships. So confident is Mr..
Richardson in the success of his plan
that he fully expects to have one or
more of the ships up next summer. So
the i'll fated Maine after her years OF
repose in Cuban mud may once more
gladden. the hearts of the patriotic,
fully restored to her original strength
and usefulness.

french Princess Who Is Talked OF

Much interest has been aroused In
Madrid and in court circles throughout
Europe over the project of the mar
riage between Princess Louise of Or
leans and Alfonso Kill, king of Spain.
Last September it was reported that
Louise's brother, the Duke of Orleans,
had offered her hand to King Alfonso,
and the court mobiles urged his majesty
to accept the offer. Now it seems not
unlikely that the young ruler will fol-
low the example of his neighbor, the
king of Portugal, and choose a bride
from the ancient royal house of France.
