Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-07-06

After persons ashore had begun to
think hard about the Lake, little sub
marine cruiser, and wonder whether
she had succumbed TO the seventies OF
the trip up from Norfolk, the striped
mast or fagpole of the diver was seen
by an observer the other day about
noon and soon afterward the latest
the steamship dock at Atlantic High
lands. y. J., says the New York Her
aid. She was built by the Lake Tor
pedo Boat company, and as she lay
practically flush with the water she at
tracted general attention.
Orders were for the Lake to stop at
Atlantic City, and it was her failure
to do so on account of bad weather
that caused fears for her safety. She
made the run from Norfolk, a distance
of 325 miles, at a speed of more than
seven knots. 1t is the longest cOntinu-
Gus sea trip ever made by a submarine
She Is driven by gasoline engine Of
go horsepower and has auxiliaries for
electric lights and other purposes of
40 additional horsepower. All tb. food
eaten on board Is cooked by electricity
and the interior is brilliantly lighted.
During the long voyage up the coast
the Lake was unaccompanied by any
vessel and ventured into the open sea
entirely alone Captain G. NJ Evans
reported that although comparatively
heavy weather was encountered, the
run was accomplished without the
slightest mishap. and said 1t undoubt
edly marked the beginning of an adj
vanced era in submarines.
On board the Lake is a crew of eight
men all told, who find plenty of room
for their simple wants within the steel
pod, which is built TO withstand the
pressure of the sea at n depth of 40
feet. Even when steaming on the sur
face her decks are submerged by the
wash, so that the navigator handles the
craft from the top of the coming tow
er: but when she settles beneath the
surface and begins the duties for which
she was constructed he steers from
within the tower, whence, although
several feet beneath the surface, he is
enabled to sweep the horizon by means
of perisc0pe or omniscope, which
projects somewhat beyond the water
and reflects below what is going on
above
Electricity is the auxiliary motive
power Of the Lake, but the batteries
are used only when she is submerged
She can carry sufficient gasoline TO
last her on much longer voyage than
the one she has just completed. She Is
equipped with three torpedo tubes and
has storage capacity for five torpedoes.
In the bow Is diving chamber whence
a diver can issue forth into the sea
when the boat is beneath the surface,
and this will be valuable adjunct in
war time in cable cutting and the lay
ing Of mines.
When diving the Lake does not de
scend on an inclined plane, but sinks

The Church Of God and the Saints
of Christ is the name OF a new relI-
gious sect established at Middletown,
n. Y, among the negroes. although it
is claimed that the membership en-
braces some whites, says the New

er John II. Allen of Philadelphia. who
is now in charge. under the direction
of William Scrowdy OF Washington,
who proclaims himself Gods prophet
and who is the supreme ruler of the
destinies OF the church. Each member
is required TO contribute 10 per cent
