to the bottom did the same thing for
the submarine, and there it still rests,
tomb of iron for the nine intrepid
men who formed her crew.
Before she was employed against
the Housatonic several crews had lost
their lives in experimenting with her,
and this has been used by advocates
of the submarine as proof that in time
of need men will always be found
ready to risk the dangers of the tickle
craft. This has been still further dem
onstrated by the ability to secure
crews for submarines in spite of the
disasters which have befallen boats of
that type in the French and other
European navies during the past few
years.
Since the days of the crude subma-
rine of the civil war the development
of the submarine has been marvellous,
but most of it has been based on the
introduction of the gasoline engine,
thus providing practical motive'pow'
er for the conditions that must be
met. The modern submarine, there
fore, owes its standing to the same
thing that has created automobiles as
an important factor of civilization an6
has made the perfection of the aero
plane appear to be among the possi
bilities of the near future.

the success achieved in submarine ex-
periments in Narragansett' bay of
Newport during the past summer, the
Porpoise and Shark being used for
the purpose. The officers in charge
have refrained from making public the
results of the experiments, but 1t is
known that each has made over 500
miles with gasoline engines under con-
ditions that rendered this notable.
They have also accomplished more In
maneuvers under water than had here
tofore been attempted, and the SUBJ
marine department of the navy is be-
lieved to have been materially
strengthened by the knowledge gained
during the past year.
Varying Methods Used.
To the landsman there would seem
small difference in submarines. The
general principle of all is the same.
| When ready to go under the surface
they are made almost as heavy as the
surrounding water by admitting water
to the ballast tanks and then dropping
below the surface either by diving,
|
the use of the horizontal rudder or on
an even keel by further admission OF
water.
In the methods employed, however,
there are differences between the Hol'
land and Lake types which are radl'
cal in their effect on the efficiency OF
the craft, and friends of the Lake boat
have maintained that in the coming
test it's superiority will be demon
strated in spite of the government
preyious adherence to the Holland
boat.
The great increase in attention Civ

two or three years to submarine con
struction, of which the Narraganset
bav tests are evidence, naturally ere
ates interest in previous attempts u

In Baltimore the rule of the trans
portation companies is that children
over the age of five years must pay
full fare, those under that age being
carried free.
One afternoon not long ago there
were among the passengers on a
Charles street car a woman and her
son, the latter big boy of apparently
seven years, but who was held in his
mothers lap as if he were baby.
Presently the lad grew rest!ve.
"Mommer mommer," he murmured.
Say, mommer!"
The mother with premonition of
impending danger, tried to silence the
youngster, but to no avail, for he con-
tinued to call upon his "mommer."
Finally, the woman asked: We'll

seemed like a miracle sent from
heaven by the underwater route.
Had Washneton's Approval.
Bushnells plans were approved by
Washington, and turtle-shaped boat
holding air enough to permit the sim
gle operator to remain under water
half an hour was bult. The operator
succeeded in getting under the bot
toms of several of tho British vessels,
but found them copper sheathed,
which prevented the attaching of the
torpedoes with a screw as had been
the plan. 1t was the primitive char
acter of the torpedoes available, there
fore, rather than the limitations OF the
boat itself. which caused the enter
prise to fail.
During the civil war a submarine
constructed by an Indiana shoemaker
was employed by the confederates In
Charleston harbor, and they succeeded
with it in sinking the cruiser Housa
tonic. The boat was cigar-shaped
craft carrying crew of nine, and was
propelled by oars ingeniously equipped
1t has been claimed that she was run

in war Is still to be demonstrated, the

their construction is merely following
the example of European powers. RUS
