HOW A SUBMARINE DIVES.
(Harper's Weekly.)


All submarine vessels are brought
to condition of readiness to sub
merge by taking in water ballast in
suitably arranged and controlled
tanks. This causes more of the boat
to sink below the waters surface, and
finally leaves her with only a small
part of her coming tower out of the
water. The remaining part above
water represents what is called ire
serve bouyancy." This bouyancy var
les from 200 to thousand pounds,
depending upon the size of the craflA
and II Is to overcome the permanent
tendency TO rise represented by this
reserve that pressure is brought to
bear upon the submerging rudders or
the hydroplanes in order to make the
boat sink after she is once put In
motion.
Now, the amount of water that
must be taken into submarine yes
sci to bring her body sufficiently he
low the surface for readiness to dive,
constitutes one Of the two prime dis
tinctions between the submarine and
the submersible. IN the submarine
only from 3 to 12 per cent of her total
submerged bulk lies above the sur
race when she is in her lightest con
dition, and accordingly nearly that
percentage of water ballast must be
pumped into her tanks to bring her
down to the required condition aeces-
sary TO running submerged. In the
suomersibie; on the other hand. two.
'hfee, and even four times this per-
centage OF water ballast must be
pumped into her tanks In order to re-
uuce the vessels reserve of bouyan-
cy so that she may be forcibly made
10 sink out of sight. 1t Is the height
out OF water or reserve bouyancy of
me submersible which gives her the
seakeeping qualities, which
permits the vessel to be driven safely
On the surface at higher rates of speed
and which contributes in other ways
o the efficiency, the habitability and
he military value of the craft.

in the Champion ten years ago. He
heard of the explosion and went to
the mine. Went in with Andy Erler
and Billy Grogan. Went to the, car
and mule. So smoky couldn't see
man over three feet. Couldn't say
what caused the explosion, but the
smoke smelled like powder Couldn't
stay in long. the air was so bad. He
went on about 70 feet beyond where
the mule lay. searching for Williams

but did not know It at the time. He
vent outside and recruited, and then
went back and went into the entry
where the car had come from. The
air had cleared up considerably by
this time. He believed the shock had
killed the mule. He visited the mine
the next day at the request of Mr..
Logan. Didn't find anything more
than already mentioned. Went into
the entry where 1t was claimed the
gas was worst. and found the air Was
fair. This was in the entry to the
left of the main tunnel. Saw sdm.e
evidence there of the explosion. He
thought the gas put off some powder
or some powder put off the gas.
Mr.. Logan testified that he was
called up about o'clock in the after
noon He got Dr. Lackey and his
brother Dave and started for the mine
ON the way he met some men and
told them what had happened and
asked them to get others and go to
the mine.

men walking out and they told him
Locatello was lying by the car inside.

by the car and he looked around for

panions carried Locatello out. Mr.
Logan said there was some explosion
of gas. He stayed out about five
minutes and then went back in with
small bunch of men. He crawled
beyond the mule about 40 feet, going
near to where Williams was after

the matter was put off until 2 O'Clock

the cases for trial June 10. Attorneys

But there is more to it. Americans
learned that some of the great artists

$4,000 Marquand Piano.
The $4,000 Marquand piano is the
most notable relic of this age of i'm
portation. The case designed by
Alma-Tadema and executed by Poyn-
ter. 1t cost the famous art collector
fully the amount named, though at
auction sale on his death II brought
only $4,000.

attracted much attention. The artist
fairly covered this piano with his
work. There were paintings on both
sides of the lid and all around the
band
Americans who cared enough about
a piano to pay $4,000 for it we're not
numerous.i Several. however. were
willing to invest $4,000 and run the
risk of getting an art work so deli
cate and yet SO unwieldy safely
through dangerous ocean voyage.
One of these $25 900 pianos came
to member of the Vanderbilt fami-
~ 1t was wonderfully carved with
garlands hanging free from the body
of the instrument. The panels were
painted by Kammerer, of Paris. and
aside from the panels the case was
covered with cream white enamel.
OF late years the special order case
has been the rage. and there are not
a few houses along Fifth avenue and
riverside Drive that have special
decorated pianos. They are not s25..
oOO creations by any means, but there
has been and still is an unusual de-
mand among people of wealth for
decorated pianos costing $4,000. &c.,
600 and $4,000.
There is wide latitude in the dec.
orations. Some show small panels on
strict school lines. Louis XIV case,
for instance. with panels painted af-
ter Vatican or Boucher. Often the
piano is taken as the background for
idealistic paintings. There have been
Faust pianos and Romeo and Ju-
iiet' pianos. with scenes from these
operas.
