FOR SAFETY OF SAILORS
Device Permitting Their Escape From
Flooded Submarines

The Navy Department has pur-
chased device which will permit the
escape of officers and crews of flooded
submarines resting on the bottom.
This device, which has already been
tested and adopted by the British
Navy, will be installed for experiment
tai purposes in one of our new sub
marines, and if found satisfactory all
the submarines of the navy will be
equipped with it.
AD air tight section built from the
side of the submarine, in which the
air is trapped, is part of the design
to be tried. 1t is called an "air lock. "
With this is to be used an ingenious
diving helmet and jacket. These
helmets are hung inside the air lock,
which is supplied with oxygen from
the submarines cylinders.
In case of an accident the men in
the vessel may make their way to the
air lock, adjust the helmets, which
requires but thirty seconds, and air in
the helmet carries the wearer to the
surface. There is supply of arti-
fetal air in the helmet in a small
case, which both purifies and gener-
ates oxygen.
Respired air undergoes a process of
publication, and is reoxygneated and
used over again.

The Typhoid Fly

DIR. l.. o. Howard, chief of the
Federal Bureau of Entomology, terms
the common househy the typhoid fly,
as it is the most common and pro-
lifiic means of communicating and
multiplying typhoid fever once the
disease has secured a foothold, par
ticularlv in country neighborhood.
1t has been pointed out in recent
studies by the local government
board of London that besides con
veying intestinal disease, such as
typhoid and cholera, the fly may
carry on his feet the germs of tu-
berculosis, anthrax diphtheria, ophta-
mia smallpox and the eggs of para
site worms.
1t may be hard to believe this. If
it were the evidence of only one in
vestigator it might be little regarded,
but a large number of our most skill
ed bacteriologists have been investi-
eating the fly and his disease-convey-
ing capacity for a number Of years
and their report is unanimous, and
the common house fly stands convict
ed of being one of the most danger
Gus enemies of the human race.

SHIPS SELDOM AVAILABLE
NAVY Department Unable To Meet De-
mands OF CeIebratOrs

The season of midsummer cele-
brations is worrying the officers of
the Navy Department. The demands
so far this summer call for seventeen
fleets, 1877 battleships and Ga SUBJ
marines. All are wanted to shed
luster on the celebration of some
event of great local Importance.
1T is difficult to convince the cit
izens of any city that the creek on
which their metropolis is located is
not the finest natural harbor-with a
little dredging in the world, and
large enough to harbor the fleets of
all nations, said naval official. "As
the navy is the property of the peo-
pie of the United States, who pay for
it, it is expected to be at the call of
the citizens of all cities and towns
which wish to celebrate.
For the most part the Navy De-
partment respectfully informs ap-
plicants that the navy either is at sea
or laid up in the yards for repairs.
and despite the desire of the Secretary
to make the celebration, wherever it
may be held, success, warships are
seldom available for the purpose.
That is, in most cases, but there are
some local celebrations which will not
be denied

Br COMES CHIEF OF STAFF
Gen. Wood Soon To Assume His New
Position

1t is expected that Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood, who has been on diplo-
matte mission to Buenos Aires, will
arrive in Washington in few days
and assume the duties of chief of staff
of the army. to which position he was
appointed last April.
There are a number of questions
which have been passed upon by the
general staff of the War Department,
and which are awaiting the cons der
alton of General Wood. Not the
least important of these is the draft
of the order prescribing a system of
regular physical exercises for officers
of the military establishment and
stipulating the conditions of an an
nual physical test.
1t is known that General Wood en-
tertains decided views respecting
physical exercises, and it is expected
he will take up the question without
delay. The recommendations made
have covered the ground from the
mildest form to a system which may
be described as severe.

There isn't any educational in

sist that every mdshipman shall do

NEW BUSINESS SYSTEM
Rear Admiral COwie Orders Changes In
The Supplies And Accounts Meth.
Ods AT Washington

Rear Admiral T. j. Cowie, former
ly Of the Naval Academy, the new
paymaster- general of the navy, has
made some important changes in the
system of doing business under the
bureau of supplies and accounts at
Washington.
Secretary Meyer declares that Pay
master General Cowie shall have as
much authority as possible. To that
end he has approved a recommenda-
tion made by the paymaster general
that all acquisitions for stocks, sup
plies and materials shall be submit
ted to the paymaster general for APP
proval or disapproval. That officer
will be governed in his action by the
quantities of the various supplies on
hand or available for shipment from
other yards or stations.
By that means it will be possible
tanned and prevent an undue accumu-
lation of supplies and materials at
the various navy yards This is re-
garded as an important provision and
is expected to promote economy and
prevent waste.
In the case of other supplies which
are needed for important use or for
specific purpose, the requsitions will
be submitted to the paymaster gen.
eral through the bureaus most direct
ly concerned. Authority is given to
the paymaster general to disapprove
any acquisitions. In such event,
however, he will report his action and
the reason for it to the department.
The new arrangement is designed to
provide better regulation of naval
stores. 1t is made possible by the
new naval supply fund legalized by
Congress in, the late session.
