Take an empty tumbler. turn it bottom upward
and press 1t down into basin of water. The
further you submerge it the smaller grows the air
space. the air becoming more and more COM
pressed. If you could slightly increase the pres
sure OF the confined air the encroachng water
would be driven outward. II the bottom of the
tumbler were pierced on the other hand. the
air would escape and the water would rise and fill
the space. Substitute a pipe instead of free
opening in the bottom Of the glass and lead this
pipe to a reservoir of compressed air. When this
compressed air is poured into the tumbler the
water will be driven out the glass will rise and
free itself of In either case then the space
will be filed with air.
This is substantially what Mr. Wotherspoon
has planned shall happen when ships compart-
ment or compartments are flooded through under
water damage of any sort. Air win displace the
water due to leakage and make the craft float
well nigh as II she had not been injured OF
course this Is upon the assumption that the
wound has occurred at the bottomsand not the
top of watertight subdivision: otherwise the
chamber will remain flooded.
But it takes a good deal OF air to fill most OF
the big divisions OF fighting ship, and there
must be piping to carry the air to these hundreds
of separate chambers. How did Mr. Wother-
spoon provide for all these and yet exceed the
weight allowed him by the naval officials, He
did II by making of facilities actually already
provided for other services.
Foul air. gases and heat beyond fixed degree
must be guarded against in man-ofwar within
the various under water compartments. To ac-
complish this end two pipes lead to each Of these
chambers one to carry fresh air and the other
to drain of the foul Also every fighting ship Is
furnished with air compressors and there are
number of tanks in which this air is stored at
very high pressure Normally this air is for the
charging of the torpedoes. for some kind of me-
chanical work and for blowing the residual gases
and bits Of smoldering remnants of the powder
bags out of the big guns before the breeches
are opened for reloading. The very fundamentals
of Mr.. Wotherspoon's system thus already
installed and few inexpensive connections alone
were needful to complete his requirements All
that was necessary to tap the air supply sys-
tenn by flexible hose and join the connection to
the supply duct leading to any desired compart-
Dlent. at the same time closing the exhaust vent
Thus compressed air under perfect control could
be led into the flooded chamber and the water
quickly expelled
That is not all; the system makes it possible

There are more nervous persons

II food remains undigested in the

verted into poison.

may, and often does. cause irritation
