MIRRORS ON SUBMARINES
WOULD MAKE THEM INVISIBLE
So Inventor Declares, by Giving Mir
ror A Downward Tilt.

Patrick keenan,, of Denver. Colo,
proposes TO make small boats and sub
marines completely invisible when on
the surface and thus 10 render help
less the deadnaughts and modern le-
viathians which the nations now are
building in their struggle for control
of the seas.
A few months ago Hiram Maxim
gave out an interview in which he said
that he hoped to obtain complete in
visibility for the submarines, even
when ii was running along the surface
of the water. keenan, read and smiled.
for already he had applied FOR a patent
on an invention which he believed COW
cred the same ground.
Briefly. Keenan's idea is TO ciothe
the portion of the submarine above the
surface with a mirrow which will re-
fleet only the water beneath il. and at
a distance Of a few yards would give
the appearance OF virgin sea. keenan,
conducted his experiments in City
Park, Denver A short time ago he
erected in the middle of the lake a
large mirror. inclined TO reflect the
water. From the shore, one hundred
wards distant, the effect was that Of an
unbroken surface
Nothing could be seen of the mirror
or what was behind il. Keenan, ap-
Plies his invention TO the periscope by
clothing it in a glass tube. silvered
inside, forming mirror. which rend-
ers the whole invisible Ii it is desir-
ed the decks can be similarly clad in
silvered plate glass, and the subma-
rine on the surface will be at a far
shorter distance from the range OF the
modern torpedo
BY giving huge mirrors downward
tilt keenan, believes they may be used
to reflect the surface i'm t-of them
and 10 conceal efftively new made
fortifeations behind Unless properly
tilted, however. they would reflect the
sun, and rcveal the presence of the
battery to observers for miles away

Better Paint

Better paint this year If your
property needs il. Mistaken men have
been waiting for paint to come-down.
The cost Of their job has gone-up not
down; 4 always goes-up by waiting

Better paint than Devoe7 There isn't
any.
Suppose one had waited 20 or 30
years ago for better paint than De-
woe; how long would he still have to

The price gallon makes some differ

steadfastly against commercial poll
tics such az other nations have EN-
ployed I'm China. The plan now pro
posed is expected TO develop an Ameri-
can interest there which will he pow
erful enough TO meet the competition
of other nations.
DR.. Pratt pointed m today that
American capital was piling up as a
result of the European war. and that
vast sums Of idle money are available
for investment. The bureau expects TO
take advantage of every opportunity
now offered In China and to have an
American interest strongly %intrenched
there at the close OF the war.
DR.. Pratt issued a summary OF the
Chinese trade situation which stated in
part:
"A well capitalized American bank
Is necessary to American trade ad-
vancement. China offers splendid in
ducements to American capital I'm min
ing enterprises. especially In tin. zinc,
anthony. lead. coal and iron. HUI
nan province, the most accessible OF
the richer mineral areas. is a particu-
larly inviting field for investment.
"China offers splendid inducements
to American capital and American ma
chinery In connection with the cree
lion OF cotton yarn mills. opportu-
mites for the investment or American
capital are offered In the China rug
making industry for rugs for the Amer
lean market.
American capital and expert man
agement applied to tanning Chinese
hides with a tannery at Kalgan. Tient-
sin or Hankow would be a paying ven
ture.
"China imports annually nearly Sl0,-
100000 (gold) worth OF aniline and syn
thetic dyes. A high grade American
substitute for the European products
could probably secure a great deal OF
this trade, which Is now at a standstill
owing to the lack of supplies.
ION account OF the war China offers
q splendid field for American window
glass of the cheaper grades. Window
glass importations in China net several
million dollars gold each year. and
prices are nearly treble those OF a year
ago.
with the favorable exchange which
exists at the present time. Chinese
! products. which previously went TO Eu.
rope. should find markets I'm America.
Among these are s~esamumseed. vege-
table tallow, hides, egg products. min.
erai products, wood oil. peanuts. bear
oil. gall nuts. etc"
