superstructure Of Supposed Merchant
man colIapses, Revealing Big Gun
by Which Submarine ls Sent
to the Bottom.

New York.-The latest use adopted
by the British navy to sweep the seas
Of the German submarines was related
by Mr.. Frank F. Boulton, who was a
passenger ON board the Noordam OF
the Holland-American line. Mr.. Boul-
ton received his information from Cap.
tain Anderson of the Norwegian
steamship Vitalia, who asserted that
he witnessed the destruction Of a
U-boat by British cruiser.
According to the Norwegian captain.
Mr.. Boulton said. several of the Brit
ish light cruisers have been disguised
as merchantmen. with false tunnels
and superstructure.
The Vitalia was in the channel when
she saw merchant vessel, flying the
British flag. stopped short distance
from her by a submarine. The subma-
rine. awash, ran close to the British
vessel, and her coming tower opened.
The German hailed the merchantmen,
when through their glasses the Vital
las captain saw the superstructure
Of the British vessel suddenly col
lapse, revealing a large gun. The
next instant the gun was fired. blow
ing the submarines coming tower
away. and the U-boat sank in a swirl
of frothing water The commander Of
the submarine and one other man
were saved by the English vessel. the
Norwegian captain said.
Mr.. Boulton while in Holland found
out two clever schemes of the Ger
mans to smuggle contraband OF war
through Dutch territory. he said. Ger.
man agents in Holland had gathered
large quantities of copper, which was
nodded into the shape of anchors. Ger.
man barges and other light craft COM
ing down the Rhine to Dutch ports
would leave their iron anchors, re-
placing them with the copper imple-
ments. painted black. The false an.
chors, hung in full view on the cat.
heads of the German boats. would be
taken back on the return trip. This
ruse was discovered by the British
agents in Holland and reported to the
Dutch authorities, who now inspect
every anchor on German vessels.
For obtaining benzine and gasoline
the Germans had another trick. A
Dutch railroad inspector. inspecting a
trainload of cement building blocks
bound for Germany. accidentally
tapped one of the bricks with ham
mer The block cracked and benzine
gushed out. The blocks were hollow
and each one was filled with the
precious liquid. This practice has, OF
course. been stopped.
Passengers on board the Noordam
had the war brought close to them
from the moment the vessel left Rot
terdam until she had put the British
coast far astern. The Noordam was
surveyed by German taubes off the
coast of Holland. was boarded by Brit
ish officers while at Deal. when seven
of her passengers. said to be Austrians,
were arrested and taken ashore. and
was held up four days in the Downs
before she was allowed to proceed.
The Noordam carried 81 first and
139 second cabin passengers and 1856
persons in her steerage.

How SCIENCE Actually Measures the HEAT Of the STARS

In this connection: rIf we may de-
tect and measure heat from sources
millions Of miles away, why may we
not. by the aid of such wizards as
Edison and Bell, be placed in posses-
sion of an instrument as wondertnl
as the radiation pyrometer which
would transmit to us the sounds from
the planets which may haye tFemen-
dous human activities? And who
can deny that there are not other
inhabited spheres?
"Then would we have the real
music of the spheres You know
that Hudson Maxim has said that g
sound, once given expression. never
dies, but goes on forever! And aero
nauts give Testimony to the fact that
they have caught, high in the air.
arising from the earth with thrilling
suddenness, an organ,like strain of
unaccustomed melody-probably the
harmonious blending of the EARRING
dissonances of the busy world of men
and machines.
"Of course, there might not be
much practical value in catching the
music OF the spheres. but the man
who turns his technical skill to It
with the same measure OF success
that has attended Coblentz with heat
will earn big place in the history
OF universal progress. Then, too, It
might be the stepping stone to the
great scientific dream Of talking to
Mars!"
