throughout most of the Ohio river val
ley and appendant country. His labor
was inspired purely by love of his fell
bowman and the apple tree. He asked
no other reward than the appreciation
of his conscience and the appreciation
of those persons whom he sought to
benefit, and in many thousands of In
stances did benefit. He entered upon
this strange but valuable work when
settlers were beginning to set up their
rude huts in the Indian wilderness
along the Ohio river and the other
rivers tributory to 1t. He died while
still engaged in his apple propaganda

and free instruction in the care and Gull
the spring of 1s47, when he was sew
enty-two years old. and at that time
there was no better knownSman than
he in the wide region over which he
travelled, which was nearly always on
foot.
All the old families in Indiana and
Ohio hold this old man in loving re-
membrance and most of the newcomers
into those parts have learned to re-
spect his memory.
In that country there are COUNTLESS
tales and legends concerning Johnny
Appleseed and it Is said that large
numbers of the trees. or at least a good
many of the trees which he grew from
seed, and then budded, are still bear
ing. He was seventy-two years old
when his life work ended. and he had
been spreading the gospel of the apple
since he was a young man. 1t is not
known, or seems not to be known,
when Johnny Appleseed took up this
work, but 1t was certainly not later
than the year 1900. and it may have
been begun ten years earlier. At any
rate he conceived 1t to be his duty to
carry apple trees to the homes Of the
settlers at about the time emigration
from the older states of the east be-
gan to set into the northwest terri

romances told and written about
Johnny Appleseed. but hard facts con-
corning the birth, youth and bring

As Ohio. Indiana, Michigan and IL
linois began to fill with settlers they
ali knew Johnny Appleseed, but then
his hair was beginning to whiten and
his shoulders to stoop, and they did
not learn very much about the youth OF
the man. He distributed seed to those

question. since it reveals her location.
While the beam cannot dazzle the tor
pedo tube crews on the destroyer II
they use tinted glasses, it can be kept
steadily on the advancing craft to aid
the aim of the battleShipS gunners.
For lack of actual war experience in
this mode of night attack, it's value is
still debateable.
Internationally, and especially since
the outbreak of this war, naval in
ventors have advocated replacing the
destroyer by a vessel capable not only
of performing its duty on the surface.
but of submerged running and attack
as we'll. Such a destroyer submersible
would have great military value for
attack on fleets and Notifications. but
practical difficulties seem likely to pre-
vent it's realization.
1t Is possible, of course to construct
a submarine cruiser of any reasonable
size. although increase of displacement
both lessons invisibility under water
and makes the boat slower in diving.
When, however, such a submersible is
required to be as efficient on the sur
face as the destroyer. submarine de-
sisners advance strong and apparently
valid objections to the proposed COM
bination.
In the first place. the destroyer is
speed incarnate. and everything else is
sacrificed to this one quality. She has
a long, lean, shallow hull of the fin
est possible lines, built as lightly as
seaworthiness will permit. Her en-
giRes. the acme of lightness and
strength. are. for her size. of enormous
power, weighing 33 per cent of her
displacement, as compared with per
cent for the dreadnaught. Her pro-
pellers are machined all over for ac
curacy and are then polished like
jewelry. It is evident that, for a ves-
sci to be as effective as the destroyer,
these conditions must be met in their
entirety.
Now. the conventional submarine hull
circular in cross-section to resist eX
ternal pressure-is unsuita BILE for driv-
ing at high speed on the surface. The
destroyer submersible would therefore
require double hull, ship shaped
without and circular within. Such a
hull, substantially built to withstand
pressure, would be necessarily much
heavier than that of the destroyer, thus
reducing the weight available for en-
CINE power and speed. To this excess
weight must be added that of the stor
merged running. Finally, a propeller
has its maximum efficiency only at
the fixed resistance assumed in its de-
sign. The destroyer submersible. on
the contrary. would have two wholly
different resistances-that in surface
running and that when submerged.
since, in the latter case. the body to
be driven through the water not only
differs in shape, but Is greater in VOL

The Benhams high forecastle enables

she has oil-freG. vater-tube boilers
and turbine engines. Her armament
consists o! four twin 1S-inch torpedo

many deStroyers can he reversed, from

change AT high speed and the shallow
draft give these vessels that extreme
mobility which makes them the terror
OF submarines.
While the gun has been Tor centuries
the primary naval weapon. the auto
mobile torpedo, time and again In re
cent years, has seemed to threaten its
supremacy When the time element is
considered the gun is vastly superior
to the torpedo. The rrojectile leaves &

more than ten minutes to traverse that
distance. During this time the gun can
discharge thirty shots, each with a
muzzle energy of 1S,o00 foot tons, so
that before the torpedo reaches its
mark, the gun could have hit that
mark with an aggregate energy of
about $4,000 foot-tons.
When the torpedo scores, however,
