James NJ. Crane of Belfast Has
Confidence in His Invention

Belfast. Me. June 1s.-James NJ. Crane
of Belfast, has invented a submarine de-
stroyer, the success Of which he feels
assured. He has been in correspondence
with tho Navy Department navy yard.
with the Portsmouth navy yard with the
model.
Mr.. Crane is native of Winter Har-
Dor, small fishing village near Bar Har-
Dor, but has lived in Belfast for the past
two years. He is 40 years Of age and had
had 20 years experience as machinist.
working on ships of all kinds. He has
worked on submarines and was at one
time foreman in the navy yard at Quincy,
Mass, and has also worked in Bath and
other places. He has had the idea Of a
submarine destroyer in mind for the past
six or seven years, and says that his de-
vice lis just as sure as fate to sub
marine He also states that he could
take a submarine and convert it into a
submarine destroyer by his device at a
cost of $500 or $500, or he can build tho
craft entirely for around $500.
What 1t wants. declares Mr.! Crane,
lis something that can sink the sub
marine before it goes down, but IL it does
go down something that will follow it
under water to the bottom, and that l
claim my device will do 1t is no torpedo,
and no torpedo tubes are used, or guns.
1t is a mystery of course, at present, un-
til ! am protected, but very practical
idea. Where Simon Lake was lame when
he invented the submarine was that he
didn't invent something to destroy 1t,
but of course he didn't foresee so much
destruction as they are capable of maxi
ing. When l was working on the ships
in Quincy I was all the time thinking OF
what might be devised to destroy them,
but didn't wish to use my idea until my
country needed it,
Mr.. Crane has invented a lock washer
for automobiles and railroads which is
now being patented. His submarine de-
stroyer is built of steel but he claims
that it may be built right here in Bel
fast. His grandfather. Captain Lemuel
G. Crane, was in the Civil War, and
commanded the L. S. S. Uncas, North At
lantc squadron, under Commodore Porter.

Wn|TEP|NE BLISTER RUST.
Cooperation Urged Survey for Dangerous Disease Intro
duced from Germany

between 1904 and 1912 in shipments OF
nursery stock, mostly from Germany.
Between these dates probably 1o,0o0o 600
small white pine trees were imported
most of them coming to the New Eng
land states. Many shipments, how
ever are known to have been made to
the states of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota, and to
have been sent out by nursery-men to
parks, cemeteries and private planters.
A popularity Of the rust parasite Is
that it has two classes of hosts. white
pine and species of RIDES, that IS.
currants and gooseberries. AS far as
known the disease can not pass from
Pine to pine, but must pass from pine
to the currant or gooseberry. and then
back to the pine. On the pines the
disease takes the form of a blister or
cankcr, and has been found on main
stem, branch and twig. On the cur
rant and cooseberry the rust forms
small orange spots or minute orange or
brown hair-like projections on the un-
der side of the leaf. The life history OF
the organism causing the blister rust Is
very similar to that causing the cedar
apple to rust, which spreads from the
red cedar to the apple leaf, and to that
causing the wheat rust which spreads
plant.
The blister rust was first found in
this country on currants in 1906. but
it did not again make it's appearance
until 1909.
