ASKED FOR U-BOATS In 1895.

In 1885 the United States Navy De-
partment advertised for plans for
submarines. Three hundred thousand
dollars had been appropriated to con-
struct a submarine boat built in ac-
cordance with the best designs sub
mitted in competition. My father
submitted plans which were finally ac-
cepted This boat was built from the
money appropriated by the govern
ment at the time, and was known as
the first Plunger. She was built by
the Columbia Iron Works. Baltimore,
in 1894, and was propelled by steam
engines.
After the Plunger was abandoned.
the Holland Company went to Lewis
Nixon. who was at that time the pro-
prietor of the Crescent Shipyard in
Elizabethport, n. ]. He said that he
would build a hull under certain con-
ditions. My father said: ''All right.
go ahead" and construction was
started in the fall of 1897. Before the
work progressed very far a wealthy
woman OF New York gave US $500 TO
6efray expenses.
This boat was launched shortly
after the destruction OF the battleship
Maine, and it was pretty closely
watched during that period. Her first
trial was made on ST. PatriCk's Day,
1S9S. When they first tried to sub
merge it was found that the boat had
too much reserve buoyancy. so they
took pig iron on board for ballast.
From that time on the eyes of the
world were concentrated on her as
really the first successful submarine
boat.-John p. Holland, jr.. in the
Scientific American Supplement.

AN UMBRELLA BATHOUSE.

Two novel uses for an umbrella are
told of in a recent issue of Popular
Mechanics. The mind of woman de-
vised them both.
Picknickers desiring to go in bath
ing are often handicapped by the lack
OF a convenient place to change
clothes. An umbrella and some paper
muslin provides light. portable tent
that is practical and inexpensive for
such uses. Cut the dark paper muslin
into as many nine-foot lengths as
there are sections of the umbrella.
Sew these strips together. At each
seam tie a string about a yard long
and stout cord fifteen feet long to
the handle to hold up the tent. For use.
open the umbrella. invert it and to
each rib tie one of the strings. Then
tie one end OF the cord to the handle
of the umbrella and suspend II from
a tree or other support. weighing or

suddenly apply the brakes. If one
wheel slides while the other is re-
volving. it may be taken for granted
that the brakes are not holding with
equal effectiveness.
Graphite the Rims.
This is a good time TO apply some
graphite to the rims so that they
will not rust. A good graphite grease
or plain graphite may be used for
this purpose.
waterproofng the Top.
Double-boiled linseed oil may be
used to waterproof the top. The oil
should be spread evenly over the fab
ric with fine brush. Naturally two
coats of the linseed Will give better
results than one.
Driving the New Car.
Many owners in driving their first
cars make the mistake of keeping
the spark advanced all the time,
even on grades, provided no knock

ly to cause premature wearing OF
motor bearings. When an engine
is new the piston-t -to-cylinder clear

whites every eighty years. There are
S43 languages and dialects in use
among the blacks of Africa. Only a
few OF the languages have been re-
dueed to writing. Thirty-five years
ago the export of cocoa from the gold
coast amounted to $50 Today it is
over $4,000. The coal fields of
Africa aggregate 10000 square miles;
its copper fields equal those of North
America and Europe combined, and
it has undeveloped iron ore amount

Of railroad mileage as the United
states according to its size, it would
have a million miles of track instead
OF the 2j,0OJ miles now in operation.
One area in Africa unoccupied by mis-

highway commissioners ind them
selves in a difficult position. between
a tendency on the part Of State leg
islatures. county commissioners and
township boards to economic by cut
ting down highway appropriations and
the demands Of commerce and agTicul-
ture for better highway facilities to
move an increased volume of produc-
ton at a time when there is unpreee-
dented railroad freight congestion.
There are ways In which the situa-
tion can be met successfully, accord
ing to II. W. Perry. secretary of the
good roads committee OF the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce.
who says that labor and materials
constitute the largest items in road
work and therefore offer the greatest
possibilities in economy.
In deciding upon the kind Of road &c
build. he says that type should be Sc
lected for which the materials can oe
bought at least expense, delivered, and
which will require the least labor IN
producing a finished road, always pro-
vi6ed, however, that the material Is
suited to the kind and amount of uaf-
fc the road win have to bear.
Advise Traffic Census.
a traffic census should first be taken,
the probable increase OF traffic after
reconstruction of the road calculated
and then an estimate made Of the
probable cost Of maintenance Of differ
ent types of road under such traftc
for a period of years-from ten 10
twenty. This maintenance cost, plus
interest. should be added to first cost
OF construction. This will determine
which of several types viii be most
economical. 1t is false economy TO
choose a kind OF road merely because
it will cost less to build than moro
durable road.
One Of the things that makes road
building costly is the fact that II

states to let contracts for many

TEXAS CITIES PROGRESSIVE.

or the eighty-one cities in the United
States that have adopted the city
manager plan. or some modification OF
IL. Texas leads with twelve cities.
Texas was the father Of the commits
sion form OF government idea. and
seems destined also to lead In the
movement TO adopt the city manager
plan. The following Texas cities have
adopted the latter plan outright;
Amarillo. Brownsville. Denton. San
Angelo, Taylor, Tyler. Bryan Sher-
man and Yoakum- Brownwood,
league and Terrell have adopted
modified forms OF the city manager
plan. Salaries are paid Texas city
managers ranging from sl.2oo to sS.evo

short pieces of road, often for sec
tions Of less than a mile. Such jobs
are too small to warrant the use
of equipment for doing the work in
the cheapest way. IL big contrac-
tors could bid on sections of ten
to fifty miles of continuous road
work. they could erect rock-crush-
ing or gravel-sifting plants. lay
light narrow-gauge railways and
temporary water-pipes, set up large
mixing and heating plants, use mo-
tor trucks in large numbers, and
where extensive cutting and filling
or grading are required, could en-
ploy excavators or other suitable
power machinery on large scale.
Cost VIII BE Less.
By such methods the cost per
mile of construction will be mate
rally less than where the same
amount of mileage is divided into
many scattered small sections. The
result viii be more satisfactory to
the public also. as there will be
continuous good roads that start
somewhere and go somewhere.
Intelligent carrying out of a poll
icy of true economy in highway
work under present conditions calls
for the services of thoroughly quail
fed road engineers who understand
the economics of their profession
as well as its purely engineering
phases.
1t is further imperative that the
work OF road building and main
tenance be removed from political
influences, as such influence is re-
sponsible for the uneconomical poll
icy of spotting the road maps with
sample quarter, half and mile bits
of improved road that begin and
end in botomless mud. deep sand or
other stretches of bad road. A high
way. like a chain, is not better than
its poorest section, as it is the

size of the loads that can be hauled

Spare Tire Destruction.

One of the factors making for de-
terioration of the spare tire Is the ex-
haust. The heat and corroding gases
issuing from the exhaust, right near
the spare when 1t is carried in the
rear. tend to impair the rubber and
shorten the life of the tire, even
more than if 1t had been in active
service.
Terminal Corrosion.
II trouble develops in the battery,
which upon examination is found to
be up to normal. and yet is not de-
livering enough current to furnish
lights nor spark enough to ignite the
fuel. the basic fault will very pos
sibly be found in corrosion of the
terminals. When the terminals are
covered with hard green deposit, no
current can flow. Sometimes this
deposit is so hard that it takes a
chisel to remove il,
Lighting Troubles.
Owners of cars wired by the single
wire method should examine the
ground connections at frequent inter-
walls. \ loose or corroded ground will
often cause dim burning. and some
times it may eliminate all flow of cur
rent.
Dash Illumination.
The substitution of blue Dr. for
the ordinary Clear one, which iIlumi-
mates the dash. has certain advan-
tages. The blue light is brilliant
enough to afford ready reading of
the various instruments. and yet all
back glare is eliminated Moreover,
the blue light rather improves the ap-
pearance of the compartment at
night.
Testing Levels.
When testing the oil lever by open
ing the lever cocks i'm the crank case,
it is essential to run a wire through
the cock before concluding that the
level is low. 1t frequently happens
that sediment settles over the level
cocks and prevents the flow of oil in
spite of the fact that there is plenty
in the reservoir.
To Prevent SkiddInE.
Unequally adjusted rear wheel
brakes are a potent cause OF skid
ding, and IT is wise to make frequent
tests of the parts for incorrect ad-
Justment. 1t is necessary to have
some one with you to watch the
wheels. Drive the car along a dry
