Wezmiller says that there is liable TO

He offers the following advice as a
remedy:
Don't bunch over your knitting; sit
upright, and when your mind tells you
you have knitted enough, quit. There
are $50 days in year, and you can't

Early Submarines

The modern submarine is the result
Of the slow development OF an idea
and the cumulative work of many in
ventors. Successful experiments in
submarine navigation were made con-
Siderably more than 100 years ago. In

don periodical. published a picture OF
a submarine boat that was being Op-
Grated on the Thames. 1t was invent

named Bushnell built a submarine boat
which was used IN actual warfare, but
with little or no effect It embodied
some OF the features Of the modern
submarine. Between 1876 and 1910
Robert Fulton, American inventor of
the steamboat. built several subma-
rines which served to demonstrate the
feasibility OF underwater navigation.
but he died before completing his ex-
periments. Experiments and inven-
lions continued in several different
countries until the present fighting
machine was developed.

the propeller, and 100 cartridges for each gun
Returning now to the bombing machines, the
tvDes best known are the German GOtha which
is virtually copy OF the British Handley-PaImer'
and the Italian Capron The dimensions of the
latter cannot be given, for the machines are in
several Sizes the smaller being biplanes, the
largest being a triplane- Those of the Gotha u
III are known. It is a biplane with wing spread
of III feet and fuseage 403S feet long; it can go
96S miles hour, ascend 14S50 feet and carry
load OF 1920 pounds of bombs besides at least two
men.
1t was necessary put three planes the
larger CaprOni, in order to carry the immense
weight at high speed. 1t has three fuselages,
each with its own motor, the one in the middle
being much shorter than the others The right
and left fuselages have propellers in front, the
middle fuselage has propeller behind The mo-
tors 240-hOrse-power Isotta-Fraschin
The Caproni are slow machines-Ony about 90
miles an hour-and is capable of fighting single
handed against the little wasps of the air. They
unique in that any one of their motors suf-
fees to prOpel the machine; therefore, all three
must be stopped by bullets before it is disabled.
In this last respect its only rival is-so far as
known at present writing-the great German
GOtha which has two motors, either Of which will
prOpel it.
One of the most striking facts about the evolu-
ton of air craft since the began is that the
mOnOpane has virtually disappeared. Quite early
in the the French Newport grew extra
pair of wings The principal reason why two
pairs are better than one is that lifting power In
the air depends upon the of the wings. Now
the GOthaS two pairs OF wings are III feet long
and 1926 feet wide, which gives area of $50
square feet for each pair, LBS square feet as
the total wing surface If this all in a single
plane the wing would have to be about 153 feet
long if they had the same breadth as now and
the leverage of the wind their ends would be
great that the machine would be absolutely IN
manageable
For this same reason the biggest of the Capron
which is by far the largest thing in the air, has
three planes instead OF two.
The GOtha is. however than bombing
machine; it is a veritable aerial battleshfp. Over
its bow a swivel is a machine gun that can
shoot forward horizontal arc OF more than
$50 degrees, and over a perpendicular Of
about 240 degrees. On its fuselage, behind its
wings and behind the propelers, is another gun
that shoots astern horizontal of nearly
$50 degrees and over perpendicular OF about
100. Besides these two guns the GOtha has q
third mounted pivot in the body OF the fusel-
age and pointing dOwnwards, through a port hole
