Unsinkable Cargo Ship Designed
by Italian Naval Con-
structor Pugliese

This Ship Was Constructed with Two
Hulls. The Outer Hull Carries the Coarse
Bulk Cargoes Like Coal or Wheat. The
Inner Hull Carries the More Valuable
Freight and Is Enclosed by Waterproof
Bulkheads. If the Torpedo Strikes and
Explodes in the Outside Cargo the Ship
Would Still Float and the Cargo and Ma
ehinery in the Inner Hull Would Be Safe.
alright wooden boxes and scatter them
throughout the ship II enough of these
little wooden life preservers were slowed
around in the vessel to keep her afloat
after an exploded torpedo had let the
water into the hull-then, behold. the un-
Sinkable ship had been produced! II
seemed to be a sound scheme.
Describing this plan of Mr.. Donnelly's,
the Scientific American explained the tech
nical figures as follows:
In her normal condition the Lucia can
carry 10000 tons OF coal. but with the
boxes installed she carries $500 tons The
total hold capacity of the ship is 5OS,OOO

terror transverse bulkheads are provided
IN each box, and all boxes are covered with
galvanized metal to render them water
tight The various units are constructed
to withstand pressures corresponding to
10, 20 and 30 feet Of water, according to
their location In the ship.
The method Of slowing the boxes is
shown In . perspective view Of one Of the
decks. n viii be noticed that they are
slowed In between the frames Of the hull
and between the deck beams on the under
side of the decks. The boxes are held in
their respective positions by means of bat
tens and threaded bolts, the latter being
hooked into the frames and deck beams,
and the whole system being brought up
snugly into position BY means Of washers
and nuts on the outside Of the battens.
TO render q ship unsinkable, three sep
arate conditions are to be considered.
First, when she Is unloaded; second. when
she IL loaded with mixed cargo, and third
when she is loaded with q dense, heavy
cargo, such as q cargo Of coal For the
frst condition, reserve buoyancy sufficient
to make the ship unsuitable when she is
unIoadsd, is attained by fitting a single
layer Of hotation units between the frames
and deck beams and against the water
Tight transverse bulkheads. Cargo reserve
buoyancy is determined by the nature of
the cargo itself and the cubical area oc-
cupied.
For instance, in the case Of 5,OO0-ton
ship, 56 cubic feet IL allowed per ton.
making q total for that ship Of about
$4,000 cubic feet The reserve buoyancy
units necessary to float the ship when it is
unloadsd equals about 10 per cent Of this
tonnage. or 500 tons. leaving a net tonnage
Of $500 tons or 3S2,oo0 cubic feet. A coal
cargo requires I3 cubic feet Of space per
ton, which on the net tonnage Of $500
tons amounts to 1s3,soo cubic feet.
This is deducted from the total net cubic
feet and leaves reserve space Of $500
cubic feet for reserve buoyancy units to
float the dsad-wsight cargo. 1t is claimed
by the sponsor for this system that the
loss Of cargo space in ship that is self
salVaging Is more than onset by the salv-
aging Of the cargo and Of the ship itself"

The result Of the
explosion Of a torpedo

structure will be to
smash a hole through

The outer wall Of the
powdered coal cylin-
ders in the path Of the
blast will be disrupted,
and the liquid spray
and powdered coal
will be carried along
together and hurled
against the strong
screen centrally locat-
ed in the cylinders; the
gases of the explosion
and liquid spray and
the pulverized coal will
be commingled.
although even this
trong steel screen
should yield or bend
somewhat under the
blast, 1t will not be en-
tirely carried away or
broken through.
"By that time the
gases will be vented
upward through the

the energy Of the blast
will be so absorbed and
dissipated that the in

1t is the purpose of the Liberty
Loan Committee to publish the
names of all subscribers to The
Fourth Liberty Loan 10 both local
papers, Saturday October l9. So
far, a majority of our people have
subscribed very generously. but,
in the opinion of the committee,
we have a good many people who
have not subscribed as much as
they should. and yet others who
did not subscribed at all.
To the people Of the first class
herein named the committee
wishes to express its sincerest
thanks; to those of the second we
invite them to increase the sub
scription; and to the last We ask
them to reflect moment and we
feel sure that their conscience will
guide them to subscribe theil

Two Carloads Of Government Exhib-

Be Shown.

That the government is encourag-

many ways, including its decision -
send exhibits to various state fairs.

State Fair Of Louisiana. October 30 to

In this display all branches Of tho
United States government will be rep

one Of the most popular attractions a:
the fair. Among the particularly in
tsresting exhibits will be specimens
from the Army and Navy Department,
with possibly some souvenirs from
France. Various models. special
pieces of apparatus and instruments
Of different kinds used In investiga-
tions conducted by the governments
bureaus will also Be ON display. An
other article Of special interest will

This big government exhibit promises

uvs and inspiring. and thousands Of
visitors are expected to see 1t.
The war work Of the nation will be
sAown in most impressive manner by
these combined displays. The War
DEPARTMENT. and Navy exhibit can
hardly fail to place Americans more
closely In touch with their boys who
arc making more uneasy the heads
that wear the crowns. There are ma
chine guns. hand grenades, depth

other things used in killing Frttzies.
Every red blooded American should
see this wonderful display. It will be

In arranging to send exhibits to
each state fair and exposition, the
government Is giving splendid evi-
dence of its appreciation of such in
