GERMAN SUB CREWS

Crews Of the German submarines are

this fact. In the official, records of

submarine crews are described as
Here is one description: Master
and crew all agree and were very
much struck BY the pallid appearance
Of the officers and crew of the sub
marine, and by their nervous and ex-

submarine was continually urging
haste and the officer who was placing
the bombs could hardly hold them

or excuse rthemselve1 to their fellow

the hideeusncss Of the German fight

compared with the classic story Of
German bestia lity, u. in the Gaze Of,

When Your Plow Turns
Up Unexploded
Shells

TN THE early days of the war, accord
ing to "The Electrical Experimenter, !"
it frequently happened that the French
farmers would run their ploughs into un-
exploded shells buried a few feet in the
ground, with oftentimes fatal results.
One of the French army engineers
thought Of novel electrical scheme for
accurately locating these buried shells,
thousands of which had landed in the fer
tile fields along the one-time firing line.
His idea involved the application of an
extra large size Hughes's balance, an in
strument we'll known to every electrician.
The exploring coils of this shell-locating
electrical balance are mounted on a light
two-wheeled truck, as shown in the illus
tration, so that the operatives using the
device can propel it over the ground at
fairly rapid rate. The exploring work
has to be done reasonably slowly in order
to note the indications of the instrument.
The necessary battery and current inter-
rupting devices are mounted in sub
stantial container on the chassis, along
with the locating coils.

An Extraordinary Gun
by a Boston
Man

TIME powderless, centrifugal gun
4 has long been the laughing
stock of ordnance experts, ac-
cording to "The Scientific American"
in speaking Of the latest weapon of that
type. This is the invention of a Boston
man.
"This weapon which is driven by an cleo
trio motor, is said to shoot $4,000 round
steel missiles a minute, or 555 a sec
ond. At present the inventor is not in
a position to give details concerning his
gun, except to state that it operates on
the principle of a sling. Each bullet is
twirled on a disk at a great rate of speed
and then released. The ammunition is fed
through funnel-likc arrangement leading
into two veins which centre upon an
opening through which the missiles are
hurled with great velocity.
"In recent test, the inventor claims, the
gun was turned on to sheets of u inch stac,
several hundred feet away. The bullets
whipped through the steel as if it were
paper. The missiles small steel balls
similar to ball bearings"

binding material, much as hair is used
in mortar; but such an explanation is
scarcely satisfying when it is remem-
bered that the straw fibre is very
weak one. Alexander Findlay says in
his "Chemistry in the Service of Man"
Iongmans, Green & co.,:
about fourteen years ago it was found
by DR.. E. G. Acheson, to whom we owe the
discovery of carborundum and the process
of making artificial graphite, that when clay
is mixed with a dilute solution of tannin
it becomes much more plastic, and the
strength of the dried brick is, moreover,
greatly increased. Although straw does
not contain tannin, it was found that when
straw is treated with water the extract OBJ
tanned has the same action on clay as
tannin has, the Elasticity of the clay and
the hardness of the brick being greatly in
creased"

The new device is merely an adaptation
of the chain doors which have been in

A Bit of Dialect of the
Macon Variety

\HE Hon. Bridges Smith, of Macon
Ga, is the author of series of
dialect sketches which are pub-
llshed from time to time in "The Macon
Telegraph" and might some day be
done into book, if Mr.. Smith ever found
the leisure to attend to it. Most of tho
time Mr.. Smith is either city editor of
Inc Macon Telegraph" or Mayor of
Macon. and part of the time he is both.
and either job is enough to keep the
average man busy.
Here is one of his dialect stories.
When Henrietta carried in the buck

rietta once expressed it, on toast and coffee
while waiting for the cakes, and in the
meanwhile writing on piece of paper
Henrietta also noticed that the lady of
the house was looking serious that morning.
This and the writing at the breakfast table
being such an unusual thing, she was sore
ly puzzled.

Trapping a Submarine

NJ EW methods of trapping the u
boat are constantly coming to
light in spite Of the secrecy maintained
IN British naval circles regarding means
to defeat the submarine. The following
vivid account is quoted by 'The Scien-
titic American" from "The Liverpool
Journal of Commerce.:
"A scaplane had spotted a submarine
lying on the sea bed Instantly the OBJ
servers fnger commenced to tap a key,
and ten miles away long, lean destroyer
and four squatty trawlers detached them
selves from a pack of hounds working a
covert and hastened to the kill. Meanwhile
the seaplane circled around, but when the
surface ships arrived her instructions, de-
llVered by wireless, were curt and precise
Acting upon them, the trawlcrs stationed
themselves at the four corners of wet
quadrangle, while the destroyer kept her
guns ready to talk to the enemy should he
appear above the surface.
1.-The trawlers at the corners of the quad
rangle got out their sweeps-long wire
tawsers of an incredible stoutness, with q
heavy Kite in the centre to keep their
bghts down on the sea bed-and CON-
menced to steam toward each other AS
TIE pairs of vessels met, their wires stimuli
taneously engaged themselves under the
U-boat's bow and stern and commenced to
work their sinuous way between her hull
and tho sea bottom.
"Then the strange thing happened. Two
round black objects seemed to detach
themselves from her hull and float surface
ward, to hover a second and then to COM
nence bobbing down the tide-bobbing
down lane much frequented by those
ships that brought food, munitions of war
and hundreds of other things to England's
shore.
"'Mine layer, Ell? called the seaplanc's
observer.
"That's it, lad came the tclephored an
swcr but her eggs can wait for minute.
"The trawlers now crossed their de-
pendent cables and thus held the C-boat in
kind OF cats cradle. She seemed sud-
denly 10 YAK uu to her danger, for with n
bound she tried to dsengage herself from
the meshes which held her. But it was
no use; The trawlers had been too long at
The game to leave any loopholes and tho
submarine was doomed.
"'Got him. signalled the seapane
"'Thanks, replied the destroyer.
"'Wc'll give him five minutes to come
,p and breathe. but no longer That time
passed but still the submarine made no
further move.
"At tagged signal from the destroyer
the port foremost trawler and the star
board after one clipped small red tin
Of high explosive to the bartaut wire and
allowed it TO slide down till it touched the
U-boat's hull. 1t was the seaplane's turn
to wave flag and Immediately there fol-
lowed the crashing of two fists upon two
firing keys; the uprising of two gray
mounds of water and rumblng, mutrlci
explosion.
1.-THE seaplane circlcd twice above the
pntch Of rising oil, asccrtsined that the
German had been DESTROYED and natided
