Law on Pulling Down Trousers Leg.
1t Is hard to believe that man who
was sober would spend half minute,
or seven seconds, In pulling down one
leg of q pair Of trousers. But We can
not say as matter Of law that II he
was sober he did not do so. What we
do say, however. Is that when a man
has at least the whole highway, includ-
ing sidewalk devoted to foot passen-
gers alone, to choose from. it is not the
act Of d prudent man who wants to
pull down one leg of his trousers to
select a street railway track eight Sec
onds around and away from a corner
from which an electric car may emerge
at any moment, and to stoop over to
pull down his trousers without again
looking up until he is run oversee

Piles who dwell on the shores of the Seven
Seas has made part of the Nordics' intell-

"And so the argument runs that the over
whelming of the Nordic stock in Germany
by the Alpine invasion has resulted in in
tellectual and moral deterioration, while
there has been military development along
lines of unparalleled brutality. Thus the
otherwise incxplicable barbarity of the Ger
man armies finds a plausible explanation.
"A few hundred years ago the so-caled
Germanic peoples were preponderantly leu
tonic, but the Alpine stock has steadily
crowded northward, supplanting the Nordic
stock as it underwent defamation in the
course of interracial strife in pre-empire
days and during the terrible slaughter Of

might be employed, the first worning on the
principle that the rotating disk be driven in
an opposite direction to that of the aero
plane, which will in this case tend to quick
ly decelerate and come to stop. The sec
ond arrangement would be to use large
electromagnetic, as shown herewith, and in
this case the revolving disk could be driven
IN the same direction as that followed by
the allghting plane, and by applying the
current to the magnets gradually, and thus
increasing their strength, the speed of the
alightlng plane and its attached iron arma-
ture would be reduced by co-action with
the electromagnetic in such way as to
simulate mechanical friction of gradually
increasing magnitude.
1T thus becomes evident that those in
charge of the plant, and stationed in an OBJ
servation tower on the roof, may readily
exert perfect control over the accelerator

Subs and Subs

NUBMARINES, as classified by the
average person unfamiliar with
~ them, would be simply German
and others. But there is more
technical subdivision of the species, &C
cording to S. w. Clatworthy, who writes
in 1.-The London Graphic" as follows:
underwater vessels fall, structurally and
tactically, into two main heads-subma-
rines proper and submersibles Structural
ly, the difference lies chiefly in the dispo-
sitlon and amount OF the water ballast,
which, as everybody knows, is admitted into
special tanks, forming a large proportion
OF the total bulk, to effect submergence.
The submarine proper has a single cigar
shaped hull, of approximately circular Sec
ton, within which these tanks are placed
at the sides and bottom amidships, and oc-
cupying both ends. They are necessarily
limited in size and give when empty only
a small surplus buoyancy. In a submersi-
Bile the tanks are exterior to this hull, and
between 1t and an outer hull Of boat shaped
form, nightly built, as it has not to with
stand underwater pressure, this being taken
when the tanks are full by their inner wall
the circular hull. The tanks may thus be
enlarged indefinitely, but are limited by
strategic considerations, the handling of
too large volume of water prolonging un-
duly the critical period of diving.
Upon these structural distinctions FOL
low, more less, the tactical differences
and the two resultant phases have been
clearly instanced in the naval war All
U-boats are submersibles; and the U-boat
campaign illustrates, neglecting for the
moment It's peculiarly brutal side, some
thing Of their tactics. Because of their
large surplus, or reserve of buoyancy
they ride high in the water, allowing the
crews to spend a considerable time in the
open air; the decks form reasonably good
gun platforms, and the shipshape hulls.

them seaworthy and comfortable and give

ance of her crew; she rarely carries a gun.
is slower and rides low in the water. She
is the better boat submerged, diving more
quickly and having greater speed, due to
the superior stream-lining of her hull, to-
gether with greater man9uvring power.
The U. S. coastal minelayers, similarly con-
dltloned, are also submarines proper
France, the pioneer country. has built
most of her fine boats to the designs of
NJ. Laubeuf, who, with the instructive fac
ulty of the true engineer, long ago made
the distinction between submersble and sub
marine, and, indeed, designed the first
double-hull boat, the Narval. The Hun III
was built in imitation of his later type, the
Algrette, but two years afterward, and when
France, America and England all possessed

many underwater boats. The Austro-Hun.
also INITIATIVE has departed but little from
the American Holland type in his White
head. The Holland is the most famous of
submarines proper.
British boats have been evolved from
the original Holland, but developed =. dis
tlnctlve form, neat workmanlike and sen
worthy design typical of English naval con-
strucNon. In all these types a non-water-
.isht superstructure, which does not, there
lore, affect submergence, runs almost from
end to end, supporting the deck and
covering various excrescences of the huIl

the outer hull is cut off and the boat en-

structure, which carries a fine broad deck.

The vessels already mentioned do not
exhaust the list of successful submarine
craft, yet, despite this multiplicity, the sub

Pennsylvania Terminal. Several aero
plane concerns have measured the roof
and reported that it was entirely suitable
Tor planes to alight on and start from.
They propose building an aeroplane ac-
celebrating and decelerating machine for
starting and stopping the planes at
cost of something like $4,000.
"The Electric Experimenter" for Au-
gust presents drawing to show Just how
the whirling disk would speed the planes
on their way by centrifugal force, and
would slow up the planes that alight on
the roof. The device it describes as fol-
lows:
at resembles in general carrousel or
merry -go-round, by which means the aero
planes are supposed to be spun around in
starting until their propellers have attained
sufficient speed and then be suddenly re-
leased, when they will be thrown of the
disk tangentially by centrifugal force by
means of quick acting release clutch or,
better still, by the utilization of powerful
electromagnetic arranged around the cleo
trio motor-driven disk as proposed by Mr..
II. Gernsback in the June issue of The
Electrical Experimental

posed to prove efiicacious in decelerating or
