LIND BEING GROOMED AS
Il u, S. SENATE CANDIDATE

Washington. Jan. 16--Washing-
ton is beginning to look upon John
Lind, former governor of Minnesota,
as a possible candidate for the United
States Senate. Mr.. Lind's recent at
titude in connection with labor trou-
bles in Minnesota and his recent ap-
pointment to the board Of labor medi-
alton are looked upon as indications
of his intention.
It is not expected that Mr.. Lind
would be a candidate against Knute
Nelson. His presumed senatorial as
pirations are said to be based upon
the assumption that Senator Nelson
will not be a candidate for re-elec-
tion, that the Republican field will
be split up and that minority can
didate can take advantage of the
farcial Minnesota primary. Rumor
still continues to have it that Con-
gressman C. r. Davis would like to
get into the field as candidate for
senator. He undoubtedly would have
the support Of the anti-war element.

tions of every heavily laden vessel ana
this mode of attack is nearly iayaria-

A warship is usually equipped wifi

Of the ship, dividing it into hajves

Always Go Down
One End First

Theoretically a vessel might sink on
parallel keel. descending horizontally
deeper and deeper into the sea; but i.
never occurs in reality. This hypoth-
csis assumes that ship has taken in
at the bow exactly the same amount
Of water as at the stern, at exactly the
same distance from the centre of gray
ity; this, of course, is impossible.
Besides. the holes through which the
water is pouring in must also be z.
precisely the same level, or else the
water pressure would be greater at one
end than at the other. and the slight
est alteration Of level would occasion
greater intake Of water and upset the
equilibrium of the boat.
There is one other point | will touch
upon. 1t has often been asserted.
especially in romanccs of the ocean.
that as q ship sinks the suction creates
tremendous whirlpool which engulfs
all things iQ its vicinity. This state.
ment is naturally very much exagger-
ated. People swimming about may be
drawn down by the suction of the
foundering ship. but, in my opinion
no lifeboat which is we'll manned is
in danger Of this whirlpool.
Even old sailors, deluded bv this
superstition. have rowed away in haste
from q sinking ship. when they might
have stood by and saved many lives.

lime Of Sinking
Depends on Cargo

The velocity with which a ship sinks
depends on the size of the hold and its
distance from the ships centre of grav-
ity' Tor the suction occurs more rapid
~ If the ship is struck at either end
than If the blow is delivered amid
ships.
We are seldom concerned with ships
having empty holds; those we pursue
usually carry heavy cargoes. and,
'hefe1ofe. the water can only penetrate
",'nin' wnerc space and air exist:
Whatever air is left around loosely
packed bales and boxes must be driven
out before the water can stream IN.
certain exceptional cargoes, like wool
and cereals. absorb a given amount. Of
water. but these can be discounted.
Accordingly the air must escapc
through existing holes, as the water
pcuring IN drives the air into the hold:
the pressure with which the water
comes IN Is equal 10 the air pressure in
the hold. 49,
1t is quite conceivable that carro
may be so closely packed that there
VIII be no space left for air to cscape.
but TINS is hardly ever the case; fire.
uuently. however, the cross sections Of
the air vents are so small that the air
escapes only very slowly, and the water
eaters very slowly in the same ratio;
under these conditions it would take
long time for u ship to sink.
rms undoubtedly is very desirable
in peace time, but in time Of war this
is not at all agreeable to our purpose:
tlrst, ii the found ring of the vessel is
prolonged we are prevented from ac-
conlplshing other work, and, secondly.
warshlps may come to the assistance
CT a sinking steamer
Whenever possible we found il cy-
pedient to break open with an axe big
noles in The lockers in case the hatch
could not be quickly enough removed:
or, ii circumstances did not permit OF
our doing this. we shot holes with our
cannon into the upper part Of the
steamer, above the hold, so that the
