TO TEST P[AN TO MAKE
SHIPS SUDMAR|NE::P|R0OF
Hudson Maxim's Device Will Be
Tried Out By the Ship, =
ping Board.

"A plan devised by Hudson Maxim for
rendering ships unsuitable from tor
pedo explosions is to be tested by the
shipping board. officials Of the board
stated last night that it had been de-
cided some start should be made toward
making vessels submarine proof. and
the initial experiments are to"be made
with MIR. Maxim's device.
Out OF several thousand suggestions
made. the ship protection committee. OF
which John A. Donald is the head. has
selected several, one of which is the
Maxim plan. for special tests.
Mr.. Maxim's Description.
AS described by Mr.. Maxim to a Sem
ate committee after the shipping board
first made an unfavorable report on the
device, a row of cylinders containing
water would be placed around the in
terror of vessels hull: Back Of the
cylinders would be steel screen. Ex-
plosion of a torpedo would atomize the
water against the screen, the vapor dis
persing the heat and absorbing the
gases which cause the damage in an
explosion. Mr.. Maxim said a cargo of
apples or potatoes, which contain a
high percentage of water, would work
equally well.
