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 80 feet of water, according to
their location in the ship.
The method Of slowing the boxes Is
shown In a perspective view OF one OF the
decks. 1t will 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 hattens
TO render ship unsuitable, three sep.
arateo conditions are to be considered.
First, when she is unloaded; second, when
she is loaded with E. mixed cargo, and third
when she is loaded with dense, heavy
cargo, such as cargo of coal. For tho
first condition, reserve buoyancy sufficient
to make the ship unsuitable when she is
unloaded, Is attained by fitting single
layer Of flotatlon 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 a 5,O00-ton
ship, sc cubic feet is allowed per ton.
making n total for that ship of about
100000 cubic feet. The reserve buoyancy
units necessary to float the ship when it is
unloaded equals about 10 per cent OF this
tonnage, or 500 tons, leaving net tonnage
OF $500 tons or $4,000 cubic feet coal
cargo requires 43 cubic feet of space per
ton, which on the net tonnage of 4,500
tons amounts to 193,5O0 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 lightweight cargo. 1t is claimed
by the sponsor for this system that the
loss OF cargo space in a ship that is self
salvaging is more than Offset by the salv-
aging OF the cargo and OF the ship ITSELF"

How the U-Boat
Menace Has
Stimulated Inventors
to Design Steamships
Which Are Almost
Impossible to Sink

THE result Of the
explosion OF a torpedo
warhead against this
structure will be to
smash a hole through
the hull wall, carrying
forward a large mass
OF the water or oil of
the barrier and hurting
the liquid upon and
through the first steel
screen, bending the
screen somewhat.
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 pulyerized coal will
be commingled.
Although even this
s,rong steel screen
should yield or bend
somewhat under the
blast. it will not be en-
tirely carried away or
broken through.
"By that time the
gases will be vented
upward through the
top Of the cylinders
into the atmosphere;
the energy Of the blast
will be so absorbed and
dissipated that the In
board wall OF the cylin-
ders-that is to say,
the bulkhead consti-
tuted by the inner wall
Of the cylinders-will
be entirely uninjured
and cannot be broken
through. Consequently.
the only amount OF
water that can enter
the ship will be that
which will fill the
space between the
transverse bulkheads
and the inner wall OF

Washington County Dried Up.

The ffty-odd liquor saloons Of Wash
ington county, Md, closed their doors
Tuesday night at II o'clock, for under
the law and in accordance with the vote
Of the people there can be no liquor sold
in the county during the next two years.
There is little likelihood that there
will ever again be an open saloon in the
county. The saloon-keepers sold out
their stocks pretty closely. Home GUS
toners and boozers from Virginia and
West Virginia took advantage of the last
chance to lay in their stocks for the dry
times ahead, and many automobiles
were fully loaded with stuff to be
brought home under cover of darkness.
In Wlliamsport there was hot time,
with many fights among the drunken
men who assembled for the last souse.
Sharpsburg was comparatively quiet,
and Hagerstown had sold out most Of
its wet goods before the final hours.
AS Frederick county went dry at the
same time, there will now be no liquor
saloons nearer this section in Maryland
than Cumberland and Ellicott City. The
towns of Creencastle and Waynesboro
in Pennsylvania will probably be the
goals of the booze-hoisters from this
section, but it is intimated that those
who persistently violate the law against
bringing liquor into this State will now
be watched more closely and arrested
in order to stop the traffic.
Shepherdstown will be good deal
benefited by the closing of the saloons
A great many reckless and irreSponsi-
BILE Automobiles have made this Sec
ton highway for their whiskey jitneyS,
at times making our roads unsafe for
respectable folks and causing good
deal of annoyance in one way and an
other. 1t is now hoped that this nui-
sance will be materially abated.
Most of the saloon-keepers who have
been put out of the liquor business are
going into other occupations. In Ha-
gerstown a large number of the saloons
will be turned into stores, while few
of the dealers will conduct soft drink
places and restaurants.
