U. S. Fighting Plane Has
Two Propellers, One Motor

WASHINGTON.-The war depart
ment announced successful compile
ton Of tests of two-propellered
airplane powered with single mo-
tor.
The twin propellers, operating in
opposite directions, were expected
to solve number of aviation prob
lens resulting from constantly in
creasing power of airplane motors.
The propellers are operated on sep
arate drive shafts, one enclosed
within the other. The propellers are
mounted one Immediately behind
the other, and both in front of the
motor and the plane.
The tests were carried out with a
small single-seater fighting plane.
They indicated that the use of the
dual propeller would enable plane
builders to reduce the size of the
propeller and eliminate engine
torque without the loss of propeller
efficiency at high speeds.

MAP OF TINY
EARTH WAVES
St. Louis University in Mis-
souri, Installs Sensa-
tive SeismOgraph
FOUR NOW IN USE

ST. LOUIS.-Four seismographs,
the first to be designed specifically
for the detection of minute earth
movements, have been installed at
St. Louis university to obtain def
mite data about the oscillating phe-
nomenon.
The seismographs can detect mi
croseisma, or earth waves that
cause the earth's crust to vibrate
within a range Of 1,000th of an inch,
with accuracy not previously OBJ
tanned, university professors said.
Construction was made possible
through a $4,000 research fund raised
a year ago.
The purpose of the new seismo-
graphs is to find some definite facts
about microseisma of which many
theories have been advanced. The
vibrations, believed to travel along
the surface of the earth and some
times reaching a depth Of 25 miles,
travel at the rate Of three miles an
hour, it was said.
Reverend ]. B. Macelwane, direc-
tor Of the geophysics department Of
the university, said the vibrations
interfere with absolute calculations
by precision instruments such as
telescopes and measuring devices.
BY determining the nature Of the
vibrations errors in other calcula-
tions might be more readily deter
mined, he said.
Two Of the new machines are ca
pable Of magnifying earth vibra-
tions 10000 times. It is hoped to
determine whether the vibrations
move along the earth's crust or up
and down. Scientists also are doubt
full Of the exact speed they travel
and Of the length Of the waves, be-
lieved to be 18 to 20 miles from crest
to crest.

Golden Gate Fair Will
Lure With Colored Light

SAN FRANCISCO.-For the first
time on a major scale the emotional
character of color will be used in
the lighting effects Of the 1889 Gold
en- Gate and International exposition
in a manner, it is hoped, to assure
everybody a good time whether he
feels like it or not.
The plans for using colored light
ing effects for swaying the emotions
of exposition visitors was decided
upon following a conference of Off
cials.
Electrical laboratories have per-
fected a mysterious invisible light
which it is said will demonstrate to
the fullest the emotional character
of color and the effect which such
lighting will have on the human
emotions.
Among the effects, which it is de-
clared the proper lighting will pro-
duce, are:
Make men easy spenders.
Give women the feeling of CLAM
or.
Force romance to blossom.
Surge strength through tagging
feet.
Awaken appetites and tickle jaded
palates.
Awaken the desire to celebrate.
Cause feelings of deep reverence.
In short, the invisible light will
be utilized to put everyone in
happy frame of mind.
According to exposition officials,
this emotion producing invisible
light" is made by using ultra violet
rays which are sent through tubes
that have been chemically treated
to produce wide range of colors.
BY changing the chemical used in
each tube the color can be changed
to whatever shade is desired.

MAY REDUCE
POTATO CROP
Farmers of Delaware Will Try
Law of Supply and De-
mand for Results
SEEK BETTER PRICES

Potato growers probably will re-
duce their paintings for the coming
year as a result of the low prices
received during the past two sea-
sons. This opinion was expressed
by Director c. A. McCue of the
Delaware Extension service while
discussing the outlook for next
year If a smaller production is
realized and if consumer purchas-
ing power improves, as now seems
likely, both prices and income re-
ceived by growers in 1882" Direc-
tor McCue continued, would be
considerably higher than in other
recent years" The annual outlook
report, issued this week by the
Federal Bureau of Agricultural
Economics. indicates that growers
probably will decrease their potato
acreage by about per cent. The
largest reductions are expected in
the States where the late crop is
produced, although other areas are
expected to show some decrease
from 1888 paintings. Average
yields on the acreage now indicat-
ed for next year would produce
about $40 million bushels. YIELDS
up to the unusually high average
of the past two seasons would re-
suit in a crop of approximately $50
million bushels. The 1888 potato
corp is now estimated at 373 mil
lion bushels more than 3 million
bushels larger than the 1876
average. In the intermediate
States" Director McCue pointed
out, "the total acreage planted to
potatoes in 1889 is likely to be de-
creased about 5 per cent. The in
termediate commercial areas will
show greater decreases than the
noncommercial areas. Prices re-
ceived for the 1888 crop in the in
termedlate states were relatively
low and probably nave served to
discourage growers in these areas.

NAVY STUDY OF
A SUBMARINE
Tiny Undersea Boat Like
"Swordfsh" Would Roam
After Foe
EASY TO DETECT

WASHINGTON.-The navy is con-
sidering construction of tiny sword
fish" submarines that would travel
in schools and torpedo enemy war
ships from less than $50 yards.
The boats, similar to Japan's ''su-
icide" submarines, would be de-
signed to permit their two crew
members to escape.
Tentative plans would make the
boats 81 feet long, 7 feet high and
about 10 feet wide. They would
have the general lines of a fish and,
with a torpedo for a PROV, would
bear a remarkable resemblance to a
swordfsh.
The two crew members would sit
side-by-side, guiding the craft to-
ward an enemy ship until hit was
almost certain Then they would
release their torpedo and return to
their home port or mother boat.
Like Schools of Fish.
If one school were discovered,
it would attract the attention Of
most of the enemy ships defense
weapons, leaving it vulnerable to
another School attacking from an
other angle.
The vessels could be built with
assembly line" methods for about
$12, 900 each.
Among the innovations suggested
by the designers is use of gasoline
or Diesel motors. Larger subma-
rines when under water are operat-
ed by batteries because of the prob
lem of supplying fresh air to COM
bustion motors and then disposing
of the fumes. The "swordfsh'' sub
marines, however, would not sub
merge more than 80 feet and there
fore would be able to use breathing
tubes to bring fresh air to the mo-
tors.
Easy to Detect.
Powerful Diesel engines would
give the craft added speed, but the
air tubes projecting above the water
would make the vessels easier to
detect.
Plans for the boats, it is under
stood, will be inspected by the Elec-
trio Boat company, which builds
most American submarines. Al
ready drawings have been submit
ted to Chairman William H. Sutphin
of the house naval affairs subcom-
mittee investigating new naval in
ventions, and Rep. Melvin Mas,
(Rep. Minn0 ranking minority
member of the house naval affairs
committee.
The submarines would have a
cruising range of only $50 miles, but
could be carried on battleships.
The "swordfsh'' would be partic-
ularly useful in this manner when
the mother ship entered mined
area.

U-BOAT VICTIM
SEEKING DATA
Harris SprOies of California
Seeking Ship He Was
On in 1918
SEARCH UNAVAILING

SALINAS, CALIF.-For 20 years
Harris Sproles, business man of this
city, has made it his life's game to
identify the submarine and crew
that torpedoed the ship he was on
one bright day in August, 1918, and
left him adrift for 60 hours in the
north Atlantic.
When Sproles gets his informa-
tion, which he is absolutely sure he
will, he does not know exactly
what he will do with it, but he is
certain it will give him great feel
ing of satisfaction and the joy of
having accomplished one of his
great aims in life.
Sproles was a member of the gun
crew on board the United States
army transport oil tanker Joseph
Cudahy, when on the morning of
August II, 1918. it was torpedoed by
a German submarine in the north
Atlantic.
When the crew of the Joseph Cud-
ahy had taken to lifeboats, the sail
ors were forced to come alongside
the submarine to have their photo
graphs taken.
Adrift 60 Hours.
It was during the so hours that
the crew Of the Joseph Cudahy was
drifting about in the north Atlantic
waters, that Sproles determined he
would eventually ascertain the num-
Der Of the submarine and the name
of its commander.
He began his search Immediately
after the close Of the war, but it
was 10 years before he even found
clew to work on. While going east
BY train in 1923, he met Capt. Julius
Lauterbach, who had been execu-
tive officer Of the German raider
Emden and later commander Of sew
eral submarines.
Lauterbach investigated and later
wrote that he believed the subma
rine was the U-62 commanded by
Lieutenant Commander Hashagen.
However, there was no way to find
the present address OF Hashagen.
Then Lowell Thomas war book
came out giving an index of nearly
all the German undersea raiders,
including the U-62, and Sproles
wrote him for Hashagen's address
which was sent.
Several letters were sent and a
long time elapsed before Hashagen
replied. stating that it was not his
submarine that had sunk the Joseph
Cudahy.
SproIes then applied to the Ger
man consul at San Francisco, but
without success.
First Concrete CIew.
Undismayed, Sproles then applied
to the American consul at Ber-
lin and this finally brought reply
from the German reichkriegsminis-
terium, stating that the subma-
rine which sank the Joseph Cudahy
was the U-90, commanded by Senior
Lieutenant Patzig, whose initials
and address were unknown.
With this concrete clew, Sproles
then checked again with Lowell
Thomas records only to find that
it was precisely the submarines
numbered from 88 to SO on which it
had been impossible to obtain in
formation. What happened to U-90
is still mystery.
Sproles. however, still is con
vinced that somewhere there must
exist a picture Of the U-90 and some
information about Lieutenant Pat
zig, its commander. This he is now
trying to have traced down by a
cousin who is in the American con-
sular service in Russia.
So Sproles still awaits optimisti-
cally the day when he will know
something about the man who tor
pedoed him and the one big mystery
of his life will be solved.
