seas, one is struck by the similarity
with devices used to explore the
air. What Is Williamson's observa-
tory If not q tower upside down?
The flshermans net is surely
another kite? The devices which
plunge to the bottom unattached
to record conditions there are SINH
lar to the ballons of meteorologists
The submarine Is water dirigible.
And Dr.. Beebe's bathysphere is no
more than a captive ballon at the
end of cable.
The balloon, too, is shaken by air
currents; both are at the mercy of
the cable-although a broken cable
means little to the aeronaut, every
thing to his opposite number under
water.
But one thing is missing: There
is no watery twin for the king of
the air, the free balloon, which
floats smoothly without jarring in
the immensity of space.
Can a submarine free balloon"
be evolved? Yes, say, and I have
done 1t.
Invents Underwater Balloon.
My underwater balloon" which I
call bathyscaphe (from the Greek
for DEPTH. bathus, and for ship,
scaphe), truly will be ship of the
deep which may pave the way for
discoveries and scientifiec develop
ments in a region as yet made
quately probed by man-the great
depths Of the oceans. The craft is
in two parts, float or submarine
gas bag" and a watertight "gon-
dola" for passengers and instru-
ments.
The cabin will be round, like a
ball, with walls of steel some four
inches thick. Both shape and thick
ness are calculated to withstand
most effectively the pressures of up
to nearly 5000 pounds to the square
inch which we can expect at depths
of over $4,000 feet. 1t Is, of course,
much heavier than water.
The gondola of a stratosphere
balloon is also heavier than the air
about it; alone it would fall, Just as
the cabin of my bathyscaphe would
sink alone. But q balloon flies be-
cause the weight of the mass of air
which 1t displaces is greater than its
own weight. In other words, the
gondola Is lightened by a gas bag.
In the same way, my underwater
gondola must have "gas bag" or
float so that the weight of water
displaced is greater than the COM
bined weight of cabin and float
But gas is highly compressible:
under the tremendous pressures OF
the ocean depth, gas wouldn't be
displacing any water at all. The
pressure only 300-odd feet down
would squeeze the gas to one-tenth
OF Its bulk at the surface. 1t could
float only one-tenth the load.
Liquid Is Indicated.
A liquid of a solid was obviously
indicated. The lightest non gaseous
material is lithium; its density Of
0.55 would have been ideal but for
its exorbitant cost. Among liquids,
aviation gasoline with a density of
OF weighs 43 pounds, 10 ounces per
cubic foot but displaces SO pounds,
10 ounces of seawater. 1t has, there
fore, lifting power" of 20 pounds
per cubic foot. That, we decided.
was what we would use. ~ Ii
The gasoline will be stored In q
set OF aluminium containers in a
streamlined sheet-steel float. With
this gas bag" above a watertight
cabin, the principle of the free
floating aerial or stratosphere bal
loon has been adapted precisely to
submarine navigation.

On Monday there more than 1000
coupons. Yesterday there were more
than 1000 again. The campaign is
snowballing. Those 1000 coupons
probably mean more. than $1,000 to
the hospital.
The girls who open Pepco's mail
became enthusiastic about the cam
paign. They justly feel that they
are helping put this hospital cam
Ipaign, which started last year, over
the top.
A number of commercial custom
ers, storekeepers for the most part,
authorized their rebates to go to
the hospital. The small commercial
customers rebate is at least $7.20.
That helps double.
Sign the coupon and mail 1t to
Pepco. You will get the benefit of
the rate reduction on your current
and future light bills. You are only
signing away money you have al
ready spent.
