A NEW TORPEDO BOAT
HOLLAND SUBMARINE DESTROYER
AND HER MARVELOUS POWER.
Five Ways to Bring the Little Craft Out
of Deep Water—A Discharge ,Can be
blade One thdred Feet Away but Six-
EI ty is Far Enough {or Safety.
The Holland submarine torpedo boat
has been under construction for more
than a year, and it was not until last
March that public. trials proved the in-
ventor’s predictions regarding her mar-
velous powers. Of her first trip Colo-
nel W. H. Giluder writes: _
It was just ten‘ minutes before 3
when the crew of the lit-tile submarine
interior and closed the door behind
them that shut them off completely
from the outside world. The advacent
decks of the Raritan Dry Dock Com—
interested
pany were crowded with
spectators, who gave a. cheer as the
boat moved swiftly out into the
stream, with 'the water flowing over
the top of her superstructure and
refining :in view but the top of the tur—
ret and the steel masts at either end,
from one of which floated the Stars
and Stripes, and from the other the
Union Jack. '
.The tug followed closely behind the
Holland as she moved up the stream,
and at 3 o’clock her brow plunge-d be-
neath the water and it looked as if she
would be successful on the first at-
tempt. But as the bow went down the
stern came up and showed the muzzle
of .her deadly dynamite gun above the
water. It was then apparent that she
had not sufficient ballast aboard to
steer down, and her whistle called the
tug "to her side.

nonand.
Another 200 pounds was transferred,
and again the turret door was locked.
The water tanks were refilled and, to
the delight of every one board the tug,
the Holland was seen to be much
lower in the water than she had ever
been before. Presently her screw pro-
peller 'bgan to churn the waiter and
she forged ahead slowly. Every move-
ment she made was watched with
breathless anxiety by the men on
board the tug and with equal tenSi'ty
by two women, who had braved the
grime and dint of a little tug to see the
first dip of the craft that may carry
terror to the stoutest hear-ts on board
the mightiest battle s’hvips ever con-
structed.
At that moment the forward mast
was seen to dip down in the water, the
'turret disappeared from, View and only
a few feet of the top of each mast was
all that could be seen of the Holland.
A great shout of joy went up from
steam whistle shrieked a long and
cheerful blast.
Then the little boelt began to rise to
the surf-ace and danced along on a per—
fectly even keel. Twice more she dis-
1;;jenred below the surface and rose
again at the magic touch of her navi-
gator. Then he raised the cover of the
con.ng tower, and as his bald head ap-
peared above the edge he was greet-
ed with three hearty cheers and three
more blasts from the steam whistles.
Every one was perfectly satisfied that
the Holland submarine torpedo boat
was a. complete success and that her
future was assured. Mir. Holland- was
asked:
“How many ways have you of com-
ing to the surface from deep water?”
"Five. The simplest is to stop the
engines, and then‘you float up. That
is what the reserve buoyancy is for.
You can blow the water out of the
tanks with compressed air—«that its an-
other way—or you can steer her up
when in motion; that is the usual way.
The water can 1be pumped out of the
ballast, tanks with one of the engines,
or it can be pumped out with hand
pumps. So you see it is easy enough
‘to come to the surface .yv‘henever you
want to.”
“Can you see through
when submerged?”
“Not a bit; that is, not in a. silt-bear-
ing river or muddyI 't-ound like this.
Out at sea the water is much clearer,
and you can see a little, but not
much.”
“How can you clear obstructions in
that case?”
“That is always difficult in shallow
water where there is much traffic. It
is necessary to know your direction
before you dive and make frequent
trips to the surface to keep a good
lookout. In deep water you can go
down thirty- six feet, and that will
carry you clear of all obstructions and
under all shipping.”
“Can you see the «ship you intend to
attack while under the water?”
"You can tell when you are direct—
ly under it, because your light is all
shut out then, and when you pass be—
yond it grows lighter again. That is
the time to let go your torpedo ”
“How far from the vessel should you
be when you discharge your torpedo ?”
“It can be fired a hundred feet, out
sixty is far enough for safety, and the
probability of hitting is greater."
“How is Uta tornedo tired?”
“I use compressed air to overcome

MONEY TO BURN. ‘I
What It Costs to Discharge a Mortnr'
_ Shell.
The new model American mortar bat-
tery, as now installed at Sandy Hook,
presents many novelties, we might say,
in the art of ordnance hitherto un—
practiced.
When the sixty mortars are fired at
once, as is the design, Sandy Hook will
be' a new rival to Vesuvius. And as
each shot is twelve inches in diameter
and weighs half a ton; one can see
what an annoying thing it will be to
an enemy's fleet LO encounter our mor-
tars on a. summer’s day. These “bark-
ers” are to be put in one circuit and
fired from armored' turets placed in
out-of—the-way localities that com—
mand a full view of the appoachxes to
New York harbor from the sea. And
as the channels are spaced off into im-
aginary squares, the officer, .with his
plane tables and range finder, simply
follows the enemy’s boats with his tel-
escope. When the instrument locates
the fleet on a certain square the tele-
scope conects a. circuit that fires a pit -
previously ranged on that certain
square. As these pits are deep in sand,
surrounded by natural scenery, it is
hard even for 3. Sandy Hook officer to
go off shore and locate one. The only
weak spot is the Atlantic Highlands,
from which, if an enemy should cap-
ture it, the shelling of the “Hook”
could be done. But to take the HighA
lands would be very difficult.
It is intended that the mortar shells
shall be fired into the air at such an
angle that they will drop upon the en-
emy’s decks. No ship has yet been
built that can resist such an attack.
Curiously enough, after the-y have
been fired, you suddenly see them at
a great height, sailing along together
like a flock of geese. They as sud-
denly disappear in midair and strike at
your feet almost at the same time. As
each discharge costs about $50,000 for
the entire sixty pieces, one hour’s ac-
tive work foots up a. cost of $1,-000,GOO,
or for a day’s work, $10,000,000. One can
therefore see that Uncle Sam has pow-
ITESTING HIS FAITH
The Boy Ate All the Doughnuts He Could
Find Room For.
“What’s the matter, Johnnie; you
seem to be fieeling good?” asked one of
his father’s neighbors.
“Great! We got Christian Science
over t’ our house,” said the boy, as he
munched one doughnut and waved a
second in the air. 4
“Christian Science? What do you
mean?” inquired the puzzling neighbor.
“it’s just immense!” cried the boy.
“Best thing that ever happened. It’s
just the boss, I tell you!”
“I have heard that it sometimes did
wonders,” observed the neighbor, “but
'I didn’t suppose boys knew much about
t .:Has it benefited you, Johnnie?”
“Benefited me!” echoed Johnnie.
“You just bet it has! It’s great! When
you're Christian Science, you know,
you ain’t never sick. ~ Bentefited me? I
should say it had. I kin slosh around
in the snow all day now and eat four—
'teen doughnuts and ma never says a
'word, fer I can’t be sick—see?- I just
can’t be sick!”—Harper’s Bazar.
A Dog “’ithout a Frontal Bone.
The Stockholder tells of a remarkable
hairless dog owned by Mrs. Brinsley
Sheridan. It possesses not one single
hair, and “is about the size of the aver—
age baked potato and as hot, for it
exists normally at a. temperature of 102
degrees. It lives a veiled and shrouded
but when placed upon the ground is as
active as a. little pink rabbit, pricks its
little bald ears, and prances
incredible gaiety.” But, though bald,
it is hungry, as its fowl bill mounts up
to something considerable in the course
of a. year. But the most curious thing
about the creature 'is the formation of
the skull; which is minus the frontal
bone, so that the brain is only covered
with skin. ’
