    THE HOLLAND SUBMARINE BOAT.
One of the Most Wonderful
ure in
At the present time engines of war
re exciting unusual interest in the
United Btates, and among those which
imdi to have great possibilities is the
latest example of the Holland submar
ine torpedo boats, which was lately
launched and has been put through a

tries of trials in the waters near Now
York. This boat is the sixth one invent
ed and bnilt by John P. Holland, of N ew
Tork, since 1877. The first of these
vessels was only 14 feet long; the sec
end, bnilt in 1871), was 81 feet long
nd 0 foot in dinmetor; the third was a
working model, 16 feet long by BO
' inches in diameter; the fourth was the
Zalinski boat, built at Fort Lafayette,
and 40 feet long by eight feet in di
ameter; the fifth is now under con
struction for the Government at Bal
timore, Md. , and is 85 feet long by
11) feet in diamoter, and has 108 tons
displacement; and the sixth is the one
here illustrated. This last boat is 03
feet long, 10 feet 8 inches in diameter,
and baa a displacement of 75 tons.
The hull, as will be seen from the
illustration, is cigar-shaped and is
made of i-inoh to f -inch steel plates
riveted to steel frames. The top is
flat, with two hatches and a central
telescopio conning tower 2 feet in di
ameter and three feet high. Hteering
is done by two sets of rudders, one
vertical for steering on the surface and
the other horizontal for regulating
the depth of submersion. There are
three sources of power for propelling
the boat above and below the water,
expelling water, discharging torpedoes
and dynamite guns, and lighting the
ship internally and externally, name
ly: compressed air, gasoline and elec
tricity. The most important agent is
compressed air, without which it would
be impossible to operate the boat un
der the sea.
The most important use of the com
pressed air is for the respiration of
the crew. The boat is quickly sub
merged by admitting sea water to a
aeries of steel tanks connected with
the compressed air system. To bring
the boat to the surface air is forced
into the water tanks under high pres
sure, and as the water is expelled the
boat rises swiftly to the surface. The
air tanks have been tested to stand a
pressure of 8000 pounds per square
inch, and are calculated to hold 'out
for a submergence lasting ten hours,
, ut if the supply should fail after nine
or ten hours, the tanks can be
replenished by means of a tube pro
jected to the surface as a suction pipe.
The armament of the boat consists
first of an aerial torpedo ejector, at
the bow, capable of throwing to a
distance of one mile, a projectile
weighing 180 pounds and carrying 100
pounds of a high explosive. Iinmedia-
. tety under this is an expulsive tube
for a Whitehead torpedo, with the
uanal charge of 200 pounds of gun
cotton; and pointing to the rear is a
dynamite gun capable of throwing 100
' pounds of a high explosive 100 yards
. or more through the water. When
equipped for service the "Holland"
would carry three Whitehead tor-
a pedoes, six shots for the forward gun
' and five for the after gun.
The most important test the boat
, lias undergone was when she made
four dives of a mile each, went through
a series of surfaoe evolutions, tried
' her aerial dynamite gun and expelled
a dummy torpedo from her submarine
. tube in Baritan Bay. .
The experiments were oonducted for
. the benefit of the board appointed by
i the Secretary of the Navy to witness
the Holland's trials and report upon
her efficiency. Lieutenant-Commander
C. S. Sperry, Chief of the Bureau of
Equipment; Lieutenant-Commander
Bwift, Chief of the Bureau of Ordi-
. nance, and Lieutenant Bock, Naval
Constructor, who comprise that board,
witnessed them from a tug provided
' by the Holland Company. Elihu B.

coming to the surface three times at
intervals of one minute eacn. The
Holland did more than that
Bhe started from the block Imov at
the eastern end of Baritan Bay, about
four miles southwest of the Old Or
chard light, ran westward toward the
Jersey shore for a mile,' showed her
conning tower on the surfaoe for about
thirty seconds, ran another mile under
water, came up again, turned around,
and wect back to the black buoy in
the same way.
Aided by her automatic steering
gear, she held her bourse perfectly be
neath the surface. The average depth
of water over her conning tower dur
ing her submerged trips was about fif
teen foot. In her surface experiments
after the diving trials were over she
obeyed her holm more quickly than
she ever did before. She did not have
to stop and fhke on more ballast as
she has in all her previous trials.
This difficulty was overcome by using
her compensating tanks. There was
no delay. Hhe went at her work
romptly and behaved as though she
were on dress parade.
Iter gun experiments were as suc
cessful as her evolutions in the water.
Hhe expelled a dummy torpedo from
her submarine tube without difficulty
and hurled a 76-pound wooden pro
jectile 400 yards through the air from
her forward dynamite gun, using com
pressed air in both instances.
Itoritan Bay was chosen by Mr.
Holland for the trials because" it was

boats that pestered him so much in
hia experiments in Staten Island
Sound, and a depth of water sufficient
to develop the full diving powers of
the little whaleback oould be had.
The Holland behaved perfectly in the
seaway. She ploughed right through
the waves, which tumbled the two
tugs about and dashed clouds of spray
up to their pilot houses like a water
soaked log. The waves simply rolled
over her, alternately submerging her
completely and exposing her sides until
the lights in her broadside windows
could be seen. Her superstructure
and about twelve inches of her body
was out of water. Toe, Mars and
Stripes, on a four-foot sti T, floated
aft She had about 8000 t-ounds of
pig-lead ballast inside of her, and her
tanks fore and aft, whloh have capacity
for about nine and a half tons of
water, were full. Her trimming tank
amidships was empty. Her crew con-

trioian; Henry Meyer, his assistant;
Nathaniel Addison, the engineer; W.

Holland clamped down the lid of her
conning tower and filled her trimming

until her decks were awash aud uoth-

working order, Mr. Holland slowed
the little boat up and pointed her nose
in toward the Navesink Highland,
which loomed up smoky and indistinct
on the Jersey 'shore fonr miles to the
southward. Then, at right angles
with the course he told the naval offi
cer he would take, which lay from the
black buoy almost due westward to
the Great Bed Lights, at the head of
the dredged channel he sent the Hol
land forward at full speed and forced
her fin rudder down. The Holland
reluctantly .buried her blunt nose
and tilted up her tall until the blades
of her screw were visible as they
churned the water. She ran along in
this fashion for fifty yards, and then
suddenly swinging about and pointing
her nose toward the Great Beds light
she slipped out of sight There were
a few ripples aft and a little patch of
foam, but that was all. Two hundred
yards from where she disappeared the
Holland came up like a huge porpoise
and a most immediately vanished from
view again.
Every man on the two tugs took out
his watch and counted the minutes
she was under. Many of them had
never seen a submarine boat perform
before and were a little skeptical as to

the Holland's ability to go down and
come up as she pleased. The nervous
onee w ere reassured after a wait of
twelve minutes by seeing her appear
again, but she disappeared instantly,
and for fifty long minutes not a glimpse
of her was caught by any one on either
tug. The most oonfldent of the spec
tators were discouraged long before
the fifty minutes was over.
Exactly one hour and two minutes
after she had made her first dive and
about fifty minutes after her second
appearanoe above the water the Hol
land was discovered three-quarters
of a mile away from the tugs. Her
nag was gone, and all that could be
seen of her was her conning tower
which looked like an oyster can as it
bobbed up and down in the dis tanoe.
The crowds on the tugs gave a veil
of delight and the tugs' whistles
joined in the chorus. The boat grow
ing bigger and bigger, ploughed
through the water in the direction of
the black buoy at eight knot speed.
She made several quiok turns to the
right aud to the left on the way, which
indioated that her steering gear was in
perfect working order. Finally she
stopped and summoned the tugs along
side by three shrill, whistlee. It was
too rough to open the lid of the con
ning tower, so Mr. Holland blew his
whistle twioe more to let the men on
the tugs know that he was reedy to
try his dynamite gun and his torpedo
tube. The aerial dynamite gun was.
tried first A wooden projectile eight
inches in diameter, half an inch smaller
than the bore of tbo gun, was fitted
into the breech and expelled from the
gnn by a compressed air oharge of
C00 pounds pressure to the square
inch. The projeotile was hurled
through the air for 400 yards at an
angle of about sixteen degrees, Its
flight was rapid, but it oould be seen.
A powder oharge sufficient to increase
the pressure - at the muzzle of
the gun to 2000 pounds to the square
inoh would have been used if
the breech of the gun had not been
defeotive. The projectile was of the
same shape as the dynamite shell
"""'
which will be used in the gnn in actual
service, but its weight was about 100
pounds less. Immediately after this
trial the submarine torpedo tube was
successfully tested.
Mr. Holland was taken aboard the
tug which carried the naval experts
and was questioned by Lieutenant
Commander Sperry and his associates.
He explained to them that the reason
the Holland could not be seen when
she rose to the surface was that she
poked only her nose and conning tower
op, and the sea was so rongh that So
small a part of her wan. not distin
guishable two miles awny.
"If you managed to keep out of onr
sight when we were scanning the whole
surface of the bay for yon, I don't
know what a hostile battleship that
did not suspect yon were after her
would do," one of the men remarked.
The water in which Mr. Holland
dived had an average depth of thirty
feet The last time she was under she
bumped along the bottom for half a
mile, and her crew oould hear the oys
ter shells scraping against her iron
sides.
When the Holland is equipped for
war it will not be necessary for her to
take any metal ballast on board at all.
The weight of her projectiles will
make her heavy enough, and she will
be operated solely by her ballast tanks.

Improved Dandelions For, flnrden. v
The dandelion is so popular an herb
for greens that it is well worth while
to cultivate it in the garden for that
use. There are special varieties which
have much larger and thioker leaves,
and these are sometimes planted in
greenhouses in winter so as to have!
greens earlier for use in spring. At
this season something fresh from the
garden or greenhouse is liked by all.

Sprajrlng.
The unproductiveness of some or
chards is caused by the attacks of in
sects and fnngi. Such orchards may
be greatly improved by spraying with
a combination of Bordeaux mixture
and Taris green. The Bordeaux stops
the growth of the fungi (especially the
apple soab) and the" Paris green kills
the larvio of the bud-moth and codling
moth.
The first spraying should be done
when the fruit buds have begun to
show their color, but before the flow
ers expand. A second application
should be made just as the last blos
soms fall. In some years when insects
and fungi are particularly abundant,
a third and even fourth application
may be necessary.
To insure success the spraying must
be done thoroughly. Every limb and
every leaf must be wet with the mixt
ure. Insects do not hunt around for
the poison it must be put where they
will be sure to get it
Composting Fertilizing Material.
There is always a vast amount of
good fertilizing material on the farm,
material of but little value in itself,
but when combined with other mater
ial furnishes an enriching element one
cannot afford to lose. Taking the
autumn leaves as a basis, adding to
them barn ashes and then a layer of
barnyard manure, and we have a
foundation for a compost heap on to
wbioh can be thrown old lime or plas
ter, soil from road ditches, muck, the
greasy water from the kitchens and
other refuse from the house which
cannot be disposed of in any other
way. i,ven weeds will add to the
value of the compost heap. Add to it
at every opportunity anything which
in combination with the other mater
ial will make plant food, using lime
in sufficient quantities to keep in sub
jection any odor arising from a sur
plus of greasy materials.
There is enough material whioh
may be gathered from time to time on
the farm to start several compost
heaps, each of which may be forked
over in the late fall and the material
applied to the soil then, or if not suffi
ciently well rotted, the following
spring. It will cost but little to
gather them but will add many dollars
to the crops, to say nothing of added
cleanliness about the farm. If far
mers wero as careful about their waste
produots as are' manufacturers, they
would soon find a way of making
money by thoir use surprisingly easy.
Growing Potatoes rrofitubly.
One of the most suocestiful potato
growers in tne country is an Ultio
man who recently gave his methods
publicity before a meeting of horti
culturists, lie claimed that by turn
ing under two or three clover sods and
thus seouring a large amount of humus
in the soil, he could grow a crop of
potatoes without the aid of a drop of
rain from' planting to harvest. He
grows only medium early sorts, thus
enabling him to sow tho land to wheat
after taking off a crop of potatoes,
riantings are made four inches deep,
in drills thirty-two inches apart and
from twelve to twenty inches between
the pieoes, using from ' six to eight
bushels of seed per acre. It might
be well to say just here that this quan
tity of seed would be much too little
unless the soil was rich and well pre
pared such as is the Ohio man's. Be
fore the potatoes are up the soil
should be worked twioe with a smooth
ing harrow to loosen the surface soil
and kill any starting weeds. As soon
as the rows can be mode out a culti
vator should be used, the teeth being
run four inobes, but later when the
tops are fonr to six inohes high the
cultivation should bo shallow, not
more than two inohes deep. At least
onoe a week, and as soon ns the ground
is in condition after a rain, a shallow
cultivation should be given up to the
time the vines cover the ground.
Much of the cultivation may be done
with tho weeder, thus keeping the
weeds down as well as giving the ne
cessary cultivation. If the soil is rich
in humus and a proper amount o(
plant food furnished, the frequent
stirring of the surfaoe soil will result
in a good crop even in a dry season.
It is suggested thut blackboards be
abandoned for schools, that a light
colored board be substituted therefor,
and that colored chalk be used instead
