ami the party which had elected him
to office were in active antagonism

and elideavered to keep on good leiins
with him. Tor the Most part the sen-
aTorTj'eqoenfed the 'office _of the as-
sljitant secretary, Frederick W. SeW-
ard, who kept him Infortned as far as
lie dared and 111 as good humor as pos-
sible. -A l’ew years ago 1 visited Fred-

VessiiTv liTITrr to nrtVTtr.Tte under wa-
ter require particular care in their
const ruction, for when they are suli
merged they have to withstand the
pressure of water from all sides with-
out showing Hie slightest leak.
The newest; submarines must he. able
to sink t" a imTHh of 17SI feefoj'' more.
At sueli a depth the pressure is Ir/>-
nirndous. and if (lie joints are not per-
fect water squirts in as though through
a hose pipe. Ten years ago testing ,'C
new submarine was a dangerous job.
Slie might not lie watertight. Her lial
a nee might not be perfect.. or. again,
the ait' system might not be equal to
blowlug Out Hie water froffi her ranks.
Terrible accidents have occurred in
testing new,under water bouts during
actual submergence, but today all that,
is a thing of the past. A testing dock
1 is used, which was jnvented by an
Iraiiaii engineer. Major Ianireiiti. It
is a huge cylinder, into which the.sub-
marine fs floated. A caisson at the
end is elosed and hermetically sealed.
The cylinder Is built so as to stand
tremendous pressure,' and pressure is
slowly applied until it equals some-
thing far greater than the submarine

properly by substituting muslin for
window glass. This will allow a
complete and continuous diffusion of
the foul air out and the pure air Into

let in nearly as much light even when
frosted over as glass.- it will at the
same time make an ideal ventilator.
