I L SUCTION OT UOLLIND-ZIXINSKI CONNINQ TOWER
T I f The first man In recent years to make any
5llr in tbls port with a submarlno boat was Mr.
ohn Holland. It was with him that Lieut.
I allnskl baa labored. Holland was an enthu-
I I i; slast on the subject. He began building a
1' I boat about tho time of the great outbreak of
IS I 1 Fenian wind, and was accused of making tbo
jit boat for tbe destruction nf llrltlsh commerce.
II Holland dented this. Whoover his firm buck
I! i ers mv have been Holland broke with them.
H I it because he bellovod they were trying to rob
I I j! him of his share of expected profits, and the
III boat was novor completed. When tbe people
1 I' (J who were furnishing tbo money to develop
1 I I the dynamite gun were approachod by
li Holland thoy agreed to make an Investment
I M in tbe protect. Tbe Idea of using a submarine
I !( boat fitted in well wltn the idea of a dynamltn
I gun that used compressed air to flro its pro-
jrotile. Ilesldes. these same oapltaliuts owned
I i an engine opemted by petroleum gas Instead
of steam, and baa fitted it to a small yacht
I whlrh thejr called tbe Wonder. This motor
IE discharged tbe products of the explosion In
Is the engine oyllnder through pipes opening
I I into the sea instead of the open air. It was
a natural to suppose that such a motor would
I jl easily be adapted to propelling a submarlno
I 4 boat, and so. indeed, It would be.

200 pounds ot dynamite have been hurled

With a submarine boat to carry this gun. tho

air or tho water a clrcumtanoes warranted.
In tho experiments made at Kort Hamilton
the boat attained a speed or nlno miles on tho
surface, and was frequently sunk and raised to
the. surface ol tho water with her crew on
board. Considering thatthe motor was an old
one built for nnotber purpose, and not woll
adapted to this purpose, tho speed was very
lt shouiJ'uo said that other methods of getr
ting tne torpedo against tho enemy a, ship tbnn
the dynamite gun wore oonteraplatod. but
nAncThe? noel feature of thin boat was tho
use of a mirror for ascertaining the et.omy'a
p"ltlon. Through the top of tho turret was
erected a motal tubo eight feet high. In tho
"p of this was an inclined mirror, which rp
fleeted tho sceno forward or tho boat down
through tho tubo nnd a camera litclda prism
so that tho pilot could see on a plane beforo
him nn acourato picture ot what ho was trav-
IHl tob tuck tonrxpo boat.
H which hor crew must be wholly unprepared,
Hw and with a power against which they nre lnca-
MB pable of defending themsolvos. The groat war
HJ ship, perhaps n hugo Ironclad, with guns that
HV will throw a 1,800-oound projectllo twoho
H mtlos, is lying at anchor off a port that she Is
HV about to bombard: or sho may be stoamlns
H obout with her crew at quortors and every one
Hj alert. The air may be cloar and a brooze may
AT be blowing to carry away tho smoke from her
B guns. Any approaoh of a torpedo boat on tho
Hj surface would be welcomed by .a deadly hall
elllcg toward, and yet hla bont would bo nt a
safedistanoo below tho waves. Obviously this
tubo could ho used only in smooth wator, nnd
it might bo hit by a ranld-flro shell.
, Means were to be provided by which the crow.
In oaso the boat was hopelessly sunk, could
, got out and swim from it in divers' suits.
Mr. Nordonfelt first began his experiments
with submarine boats in 1BH3, nnd In 1885 bad '
got on well enough to give an oxhlbltlnn of the i
powers of tho boat at Copenhagen in the pres-
enceof a number of high rnnk peoplo, Includ
ing tho l'rlnee of Wales und tbo King nnd
(jueon of Denmark.
As all such vessels must necossnrlly be, this
craft was clBar-shapod. Thoro wore throo sep
arate steam onglnes. One worked tho screw
firopoller, aud the other two worked propol
ers placed horizontally on each eido amid
ships. Wishing to sink his bont Mr. Norden
folt admitted water to chambors prepared lor
tho purpose until the bout had, a buoyancy ot
but 101 pounds. Then the propellers In the side
sponsons wore started. Their action sunk the
boat, if wblrlod rapidly they could toko her
down llfty feet and bold hor thero. or she
could bo kopt nt any desired depth. The ad
vantage of this system was that should any
accident to the muchinory stop it the boat
would como to tho surface a rntlior doubtful
i advantage howevor, wero tho boat within
I rango of the onemy's rap Id-flro guns. It could
also bo steered down by horizontal fins.

I Thin boat was Gl feot long and 0 In diameter.
I Bhe was built of steel. Bhe had a surfaco spoed
of 8 knots and ran 150 mtlos on ono coaling.
Her motlvo tiowor was In a steam boiler. The
wator In tbls was heated until a pressuro of
160 pounds to tho inch was obtained. Then the
f urnaco was sealed, nnd on tho power thus In
rosorvo. applied to n four-bludod scrow. drovo

Ono novel device was a pendulum which so
controlled tb horizontal propellers nnd Dns
that any tondoncy to roll or pitch from a level
kool wan provonted. Another dovlco so
controlled her horizontal propellers that on
reaching any required depth no further down

In 1887 Mr. Nordonfelt had so far improved
his boat that three ot them, alter prolonged
tests, were purchased by the Turkish Govern
ment. These boats wero luO foet long. 12 feot

n addition to tbo ordinary marluo bollera
thoy wero onoh protldcd with hot-wator tanks

up until a pressure of 150 pounds to the Inch
was obtained by means of a steam cll from
tho boiler. Tbeso tanks gnvo a rosorvo power
for feeding the boilers when the Ores wero
sealed up. The how and stern llros wero im
proved somewhat, but were In tbe main as in
the first ones.
Mr. Nordenfelt demonstrated that he could
sink the boat to nny requlrod depth and then
go baokward or forward wholly unseen from
tho surrace, keeping, meantime, on n let el
keol, and at the right moment dlschargo his
torpedoes ut a targot in short, that he had an
exoellunt oontrol ot tbe boat. According to
most englneors this Is tho host submarlno
boat so far produced.
The next submarine boat to bo considered Is, i
however, ol most excellent design. It is, moro
1 over, propelled by electricity. It is from do- i
others, for Lieut. Pcral had a knowlodgo of
what had boen dono in this lino before build
ing his boat. Tho boat is 70 foot long and 9 feet
In diameter, nnd is the only submarlno boat i
built with twin screws. Kbe displaces eighty- ,
seven tons. Her motive power Is oloatricity. ,
carried in storage battorios. She carries a crew
of eevon men, nnd her arrangements for sup
plying puro air enable hor to remain under i
water for forty-olght hours. Tbo mothod by
which this Is done nnd tho plans for using tor
podoes are not made public, nor does any one
know how fast she can run.
Curiously onough. a mtnlstor of tho gospel
of peaco, the llev. Mr. Uarrott, an Englishman,
appears In tho list of inontors of tho cralt
which, If successful, must send hundreds of
souls unprepared into tbe other world. Mr.
Oarrott's Invention, while original in dotal),
did not differ materially from tbe Invontion of
Mr. Nordenfelt. One peculiarity worth men
tioning was a thick girth or sheathing of wood
amidships, which was to serve as a buffer in
case of untimely collision with any object
likely to perforate n steel skin.
A torpedo boat that was not clgar-shaoed
was lnvontod bv J. U Tuck of this city and
built nt the Delemator Iron Works. It was 80
foet long, 7K wide, nnd G deep. It carried
storage batteries for power. Its most Interest
ing peculiarity was tbe method of controlling
it Thoro was a well hole on top umldshlps.
With a covor nnd a door leading from It Into
the bold. Tho pilot wont from the bold Into
this noil holo dressed in n dlters suit, then
conneoted his suit with tho hold bo that he
could got air. Then ho shut tho door and let
In the water till the well holo was full. Then
he took off tho hole cover, and, grasp
ing the tiller chains, pressed a button
ot somo sort and started tbo craft.
A torpodo was carried at each end
of tho boat, the two being connooted by a wire,
wnicnwasm turn connecioa wim a uaiiery.
Tbo bont was to bosteeied under tbe enemy s
ship, and thoro the torpedoes were to be re
leased. They would rise of their own buoy
ancy, and could be mado to adhere to the iron
bottom of a ship by magnets. Tben tbe sub
marlno boat would run away to a safe distance,
and, firing the torpedoes, blow tho enomy out
of water. A young man employed In The Bun
office, who served as pilot, vory nearly lost his
llfu by a dlsarinnglnc ol tbe tubo that con
nected bis diver's suit with the vessel's bold.
Trials of submarlno boats In actual warfare
are not wnntlng. Capt, David llushnolt, a Con
necticut Yankee. Ingenious like his raco. mado
a boat which Bargeant Ezra Leo, In 177G, pro
pellod under Lord Howe's G4-gun Uno-of-battle
ship Unglo. Ho had n clockwork torpedo with
15(1 pounds ot powder In it which ho tried to
screw fast to the bottom of tho Laglo, but the
oak plank was so tough that ha failed. He let
tbe torpedo go nnd fled for bis Ufa. He escaped
and so did the Lnglo.

courngod other attempts or alike nature. In
fact, thero nave boon a good many sucb pitiful
deaths in the oouri-o ot the trials of theso sub
marlno boats. The llev. Mr. Garrett, among
tbo rest, with his boat wns lost on tbo coast of
(nlos. Thero havo been many thrilling os
capos as woll, but those have commonly been
concoalod by thnso Involvod. lest the stories
lessen the prospoct of tho boatB bolng sold,
1 hero are a number of reasons which ac
count for tho ulownoss ot naval officers in
adopting or recommending submarine boats.
Thoy relate nhlolly to tho difficulties in the way
of accomplishing anything with such boats.
To begin with, war ships can now travel at a
spood oi nine or ten knots anihour when crusl
lug off au enemy'rt coast or Dort. No subma
rine boat hn boen made that could certainly
do this In i-plte of, tho Froneh assertion that
tholr boat Is a ten-knot cralt, Kven supposing
sho con d make ten knots, she could not. savo
by accident, get undor n ton-knot warship.
Unco undor it sho would risk colliding with tho
bottom, und t-o getting rolled over or orushod
lit and deutroyod. Bbo might get a touch from
the big scrow. and thus get sunk.
Worse than this Is the utter darkness In
which n boat travels when under water. The
submarine boat's crew must calculate tho loca
tion ol amoving enemy, the distance she will
travel in a glen time, tbe distance their own
boat will travel lit Ihe same lime, and so go
down and steam ahead, hoping to arrive under
the enemy, which presents a target perhaps 850
by ha i feet large. Could Home motor be devised
which would drive tho submarlno boat, say
twenty knots an hour, her chances of sucoess
would be improved, hut onlrn little. If to
speed could be added a scheme which would
enable the pilot to see the enemy wlsbout by
any possible chanco betraying his own pres
ence, tho submarlno boat would tbon become
tonibly dunceroiis.
ijecuuse of the difficulty, perhaps Impossi
bility, of safely seeing tho enemy whllo under
the wator, the outcomo of the experiments
with submarine boats are likely to end in a
oomptomlse. Theattomnt to build a boat to
be wholly submerged will be abandoned and
in its place will come a boat of the whale-hack
order, one with Its top just awash. It is
certain that tbe submarine boats have all been
too small to be valuable, anyhow, hut In build
ing a boat to float with its upper does Just on
the surface there is no reason for making it
Iuh tbnn 200 feet loug ami correspondingly
wide and deep. Here Is given a hull capable
or earn Ing engines and boilers of great power.

The hardest thing In tho world for naval
constructors to do Is to get away from traoi
tlona. They have been potting masts nnd sails
on ships for twenty years now, since twin
screws were adopted and rendered .soil; on ob
struction. They are now building torpedo
boat that stand up out of water like a three
story tenement, and then they try to 'make
thoso boats Impenetrable to shot by laying a
two-lneh iron deck on ton. Tho 'r'fT,tt,"J,1
llrltlsh constructor mskes the model, and an
the world-and especially the Yankee coustruo
tor.whoonoe boasted his ablity to lead-must
lollow. bocause the British assert that tholr
navy Is as strong as any two In the world.
To build a torpedo boston the model or
Liverpool llner-and that If the model or about
every suoh craft In the world-Is ridiculous. A
bill to provide forflvo suoh useless i hulks i has
been Introduced In tho. House nt Washington.
Tho sole objoot In making a submarine tor
podo boat la to enablo Its crow to launch a tor
podo against an enemy with certainty and safe
ty to tho submarine crow. A torpodo boat that
could maintain n spoed of twenty knots, and
had nn armored oval dock, four inohos thlok,

MILK BY PIPE E7.VE
Skilled Opinion Seems to He That There la
Nothlnc la It.
Civilization runs to pipes. Wo havo elec
tricity, stoam, gas, water, and petroleum
already supplied through pipes. The latest
pipe schomo. started In MIddlotown, Orango
county, proposes to send milk to New York
through a pipeline similar to the oil pipe linn
of tho Standard and other compaules. Tho
projectors talk of raising a capital of (600.000,
and of collecting all the milk within a hundred
miles of Now York, so as to keep up n perpet
ual stream of fresh milk dollvered In tho city,
avoiding the delays of railroad transportation
and cheapening the cost
Looking about among tho milk authorities
of the city for information as to tbo prac
ticability ot tbls scheme, a Sun reporter found
nothing but incredulity. One obioction urged
was that It would be absolutely imposslblo to
send milk tumbling through pipes for such a
dlstanco without churning it pretty thorough
ly, so that If it could como through tbo pipes at
all it would appear upon delivery in the shapo
of lumps of buttor and buttermilk. Tho pro
jectors talk of sending the milk in a halt-frozen
condition. This is pronounced absurd for
various reasons. Ono Is the mechanism neces
sary to cool milk in such a way: another is
the impossibility of sending milk through tho
pipes in such a condition; and another obiea
tlon is that such a cooling, even if practicable
would change the character ol tbe milk.
The most fatal objection urged by exnerts
to such a scheme Is the Impossibility of koep
lng Bueh a pipe clean. Any ono who has In
spected a dairy knows howe-sentlal It is that
all the milk cans and pans Bbnll bo thoroughly
cleansed with scalding hot wator every day.
Eien partial cleansing will not answer. All
traces of the stalo milk must bo scrupulously
removed. Such a cleansing of a 100-mile pipe
would be Impossible. It would require a river
of scalding water, replenished along the line.
Another fatal objection urged Is the Impossi
bility of inspection according to law with such
a soheme. There would be no practicable way
of presenting the dumping of more of Impure
milk Into such a pipe.
Altogether, tho opinions of tho best experts
coincide that, while It is possible that men
might bo willing to sell stock In such an ontor
prise. It would bo surprising If anybody could
be found foolish enough to buy such stock.
Tbe probability Is that the talk about getting
up suoh a cpmpany is a humbug.

Henry a. Cowen Haye Hla Brother's tiro
Had Often Been Threatened.
In explanation of his letter to tho Philadel
phia Timet regarding tho death of bis brother,
reprlntod In yesterday's Bun, Henry O, Gowen
said yohtorday that he and tbo rest of tbe fam
ily bollevod Franklin B. Oowon to havo beon
murdored. Ho bad many onomles. Mr. Oowen
said, not only nmong the Molly Uttguiroa
whom ho had brought to justice, but among
financiers whoso paths he had crossed. For
many years be had recelvod anonymous letters
threatening his llfo. Instead ot being alarmed
by them he kept them in a scrap book for the
amusement of those of his friends who saw
humor In bad spelling and worse chlrogranhy.
Tho same fearless disposition, indicated by his
regarding threats upon his llfo as funny, mado
him leave tbe doors of his room unlocked at
night, evon when In a hntol. Ho was conse
quently open to attack nt a tlmo whon tho at
tacking person could mostcaBlly escapo.
Hating said thus much In favor of tbe theory
of murtler. Mr. Gowen told why he did not bo
llevo bis brother hud killed blmselr. He could
not have committed Bulclde In his right mind.
Sir. (iowou nntd, lorlio had overt thing to lite
for, and that ho was not Insane wns shown by
the brilliant argument ho made on tho Thurs
day previous to his death. Mr Uowonlsnot
satisfied with tho Identification by tho vender
of his brother as tbe purchaser ot tho revolver
found in tho room at tho hotel, ns ho sas it
was basod on a nowspspor cut which was not
a good likeness. Eton if he bad boon tho
purohasor. Mr. Gowen thinks his brother
would not have been so unconcernod and
cheerful after the purchase had he bought tbe
weapon to kill himsolf with, There were no
powder marks indicating the close proximity
of the revolver where the fatal bullet entered,
Mr. Gowen furthermore Insisted, Mr, Gowen
said, finally, that bis brother would have loft
some explanation behind him, and would not
haye taken steps to reduce the Insurance on
bis life. Whllo deolarlng it to be his opinion
that his brotbei was murdered, Mr. Oowen was
careful to say that he accused no one.
, An .Inquiry into the circumstances of Frank
lin II, Gowen's death Is now bolng conducted
i,,J.l.ne.1,''nJ'.er,,Pn ngency. t'apt. Llndon of tho
Philadelphia bureau hea charge of It, and ha
is trying to get at the facts, without regard to
either the murderor suicide theory.

ONJS BVHDItED MILES OF WIRE DOITN.
About An Eighth or tha Total Mllcaee of
the Elactrto Xlsb.t Cotnpanlea.
Work on the olectrlo llRht poles and wires
contlnuod yosterday in eplto of tbo half holiday
until 4 o'clock P. M. Six canes were out, and
althouKh ono of them did nothing but cut down
poles, the record of wire cuttlne was tho great
est made slnco the work began. A little more
than 91,000 feet of wire was removed about 18
miles. Slnco tho crusade began about 00.000
foet, or nearly 100 miles, of wire and 328 poles
have beon taken down. This takos no account
of wire removed privately by the companies.
For the last few days the companies havo been
going ahoad of tho city's gangs, taking down
suoh wlro and fixtures as were sure to bo con
demned, so that the actual amount of destruc
tion la far In excoss of what Is speoiucally re
ported to tho Board ot Kloctrical Control. Mo
work will bo done to-day. On Monday six. and
possibly sevon, gangs will go out to continue
tho removal of condomned eleotrio proporty.
Tbo position of the oloctrlo light companies
with reference to the felling of the wires is one
of forcod resignation. When the eity gets
through they, or at least some of them, may
havo something to say. An attorney for one
of the companies said yesterday that ho
thought every one of tbe companies whose
wires hud been Interfered with wouli sue the
city for damages. CommlSRloner GUroy, ho
said, had oxceound his authority. Under cover
of bis diroctionB to abate tho nuisance of dan
gorouB wires, bo bad removod miles upon
miles of perfectly safo wires, causing tbo com
panies losses which would foot up Into tho
hundred thousands. An attornoy for another
company said ho was In doubt about the com
panies being able to recover.
i'resldent A. O. llernheim of tho Manhattan
Company, whose station Ib at Ughtleth street

Ilovr the Worm Turned.
Any one who knew Cheyenne whon It was
the terminus of tbe Dnton 1'oclflo Ilallroad will
admit that It was a hard town. Thoro was
moro cutting and shooting thoro in a given
time than any other Western town could ever
boost of, and no doubt most of the blood letting
was a good thing for tho community.
In the palmy days of tho town I bad a busl
noss there, and next to mo was a Jew clothier.
He came on fresh from New York, knowing
nothing of Western ways, and he hadn't got bis
goods in before he was halt scared to death.
But for tbe fact that tho boys would have
bursted In his shanty, he would have kept the
door locked half tbe time. Tbe toughs soon
caught on to the fact that he was a coward,
and one after another went iu and bulldozed
him and had great fun at bis expense. I prl
vatoly advleod him to get a gun and wing some
of tbom, but he raised his hands In holy horror
andexolalmed:
" Great beafens I but I nefor handle noth
ings but clothing! I elf ton tousand dollar to
booudtof dlsl"
His cotrardlco wan pitiful to behold, but a cli
max was coming. Ono afternoon a tough called
Apache Joe entered the store, having three
more touch with him. and began tbe usual
routine. Tbe Jew beceod and entreated, and
actually cried, and In his dWgust at suoh con
duot Apacho Joe kicked him. That kick
acted like magic. The Jew sprang forward,
grabbed the rinolvor which Joo had tomporu
rlly deposited on lho counter, and I heard six
shots tired as fast us 1 could count, lltinnlng
In. 1 found Anacho Joe and ono ot
his chumx kicking tholr litRt. while the
other two were badly wounded. It took
three of us to hold lbn Jew from furtlior vio
lence Tho worm hud turned and become a
tiger. After lie waa acquitted by tho Coi oner's
jury, of which I was oue. he bought a braco ot
roiolvers. began to practise i-bontlng, and In
two weoks was known for fifty miles around
as "Tho Dangerous Jew." The most exag
gerated stories of nls prowess wero afloat, and
itmldo of a month he bad to build op, lilro two
clerks, and get u now stock. It was tho mak
ing of hint socially, financially, and all othor
ways, and I know that his action assisted very
materlully to help the law abtdors get the up
por hand and drive tho lawloBsgangsfurtheron.
