Tbs fr«t submarine craft which real ly nnrlgstM) coder ser.ocs rood;!joes . was the Invention of an American, Daniel Bwlmeii of 8a j brook. Coca. Bmbftcti was graduated from Tale | in 1775 and ia that same year com pleted the submarine veasel oo which be had been at work six*?* I77L He . does not seem to bare named the boat himself. Trot It ha* eome to be known as the Turtle because of it* shape. The entrance to the vessel corre sponded to the opening made by the swells of a turtle shell at Its bead. • The boat was a boat seven and s half feet kxig and six feet deep. Urge enough to contain the operator and sufficient air to last him half an b>ur. It was ballasted ehefly with perms- ' pent lead ballast. In addition to this, a mass of lead pounds hi weight J coaid be let down forty or fifty feet below the vessel enabling the operator to anchor or to rise quickly to the sar face in case of accident. A water gauge illuminated by means of a cork with phosphorus on it, which j floated oo the water within the gang*, registered the depth of the Turtle By means of a compass, also illuminated with phosphorus, the operator sraa abJa to direct the coarse of bis Teasel. An oar formed on the principle of an old fashioned screw was fixed in the forward part of the Turtle. The operator by taming it in one direction could propel the vessel forward or in (he other coaid propel it bnckward. Anotber oar. placed near tha top of the Turtle, worked on the name prin ciple. By means of the latter the operator, after having established the J equilibrium of the vessel. could move It either upward or downward. A rod der la the after part of the Ttfrtle could j be used for sculling. The entrance to the boat was elliptic al and so small as to barely admit one person. It was surrounded by a broad elliptical iron band, the lower edge of j which was let lntb the wood. Above tbe upper edge of this iron band ; was a crown resembling a hat. It rhut water tight upon tbe iron band, to which It was hung with hinges, turning oyer sideways when opened. In tbe crown were three round doors,! one directly in front and one on each ' aide, and large enough to put the hand I through. Tbe*e. whan opened, admit ted fresh -air. Their shut ter* were ; ground perfectly tight and were hung ; with hinge* There were several#*** windows tn tbe crown for tte.juiinU- sion of light and two air pipe*. A ventilator drew fre-h air through one of tbe pipe* and discharged,it at tbe bottom of tbe vessel. The Impure air escaped through the other pipe. These, of course, were used only when the Turtle was floating on the surfsce of tbe water. The valves opened au tomatically when they came out of the water and rioted as soon as they en tered It. When the operator wished to de scend be pieced his foot cn tbe lever of tbe valve, by which means he open ed a large aperture in tbe bottom of the vessel, thereby allowing the water to enter the tank. When a sufficient quantity had been obtained to cause the vessel to descend very gradually ho closed the valve. The nurture un der this valve wa* covered by a per forated plate. The water could be discharged from the tank by the brass force pump. When the vessel leaked ihe bilge coaid be pumped out by a similar pump. Everything In the Turtle was brought so near the oi>erator that he could find in the dark what he wished and without turning either to the right or to the left A firm piece of wood was framed parallel to tbe short diam eter of tbe vessel to prevent the sides from yielding. This also served ns a seat for the operator. In tbe fore part of the brim of the brass crown was o socket with an iron tube passing through it. At tbe top of the tube was a wood screw fixed by mcaus. of a rod which passed through tbe tube. When the wood screw had l»een made fast to some ob ject it could lie cast off by unscrewing the rod. Behind the vessel and above the rudder was attached a magazine composed of two blocks of oak wood, hollowed out so as to bold 150 pounds of powder. This was fired by a percus sion device, timed by means of clock work. A rope extended from the mag- axlne to the wood screw. To destroy a ship the operator was to submerge the Turtle, navigate it un til it was underneath the ship that wafe to be destroyed, screw the wood screw Into her bottom, cast off tbe magazine and move away. The magazine, being buoyant, would immediately rise against the bottom of the ship. The clockwork which fired It was started by the casting ofT of the magazine and gave the operator time to retire to a safe distance. Bushnell made many trials of the Turtle before sending it against a Brit ish vessel. He found It very difficult to obtain n skillful operator. Id re spect to this part of his work he wrote as follows: “In the first essay with the subma rlne vessel I took care to prove Its strength to sustain the great pressure of the incumbent water when sunk deep before I trusted any person to descend much below the surface, and I never suffered any person to go under water without having a street piece of rigging made feet to K osdl I found j him wen acquainted with the opera j tieos seccwarr for his safety. "A/ter tkit I made him descend sod eos’lsce at particular depths without ri*U-g or sinking, row by the compass, approach a v«-awei. fn coder her slJ [ fix the wood screw Into her bottom an j tU I thought biui sufficiently expert to ! put ay design into operation. *1 found, agrees I»ic to my expects j tloos* tkit It required many trials to | make a person of common Ingenuity a { aki'ilfcl operator. Tbe first I employed was very Ingenious, bat was taken sick in the campaign of 177C at New Tork before be had an opportunity to mak» use of his skill and never recovered Li* health sufficiently afterward." In the summer of 1778. when Adrni j ral Howe lay with a formidable British fleet ia New York Uj, a little below j tbe Narrow*. Bu»hoe!l attempted to destroy one of his «hlp*. the Eagle, of sixty-four guns. The operator whom ' tbe inventor selected to make tbe ex- f perimcct was Sergeant Ezra Lee. He had had little experience with tbe t Turtle and was therefore Inexpert. Lee. however, succensfully navigated tbe Turtle under tbe Eagle. He at- ; tempted to fix tbe wooden qrrew into I her bottom, but strrfck. as he supposed., n bar of Iren which passe*] from tbe j rudder hinge and was spiked under ■ tbe ship's quarter. Bushnel! safal that had Lee “moved a few In be*. whPh be might bavej dot:#* without rowing. I have no doubt j bat be would have f *Und wood wbe.’?! be might hare fixe*] the screw, or if tbe ship were sbeatbed with copier be j might easily have pierced it; but. not !«lng well skilled tn the management J of the vessel. In attempting to move to j another fUace be loot tbe ship. After 1 seeking for some time be rowed some' distance snd rose to tbe surface of the) water, bat found daylight bad ad t ranre.1 so far that be durst not renew ‘ tbe attem]»t-~ On his return from tbe Eagle. I-ee, passed near Governors island, which; was then occupied by tbe British. Be lag in baste and thinking be was dhi- ‘ covered by tbe enemy, be cast off tbe magazine, supposing that It retarded bis movement. After an boar, the time tbe mechanism was set to run. the magazine exploded with great violence, to tbe consternation of tbe enemy. Two subsequent attempts were made with tbe Turtle against tbe British shipping. In one of these tbe operator succeeded in getting bis vessel under Death a British ship, but tbe tide ran so ctrong tbe Turtle was swept away Finally the British sunk an American boat which hai tbe Turtle on board. Tbe Investor afterward recovered his vessel, but did nothing further with it. HIs health was poor, and be was un able to obtain money and assistance with which to proaecnte bla experi ments—Nary. DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSES SICKNESI Modern People Have Many Names for Sat Diseases, According to New Belief. Does human health ilepenrt on one encan alone’ This question I* lj«om- loc widely discussed since L- ‘ Cooper am ndranced hla theory that ..— {« the true seat oi me the stomach is the true seat ud all health dependent upon It. Mr. Cooper, who has met with re markable success In the sale of his near medicine, believes that the stom ach la responsible for most sickness, and that this organ Is weak In the present generation. While dlscuBBlng this theory recently, he said: 1 1 am anted time and again to tell why my medicine has made such a record whereTer 1 have Introduced It. My answer always Is, "because It restores the stomach to a normal condition." No one will deny that today there are more half-sick men and women than ever before. Nothing critical seemB to be the matter with them. They are just half-sick most of the time. They don’t know really what Is the matter with them. I have talked with thou sands during the past two years, and few knew Indeed what their trouble was. One said nervousness, another said kidney trouble, another liver com plaint. some constipation, or heart trouble, or lung trouble. Many had treated, as they called It, for most of these diseases at different times. A very common complaint Is "all run down." or "tired all the time,’ or "no appetite. “I know positively that every bit of this chronic III health Is caused by stomach trouble, and nothing else My New Discovery pnts the stomach In sound condition In about six weeks. Mighty few people can be sick with s sound digestion. Thu Is why my Idne Is railing St such s tremei rate. I have convinced many n. Bands of people that these things so, and tbe number Is growing leaps and bounds.” Among more recent converts to L Cooper's beliefs Is Mr. Edgar L Hla* living at 6 Tappan Street, Ere*- Mass. Mr. Hinds has this to aayg the subject: I "I have suffered with stomadl trouble for eight years. I was not sM enough to be In bed, but Just felt bt* all the time. My greatest trouble that 1 always felt Cred, would getajl In the morning feeling ss tired u| when I went to bed. 1 "I had a vyy Irregular appetite sail was troubled with dizzy spell.- If |l stood for any length of time. I woulll have a dull pain In the lower part oil my back. I was nervous and felt ta| the time as though something terrtblil was going to happen. I tried man,I klnda of medicine, bat nothing helped me. "I had about given up all hope oil ever being In good health again, whejl I heard so much of Cooper and del cldod to try his medicine. I took onsl bottle of his New Discovery and wul greatly surprised at the result l| gained 12 pounds in a few weeks. ]l can now eat anything I wish, and foell like n new man. I cheerfully recon. I mend this medicine to all cnfforenl from stomach trouble.” It Is worth anyone’s time, who Is not I enjoying good health, to learn of Mr. I Cooper’s wonderful preparations W»| are selling them In large otunUtlet —E. Bradford. 1 Good Tough .Medicine for Children The season for cough* and colds is now st band and too much care can not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract dlptheria or scarlet fever when he has cold. The quicker you cure his cold the leas Use risk. Chamberlain 1 * Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mr*. F. F. Starcher. of Ripley, W. Va., says, “I have never used anything other than Chamber lain's Cough Remedy for ray child ren and It has always given good satisfaction.’’ This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given a* confidently to a child as to an adult.
