equip ment mont the problem of fitting in your do outfit is a pretty one In the kitchen arrangements of No uNo 7 i this problem lisa has been fully met The sits sils are gre ar models of completeness and compactness The electric range is a The lighting too will be done by electricity and such heating as QI may maybe maybe be required is similarly provided for There will m be little need for tor heating beating however as IS the quarters are so o close The ventilation will be he perfect more perfect than could possibly be found on the best appointed ocean greyhound and this whether the tile boat is running j jon on the surface with fiUt her hatch batch open or i under water with everything buttoned down tight There is an automatic ar 81 arrangement for discharging the air in inthe inthe the ship hip and renewing it with a steady supply from the compressed air tanks that are always kept filled tIlted under high I pressure As a result of this arrange arrangement arrangement ment there will be he none of the usual stickiness found in the atmosphere of surface ships Like the Holland HolIad No 7 is ks cigar shaped The dimensions dim s tad and nd form forn of the new boLt boat are considerably c greater however than fh n those thos of her hei predecessor recently turned over to the United States gov government government government The rhe Holland is 54 M feet 4 inches loPS long with a diameter of 10 feet j 3 I inches Jer displacement on the sur sut surface fact face is 65 t tons ns submerged 75 tons Her Hr I engine has only 45 horsepower hor power as 88 1 against ISO IhO horsepower in the tite new boat bot The length of No uNo 7 is feet I 4 inches diameter 11 feet 5 9 Inches and her interior arrangements are such I that there is s about twice as much room I for her crew as there is for the men men in inthe inthe the Holland Her displacement when whan I on the surface is tons and sub submerged submerged merged tops tone I As large as Practical I Though a larger and a heavier boat bout than the Holland No 7 i is much livelier and easier to handle she represents the extreme type ty in stat nbc accord lag to Mr Holland A larger vessel he declares will m never be practicable The Plunger one of the earlier boats that was wa built according to government demands is over eighty feet long Mr Holland was forced to make her that I size siz but he gives it as his opinion that she will ill never be really valuable on I this account She is 10 8 building hav hay having havIng ing been changed again and again ac according according according cording to suggestions from the navy department It is considered doubtful if jf the Plunger will wilt ever be placed regularly in commission as the Hol land has been She is awkward to handle even under the most favorable conditions and she has been so S loaded down inside with clumsy machinery i I and appliances that there is scarcely I room to get about in No uNo 7 though about twenty feet shorter has fully I I three times Umes as much room roomI I A unique arrangement has been in InI j I ed In No 7 r U for handling the j i water Hater ballast a particularly import i ant element In submarines Nearly a at aton ai t i ton of water can be ejected from the I ballast ballaRt tanks in three seconds as she is rising thus allowing h t r turret to project above e the water vater for the pur purpose ur pose pore po e of o Q it ing the enemy Almost at the the tank I s again orrt t j so that she pops P IS 1 up then again with incredible ible rol l Ity ing her captain in inthe inthe inthe the turret ju time enough to get a full vieW of f whatever may be on the surface and She e enemy no time to I sight her guns and tire The most striking quality possessed po I Iby by No uNo 7 i to shipbuilders I is that she sh can operate at will ivill in fresh freshwater freshwater water as well as 88 to hi salt This no other uther ever been able to tl t do doShe doShe t She he can the ocean into a river and div freery treely hi In either And I what wha t is considered conSi ever more remark remarkable able she can ean operate p tte with equal equa free freedom I dom dont at the point Where the fresh and a d I Isalt I salt water mingle m This property is due to a 8 new of ot water I ballast that enabled g her to 10 overcome the th j I I I difficulties presented p ted In h diving where I j Ithe the specific gravity gr of water changes as it i does r ocean to river or the reverse ree The V ie of this property in war is not hard fo o Appreciate elate It gives the new boat a imich larger field of operation In such as New York where the Hudson Hud on becomes fr fresh a afew afew few miles up front froni Manhattan lI attan Island The Th Holland was wi Rev y handicapped by the lack ot o 0 tills this ability and an her failure to mC the approval or of the board of inspection at t a trial on April 20 1898 was argey ascribed to the absence of the th frh fr sh and salt water navigating qualities Launching Tills Tl s month Throughout this Ibis article articie the new boat has been referred to as No 7 i This is at present nt her official designation d tion she being the seventh vessel easel

Bushnell In honor c of the man wh operated the first submarine in Amer America ica lea The boat will be in shipshape by bythe byth bythe the th end of this month It is the in intention intention then to take her for a 8 series aeries of trial trips up and down d wn the coast Everything about her hel will be thor thoI thoroughly thoroughly ott hb tested before long journey journe is begun If she
