Unsinkable Ship.

The New York Tribune" describes Mr. W: W. Wother- spoon's Boheme for making ships asinkable by using com ressed air to force water from flooded compartments. It says: What has been done in the United States Navy, first experimentally and then conclusively, in apply- ing the air pressure safety system to some of our Dreadnoughts built, and the latest and largest of them planned, is the best reason for the general adoption of this method of safeguarding sea-going mer chant oraft, especially big pas- enger liners, whose size and

risks they run. bigh speeds actually multiply the

Mr. Wotherspoon proposes that all of the compartments from stem to stern and from keel up" to the top of the watertight sub- division should be made so that they could be filled with com- pressed air. Of course, this is merely by way of precaution, be- cause only these compartments that might be damaged or those supporting the injured spaces would be filled with the The idea of 80 buoyant air.

much air under pressure probably seems like a staggering obstacle to the successful working of the system, but, in fact, that is the least difficult part of the problem, All of these big ships are now equipped with air compressora for different outine purposes, and these would be available in case of accident to charge the required~- compartments. Bat Mr. Wother spoon proposes a very sensible modification, and that is that a compressor plant for this service, with its own bailer equipment, should be placed up above the water-line and centrally located, where it would not be likely to suffer derangement in case of the vessel colliding with an iceberg or Fans, Swimming Tank, Orchestra, Amusements, being injured in some other man- Wireless, Submarino Signal Service, and Bilge Keols, Cuisine ner below water.

Viewed in any light, this would represent bat a trifling insurance premium against the lives and property at stake.. Admitting that the dou- ble skin is added protection, com- pressed air would many times increase the measure of security in the hour of accident. Mr Wotherspoon would use the pipes for compressed air primarily designed to fight against the sea -to carry a non-combustible gas to the seat of a fire, thus makin these conduits available for either service of the emergency might,, demand.
