HALF AN HOUR UNDER WATER.
Experiment-with theXew Torpedo-
JJoat Xautllue A Successful Dive.
"Have you made your will ? "
"It's a splendid place down in there
/o die of asphyxia. "
These , says The New York Herald *
were some of the nerve-tickling com
" * monts hurled yesterday after a re
porter who chanced to be at Fort Ham
j on' J'n tllc nnrrows , and was about to
"undertake a weird trip to the bottom
of the bay on board of Lieut. Zalinski's
iron-tipped submarine torpedo boat ,
the Nautilus. The people on the dock
could aflbrd to be facetious ; they were
not going down into the depths. The
reporter was , and his answering laugh
therefore sounded perhaps a little
forced and raspy , but it was well in
tended.
The ! Nautilus has been "tied up" for
a , long time at the government pier at
Port Hamilton. Experiments have
been carried on meanwhile with great
activity by Lieut. Zalinski and by Mr.
Joseph Holland , an engineer , working
under the direction of his brother , Mr.
John Holland , of this city , who has
perfected the engines on board. Yes
terday's trial trip was intended to test
the value ot the experiments so long
going on , and which it was judged had
sufficiently progressed to warrant a
"dive. "
The reporter asked permission to
take this first dive. The lieutenant
said :
"You can go if you think you want
to chance it"
The "crew" of the boat was promptly
on band. It consisted of one man
a _ youthful , nervy fellow , selected for
h's utter disregard for the dangers of
the deep , and who has gained the ap
pellation of "The Dynamiter. " He
descended into the boat , which lay in
the water , rolling easily in the long
swells sent out by the oft-passing
steamers. The little craft looked like
a huge cigar a high-priced one and
pointed at both ends. The reporter
next followed the crew into the turret-
hole , and was soon joined by Lieut ,
Zalinski and the Holland brothers.
In a few minutes the engine was
started. The throb and thump of its
working and the short pulls from tho
air valves were painfully loud in the
"cabin. " . This air-compressor has
lately been perfected , and , though the
boat is not constructed with another
idea than to demonstrate the theory so
Jong ago advanced that submarine sail
ing is practicable , a speed of nine miles
an hour has been obtained. It worked
perfectly. The air is compressed
means of it until the tubes on the port
side have a pressure of eighty-live
. pounds per inch and on the opposite
something less.
"Close the turret , " said the lieuten
ant.
ant.A
A last look outside revealed a few
soldiers and civilians on the wharf and
a man lolling on his oars in a rowboat
watching the monster. In obedience
to the order the cap to the turret was
swung around by an inside lever and
stout clamps inside soon fastened it
firmly down so as to exclude the water.
Only the light which drifted in through
a bull's-eye and a row of small dead
lights illumined the cabin , and candles
were indispensable.
"Open your valve ! "
The crew turned a stopcock. Water
from the bay rushed into the. water-
chanibdrs enveloping the cabin and
into the diving-bell , and the boat be
gan to flesceud , with a slight tilting
forward , where the eight hundred
pounds in the diving-bell helped to
bear it down. On the inside could be
heard the plashing and lapping of the
water as the waves washed up within
the walls to the turret. Then the water
covered the shell entirely and the stern
settled more evenly with the bow. The
turret was soon half under. Down
went the boat faster and faster , and in
a moment more a wave washed com
pletely over its top.
That was a queer sensation.
It caused the breath to come quick
and , short for a minute , and ever-body
tried to be jolly.
"I've got a bucket of water hei'e , "
volunteered the lieutenant ; "but we
haven't any provisions. "
A nice prospect It is veny easy to
sink a boat , but to raise her is the
question. And something to eat would
be handin case the diver could not
rise , to last until search parties could
haul it to the surface , for her machin
ery inteht not work right And while
these thoughts "bobbed up serenely"
in one's mind the motion of the waves
was no longer felt , for the boat was
entirely submerged : The engine was
not working and .the boat wis at rest
on the bottom of the bay. Thus was
realized , though only in degree , Jules
Verne's imaginative "Twenty Thou
sand Leagues Under the Sea. "
It needed only a sliding panel in the
side to be opened and disclose the won
ders of the submarine depths. Fish
were perhaps nosing about the smooth
sides of the conical craft in wonder or
scurrying away from it in terror.
The panel scheme would be a good
one , but in lieu of it the "dead lights"
were handy. No fish , however , were
to be seen through them , but dead
leaves and seaweed floated about be
neath the surface , moved by the outgo
ing tide. Looking up through the
bull's eye in the crown or roof the
water was lighter. The sun's rays
drifted down "through it. making it
translucent , and objects , like shadows
passing on the surface cast below them
a deeper shadow still , which looked
queer in the wierd , greenish waters.
The water wa ? twelve feet deep there-
nbouts. The Xautilus , submerged , or
dinarily draws six feet An easy cal
culation showed the depth of the boat
A yacht might sail over it
And now an odd feeling became no
ticeable. The compressed air liberated
into the "cabin" Tendered the atmos
phere denser than under normal condi
tions , and there was a ringing in the
ears of those on board. Perspiration
was forced from the skin , although the
air was not warm , and the reporter's
collar began to wilt sadly.
"Let us go up. "
Mr. Holland finally suggested this
very calmly. Would "she go up ? "
Everybody "awaited the. Jesuit of the
order eagerly. The fate of the boat ,
maybe of its passengers , depended on
it At a signal the crew opened a
valve. A sound of rushing air from
the tubes indicated that the diving-bel
was being rid of its weight of water
How quickly it was all done. Onl }
fourteen seconds and relieved of onlj
800 pounds of water the boat rose unti
the top of the turret shot into the light
and air above the surface.
By manipulating two valves the
water was driven from the water cham
bers to the diving bell and thence
forced outside until eighteen inches o
the roof of the shell were out of the
water and the turret could bo un-
clamped. The dtiusc air in the boat
rushed out of the opening and the
pressure of the atmosphere was re
duced. The same strange ringing in
the ears , made the occupants of the
boat alive to that fact The adventur
ous quintet were soon welcomed by
tlieir friends on the dock. The vessel
had been half an hour on the bottom.
"That boats a Turkish bath all hol
low , " said one of them , looking down
at the perspiring divers.
"That settles the practicability of the
boat. " said Lieut. Zalinski. "It dem
onstrates that she can be directed ,
sunk and brought to the surface at the
will of her captain. I am greatly
pleased. "
STORIES OF CRIMINALS.
The Judgment of tlio Xiate Dr. Ellslia
Harris.
A young girl , incarcerated m the
Detroit house of correction , was over
heard praying aloud in her cell , and
these were her exact words : ' . 'O God ,
you do know that I want to be good ,
but somehow or other I can't"
A private house in Chicago was en
tered by a burglar in the evening , who
found the lady of the house in her bed
chamber. She had not yet gone to bed ,
and at the sight of her unexpected and
unwelcome visitor she fainted , where
upon he coolly proceeded to ransack
her bureau , and carried off all the
jewelry that he could find. A few days
later she received the following note
from him :
MADAM : As you lay upon
the floor the other evening , .you looked
so lovely that 1 was strongly impelled
to kiss you , but the instincts of a gen
tleman prevented me. "
A discharged prisoner entered the of
fice of the late Dr. Elisha Harris in
I ew York , one day and said : ' ! am
just out of the penitentiary. " Dr. Har
ris replied , "I am very glad to see you.
Take a seat What can I do for you ? "
The young man continued : "I want
to got honest work to do , and to lead
an honest life. Can you aid me to find
employment ? " Dr. Harris told him
that he thought that he might be able
to do so , and directed him to a lodging
lioude where he could remain for a few
days , when he would let him know the
result of his efforts in his behalf. He
happened to be acquainted with a gen
tleman who had occasion to hire a large
number of men in some manufacture ,
who.had . no objection to take convicts"
on trial , and his application to him in
the prisoner's name proved successful.
The young man was so attractive in his
appearance anil manners that the gen-
ilenuin and his wise both became deeply
interested in him , and wishing to be of
more use to him took him to their own
liouse , where they spared no pains to
influence him in the direction of amend
ment ; and right living. He apparently
softened under their gentle ministra
tions , professed to have become a
Christian , and expressed a desire to
unite with the church. Something of
i sensation was created in one of the
fashionable places of worship in the
city of Xew York one Sunday morn
ing , when his employer walked
down the aisle with him and stood by
lis side , as the rite of Christian baptism
was administered to him , Xot long
afterward the prisoner's new and faith-
: til friends met Dr. Harris aud asked
nm what he thought of their protege.
le said : "I do not think that he will
hold out" "Why not ? " "Oh , I can
not tell you. His looks , his gestures ,
iis whole manner seem'to indicate a
ratal lack of moral stamina. " "Why ,
doctor , " exclaimed the lady , "do you
mean to set limits to the grace of
God ? " "By no means , madam. The
erace of God can do everything for
everbody , but there are some men for
whom it seems , in fact , to do very lit
tle , and I incline to think that this
young man is one of them. " They
were rather indignant at his want of
confidence and lack of sympathy with
heir own enthusiasm. But time'rolled
on , and the young man disappeared.
le had been absent for some weeks ,
when he wrote the lacfy : "I can never
thank you as I ought for your very
jreat kindness to me. I am sorry to
lave requited it so badly , but the truth
s I could not stand an honest life. I
lid try , but would rather die with a
immy in my hand than be thegpossess-

There are sixty thousand darkies in

sand shade-trees in the streets. Wheth
er this be merely a curious coincidence ,
or whether the commissioners found

act remains. The trees are of no prac-
ical value until 10 or 15 years old. but

BUILDING A CHURCH.
What One-fifth of a Ticket In the I > on-
tatana State Lottery Will Do.
A few weeks ago the Blade noticed the
dedication of tho German Evangelical Lu
theran Lucas church , near the corner of
Broadway and Wulbridge avenue. The
church remains partially unfinished lor the
luck of funds.
Last Saturday evening Mr. Henry Sass ,
29 Western avenue , received § 5,000. Mr.
Sass held one-filth of ticket No. 77,227 ,
which drew thesecond capital prize of § 25-
000 in die drawing of the Louisiana State
Lottery company on July 13.
Mr. Sass is a member of the German Lu
theran church of which Rev. A. B. Weber
is pastor. He will loan at a low rate this
$5,000 to the new church , which but lor
the aid thus rendered would remain un
finished for lack of funds.
Mr. Sass is an honest German tailor
nearly 70 years of age. He has been a res
ident of this country about twenty years.
By his needle he has supported and raised
a large family. He is very popular in the
neighborhood where he lives , and the peo
ple there rejoice with him in his good for
tune.
This is the second time "within the lar.t
few months that § 5,000 prizes have been
drawn by citizens in the Filth ward. [ To

John A. Stewart , of the firm of Ledbeter
it Stewart , well-known contractors , whose
office is located in the basement at No. 5
Lafayette avenue , was one of the three for
tunate holders of a one-fifth interest in
ticket 19,400 , which drew § 10,000 at the
July drawing of The Louisiana State Lot
tery. A Tribune representative found Mr.
Stewart last evening at his elegant home at
73G Cass avenue , and learned from his own
lips the story of his luck. He said :
"Some time before the July drawing my
friends W. J. Sullivan and William Herte-
bus qf this city and myself parted with § 5
each and received therefor fifteen different
pieces of pasteboard representing a one-
fifth interest in fifteen different tickets. It
was my first venture. Of course we ex
pected nothing , but judge of our surprise
when we received notice that ticket No.
19,406 , in which we had a fifth interest ,
had drawn § 10,000. Shortly after a check
for § 2,000 was received , and we forthwith
divided the money equally. " [ Detroit

PATIENTS.
By our original system of diagnosis , we can treat many chronic
diseases just as successfully without as with a personal con-
sultatiou. While we are always glad to see our patients , and
become acquainted with them , show them our institutions , and
familiarize them with our system of treatment , yet we have not
Been one person in flve hundred whom we have cured. The per
fect accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the
most minute particulars in their several departments , appears
almost miraculous , if we view it in the light of the early ages.
Take , for example , the electro-magnetic telegraph , the greatest
invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy
which enables an operator to exactly locate a fracture in a sub
marine cable nearly three thousand miles long ? Our venerable
" clerk of the weather " has become so thoroughly familiar with
the most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately
predict their movements. Ho can sit in Washington and foretell
what'the weather will be in Florida or New York as well as if
several hundred miles did not intervene between him and the
places named. And so in all departments of modern science ,
- , , . . _ , what is required is the knowledge of certain
- sftfns. From these scientists deduce accurate con
clusions-regardless of distance. So , also , in medi
cal science , diseases have certain unmistakable
signs , or symptoms , and by reason of this fact , we
have been enabled to originate and perfect a sys
tem of determining , with the greatest accuracy ,
the nature of chronic diseases , without secimr and personally
It is a well-known fact , and one that appeals to the judgment of every thinking person , that the physician who devoirs
his whole time to the study and investigation of a certain class of diseases , must become better qualitled to treat such
diseases than he who attempts to treat every ill to which flesh is heir , without giving special attention to any class of diseases.
Men. in all ages of the world , who have become famous , have devoted their lives to some special branch of science , art , or
By thorough ortranization , and subdividing the practice of medicine and surgery in this institution , every invalid is treated
by a specialist one"who devotes his undivided attention to the particular class of diseases to which the case belongs. The
advantage of"this arrangement must be obvious. Medical science offers a vast field for investigation , and no physician can ,
within the brief limits of a life-time , achieve the highest degree of success in the treatment of every malady incident to humanity.

HEIGHT'S DISEASE , D3ABETES , and

DISEASES been pronounced beyond hope. These diseases arc
, readily diagnosticated , or determined , by chemical
analysis of the urine , without a personal examina
tion of patients.vho can , therefore , generally be
successfully treated at their homes. The study and
practice of chemical analysis and microscopical examination of
the urine in our consideration of cases , with reference to correct
diagnosis , in which our institution long ago became famous , has
naturally led to a very extensive practice in diseases of tho urinary
organs. Probably no other institution in the world has been so
largely patronized by suffers from this class of maladies as the old
and world-famed World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel. Our
specialists have acquired , through a vast and varied experience ,
great expertness in determining the exact nature of each case ,
and , hence , have been successful in nicely adapting their remedies
for the cure of each individual case.
These delicate diseases should be carefully treated

made ( which can only be ascertained by a careful chemical and
microscopical examination of the urine ) , for medicines which are
curative in one stage or condition are known to do positive injury
in others. We have never , therefore , attempted to put up anything
for general sale through druggists , recommending to cure these
diseases , although possessing very superior remedies , knowing full
well from an extensive experience that the only safe and success
ful course is to carefully determine the disease and its progress in
each case by a chemical and microscopical examination of the
urine , and then adapt our medicines to the exact stage of the dis
