Denver Youlh Perfects Boat, the Feats of Which Are Almost
I Bsyond the Comprehension of the Human Mind

v . ItsMovements Bewilder
" the Eye
Three hundred pounds of Iron, cop
per, steel, shnped to a bl-polntcd
cylinder , lay, motionless on tho sur
iaco of tho swimming pool at tho
Broadway natatorlum In Denver.
Then somebody touched an elec
tric button and tho thing shot
out toward tho center polo of tho
. .swimming tank. It wont arrow-llko
to within a foot of tho polo, and
thoso who had assembled to seo tho
exhibition held tholr breath for fear
the Httte flvo-foot model of the J.M.
Cage submarlno torpedo boat was go
ing to dash Itsolf to pieces. But tho
man at tho switchboard In tho gallery
touched another button. The metal
lic cylinder veered quickly to tho
rlcht. at another touch turned to tho
left 'and swung .neatly around tho
pool.
1 Then a strango thing happened.
The craft paused for ono second In
its swift darting.. -the, man at tho
'switchboard touched another button,
thero was a great whirling of water,
a few bubbles, and tho surface of tho
pool was still oyer tho spot where
,ho boat had disappeared. Far down
in the water those with keen enough
sight could make out the vague out
line of the white painted man-made
fish. It was lylns quietly on tho bot
tom. ' , ." .
Tho slightest touch .of a switch
brought the, outline Into' relief, as the
boat came to within two feet of the
surface and lay still. Then at that
depth the odd creation swam quickly
around the pole again, darted out of
the water for a second time and dis
.appcaied as before. There seemed
to bo nothing that a fish could do
that this craft could not. .Indeed, it
4did more than a fish coulil do. They
steered It to the eilge of tho pool and
men added leaden weights to the
iho board to overcomo the buoyancy.
They let it sink of Its own weight to
the bottom of tho pool. Tho man at
the switchboard turned another
switch, bubbles betokened tho strug
gle that was going on at tho bottom,
and In a few seconds the sturdy ma
chine bore bravoly to the surface,
bearing with it the leaden ballast.
They made the boat spin about on
its own axis like a submerged top.
They made it dart, stop suddenly, re
treat, veer to tho left and right,
plungo instantly out of sight, run like
n mountain trout under water and
leap to the surface. Tho spectators
could seo all this. Tho boat had
boon painted white especially to en
able it to be' seen through tho water.
Had It been painted black or a dark,
water-colored brown, tho exhibition
would have been almost weird.
The strangest feature of all Is tho
fact that this, boat, which actually
did all tho 'feats that the navy
department at Washington has
declared to be impossible under ex
isting conditions, has been made In
the heart of what easterners still
love to call tho Great American des
ert and made by a Denver boy, the
son of a Methodist preacher, a boy
who conceived tho general plan of his
Invention when only 14 years old,
and who has brought it to working
perfection at tho ago of 21.
Professor Robert Casey, tho pro
moter and business manager for tho
inventor, drew up recently a list of
12 things which this boat can do and
which cannot bo done by any other
boat in tho world. This list was for
warded to Washington, and the navy
offlcials after reading, frankly de
clared that tho things mentioned

was dono beforo a crowd of Invited
guests at the natatorlum.
Tho list of feats was published as
a prospectus. It is now a list of
feats actually accomplished by a
miniature model of tho boat.
1. It will submerge instantly on
level keel, without diving or plung
ing, and will follow a perpendicular
lino to any given depth.
2. It can descend, halt and re
main stationary on level keel at any
required depth In the water.
3. It can ballast so as to sink to
tho sea-floor, and, remain there CO
hours, If necessary.
4. While so submerged, it can
rlso to the surface at any time at the
will of tho operator, and that.without
discharging ballast.
5. It can lift several tons from
tho scafloor over and -above its1, own
buoyancy, rising to tho surface. '
C. It can turn in cither direction
on its vertical axis.
T
7. Lxcopt when purposely- bal
lasted to remain upon the sea-lloor,
it maintains a constant buoyancy,
which, in case of accident to its ma
chinery, will cause the boat to come
to the surface.
8t Whllo submerged and station
ary in the water it can discharge a
torpedo and Instantly compensate for
tho lost weight without taking in ad
ditional ballast 'or by doing so if the
operator desires it.
9. It .discards storage batteries
and has instead a perpotual motive
enorgy of 700-horse power.
10. It can double (and It is be
lieved can triple) the speed of any
known boat, whether while sub
merged or upon tho surface.
11. When put into full action it
will have a life of 00 hours before Its
fuol will have to be renewed.
12. It can bo operated by one
man and for its most efficient work
will requiro a crew of but five men.
It is stated confidently by Mr.
Cago, tho inventor, and by Professor
Casey, tho promoter, that the com
pleted nnd full-sized boat will be
able to cross tho Atlantic without a
pause and at a rato faster than that
of any fighting ship. Tho boat car
ries air enough to last a crew of five
men CO hours under water if neces
sary, but it is not conceivable that
such a necessity could ever arise.
It Is to be run by electric motors
generating their own current in the
boat itsolf by means of a gasoline en
gine which will work under water
just as well as on tho surface. So
that it will bo possible, if need be,
for the boat to dip to the founda
tions of the Statue of Liberty in New
York harbor and remain submerged
until it shall rise to tho surface of

Tho now features of tho boat de
pend lnrgoly upon tho propelling sys
tem which has beoh invented by Mr.
Cage. Eight separate propollors,
each controlled by a switch, in the
conning towor of tho boat, hro the
Instruments which give It Its flsh-llke
agility In the water. There nre two
horizontal propcllois at each end, one
set driving tho boat forward, the
other reversing Its horizontal pro
gress. By running the right-hand
propellor in the bow simultaneously
with tho loft-hnnd propellor In the
stern, the boat can be mado to
turn upon Its axis, and It Is by the
proper manipulation of these propol
lors, separately and in combination,
that tho steering is dono without a
rudder.
Then thero are four other propel
lors to run the submerging dovlco.
This scheme is absolutely now. At
each end of the boat Is a round
"well" in which work twb propellors
In opposite directions. Tho shaft
revolution of these drag the boat in
stantly and with level keel to the
bottom. By reversing tho motion
tho boat comes just as speedily to the
top, draggig with it heavy weights
if necessary. This feature may
make the boat usoful for commer
cial purposes.

In (3 hen Jail Berth.
OITicer Carter was called Thursday
night nbout three o'clock to a house
on tho corner of Third and Second
streets to care for a drunken woman.
Tho house is owned by a local China
man and is occupied by two colored
women. Ono of these women made
the complaint and asked that the
woman bo removed. Mr. Carter
found the woman against whom the
complaint was entered to bo Mrs. A.
Egenoff, who lives in North Bend or
In tho vicinity of that city.
She had been boisterously drunk
nnd was still In this condition when
Carter arrived on tho scene. No one
seemed to care about offering any
Information as to where tho refresh
ments came from which had such a
distressing effect upon tho victim.
Mrs. Egenoff is of Indian descent
and consequently, is not supposed to
know where to obtain inebriating
liquids. She was taken to the cala
booso by Carter and Nlghtwatchman
Condron, where sho remained until
morning, and when sobered, was
turned loose on deposit of a seven
dollar ball by a male friend.
