NOME, ALASKA, JULY 11 ,1916.
The remarkable capacity of th Ger
mans for "doing things” is again
vividly illustrated in the feat of the
submit l ine Deutchland.
As much as the world has been
previously amazed at the wonderful
proficiency of the Germans in till
tilings to which they have devoted
tlieius! Ives this last achievement in
the mechanical) Held cannot but evoke
further wonder.
Of late the war lias taught us to
look upon the mechanical capacities
of the Gentians as something far be
yond tlie ordinary. In a general sense
it was recognied that their abilities
in I he Held of mechanical arts were
not of a sufficiently high order to
cause them lo tie classed as an in
. uu.c nation, although Germans ure
Will, many mechanical inven
tions. Gather they produced the im
pression that they were remarkably
atiaptivc rather than inventive.
Their great guns and other instru
ci.ci of destruction were sufficient
. iidiivs 1.1 ilds remarkable capacity
i>>r no i li,lineal development.
They have evoked our wonder time i
and time again by the display of
sup; ■ mechanical feature of warfare,
which, while not new, in the sense
that tlie same principles hud fre
quently been applied elsewhere, had
been brought to a most astonishing
point of development under the skill
ful handling of German mechanics.
Hut, while we have admired the
German achievements in this line, one
could not forbear the thought that
this wonderful ability in mechanical
adaption was principally devoted to
efforts of a sinister order, to the crea
tion of instruments of destruction,
gigantic guns, powerful engines, the
only purpose of which was to destroy.
Thus while admiring tlie German
acliivements in this line, tlie fact that
they were displayed in such fearsome
forms naturally tended to destroy an
accurate appreciation of just what
i hey have accomplished in the field of
mechanics.
As wonderfully complicated in me
chanical expression as are those giant
instruments of war so suddenly dis
closed on that memorable August day
two years ago, one was unable to
properly realize their mechanical per
fections in the midst of the horror
created by their capacities for de
struction. To the majority of people
it was the destructive features that
impressed rather than the wonderful
adaption of mechanical principles that
made them possible.
The ingenuity and mechanical abil
ity entailed in their production was
recognized hut little. This same view
also applied to the German subma
rine development, in the beginning
. .n'Ti"ii~-fii r„- - - --.TTTir-r iirnTi t
; Relict
I they wore looked upon rs merely an
other frightful means of destruction
which had been brought to extraor
dinary development under the skill
ful hands of German mechanics. It
seldom occurred that the deadly un
der water boats might ho developed
to the point that they could be turn
ed to remarkable account In other
directions. Lost in the contempla
tion of their revolutionary effect on
Haval warfare as displayed in the
fearful destruction of ships of oppos
ing combatants, the though hardly
occurred that one day they should bo
developed by the same hands to the
degree that they could be looked upon
as serviceable instruments of peace
and employed in ways diametrically
opposed to those in which they were
originally devoted.
Yet the wonderful voyage Just com
pleted is a vivid illustration that (he
dreaded sea terrors have become in
German bands* something more than
an engine of war—that they can and
arc being devoted to uses that may
ultimately become of great benefit
to the world. Instead of a deadly in
strument of destruction the subma
rine has now become a factor of gen
era! service a peaceful merchant
ship, ready to carry the commodities
of peace as well as the necessities of
war.
And practically the whole develop
ment is a triumph to the mechanical
ingenuity of the Gormans who were
the first to recognize the submarine
both as a weapon of war and an'in
strument of peace.
Whether the submarine in its no.\
capacity will become an important
factor in the final determination of
the war will remain to be seen.
It is clear that the present develop- j
menl of the craft makes it capable
of performing a mighty service in as
sisting the Germans to withstand the
onslaughts of their enemies.
It is doubtless futile to believe that
it will become an effective agent in
assisting the Germans to victory but
It is not to be doubted that it will
prove greater in the peaceful pursuit
of carrying necessities to the beleag
urert German empire than ns an In
strument whose sole ottlcc was de
struction. Whatever development is
attained is due almost entirely to the
Germans and the added use they have
demonstrated in the voyage of the
Deutschland entitles them to fulsome
praise.
LIGHTEST WOOD.
At cording lo the Scientific Ameri
can supplement, the lightest wood in
i nis enco is tile wood ambueh, a leg
uminous plant that grows near Isike
Child and on the tributaries of the
upper Nile. The tree, which Is some
times called the pith tree, often at
tains a diameter of six Inches in the
two or three years of Its life. When
cut the wood is almost white, and
is soft and brittle like the pith of the
elder. Some of the wood is exported
to the United States and England to
make floats for fishing tackle, and
in general to be used as a substitute
for cork. Arbach wood contains min
ute crystals of calcium oxalate, which
quickly dull the axes and knives of
the choppt rs. On the other hand, the
presence of the crystals makes the
wood, it is said, an excellent substi
tute for the usual razor strop.
