The other, taller by two or three feet, was decked with magni- ficent trails of blossom, white, shaped somewhat like honeysuckles, and hung on dangling strings of stalk.. three and four feet long.

A difficulty has arisen since the new super battle unit Hood hee been brought to virtual completion., Thisnientor, meneter, the largest. fighting unitalloat, afloat, left the Clyde a sheet time ago, "blister" and all. The occasion served to remind many Englishmen that the idea of disarmament le to be scrapped along with the obsolete battleships. The problem over this 835,000,000 floating beauty has been created by realization of the fact that only one naval base in England has a clock of sufficient dimensions to berth her. The original intention was that the Hood should proceed to Devonport, but this plan had to be abandoned at the elev- enth hour when it was found that the Heyham clock was too narrow to per- mit her to pass safely through. There- fore, the Hood was ..despatchbd to Rosyth, which promises to be the per- manent and abiding home of the new unit and any later sisters. • The docks at other naval bases, not- ably Devonport, were designed .to ac- commodate superdreadnaughis of the largest dimensions, but the breadth of the new and longer units has made the great docks useless. Aside from the abnormal size of the Hood, she carries below the waterline a great bulge oe 'blister," a safeguard against torpedoes, which increases her beam to 104 feet. So if the Hood stays out late at night she may not be able to find the way to her bed upon return- ing. Sound of Undersea Craft. Admiral Sir Richard Paget, formerly assistant secretary to the Admiralty Board of Invention end Research, was the hero of a startling incident in the war that has just come to light. Pro- fessor Bragg, speaking at the Royal Institution on sound and kindred sub- jects, told the story. During the war numerous experiments were mode In the attempt to devise meanz ok trap- ping submarines, and Sir Richer I took the leading role in one. Proceeding upon the idea that enb- marines passing through the water have and, give a certain noise which, ch, known and recognized, might trap them, the Admiral was stripped to kis waist and lowered over the side of a ship head first Into the water, un- der which. ho remained immersed to listen for any passing submarines, Af- er several experiments the Admiral was drawn up sputtering buttainaning from his throat the sound he hed heard under water.. That and othell'experi- silents established the sound ef the un- dersea craft, and wIten the tone of the submarine was later given to the various ships combating the menace, important results were forthcoming in the shape of sunken or damaged In boIattis understood that the honor of commanding the Hood has fallen to Capt.
