SUBMARINE WAR

We ind an article 10 late number of
the Revue Encyclop@dique, on submarine
navigation and war. Although the sub
jsct is very generally regarded as one OF
modern invention, the reviewer mentions
experiments OF this description made Sc.
verai centuries ago.
Divers were employed 10 ancient times.
and 10 the middle ages. to raise precious
things from the water, to cut away the Ca
bles aud to injuTe the bottoms OF enemies
vessels. and also to convey intelligence.
money, and even provisions, to besieged
places. The invention of diving ma
chimes 10 likewise very ancient. Aristo-
tle mentions the conlnose and the d,ring
clock as things very common in his time;
and some writers of the 18th century have
declared, though on uncertain authority,
that Alexander the Great used to sail in
submarine boat, Ii is certain, however,
That diving machines have been in ocCa.
sional use during and since the 18th cen.
tury.
sAbout the end Of the 18th century, the
inhabitants of the Ukraine made use OF
large canoes, with which they plunged
uader water, 10 escape the pursuit OF The
Grand Seignor's gallies. Several authors
OF that epoch have published descriptions
OF submarine vessels. The learned ia.
ther Mersenne is the earliest author who
bias written 10 tuIl on boats OF this descrip-
ton, and thought of fitting them up for de-
stroying vessels capable only of sailing on
the surface. This author observes, that
besides the advantages and the resources
hitherto known. which would resu: from
the practice oil this art, submarine vessels
would aid in the recovery OF things sunk
10 the water, the fishery oil coral and
pearls. and great variety of scientific ex-
.Pe:iments and discoveries Finally, he

vessels would have the power of Destroy
