A Queer Boat.

LThe Detroit Boat Company is con-
structing n submarine craft Of which
great results arc expected. The vessel Is
forty feet long, nine feet beam and four
teen feet depth OF hold. Mechanics say it
Is almost similar to the submarine torpedo
both. Electric storage batteries will be
used for storing oxygen, giving light and
furnishing the motive power. The i'm
provemcnt over the torpedo boa. is
claimed in the buoyancy OF the craft,
which will come to the surface as the
electric moter is stopped, whereas the
machinery OF the torpedo boat must be
working to bring 1t TO the surface Of the
water. Besides wheel Mt the stern, there
will DO two wheels on either side .of the
new craft. Turning an electric switch
will cause tho boat to rise or plunge deep
or In tho water. 1t is being built as u
pleasure craft but II it proves successful
the government will be requested consider
its construction as II torpedo boat.
