A SUBMARINE BOAT
Tested at Detroit and Proven a Success


rested at Detroit ana frOVen success
In Every Particular.
DETROIT, April 12.-The nameless sub
marine boat that has been building here
the past winter was Saturday given a
thorough trial under water, and was
proven to be success in every particu-
lar. With crew of three on board, the
boat started from its docks on the River
Rouge, just below the city, and at first
skinned along over the surface toward
the Detroit river. It was then sub
merged, going down gradually and
under perfect control of the pilot.
Under water the boat was able to attain
speed of over ten miles an hour, to
turn around, rise or sink with the great
est ease.
The boat was submerged several
times under different circumstances and
proved that the peculiarly constructed
propellers were well adapted to their
purpose. 1t was proven that in sinking
or rising the boat maintained a hori-
Zontal position, matter of great i'm
portance in a submarine boat. The
boat is equipped to run by steam power
while on the surface, but underneath
the water the motive force comes from
powerful electric storage battery, the
cells being charged by the same engine
that runs the boat on the surface. Tn
trial was perfect success, and shovel
that a submnrine boat is not only posi-
BILE, but practicable.
The advantages of such a craft fo,
torpedo service in harbor defense in
times of war will be readily suggested
to naval engineers. The present boat
was built only as an experiment. 1t is
of the shape of a thick cigar, with
pointed ends and compressed sides, being
40 feet lonc IA feet deep and 8 fleet
beam. Its inventor is George G. Baker,
of Chicago, who was formerly at the

SHIP CANALS.

Manchester, England. is spending over
100000. 600 on twenty-six-foot canal only
thirty-fve and a half miles long. The
story of the Manchester ship canal shows
that this great project founi the same
local jealousy to contend with in parlia-
ment that blocks kindred enterprises in
congress. 1t was only after long and
costly struggle between Manchester and
Liverpool that parliament passed the ship
canal act.
The first fight before parliament occu-
pied the whole of one session, and ended
in favor of Liverpool in 1884: the bill was
thrown ont by the committee. The next
year Manchester renewed the fight. which
lasted the whole of 1885 and ended in VIC
tory for Manchester; the bill was carried
through both houses of parliament, and in
1856 the first soil of the new waterway was
cat. Since then the Ship Canal Com
pany has had to come to parliament
every year for some legislation. and
has had the opposition of Liverpool
to fight. Human nature Is about the
same the world over, and even so great a

These facts may help some persons to

the commercial hog appears to be very

and America, and he seems TO behave in
England very much as he does in America:

The city Of Manchester, . smaller city
