CINE. the bottom OF the ocean might bc
illuminated not only az night but In
places too deep for the daylight Ia
penetrate. The submarine explorer
might step from this boat to the bot
tom OF the ocean. carrying In an alumni
mum case strapped TO his shoulder a
supply OF compressed air sufficient TO
last him several hours.
This aluminium case might, through
small tube, supply power TO an air
gun specially designed for submarine
use. Thus new form Of hunting might
be provided.
The submarine explorer. his feet
weighted down with lead. his head en-
cased in divers helmet properly sup
piled with valves to permit of the es-
cape of the Initiated air. might roam
for hours on the bottom of the ocean,
noiselessly approaching the strange an
imals supposed 10 inhabit the greatest
depths and dispatching them by means
of this newly designed weapon.
MIR. Apostoloff says that the after
part of his boat can be supplied with
great pane of thick plate glass, ca
pable OF resisting high water COM
preston. When the boat has descended
TO great depth and il is desired to
sec what the passing submarine land
scape may show, the covering may be
slid back from this pane OF glass, and
the explorers may look out upon the
novel sights presented by these uneN-
plored regions.
Comfortably seated in easy arm
chairs, the navigators of his craft can
touch a buttos which win throw
food of electric light through the thick
pane Of glass, Illuminating the oceans
bed ct its greatest depths. Thus Cor
hours they may. says he, recline at
ease, as If they were in a Pullman
car, and look out upon strange, new
spectacles that present themselves to
their view in rapid succession.
Here a wreck. there a great leyia-
than, then, perhaps, the Atlantic cable,
again some huge crustacean. may be
presented to the gaze of the submarine
yoyagers using his boat. and he even
claims that priceless pearls may thus
be found and that untold treasure is
within the easy reach of the daring
nayigators.

The history OF a quarter acre LOT in

bered fifty souls. this quarter acre Of
raw prairie was worth 500 At $50

To-day il is worth Sl,2J0000 As the
report OF the Illinois Bureau OF Sta
istics puts it: Six hundred average
Illinois farms would not now exchange
Tor that quarter acre of rare prairie
land, and nearly 5000 years of the labor
or one man would be required 10 buy
1t. II 500 years before the Christian
era some man had obtained employ
ment al the equivalent of one dollar
and fifty cents a day. had, like some
wandering Jew, been preserved through
all the vicissitudes OF the centuries,
had been miraculously sustained with
out expense for any Of the necessaries
or Injuries Of life, had done his work
regularly from that day TO this 500
days in the year without losing day,
and had boarded all his wages, his saw
ings would not yet be enough TO buy
this quarter acre of prairie land at the
mouth Of the Chicago River.

always attached TO milady's glove lends
an added and piquant charm TO such q
gift. Indeed the fad for these tobacco
pouches bids fair To Guido all previous

designed worms it's way through the
water as Suly as the ships worm
works from end 10 end of a plank by
turning its body into a boring ap-
paratus.
There is no stern screw in the sub
marine boat which Mr.. Apostoloif has
designed. In its place there only ap-
pears a huge rudder, capable OF raising
or lowering the boat in the water, and
of DETECTING it from side TO side, az the
steersman may wish.
About two-thirds of the outside
surface of the boat reyolves around a
shaft which runs from end to end Oh
the craft. To this outside surface a
screw fiange is fastened.
Thus. from the bow TO point con-
siderably aft of midships. the exposed
surface OF the boat acts as huge pro-
pelliDg screw. The entire boat works
forward or backward. with Gacdly any
waste OF power, as truly as il it were
working i'm a groove specially GU to
CT it.
AT the point where the revolving sur
face of the boat terminates the fixed
portions of its body commences. The
revolving parts of the boat constitute
more than one-half of its exposed sur
face.
But it is only the outside she'll that
revolves. Inside the shell is the real
body structure of the boat. and thac re-
mains fixed, hanging on it's shaft in a
permanent position.
The machinery viii ch turns the for
ward part of the boat is stationed att
but the whole inside OF the structure is
open to the submarine nayigators, who
may walk from end to end of their
strange craft without discomfort. The
principles OF compressed air, of water
condensation, of smoke combustion anc
of economy of fuel are adopted in this
strange craft much as they have been
by other experimenters in the same line.

using a stern screw would make a jour
ney of fifty miles beneath the ocean On
thing that few of them have succeeded
in doing his boat could accomplish
the journey from Europe 10 America
in the same time. Mr. Apostoloff does
rot claim that his BOAT can stay under
water much longer than other subma-
rine boats. but he claims that it can
outstrip any craft of the kind yet de-
signed, and that the time will come in
the near future when it will be adopted
as a means of warfare by every civil
lied nation on earth.
The possibilities which this invention
opens up are interesting and romantic.

A submarine boat has at last been in
vented which disposes OF the question OF
power and speed by a novel method.
Hitherto experiments in this line have
been met by the difficulty of placing
I powerful engines in small compass,
I where there is little air, and room, and
where the disposition of the smoke has
created serious obstacles 10 complete
I submersion for any considerable length
of time
Now, however. not only has a sub
marine boat been invented which will
as its inventor claims. propel itself
through the water with less waste of
power than any boat hitherto designed,
bur which is alleged to be able to ac-
complish the voyage from Europe to
America in the incredibly short time OF
twenty-eight hours.
That is the rate OF speed which Mr..
ApoStoloff. Russian electrical engin-
Ger residing in London. claims TO have
been developed by the novel submarine
boat built by him after long study and
at much expense. The craft which he
has built differs from all others OF it's
kind in the process by which ii Is
showed through the water
Hitherto all eXperlmenters With sub
marine boats have adopted the screw
principle. and the craft which they
have designed were. in respect of loco
motion. no different from the ordinary
tug TO be seen on the North River. All
uniformly adopted the stern screw,
which has not been improved in any
important particular since it was de-
signed by Ericsson.
Placed on a submarine boat, how
ever, the stern screw developed weak
nesses which were not manifest when
IL was applied 10 the ordinary craft
that float on the surface. In subma-
rine boat the entire surface of the
structure offers friction and resistance
10 the water, whereas in floating boat
only the submerged parts offer such re-
sistance.
A submarine boat of leo tons dis |
placement offers thus more than three |
times the fractional surface of a boat of |
similar capacity floating in the ordi-
nary manner. At the same time when /
the stern screw is applied, there is no |
increase of power.
Mr.. Apostoloff has met this difficulty /
by entirely dispensing with the stera /
screw. He has made his boat the screw

Comraratire Mortality of the World


An eminent Italian statistician has
been making inquiries into the compa-
rative mortality OF the countries of the
world, and he has arrived at some in
teresting conclusions. The death rate
per 1000 inhabitants in 1929 was as
follows: Australia, 1872; Sweden, 17.2:
England, 1873; Scotland, 1874; Ireland,
1S.5; Holland. 1876; Switzerland, 2O.1;
Belgium, 2O.2; France, 223; Germany,
23.7; Italy, 25!7; Austria, 27.9; Hun
gary, 1913. All thes countries except
France and Ireland have reduced their
death rate during the last twenty years.
In Ireland it has increased, and in
France it has remained stationary. In
France, too, the death rate of persons
in the prime of life is higher than in
most other countries, and shows no
tendency TO decrease. In England the
mortality is feeble in childhood and
youth. relatively strong in the prime
Of life and old age, but is gradually
diminishing

kind.
But it has been pointed out by the
inventor that the possibilities of fame
and pleasure afforded by this means
far outstrip any to be found IN other
lines of expenditure. The young mil

better means of achieving his ends
than by the construction of such a
craft.
He might. he says. invite select
company of scientific men and con-
genial friends for a summer submarine
cruise. The scientific men could find
strange new forms of life. ana perhaps
discover the missing link so eagerly
sought for by Darwin during the voy-
age of the Beagle.

write about, comforting lasting fame

at any time place them within a port

it, could Mt any time be almost in touch

Experiment, says Mr. Apostoloff, has
convinced him that his boat can navl-
gate the surface of the seas almost as
quickly as when completely submerged.
But he says she has been specially de.
signed for travel bsaeath the surface,
