it is awash the speed will be 1914 knots
an hour, and 6K knots an hour when
submerged.
The boat will be propelled by triple
expansion engines, working triple
screws. The submergion is made in
two ways-by means of horizontal rud-
ders, which will cause the boat to dive
when they are inclined, and also by
screws, revolving in a horizontal plane
at the bow and stern.
Resting on top of the smooth, cigar
shaped hull is an armored superstruc-
ture, which includes a coming tower.
From the center of this superstructure
rise the smokestack and air tube, both
of them telescope.
The boat will be able to sink 40 feet
below the surface of the water, and
the specifications require that when
diving it shall reach level of 20 feet
below the surface in one minute, and
when at rest it must be able to dive
to that depth within 30 seconds.
If the boat is moving forward the in
clination of the horizontal rudders at
the stern will cause it to dip and dive,
just as the old "Peacemaker" did.
If boat is floating motionless on the
water it can be submerged by the hcri-
zontal screws at the bow and stern. II
these screw-propellers are worked in
one or the other direction the vessel
will sink, and can be maintained at any
level or can be sent to the surface rapid.
ly or slowly, as the commander desires
In actual practice the boat will ap,
proach the war ship it intends to blow
out of The water with only its smoke
stack and coming tower above the
water, until it gets sufficiently close fol-
the man in the coming tower to see the
ship.
Then the smokestacl1 will be drawn
into the vessel, the cover will be clapped
on and sealed and the vessel will dive
to the required depth. 1t has beer
found that boat cannot well be steered
from a coming tower under water
For this reason the Holland boat is
provided with tube which will pro
ject up above the surface of the water
when the vessel is submerged.
This tube will carry an inclined mir
ror, q prism which will reflect down
into the coming tower an image oil
everything within the range of the
glass, and thus the commander of the
vessel will be able to watch the wal
ship and guide his own boat.
The boat will carry five automobile
torpedoes, and provision is made fol
the escape of the crew in case of acct
dent. The crew will be provided with
buoyant diving suits or helmets, and a
method of opening the hatch is de-
vised, so that the men can escape in
their diving suits if the boat is injured
so that it viii not rise to the surface.

GIUSEPPE VERDI.

staff" written at period of age
when but few men have re-
tanned sufficient of their power
or physical vigor to engage in
original work. His first opera was
produced in 1889, and during the 81 sub
sequent years opera after opera has ap-
peared as the iargess of his prolific
muse to the world, few of which have
failed to achieve success and win en-
during popularity. In all these years
he has stood at the head of the Italian
school and his reputation has not suf-
fered any eclipse, even that brilliant
luminary at Baireuth, though the latter
affected his style in his lateryears. The
aggregate performances of his operas
have exceeded those Of any other mod;
ern composer, and he has given pleasure
to millions of people. His reward came
in widespread popularity, handsome
financial remuneration, and unbounded
honors from many countries, as well as
home. In Italy he was member of the
national assembly in 1859, a deputy in
the parliament of 1861, minister of pub
lie instruction in 1871 and senator of the
Italian kingdom in 1872, and Italy
would have given him still more honors
had he not chosen to live in retirement.
France made him a member of the Le-
gion of Honor, and Prussia member of
the Academy of Fine Arts. Italy, Rus
STA, Germany, Turkey and Austria have
given him decorations.
Few modern composers have been so
conspicuously appreciated and richly
rewarded as Verdi. Few have led more
charming lives or enjoyed greater pop
ular alteration. That he is sensible of
all this is evidenced by the munifcent
gift he has made to the world of music
in his old age. 1t is doubtful whether
the world will enjoy another operatic
work from bis pen, but the wish will be
universal that he may yet be spared
many years in this world, for which he
has done so much with his delightful
music.

Shakers and Doctors Talk Together.

In HIS able work entitled Longevity, !"
| puollShed few years ago, DR.. John
Gardner, of England, predicts that a
vegetable agent VIII vet be found that
shall so retard those changes that bring
about old age as TO prolong human life
much beyond its present limit.
Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought, many eminent
physicians have called from time to time
upon the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon to in
quire Of them concerning the secrets of
medicinal plants. In which these sincere,
simple minded and God fearing people
are known to be wise and skillful beyond
all other men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and in return received from
their visitors much valuable information
about disease; which they at once made
practical use OF. The most important
point was that If genuine and certain
remedy could be found for indigestion
and dyspepsia, and the ailments growing
out OF II, long step would be taken in
the right direction. Old age said these
physicians, begins in failure OF the di.
gestloD, and so do most diseases at any
and all periods of life. The result of these
consultations was the discovery by the
Shakers of the desired specific, made
wholly from herbs, and now known as the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Its action is
magical and worthy of its origin.
Where there is distress after eating,
heartburn, sick headache, bad taste in
the mouth, biiouSness, weakness and
WEAKNESS, cold hands and feet, aversion
to food, nervousness, or any other symp-
tom Of dyspepsia, the Cordial will prove
its curative virtues. Behind it is the
reputation OF people who have never
defrauded or deceived their fellow men.

DIVING TORPEDO BOAT.
Description of One Recently Ii.

should 1t Prove Success, the United
States win Probably Purchase the
Exclusive Right to the Use
of the Invention.

While aeronauts, such as Chanute,
Langley, Maxim and others, are work
ing together to solve the mysteries of
mechanical fight another body of sci
entists and engineers is trying TO
fathom the science of submarine nayi-
cation. Every year one or more sub
marine boats are laid out on paper, and
some Of them are actually built. A
few of the many models and diving
boats" have been tested and found
practicable.
The latest candidate for govern
mental favor is the submarine torpedo
boat designed by ]. p. Holland, who has
been working on submarine navigation
for quarter of century.
In 1887 he proved to the satisfaction
of the navy department of the United
States that his scheme was feasible, and
to-day boat is being built after the
Holland design.
The vessel, says the Chicago Record,
is cigar-shaped, and is so feet long. Its
largest diameter is IL feet, and it will
have triple expansion engines capable
of developing 1900 horse power. Steam,
electricity and compressed air will be
used in the boat. The compressed air
will be for the use of the crew when
the vessel is submerged and for the
automobile torpedoes.
The electric current will be used for
power when the stored steam is used up
during a submerged period of naviga-
ton and for light. The smokestack is
OF the telescope order. When the ves-
sci is above water, or "awash"-that is,
partially submerged, the smokestack
will be housed" and the opening her
metically sealed.
When the smokestack is completely
housed the residual pressure of the
steam will drive the engines, for when
water under pressure is heated it gives
off steam for a considerable length of
time. When this source of power gives
out the boat will fall back on the stor-
age batteries and electric motors.
When the vessel is floating on the sur
face, with its hull well above the wa
ter, it makes 1874 knots an hour; when

uty from Guadalupe, intends to bring
the matter into the arena of politics by
questioning the colonial ministry on
the subject. This win be the first time
that the race question has been intro
duced in the chamber Of deputies.
The recent career of Gen. Dodds is in

honey campaign scared the govern

popular idol, sort of Boulanger; there
fore he was kept in the'background and
was not given command of the NADIA
gascar expedition, for which he was
well fitted, but was packed off to lndo-
China and is now recalled and exhibited
to the public as a colored man.

The color question has suddenly come

Buried Confederate Cannon.


Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
WASHINGTON, d. G, April TO-
There is quite u little story behind the
bill introduced into the house by
Delegate Catron, OF New Mexico, yes.
terday, providing for the donation OF
certain cannon to different cities In
New Mexico and the city of Ell Paso,
Texas. The cannon referred to are
old confederate cannon left behind by
the confederates when they evacuated
New Mexico. The knowledge of their
existence came to Delegate Catron
some time ago through Capt. t. I.
Teele, of FL Paso, IN ex-confederate
commander. 10 a conversation, he
asked if any old cannon had ever been
found buried In Albuquerque. When
told that they had not, he
offered to locate them, which he did,
in a large back yard in that
city. Eight cannon were dug up. The
captain said that he knew where twelve
more were buried in the city of Santa
Fe, and promised to reveal their loca-
ton, provided Delegate Catron would
introduce a bill donating four of them
to Ell Paso. The bill introduced by
Mr.. Catron, yesterday, provides for the
donation Of the eight mo found and
eight Of those to be found to towns,
academies, and grand army posts in
New Mexico, the remaining four to 60
to the city of FL Paso. AS soon as the
bill becomes q law Capt. Teele will be
called upon to conduct a searching
party to the spot in Santa Fe where
the grim destroyers were hidden under
the earth.
