SUBMARINE ENGINES.
Army Of inventors Deyising Machines
to Blow Up War Vessels.
One Destroyer Thai Sisc's Up From Beneath
the Doomed Craft.
(From the New York HeraId.)


There appears to be an unusual rush
among submarine boat inventors just
now, brought about by the completion
Iof the new Holland craft, which will
soon have practical test. Many stu
dents of this unique class of water We
hicle are eagerly awaiting the verdict
to be passed upon our brand-new sub
marine boat, and are preparing to de-
luge Uncle Sam with plans for new
schemes, in the event Of his smiling
upon the idea of further equipment of
our progressive navy with vessels Of
| the new class.
| One of the latest submarine boats pa
| tented is that Of Louis Gathman, a Chi
| cago man. or course it may be nav
igated either upon or beneath the sur
lace OF the water, the rising or sinking
being accomplished by the taking in OF
pumping out of water. 1t carries q
heavy supply of explosives and three
powerful submarine guns, two fore and
one art 1t has watertight hull and
deck, from which rises in the center
what might be mistaken for the top Of
church pipe organ or of Barnum s
steam calliope.
This is group Of tubes, eight in |
number, the longest in the middle.
They lead from a coming tower above
deck. to point just above the surface
of the water. Seven Of them have tel |
oscopes in their lower ends, and the |
central tube is provided with mir |
ror prism. These are so arranged that |
the operator below can view the sea |
on all sides. Four tubes in front of |
this and two in the rear are fixed as |
stationery sights for the three subma-
rne guns.
Now suppose it be desired TO destroy
4 warship lying toward the bow. The
operator would turn the boat around
until the cross hairs in the telescope
conceded with the hull of the vessel
He would FIRE the gun. and if true To
theory the vessel would be struck at
q point the same distance below the
spot sighted al as the distance between
the level of the gun and the level of the
telescope Satisfied with the result,
the submarine boat would make a
TASTY retreat, propelled by electricity
~ some other smokeless motive power.
While sunk beneath the water the only
txposed parts are the tops of the tel
escopfc tubes, protruding several
inches. Air is pumped in through an
7ther tube.

Sixty Thousand Seeds in One Plant.

The common purslane is one of the
wonders of botany. as far as seeds are
concerned. at least. A single seed of
this plant will produce about twenty
seed pods in a season. The average
number of seeds in each Of these, by
actual count. is 5000. making 10000 in
all. AS far as we have been able to
learn. there is no instance of similar
fruitfulness in any plant found grow
ing in this country. A single plant of
either the jamestown weed C'jimson)
the butter weed. the rag weed and
some Of the vervines produce an enor-
nous number of seeds. but it is doubt
full if any one of them produces one
fourth as many in year as the pur-
slane does.-St. Louis Republic.

The Colorado Senators Disagree.

Senator Teller of G. dorado has de-
clared his intention Of leaving the Re
publican party if the st. Louis conven-
ton adopts platform favorable to the
maintenance of the gold standard. In
his opinion it will be better for all who
believe in the sacred rs to to join the
Populists or form q silvcrite party than
to try to secure free coinage rs Rcpub-
licans or Democrats
Senator Wolcott of the same state
does not agree with his colleague. He
has announced that while he desires the
free coinage Of silver he will abide by
the decision of the national convention,
and warns the people of Colorado
against all alliance with tho Populists
1.-THE Populist party, " he says, "favors
free coinage, but only as stepping
stone to unlimited paper money, and 1t
unites with its free coinage advocacy
socialistic and paternalistic doctrines
which are dangerous in their tendency,
and which would be, if adopted, de-
structive Of free institutions.
While the course of Senator Wolcott
In pointing out the dangers OF Popu-
lism is to be praised, it must be ad-
mitted that Senator Teller's attitude Is
more consistent with tho silver theories
which both senators hold. If the Repub-
lican party declares against free coin
age, tho Republicans in the senate
should be believers in an honest dollar.
Advocates Of free coinage should unite
with the free silver party, so that there
would be no question as to where they
stand Senator Teller is very much mis-
taken in supposing that if the silvcrites
Of both parties join the Populists they
can get majority of the people to vote
for their candidates. But he will do
less harm as an announced opponent of
Republicanism than if he remained in
his party while fighting against its
Orjnciplcs.

Odd Fellows and Free Silver.

The Souvenir, q paper claiming to be
the official organ Of the great fraternal
order Of Odd Fellows, published i'll re-
cent issue plea for the free coinage OF
silver at 1G to 1. Tho principal reason
given for attempting to commit nom
partisan organization to the so cent dol
lar swindle was that large number OF
members Of the order had been sus-
pended by reason of their inability to
pay their dues, and that it was there
fore impossible to continue the payment
Of relief funds Oh the present scale OF
$4,000, 900 per year. This would mean
that aged and infirm Odd Fellows, or
the widows and orphans Of deceased
members, would receive smaller bene-
fits, and to prevent this condition Of af-
fairs The Souvenir claims that it is nee
essary to coin more silver dollars SO that
members in urrears can get cheap money
with which to pay up their dues.
If the editor of The Souvenir had stop
ped to think before rushing into print,
he would lave seen that his own state
ment of the poverty and suffering which
would follow reduction in the benefits
paid by the order was the very best OF
reasons why this country should not
adopt free coinage. For nothing Is more
certain than that free silver would cut
tho purchasing power Of the dollar III
two, so that the sick Odd Fellow, or the
widow or orphan who now gets benefits
of, say, SO per week would, under the
silver standard, get only the equivalent
of g per week. The amounts to be paid
in benefits in each particular case are
fixed by the rules Of the order. Does it
require any argument to show that II
those benefits arc paid in cheap dollars
the people who get them will lose one
half of their income?
The order Of Odd Fellows has de-
servedly high reputation as great or
ganization working in the interests OF
benevolencc and fraternity. 1t can hard
ly be possible that it is ready to indorse
a scheme which means the reputation
of fraternal obligations and the robbery
Of the widows and orphans intrusted to
its care

Over In Mexico.

Among the evidences Of increasing
prosperity in free silver Mexico the
Mexican International railroad is some
times mentioned.
Recently agood deal Of fuss was made
in certain quarters over the statement
that the company increased its business
last year and had al excess Of income
over expenses Of more than 81, 600, 600.
The facts are these:
The nominal net earnings Of the rail-
road were 81, O57, 439, in Mexican dol
lars. The interest on the company's
bonds, however, was $500. 900, and 1t
had to be paid in gold. AS n Mexican
dollar Is worth only 81. SO cents i'll gold,
It's net earnings converted into our cur
rency, which is as good MS gold, would
pay only $54S, O7O, thus leaving the rail
road actually with a deficit We think
our free silver friends will soon learn
that 1t does not pay to 60 to Mexico for
arguments. Atlanta Journal.

The Atlanta constitution says:
"No man can be bimctallist or have

The Constitution cannot point to

basis.
1t cannot point to a country in the
world which has the free and unlimited
coinage of silver that is not on silver

Free Coinage Not American.

The agitators who try to get support
for the silver standard by pretending
that it is the only and original American
system are either very ignorant of his
tory or think the people are. Silver was
used to measure values thousands OF
years before America was discovered.
and it might still be tho principal
money metal of Europe were it not Tor
the great amounts Of gold mined in
America during the past four centuries.
There is no record that the Indians
ever.used silver as money, their medium
Of exchange being wampum, the real
American" currency.
The attempt to create prejudice In
favor Of the SO cent dollar by claiming
that the men who want it made our
monetary standard are patriots" and
"true Americans" is too childish for
argument. Every schoolboy knows that
cheap silver is the money Of the pauper
Hindoos and Chinese. How, then, can
1t be more "Amcrican' than gold?
