New su b marine ssoat.

The Argonaut, the submarine boat
launched last week at the yards of the
Columbian iron works, Baltimore, Md,
is one OF the most unique vessels ever
constructed. 1t is intended for CONNER
cial work, including the exploration of
the bottom of rivers, lakes and bays, and
even seas, for wrecking purposes.
The cigar shaped hull has two big iron
wheels attached to it near the bow. The
edges OF the wheels are corrugated like
those OF cogw heel. A smaller wheel OF
a similar character is attached to the boat
at the stern. The wheels are intended to
enable the vessel to run along over the
bottom OF rivers and other bodies of wat.
or, the propeller of the vessel supplying
the necessary motive power.
The boat will be 80 arranged that divers
can come in and go out of the vessel
while she is on the bottom OF rivers She
is 80 feet long and nine feet in diameter,
built OF steel and strongly ribbed, to re-
resist the water pressure. She is propel-
led on the surface by a gasoline engine Of
80 horse power. Her speed is estimate
at eight miles an hour on the surface and
five miles on the bottom. She will have
fuel-carry capacity for a run of about
1000 miles.
The crew will consist of captain, en-
gineer and four divers. II is claimed that
one man can handle her il necessary.

Phosograpaing I'm Coiors.

Since Prof. Vogel. Of Berlin, Germany,
suggested that it WAS possible to produce
color With the camera, photographers
and chemists have sought to find a sue
cessful process. Albert Schneider, OF
the Western Engraving Company, of st.
Louis, Mo-, has achieved this. He can
reproduce any object in it's natural colors
The secret of the process is the extrac-
ton OF the three primary coiors, yellow,
red and blue. A novelty of the work is
that the object is photographed at right
angles, or practically around the corner.
This 10 made possible by the use of a
prism before the camera. Behind the
prism IL color filter. This is Q small,
fiat tank OF glass. This filter is filled
with . chemically pure solution to ex-
clude all but the color desired to be ex-
tracted from the object. A green liquid
is used when red is to be photographed
blue solution when yellow is wanted
and q red mixture 10 put in the filter
when the third basic color, blue, is to be
produced. Back of the filter is the plate
specially prepared for the color.

Of the various bicycle manufacturers un

to others after they have made an inves.

Rumors of this consolidation have

consolidation was on foot. and James

Defense OF the Mosquito.

Pure philanthropy has never been fully
appreciated and perhaps never will be.
This statement applies with peculiar force
to the wholly disinterested work OF mos
quitoes in behalf Of the human family, of
which they have always seemed to con-
slider themselves a part. While their
bills have usually been met, It has too
often been because they could not be
avoided, and, it may be added, that they
have never been hOnored at their full
face value. II 10 true they have some
times been presented at odd times and
sometimes in unseen ly places, but that
does not justify reputation of obliga.
ton. The fact is mosquitoes have been
looked upon with adherence, when they
could be seen at all, and have been muir
derously attacked in the dark, which 10
usually considered cowardly. So intense
has been the antipsthy toward them that
they have actually been barred out oil
many nominslly Christian homes. and

no other reward than their own virtue,
have continued in the even soprano oil

crease present comfort it's poison is beue-
ticially designed to protect against worse
one. Such, at least, is the theory of
Boston scientist. Mosquitoes, he SAYS,
breeding in swampy or wet places become
filed with malaria, and the effect of
bite is to inject a homeopathic dose of
the fluid into the system. This acts as
an antitoxin and inoculates the body
against malaria. With this explanation
mosquitoes ought to come into popular
favor at once, as they are cheaper than
doctors and are willing to make night
visits at reduced rates. Instead of being
little demons, therefore, mosquitoes
should be regarded as sisters of mercy
going about on wings of love. Strange,
come to think OF it, that their sex has
not been discovered before. Their deli
cate touch, siren tones, coquettish ways
and fondness for little children should
have made their recognition intutive.

Jones was on his last legs. In fact, it
was a matter OF but few days for him, so
he sent for three ministers, a Fresbyter-

tured the Money.

The approaches to the great tunnel,
two and one-hslf miles long, which the
Great Northern contemplates cutting
through the Cascades, have been com.
pleted. and work on the tunnel proper
was commenced yesterday, says the Post
lntelligencer. The spades and picks will
not strike against the adamantne sides
OF the mountain on the tunnel itself, but
20 men on either side will hammer and
saw and clear way for the buildings
that will be necessary for the armies Of
workmen. Boarding houses, bunkhous-
es. toolhouses and all sorts of other sheds
and shscks will be built, and then the
digging and blasting will commence. The
work will be under the supervision OF
Ii. w. Edwards, of Spokane, assistant
chief engineer, and will be pushed day
and night without any delay until the
two gangs from the opposite sides of the
mountain meet in the bowels Of the
earth.
One OF the features OF the new Great
Northern tunnel will be it's inclination
from 1880 feet altitude on the east side
to 1850 on the west side, a fall of approx
mstely 30 feet to the mile in the two and
one half miles of tunnel The opening
will be 10 feet wide and % feet high in
the clear. Nearly all OF the great tunnels
are higher in their centers than at the
ends, so arranged as to drain the water
from springs and water courses both
ways. The Great Northern TUNE! will
turn all the water that is met in its con-
struction to the west end, and in this re-
spect it is unusual in tunnel building.
The completion of the tunnel will mari
the passing of an almost equally great
engineering feat, and one OF the most
impressive and beautiful features of rail-
road travel in this country. The famous
"switch-back" will then have served its
purpose, and as the road could hardly be
expected to maintain at a great expense
II purely picturesque feature, the rails will
undoubtedly be torn up and applied to
some utilitarian purpose. 1t will be re-
membered by travellers who have crossed
the continent and been hauled over the
summit of the mountains as one OF the
earliest days boasted Of. An hours saw
ing of time, however, will undoubtedly
compensate fo- the dripping sides OF the
tunnel and the absence of the marvellous
switch back, and as the grades will not
be moved they, may some time furnish
first class wagon road, II such should
ever be needed, and venturesome pedes
TRANS can enjoy mountain'c imbing with
out its attendant dangers and discomforts.
