throwing down the entire heap. Hamm

the building at the time. Holm es-

him, and was killed Hamm endured

Novel Boat to
Run on Bottom.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. t9.-fhe Ar
gonaut, submarine craft, was launch
ed at noon today at the yards of the
Columbian Iron works in the presence
of a. large crowd of interested specta-
tors. Miss Myriam Lake, daughter Of
the inventor, christened 1t. This ves-
sci which is the invention of Balt1-
morean, Simon Lake, is, as far as in
tentions and appearance are concern
ed one of the most unique ever con-
structed. Tt is intended for commercial
work. including the exploration of the
bottom Of rivers, lakes, bays and even
seas, for wrecking work. 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 a cog wheel. 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 water, the propeller of
the vessel supplying the necessary mo-
tive power. The boat will be so ar
ranged that divers can come in and
go out of the vessel while she is on
the bottoms of rivers. The Argonaut
is thirty-six feet long and nine feet
in diameter, built of steel and strongly
ribbed, to resist the water pressure.
She is propelled, when on the surface,
by a gasoline engine of thirty horse
power. She can also be propelled while

RECIPROCITY TREATY.
First Under the New Tariff Law VIII
Be With France.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 1a-secretary
Sherman has acknowledged the recent
overture Of the French government for
negotiating a reciprocity Etreaty be-
tween the United States and France
under the reciprocity clause of the new
tariff law, and the secretary adds an
assurance that he hopes to take up
this important subject at an early date.
1t will be the first effort toward a
practical application of the reciprocity
clause of the new law, and to some
extent it will shape the future action
of the government on the treaties to
be negotiated. The reciprocity clause
will not permit an offer to France Of
much reduction of duties. 1t is esti-
mated that the duties under the new
tariff law on imports gwould be 4S35
per cent of the value of the goods, but
If the reciprocity clause is granted to
France, the duties would be AZ per
