THE LATEST IDEA FOR SUBMARINE WARFARE
1t Bicycle to 90 Beneath the Waves and Attach orpedoes
to the Doomed Ironcads Which Gross It's
Pathway in the Deep.

PARIS, FRANCE, Aug. 2.-The most
astonishing bicycle invention of the de-
cade has been Offered the French Govern
ment The tender is made in good faith
as an idea that will revolutionize SUBJ
marine warfare, but there are those
among naval experts who declare the
scheme chimerical.
This newest of queer inventions is a
submarine bicycle, but its purpose is
deadly, for it is intended to act as an
agent for the destruction of warships.
The inventor says there can be no fail
ures, and few people profess to adopt his
views, but the French Government is by
no mears convinced OF the pracl icality OF
the idea. Still the man of genius, whose
name is NJ. Jean Cheramy, is possessed os
little money and will, he says, spend a
considerable portion of his capital in
building { full sized model of his inven-
ton and thus crush all opposition by an
array of stu bborn facts. They laughed at
Fulton when he invented the steamb boat,
says the Frenchman; Edison was consid-
cred insane. Why should he exnect to
escape more easily or avoid being termed

cracked though he may be. Certainly he
Is wise enough to keep many OF the de-
tails OF his machine to himself. He has
his main idea all planned out even to the
minutest detail. Therefore, he cannot be
accused OF trying to surround a half de-
veloped idea with mystery. The man has
been interviewed in order to Judge if there
were any possibility of his remarkable
statements having at least basis of fact.

ernment in the event of war with Russia
were Norway TO decline to follow him in
that direction. To what extent he sue
ceeded is shown by the fact that never
have the relations between these two
sister kingdoms of Scandinavia been
so strained as during the last two
years, the probability OF an armed
conflict between Norway and Sweden b :
ing openly discussed in the newspapers OF
the two countries, while King Oscars son
actually made public mention some time
ago of his readiness TO Lead Swedish
army into Norway, for which utterance
the Chrstiania Parliament straightway
proceeded 10 dock the share which the
Norwegian treasury had until then con-
tributed toward his allowance. Bjornson,
the popular Norwegian patriot, play wrigh
and poet, after challenging King Oscar TO
fight a duel, has found refuge at st. Peters
burg, whence every week he launches the
most eloquent and impa ssiored attacks
upon the Stockholm Government and the
King, melting his countrymen to rise
against Swedish tyranny, assuring them
OF the protection and friend hi p OF Russia.
To-day all the Norwegian statesmen
and political leaders look to ST. Peters
burg for support and inspiration, and are
just as firmly determined to associate
themselves with the cause of Russia
should the latter find herself involved in
war with Germany as Sweden is resolved
to ally herself with Emperor William.
Indeed, it is pretty well known at St.
Petersburg that the very first move taken
by King Oscar against Russia in the direc-
ton of closing the entrance OF the Baltic,
or of invading the ill-defended grand
duchy of Finland, would be followed by q
revolution at Christiania and the procl a
nation of Norwegian republic under the
protection of Russia. and in all probability
the declaration by Norway OF war agains,
Sweden. This is what M. Zinovieff has
achieved during his stay at Stockholm an0
Christiania, and it is probable that he has
carried away with him from there some
sort of secret convention between his
Govern ment and the Norwegian leaders

1t is not too much to say that there are
certainly some elements OF genius in what
he has accomplished. Whether his com
plete plan will be at all practical, remains
TO be seen. 1t is beyond doubt, though,
that he will at least contribute some very
interesting suggestions for inventors of
marine machines to destroy to consider.
This creator of unique ideas was in
clired TO look upon ali visitors with sus-
picion, but when he learned l was an
American, his demeanor changed at once,

Government remains in touch with the
Ameer OF Afghanistan, and with almost
every native ruler and chief of any i'm

For a number of years past-indeed, for
more than two decades-Zinov eff has
been the chief and moving spirit of this
Asatic division of the St. Petersburg
Foreign Office, and although in the in
terval he has acted for time as Minister
at Teheran, and more recently still as En-
voy at Stock kh olm, yet be has never really
abandoned its helm. Indeed, it is to him
more than to any one else that Emperor
Nicholas is indebted for the phenomenal
success achieved without the striking of a

and even in Japln, since it was solely in
Difference to the com mands OF Russia that

were practically the principal fruits of the
victories which ne had won both by land
and at sea.
A few years ago Russia acquired the
conviction that Germany had succeeded
in concluding some kind OF secret treaty
or military convention with King Oscar of
Sweden with the object OF closing the
Baltic to the entrance or egress of Musco-
vite cruisers in the event OF wcr between
Russia and Germany. True, there is the
Baltic and North Sea canal. But that is
in the hands of the German Government,
and would be naturally unavailable for
Russian ships under circum stances of that
character. This understanding between
Sweden and Germany, which is based not
only upon community of interests, poiit-
ical as we'll as economic, between the two
nations, but also upon close ties of kins-
manship between the families of King
Oscar and of Emperor William, is a mat
ter of very serious importance to Russia;
for Oscar, besides holding the keys TO the
entrance of the Baltic in his hands, is the
next-door neighbor of Russia along a
frontier which extends some 500 miles.
Realizing that it was necessary to take
some steps at once to counteract the
effects OF this deal between the courts of
Stockholm and Berlin the Russian Gov
ernment dispatched NJ. Znoyieff to Swe-
den as Minister PlenipotentiaTy. Zino-
Wen was quick to take advantage OF the
discomfort and bitterness that prevailed
In Norway against not only the Swedish
nation but also against the Swedish Gov
ernment and the Swed ish reigning family.
His entire energies were devoted to TO-
menting this feeling OF Norwegian dis
loyalty to King Oscar, knowing full well
that the latter would be unable to fulfill
his engagement toward the German Gov

If diplomacy consists in successful in
trigue on behalf of the Government and
OF Fatherland, as MachiaveIli would have
US believe, then assuredly there are few
greater masters in the art than NJ. Zino-
vi fl, whose name though comparative!y Y
unknown to the general pubic is cele-
brated in Government circles throughout
the world as that OF quite the cleverest
diplomat in the service OF the Gar. No
where does the mention of his name give
rise to greater uneasiness than al the For
eign and Indian offices in London, as we'll
as at the Government-house, Calcutta,
where he is credited with a large share of
the responsibility for the present alarming
condition OF affairs In India, and under

Indeed, he may be described as a species

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs at st.

the one known as the European Depart

tion of the diplomatic relation between
the Government of the Gar and all West

other is known as the Asiatic division. The

paddle one on each side, and z screw at

is formed OF iron, steel and alum mum. 1t

to be in but one.
Tiny driving rods connect the gearing
of the machine with the rear wheels. so
