So far submarine warfare has been a
failure. but it seems as If a new era was
approaching. The recent experiments
with torpedo boats at Newport show that
IT IS possible for a vessel of that class
to sneak into a harbor and get WITHIN
striking distance of a man-of-war' even
when he man-of-war expects the attack
The United States has I'm its navy some
Of the most expert torpedo "sharps IN
the world. Notable among them Is Lieu

was captain of the Kearsarge when she

THE HOLLAND SUBMARINE BOAT.
THE BATTLE o.
where each torpedo is tested before it is
accepted.
The United States Government is ex-
perimenting with three systems of sub
marine warfare. There is the sub-ma-
rine mine, the torpedo and the sub-ma-
rine boat. some officers OF the navy have
no belief in the efficacy of the torpedo,
and not long "a 20 the executive officer
of "a battleship said. If l were going
into battle with this ship the first thing
j would do would be to throw overheard
every torpedo we have. / believe they
are more dangerous to the ship which
has them thar to the envy Never
theless the naval advisers OF the Govern
mcnt do believe in the automobile torpe-
does, and the Government IS building
them.
The submarine mine. upon which much
dependence Is placed for the defence OF
harbors. is not a mine" at all In the
common acceptance Of the TERM but ~
"A stationary torpedo. OF all the har-
bors OF the United States charts have
been prepared and laid out in squares.
in each of these squares Is. theoretically,
a submarine mine waiting to be exploded
from the shore by an electric spark when
a hostile man-of-war gets over it.
The School Of Applied instruction for
the submarine mine is at Willets' Point.
There are stored miles and miles of cable
FOR the mines. Still there is not enough.
\ few years ago there was not enough
cable of this kin In the United States TO
supply the submarine mines for the de-
fence Of the New England harbors alone.
Not much has been manufactured since.
ONLY PROMISING SUBMARINE BOAT.
The third underwater system OF nght-
ing which the United States has adopted
IS by the means of submarine boats.

As hard as e'er we can:
We dote on revolutions
And the brotherhood Of man.
We're returning to the people
With a truly lyric cry;
And for democratic spirit
We'd lay us down and die.
We're a-reading OF philosophy
To find out why we be.
And a-learning that external worlds
Lie wholly in the me.
We don't believe I'm matter.
And of mind we're not quite sure;
We're inclined TO think uncertainties
Most likely to endure.

Before the tides OF primal sea
Got written into rhymes.
When the "old world spun forever"
And the poets never knew it
And all the rocks. and stones. and things

We're a-looking at fine pictures
Made by people what are dead;
And we c~riticise cathcirals

But we do not mind confessing

King Cole.

Old King Cole
Was a merry old soul.
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe and he calico lof
his bowl.
And he called for his fddlers three.
So old King Cole
Got his pipe and his bowl.
But his nddlers. where were they?
They had mounted their wheels, each 10
vial soul.
And merrily ridden away!
So old King Cole
Spurned his pipe and his bowl,
And ne said to his slave. said he:

THE SURVIVORS
OF the Wrecked American Barkentino .
Nellie Smith Taken to New York.


Nellie Smith Taken to New York.
SAVANNAH. Ga. April 1.-THE sur
vivors of the American barkentine,
Nellie Smith, which was sunk in col
lision with the Plant line steamship
La Grande Duchesse, off the,Jersey
coast Friday morning, will be taken
to New York ON the steamer which
sails Tuesday. They are: Winfield 8.
Babbedge, steward; Frank Conway,
helmsman; Lars Harvasan, seaman.
The FIVE who went down with the
wreck are: Capt. Dodge, Of Peabody,
Mass; First Mate Asson, of Boston;
Second Mate Nelson, Of Brooklyn;
Martin Simons, Hans -, seaman.
One of the mates is supposed to have
been crushed in his bunk by the bow
of one of the steamers. Babbedge,
Conway and Harvasan climbed into
the rigging and were swept off when
the vessel went down. A few minutes
after they caught hold of the roof of
the deck house, which had floated from
the sinking vessel, and clung to it
until they were rescued by life boat
from La Grande Duchesse. The bark
entine was under full sail when the
collision occurred. The first mate,
Asson, was at the helm. Harvasan,
who was on the lookout, in his state
ment to the master OF the steamer,
said that the collision would not have
occurred had the mate stood by the
wheel, but instead OF doing so, he ran
toward the captain and the crash came
before he could change the vessels
