@ TWO OF THE d
g QUEEREST CRAFT g
g EVER CONSTRUCTED. ~
100000

A few weeks ago there was launched
from the yards of the Columbian iron
Works, of Baltimore, the Argonaut, a
queer looking submarine craft, which
goes on wheels like wagon.
This vessel, which is the invention
OF Baltimorean, Simon Lake, is, as
far as intentions and appearance are
concerned, unique. 1t is intended for
commercial work, including the ex-
ploration Of the bottom of rivers,
lakes, bays and even seas, for treasure
seeking and other purposes of kim
dred character.
The vessel presents curious ap-
pearance. The igar-shaped hull has
two big iron wheels attached TO linear
the bow. These wheels are about as
large as an ordinary cartwheel, and
are of solid metal. The edges of the
wheels are corrugated and cogged like
those of cogwheel. A smaller wheel
of similar character is attached to
the boat at the stern. The wheels are
intended to enable the vessel to run
along over the bottoms 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 the divers can come in and
go out of the vessel while she is on
the bottoms of rivers.
The Argonaut, says the New York
Journal, is thirty-six feet long and
nine feet in diameter, built of steel and
strongly ribbed, to resist the water
pressure. She is propelled along the
bottom by an electric motor taking
current from powerful storage bat
terry.
A strong electric searchlight is To-
Gated in the bow, capable of lighting
up pathway in front of the craft as
she moves along the bed of the ocean.

believes in the literalness of the
words of Jesus. He holds that the
only rule Of life is the precise living
up to the maxims of the Sermon on
the Mount. As youth Tolstoi at
tended the University of Kazan, and
at the age of twentythree he entered
the army and went with his brother to
the Caucasus. He fought in the Cri'
mean War, aud at its close resigned
his commission and devoted himself
to literature. One Of his earliest
works, "War and Peace" is most np-
praised by Russians. 1t deals with
tho invasion of Russia by Napoleon.
Since he brought out Gamma Karenina"
in 1876 Tolstoi has given himself up
to social problems, with the hope of
supplying mankind with better
moral and religious philosophy than
that which now obtsins in the world.

Lenses are also arranged to project
beam of light to either side of the
boat, so that objects may be seen in
the vicinity of the vessel as she passes
along.
Her speed is estimated to be about
eight miles an hour on the surface and
about five miles on the bottom. She
will have an electric storage capacity
for run Of about 1000 miles. The
crew will consist of captain, an en-
gineer and four divers. 1t is claimed
that one man can handle her if neces-
sary.
When not engaged in saving valu-
ables from wrecks along the coast, she
is to run on the surface Of the sea with
her string of barges like tugboat and
her tow. She is also to sink herself
and barges to the bottom of the coast
and run over the hard sands as il she
were locomotive with train of cars.
The inventor of the craft proposes
to look for some of the 2000 vessels
sunk aud the 800, 900, 900 lost annu-
ally at sea. The boat may also be used
in laying foundations for piers, light
houses, bridges, docks, breakwaters,
etc. She may also make journeys among
beds of coral and sponge for business
purposes, or to take down scientific
and pleasure parties for an inside
view of old Neptune. The boat is to
be able to descend to depth of 800
feet or more, and is to be sunk or
raised at the will of the operator,
The Argonaut will make her trial
trip in the Chesapeake Bay during
the next few weeks. Probably the
first vessel that the inventor will at
tempt to find is the New Era which
went down off Asbury Park, N. j., in
1852, with 200 passengers and large
amount of specie aboard.
Another queer craft which electric
ity has made possible, and which In
ventor Knapp, who constructed it, be-
lieves will revolutionize the speed Of
ocean travel, was recently launched at
Toronto. 1t is called the roller boat
and is certainly novelty, though not
exactly the first of its kind.
Owing to the strange nature of the
craft large crowd gathered to see the
mass OF steel drop, or rather roll, in
to the water. No doubt many of them
expected to see the boat disappear out
of sight below the waves, but in this
they were disappointed. Preparatory
to the launching the huge bulk OF
cylindrical steel rested on stocks about
ten feet back from the edge of the
alip. and in order to launch her slides
well creased with soft soap, were buili
from the stocks to the edge of the
water. When oil was ready plank'

held by but single support, and nt I

n days pursuit Of game shod with
something more durable than what
nature provided. Heretofore it has
been almost impossible to hunt with
the same dogs more than two conse-
cutive days. Their feet would become
too sore.
The way Colonel Coffin overcame
this difficulty was to fit his dogs with
canvas shoes that covered the feet
closely and were tied snugly at the
ankles. Great difficulty was found in
teaching the dogs to wear the shoes
and hunt. Now all old huntsmen in
Nebraska equip their hunters with
these canvas shoes.

man ribbon in different widths. The
skirt, straight ON the lower edge, is
simply hemmed or faced and hangs in
graceful fullness from two rows of
tucked shirring that droop in the CEN
tre-front. Gathers adjust the fullness
to the belt, the back being gathered
into narrow space on each side of the
placket, and falls in fiute-like folds to
the foot.
The waist is arranged over fitted
Innings; the border at the top forming
the modish trimming. A tiny vest OF
creamy cloth shows, between the open
fronts of the stylish blouse, round,
cream pearl buttons decorating the
edges. The wide belt and close stand
ing collar are cut from the border.
The fashionable sleeves fit the arm
closely to near the top where the full
ness is stylishly caught up at the
shoulder, the border trimming being
applied as shown. When plain, plaid
or mixed woolens are used, braid, rib
bon or velvet can be applied in place
of the border as here delineated.
This makes a very stylish costume for
young girls and is adapted to either
silk, wool or cotton fabrics.
To make this blouse for a miss Of
fourteen years will require two and
one-fourth yards of forty-four-inch
material, and the skirt will require two
and three fourth yards of the same
width goods.

rates thereto should be obtained from

that beginning with next year excur-
sions open to all, but under the au-
spices of the Native Sons, should be

He stated that the railroad company
and the various stage lines had been
consulted, and that a letter to General
Passenger Agent Goodman of the
Southern Pacific had been drafted.
This was read, and received the ap-
proval of the board.
1t suggested that an excursion rate
should be made to the Yosemite Val
ley from June Is, 1898, available to
the end of the season, covering all CAL
ifornia points. The movement was
stated to be under the special auspices
Of the Native Sons, but the belief was
expressed that the rate should be open
to all persons in California.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 9.-The Su-
preme Court this morning decided to
take no action in the appeal of Theo-
dore Durrant until the United States
Supreme Court disposes of the case of
the murderer The motion TO this eff
feet was made by Attorney Deuprey,
and the hearing and granting of the
motion did not occupy more than a
few moments. The prosecution was
represented by Deputy Attorney An
derson, who made no objection.
Durrant was sentenced by Judge
BahrS to be hanged on June 9th and to
be confined in Sam Quentin until the
date of execution The murderer's at
torneys appealed from the sentence on
the ground that Durrant, because Of his
imprisonment was about to be pun
ished twice for the same offense. While
the appeal was pending, Deuprey asked
for writ of habeaS corpus from the
Federal courts, which writ was re-
fused, and an appeal was taken to the
United States Supreme Court.
The latter tribunal Will not meet until
October, when it is expected the case
will be heard. If the writ be denied
and the general impression is that the
lower court will be sustained-then the
attorneys for the murderer will ask for
a stay of execution until the State Su-
preme Court acts upon the appeal This
will give the attorneys time to prepare
a writ of habeaS corpus on some other
ground, and unless heroic measures are
adopted the case might go on indefin-
itely.
Mr.. Deuprey was accompanied in
court this morning by Charles A. Car
ter, who was specially engaged in the
case to attend 10 the Federal court s
end of it. The contention was made
that any action taken at this time by
the State tribunal would be null in con-
sequence of the case being before the
Federal Supreme Court. The motion to
continue was heard in both, and the
court was unanimous in granting the
continuance.
