A SUBMARINE BOAT.
Dreams of the Past Become Real
Facts Of the Present.
The Holland Torpedo Boat just
Launched ut Elizabeth, N. j., Like
" to Rcvolutionixc Warfare
Several Nations After Her.

The Holland submarine torpedo boat
has just been launched at the Cres-
cent ship yards in Elizabeth, N. j. The
inventor of the boat, John P. Holland,
has closely watched the construction of
the vessel. The vessel was christened
'The Holland" by Mrs. Nixon, wife of
Lieut.. Lewis Nixon, the constructor.
There were few persons at the launch
ing. Inventor Holland says there will
be no attempt at submarine evolu-
lions for several weeks. The construc-
ton of the boat has been eagerly
watched all over the country. The
boat is cylindrical in shape, is so feet
8 inches long, with 4foot screw pro-
tecting extension. The diameter is 10
feet inches amidship, and the mold
ed diameter is the same. The boat cam
travel under water eight knots an hour
for eight hours, and ten knots an hour
on the surface. The power comes from
a gasoline engine and dynamo, the
former to be used when the boat is
sailing along the surface, and the latter
when she is submerged. 1t will take
less than a minute to submerge the
poa1, anu apout the same length OF time
for her to rise to the surface. The arma-
ment consists of three torpedo tubes
which will discharge high explosives.
Six men will constitute the crew.
Mr.. Holland was asked by the United
States, British and Spanish govern
ments to allow representative on
board during the trial trip of the boat,
but he refused the request After n
trial trip he says he will allow an en-
gineer from each government to see
the workings of the boat, which it is
believed will revolutionize warfare. Sew
eral foreign nations have bid for the
vessel, but it is likely that Mr.. Holland
will sell her to the United States.

many of the handsomest evening

great advantage, however, in the fact
that it wears wonderfully WE'LL and is
also marvelously light in weight. While
entire costumes are made of it, it is par

quite novelty in it's way, is trimmed
with jeweled applique lace.
