GOELET CUP RACES.


Superb Battle For Supremacy Between the
Navahoe and the vigilsnt.
The 18th annual contest for the Goelet
Cup was sailed of Newport yesterday. It
was disagreeable day and but little en-
thusiasm. Three boats raced for the cups,
the ''cruiser" Navahoe, the former cup de-
fender, the vigilant, and the schooner
Colonia. These owners deserve credit, es-
pecially Mr.. X. p. Carroll Of the Navahoe.
With q yacht built for 'cruising," as her
designer has always claimed, he started
against the racer Vigilant, and this when
the latter has been improved at thousands
of dollars expense since she was built.
Add to this, the vigilant has larger sail
plan than the Navahoe.
The regatta committee held on the start,
In the hope that other racers would ap-
pear. The wait brought forth none, and
signals were set of for the Block Island
course, which gave q run before the wind
of IL 1-2 miles, thence to the mark boat on
West island, and an 18-mile beat with any
easy fetch for the last leg Of six miles, or

attacked by submarine boat There is
another object in paying particular at
tention to the construction of the hull
under water. and that is to minimize the
danger of sinking if the vessel strikes a
rock or submerged wreck.
NEW MATERIAL USED
Until recent years the safety of the
underwater body was sought to be
guarded by giving the vessel a double
hull, with a considerable space between
the inner and outer skins The theory
was that the outer skin might be pierced
in several places and still, if the inner
skin remained intact, the vessel would
not be put out of action. This double
hull with watertight compartments lib
orally supplied was depended upon to
reduce the danger of a ship being de-
stroyed by blow from below the water
| line.
| The first ships of the new navy-the
| Chicago, Boston and Atlanta-were built
| on this plan. Now, however something
more is done than just to give the ship
a double bottom. The space between
the inner and outer skins is now divided
into many small compartments, making
it a complete mass of cells, like honey
comb, and these cells are filled with a
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1897-12-19

material called cellulose. If one OF these
cells is pierced so that the water gets
in the cellulose swells up and plugs UP
the hole.
Before the present system was put in
use, If the outer hull was pierced the
water would flow in and fill the space
between the hulls. Now if the water
gets in in spite of the cellulose it will
only reach the cells which are ruptured,
and the others will be as buoyant as
ever. In order to sink a man-of-war
now great number Of cells would have
to be punctured.
OF course, if the projectile. whatever 1t
was, torpedo or shot, went way through
into the hold of the ship it would be
principally depended on to keep her
afloat, but the hole in the ship would be
much easier to repair because OF the
circumscribing Of the extent of the in
jury because Of the cellular construc-
ton of the hull, and the uninjured cells
would aid in buoying up the vessel.

he walks below her on the bottom of

Terrible Volcanic ERUPTION

Mount Popocatapetl In Mexico, a vol
cano which was supposed to be extinct,
has broken out again with ten-fold vio-
lence. Villages in the vicinity have been
utterly destroyed. and thousands of lives
annihilated. There have been no direct
advices from the City of Mexico but pri-
vate kilograms intimate that the govern
ment is taking active measures for the
relief Of families made destitute by the
appalling catastrophe. Cataclysms of this
sort remind us of eruptions of that afro
c!ous endemic, malarial fever, durable by
Hos,etter's Stomach Bitters. Though not
simultaneously destructive of human life
nevertheless malaria destroys the con-
stitution of hosts of people. For this mall
ady the Btters Is a thorough remedy and
sure preventive. Experience has proved
this wherever malaria is most virulent--

bladder trouble, rheumatism, nervousness

THE GREAT KHAN'S MONEY

Marco Polo. the great traveller, was in
China more than 600 years ago and re-
lates many curious incidents of that
time. The city of Picking was then called
Cambalu, and, speaking of it, he says:
1T is incredible what multitudes of peo-
pie, merchants and merchandise of all
sorts are seen in Cambalu." 1t was
then, as now, the capital of the empire
and probably the largest city in the
world. The great khan was then at the
pinnacle of his power and one of the
wisest of rulers. Marco gives this ac-
count of his financial system:
The money of the great khan is not
made of gold or silver, or other metal;
but they take the middle bark from the
mulberry tree. and this they make firm
and cut in divers round pieces great and
little, and imprint the kings mark thereon:
OF this paper money, therefore, the en-
peror causeth large mass to be made
In the city of Cambalu. which sufficeth for
the whole empire, and no man under pain
of death may coin any other. or spend any
other money, or refuse il in all his king
doms and countries nor any coming from
another kingdom dare spend any other
money in the empire of the great khan
Hence it follows that merchants after COM
Ing from remote countries into the city of
Cambalu bring with them gold silver
pearl and precious stones, and receive the
kings money for them; and because this
money Is not received in their country
they change it again in the empire of the
great khan for merchandise, which they
carry away with them. He also payeth
stipends to his officers and army in the
aforementioned money. And. lastly,
whatever thing he needs in his court he
buyeth with this money. Wherefore there
&c n L. ioo I t.,
eXceedeth him In treasure, not expended in
the mint. as elsewhere.
This account of the financial policy of
the great khan Is especially interesting
in these times, when there is so much
discussion over the subject of money.
There are certain features about it
which may we'll set our bankers and
politicians to thinking. How the middle
bark of the mulberry tree was treated 10
render 1t durable for the purpose is left
to conjecture, but the money made of
1t was precisely of the character of the
paper money of our time, and Marco
Polo calls it paper money 1t had the
impress of law upon it, or, as stated
"the imprint Of the kings mark" and
was cut in pieces to indicate it's demon
inat!on, or the value of each piece. This

doms and countries under the dominion
OF the great khan-just as our paper

sent out from there. The law against
counterfeiting this money Of the grea
kahn was very severe, the penalty be!ne
death; and 1t was likewise high Grim,
to discredit the same by refusing to ac
cept 1t in payment of debts. 1t has beer

banking and finance were derived from
the merchants of Venice and Genoa and
date back about 400 or 500 years, but it
is evident that the Italian cities got their
notions on the subject from the great
kahn through Marco Polo, who was HIM
self a Venetian
This remarkable narrative represents
the country of the great khan as flour
ishing under his financial system be-
yond all other Kingdoms and countries
in the world. Gold and silver from other
countries poured into his empire and
We're exchanged for his products, but
We're not sent to the mint, as elsewhere,
so that there was mot king to be found
in the world who could exceed him in
treasure"
1t is quite evident that this financial
system of the great khan was adopted
by his empire alone, and without regard
to international agreement, and may
not the great American republic draw a
valuable lesson from his practice? If
we had a financial system of our own,
would not other countries bring their
precious metals and other valuable COM
modities and exchange them for our
products? If not, why not?
But there is one feature of the great
khan's system that could be adopted by
the United States with great propriety.
1t was declared a crime to discredit his
money, and it should be made a high
crime for any citizen of this country to
cast discredit upon the government. 1t
is common thing in these times for
citizens. and even high officials, to ex-
press doubt as to the financial RELIABLE
ity Of this republic. They loudly pirate
about the necessity for keeping a hoard
of gold on hand to redeem our securities
and freely talk about the unrelia bility
of the government obligations. If they
We're TO talk in that same way about a
bank or firm, its credit would soon be
destroyed, and they could be held &C
countable for it, Any one who discredits
this government or discriminates against
any OF its lawful money should be Sc
vercly punished. c.

This picture shows the underwater
body Of the United States cruiser which
Is now being repaired at the Brooklyn
navy yard in order that she may take
her place once more among the active
ships of the American navy. 1t shows
the ship as she would look in action with
the guns of a Spanish or German feet
pounding her above water, and shows
the part of the vessel which the hostile
vessels would try to reach with their
torpedoes or submarine boats, if they
had any.
II Is the underwater body of a man-of-
war which is the most vulnerable part of
her. Her turrets and sides may be
plated thick with inches of steel and her
great guns may be able to send her foes
seen above water to the bottom, but be-
meath the water she is unarmed and I'M
armored. 1t Is there she is as helpless
and as vulnerable almost as a merchant
steamer, and it is to strike this vuner-
able part Of the hull that torpedoes and
submarine boats are invented.
One of the desires of the naval de-
eigner is to make the hull Of his vessel
under water so that the least possible
damage will be done to it if bad luck
should cause it to be hit by a torpedo or

The fact that so many experiments

and that torpedo warfare Is go much

has made naval constructors of late pay

machinery and her battery is to be
brought up to date. She will also have
a new rig. Originally she was brigan-

military masts. Workmen are now busy
on her, and an appropriation has been
asked for to complete her rehabilita-
