IT is u goodnatured, sober crowd we
have aboard tho steamship. Several
haveremarked how very undemonstra-
tive it is. OF our passengers one-half
are Americans. They are of every de-
gree and of all sorts but dudes. There
is house builder from Brooklyn, q
contractor from Boston, the business
manager Of New York pa'tr, and
boys that seem not over nineteen.
They have all formed parties on part
nerships, some to share every vicissi-
tude or fortune, others only to last
until the gold.diggings are reached.
Only few are dressed in the loose
rough clothes of the miner. Several
that | know who are going in have
kept on their city suits, aud IL has
been amusing to see men unaccus.
toned TO rough garments emerge, one
by one, from their staterooms with
their miners rig Of heavy boots and
c0rdurOys. One most picturesque
figure il swarthy man Of spare but
wiry build, who turned out in full
buckskin suit, at which some smiled;
but after a talk with him it was i'm
possible not TO admit that while the
buckskin might "draw" somewhat in
wet weather, nevertheless he was az

One noticeable thing is the total alb
sence OF oaths or the sort Of language
one will hear continually from morn

conversation is pitched IN low key;
men have serious things to talk about
those they have left behind; the
pass ahead Of them; their outfits and
those of their neighbors. Some are
pretty well equipped; indeed, save
for a general lack Of waterproof sacks,
they are well prepared for the rainy

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
slip, and in order to launch her slides,
we'll creased with soft soap, were built
from the stocks to the edge Of the
water When oil was ready planks
were removed until the cylinder was
held by but single support, and at a
given signal this was knocked away.
Slowly the cylinder started down the
soapy incline. and then, moving lit

great splash. Tho waves it caused
leaped high on the opposite side OF the
slip and the crowd there was very
freely sprinkled. Over and over the
craft rolled until she touched the OPP
posite side of the slip, and when oil
was quiet on the waterit was seen that
she drew but little over two feet of
water.

A few weeks ago there was launched
from the yards of the Columbian Iron
Works, of Baltimore the Argonaut, n
queer looking submarine craft, which
goes on wheels like wagon.
This vessel, which is the invention
of Baltimorean, Simon Lake, is, as
for as intentions and appearance are
concerned, unique. 1t is intended for
commercial work, including the ex-
ploralion of the bottom of rivers,
lakes, bays aud even seas, for treasure
seeking and other purposes of kin
dred character
The vessel presents curious ap-
pearance. The cigar-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 a 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

crawls," consisting of fences extend
ing from the shore out into the water.
When the fisherman wants great tur-
tie for market one of the boys, whose
shiny brown body is stripped bare,
stands in the prov Of the boat as it
is pushed from the shore. He watches
intently, and presently he sees one of
the big turtles taking nap on the
clear white sand Of the bottom. He
dives quickly, and, swimming down
from behind, seizes the turtle firmly
by the shell. OF course the turtle
wakes up and like bucking broncho
begins to dash and plunge wildly
about, seeking to throw its plucky
rider. Not succeeding in this, it darts
quickly to the surface, where the boy
gets his first breath. Then down
again it goes tearing through the
water and beating the foam with Its
hippers. But its rider never lets go
for moment, and presently the great
turtle grows exhausted, and the boy,
by lifting on the front end OF the
shell forces it to the boat, where it is
quickly loaded aboard and taken away
to market. 1t is great sport, and the
boys enjoy il as much as our Western
boys like lively young pony to ride.

up to the maxims of the Sermon on
the Mount. As a youth Tolstoi at
tended the University Of Ka2an, and
at the age of twenty-three he entered
the army and went with his brother to
the Caucasus. He fought in the Cri
mean War, and at its close resigned
his commission and devoted himself
to literature. One of his earliest
works, War and Peace is most APP
praised by Russians. 1t deals with
the invasion Of Russia by Napoleon.
Since he brought out "Anna Karenina"
in 1876 Tolstoi has given himself up
to social problems, with the hope Of
supplying mankind with better
moral aud religious philosophy than
that which now obtsns in the world.
"Kreutzer Sonata appeared in 1890,
presenting @ certain theory OF morals
which so shocked some eminent
Christians in America that it was

engines that would make 600 revolu-

twenty-five feet in diameter and 100
feet long, and tapers to fifteen feet, so
that each end is kept well out of the
water. As it is passenger boat it
will be the strangest ever noated. The
passengers will be on platform on

other bodies of water, the propeller Of
the vessel supplying the necessary mo-
tive power. The boat will be 80 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 a 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.
Lenses are also arranged to project a
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 On hour on the surface and
about five miles on the bottom. She
will have an electric storage capacity
for n 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 IL neces-
sary.
When not engaged in saving valu.
ables from wrecks along the coast, she
is to run on the surface Of the seq 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 1000 vessels
sunk aud the 800, 900, 900 lost annu.
ally at sea. The boat may also beused
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 300
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 of 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. II 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 tbs
mass OF steel drop, or rather roll, III

If an ounce Of silver be worth one dollar,
half an ounce Is worth half dollar, and
so on. These values being fixed by ma
ture in the metals and therefore perma-
nent, everybody would understand It..
ALI that would be expected or required Of
the government would be to guarantee
the weight and standard.
But the practice is different, and every
student of the subject knows that the
values of these metals have always va
ried just like values of other property
did at all times and places where they
were not vigorously protected by laws
affixlng values to certain quantities and
prescribing and enforcing heavy penal
ties for counterfeiting, clipping or other
wise "debasing" the coins.
Remove the protection of the law and
the value Of gold would drop quite as
fast as that of silver has done.

ABOUT STATE RAILROADS.

In the Advocates paragraph referring
to the Inauguration of State railroad
system as proposed by the Independent,
we did not intend to touch the
principle involved. The present editor
of the Advocate has all along insisted
that the only way which seems at pres
ent feasible, of securing government or
State railroads, is to build them And
that is his opinion now. The Advocate,
during the summer OF 1896, contained a
series of articles on the railroad Ques-
tion prepared by the writer Of this, and
the building theory for getting our own
roads was plainly outlined therein.
The Advocate is now ready to discuss
The subject OF State ownership, but we
do not think the time is ripe for an i'm
mediate beginning of the actual con-
struction. The thing to do is to keep the
subject before the people until we can
secure an amendment to the constitution
authorizing the scheme and directing
the Legislature to provide ways and
means for safe, effective and honest work
in the construction and management Of
the roads. And in the meantime let us
continue zealously in our efforts to Sc
sure reasonable through rates on all
the things we send out of or bring into
the State by rail-
