NEW SUBMARINE BOAT.

@. 3. Gillette, the 10 year old son of

submarine boat, now has a working
model and has put it in operation in a
large bathtub.
1t seems to work in an admirable
way. Its submarine machinery is
worked by electricity, and its other ma
chinery works by steam generated by
naphtha. The little vessel will run un-
der water with decks awash or upon the
surface.
Young Gillette has had correspond

and will doubtless soon obtain patent.
He says he can handle the boat easily

speed under water should be nine knots
