Her speed under these conditions is to be
twelve and a half knots an hour. Her
third stage is the submerged condition. For
this the smokestack and the air tube are
housed, the opening through which they
projected is Theoretically closed, and the
vessel is in condition to be sunk to a depth
not exceeding forty-five feet. her strength

The submersion is to be effected in two
ways. At her stern she carries horizontal
rudders. II the vessel is moving. by in
clining these rudders the bow is caused
to pitch downward and the vessel runs

to dive from a state of rest. To secure this
power she carries at her bow and stern two
screws with vertical axes actuated by
electric motors. BY working these screws
in one or the other direction, at varying
rapidly, the vessel can be sunk rapidly, can
be maintained at any desired level, can be
rapidly drawn upward to the surface. or
its approach to the surface can be made as
slow as desired.
A tube is provided to be raised above the
surface when the vessel is submerged.
which tube is to carry an inclined mirror
or prism, camera lucida fashion, by which
the commander will be able to watch the
enemy and guide his course. In the re-
stricted volume of the boat a compass can
not be used, owing to the proximity of so
much iron and steel. An attempt is to be
made to hold her mechanically in a
straight course by a triangular drag. The
theory of this is that she should be started
on a proper course by ocular methods, with
the drag set astern Of her when on such
course, any inclination from the desired d.
rection causing the drag to pull to one
side or the other, actuating the rudder SO
as to bring her back to her original course.

Crow for Bright Little
Shells.

One day while watching I saw a crow
crossing the Don valley with something
white in his beak. He flew to the mouth
of the Rosedale brook. then took q
short flight to the Beaver Elm. There he
dropped the white object. and, looking
about, gave me a chance to recognize my
old friend Silverspot. After a minute he
picked up the white thing-a shetland
walked over past the spring, and here,
among the docks and the skunk-cabbages.
he unearthed a pile of shells and other
white. shiny things. He spread them out
in the sur, turned them over, lifted them
one by one in his beak. dropped them,
nestled on them as though they were eggs,
toyed with them. and gloated over them
like a miser.- This was his hobby. his
weakness. He could not have explained
why he enjoyed them any more than a boy
can explain why he collects postage stamps,
or a girl why she prefers pearls to rubies:
but his pleasure in them was very real, and
after an hour he covered them all. includ-

some bits of tin. but there was also the
