When John p. Holland made the pa

opinion was all one way. That instead Of
Ignoring this offer the government should
have made haste TO accept It. and its un-
readiness to do 80 was set down TO OFF,

name.
In a recent Interview Mr.. Holland said:
1T has taken me % years To educate
the United States government up TO the

cation is still incomplete, apparently.
Twenty-three years ago I submitted my
FIRST plans for a submarine boat TO the

criticism that my invention was imprac-

large that no other arm in the service
could WELD 1t. 1t had a blade OF SUCH
finely tempered Damascus steel that II
could be bent nearly double. A Spanish
inscription was engraved on the blade:

In the heroic times of Charles XII.
the soldiers carried swords of giant
height. In their frocks of blue, with
gold belts, they were a most attractive

the knack of using. their enormous
swords with deadly effect.
Poets delight in feats of the sword,

A SUBMARINE GUN.
Problem of shosvng Under Water Be

Problem of ShosDng Unde Water Be
iieved to BE solved.
For several days experiments have
been in progress at Tybee with a gun
that shoots under water. says the Sa-
vannah News. Heretofore, IT has been
claimed that Il is absolutely impossible
to discharge a cannon or any other wea-
pon in which gunpowder is used under
water, the result of such an attempt be-
ing the bursting of the weapon used.
Harry Gallagher of this city believes
he has surmounted all the obstacles in
the way. and will soon have an inven-
tion hat meets all needs, so far as the
successful discharge Of projectiles under
water is concerned.
Mr.. Gallagher has been working on
this invention ever since the wal broke
out. His idea is that with such a wea-
pom as he has in view a shell can be
thrown against the unarmored part of
an ironclad below the water fine, and
the vessel readily sunk. He has pro-
crossed far enough in his experiments
to believe that success is assured. Hea-
Wy cannon balls have been thrown a
distance of nearly 200 feet under water
by his invention, and when it is perfect
ed he expects to be able to send de-
stTuctive omb many times that dis
lance.
The experiments at Tybee have been
made with a small cannon placed on
the beach ready to fire. When the can
o was completely submerged a an
yard reaching to the shore was pulled
