Argonnut Built to Recover Money
and Jewels Lost I'm ships.

Another attempt is to be made to
recover the millions in specie, bullion
and precious stones which have been
lost along the coast of this and other
countries in foundered ships. The
means to be used is a submarine boat
built for the purpose and fitted with
wheels for running on the bottom, as
well as with propeller for navigating
the surface. The inventor of this YES
sci, (which was launched the other day
at Baltimore and christened Argonaut,
is Mr.. Simon Lake, of Baltimore. The
plan is to, run the boat along the bot
tom until the. wreck is reached, and
then send out men in divers arDlor,
who will be supplied with Sh from the
reservoirs on the Argonaut. The ad-
vantage over the oil method is that the
depth of water will be no factor, and
work cannot. be interrupted by storms
The vessel is 30 feet long by nine feet in
diameter. She is built of steel and
ribbed very strongly to withstand the
pressure of water ct great depths.
Electricity is her propulsive, operating
and guiding force. Mr.. Lake says he
has the bearings OF several vessels sunk
on the New Jersey coast which are said
. To have on board s15,OOO,OOO in specie
and. bullion. Probably the first vessel
that will'be examined, says the invent
or, will be the New Era, which sank off

PATENT COW FOR HUNTERS.
1t Carries Them Quietly Into the
Midst of Unsuspecting Game.

Midst OF OnsuspectinS U"iue'
It is well-known fact that birds
and wild animals know what other
animals they have TO fear.
The birds that fly from man or
dog will hop around cow, even walk
ing right under her.
Man has now taken advantage OF this
fact to facilitate the slaughter OF birds
and other game.
A Nebraska man has invented a patent
COW for hunters, and the specifications
have been received at the patent Office
The invention presents the perfect
outward semblance of a most peace
able and amiable COW, but the foreleg'
and hindlegs are, in fact, the two palr'
of legs of two men. They are armed
with guns and have a plentiful supply
of ammunition.
The patent COW moves along IKE an
ordinary, harmless animal until IL is
in the midst of n lot of birds, When II
comes open and the two men INSIDE
blaze away.
The specifications state that the IN
yention consists Of hollow decoy am
NAL adapted to be supported and heid
in an upright position and operated by
an inclosed hunter, for whom the decoy
forms a concealing shell or blind.
The device, in its makeup, comprises
as essential clements flexible outer
shell of canvas or other suitable ma
terial, decorated eXteriorly to repre-
sent the animal in imitation OF which
the decoy is constructed, and said shell
is adapted to be supported or held IN ITS
distended position through the medium
of a collapsible metal framework which
allows the covering and framework OF
the decoy to be folded into a small space
for transportation.
Depending from the framework are
hollow portions representing legs, into
which are inserted the legs of the con-
cealed sportsmen, for whom there are
accommodation for two, one at each
end of the decoy.
Formed in the sides of the frame, at
suitable points, are windows or OPEN
ings protected by outward swinging
flap blinds, and through these windows
the sportsman in the rear may dis
charge his fowling piece when the game
has been successfully stalked. For the
firing of the hunter in front of the de-
coy there is provided a downward
swinging portion. which includes the
head and neck of the animal, so that,
by simply releasing a small catch from
the inside of the framework this re-
leases the swinging front portion, which
Immediately drops 10y gravity, and thus
leaves the sportsman free.-N. T. Jour-

Nayy Ern for Siberia.

A now era has just begun in the ms
tory of Siberia. Since the beginning OF
this month the whole OF that vast
Asiatic empire of the ear has become
endowed with a modern and uniform
system of public justice. Law courts
have been opened in the various pro
vincial capitals, and the principal trIb-
unal of appeal Of Siberia has been es-
tablished at Irlsutsk. Until now there
has been no systam Of legal procedure
whatever in Siberia, the entire country
being subject eNelusivoly to the arbi-
trary administrator OF autocratic ofii-
eials. True, there is yet room for i'm
provement since for the present there
is to be no trial by jury, while the
Justices OF the peace are to be appoint
ed by the crown, instead OF being
! elected by She people of the district. AT
the Same time the new system is GER
tain to constitute salutary check up
on the hitherto unbridled tyranny Of
Russian officialdom in Siberia.--Chica-
