bay at ten-knot speed till she came nearly
opposite the Crescent Athletic Club

the turret cap was closed, the boat ele-

an easy, gliding movement dived at an an

ten-foot jackstaff were dipping III the
waves and then slowly she circled, en-
tirely submerged, about the tug which
had accompanied her. The first descent
lasted fifteen minutes. She came to the
surface just in time to escape being run
down by big lumber schooner. The Hol-
land discharged a dummy projectile from
her forward gun. 1T is a wonderful in

the trip. Wonderful. indeed! The prob

solved. The boat handles marvelously

than had expected. This boat may rev

AUSTRALIANS MONTE CARLO.

A Remarkable Gambling Scheme That Is
 Called the TattersalPs Sweep
 The Australian race lottery. in which MT. Stoddart. captain of the English cricketers, won 80, 800 the other day, is one of the most extraordinary gambling schemes in the world. It is best known as "Tattersall's sweep and has been in existence for many years at the antip- odes. The breath of scandal has never touched 1t, and the drawings" for the bigger events are supervised by a com mittee of leading citizens and pressmen of the city in which it is at the time To. cated.
 George Adams, the organizer, makes it a business to get up sweeps on all the chief Australian races, and, owing to the strong support he receives, is en- abled to give prizes that even singly would be taken as modest fortunes by most people. It has been estimated that during twelvemonth run $7, 500, 900 of the publio's money passes through Ad- ams' hands
 Take the Melbourne cup, for instance. On this race the big sweep is 100, 900 subscribers at $5 each, and the price for drawing the horse that wins the cup is $150, 900. The holder of the second horse ticket receives $S7, 500, and $12, : 500 goes to the third horse ticket. In addition, some thousands of pounds are distributed among those who get horses, whether they start in the race or not, and there are hundreds of cash prizes, ranging from $500 to the modest "fiver" each. On this race there will be other sweeps at prices to suit the most hum. ble contributor. Two consultations, as they are termed, of 50,000 at half a sovereign each, and one of 100, ,OOO at 5 shillings each.
 All through the year racing is going on in Australia, where the horse is idolized, and nearly every week there is a sweep. As mentioned previously, no doubt has ever been cast on the honesty of the organizer, who deducts 10 per cent from all the winnings so as to re- coup himself for his expenditure and exertion.
 He employs as many clerks as large bank, spends thousands of pounds an- nually In advertising and now holds in his possession nearly &26O, 900 worth of unclaimed prizes
 Legislation has time after time been put into force to wipe out "Tatter- sall's," but without success The New South Wales government by act of par liament drove Adams from Sydney, and he without delay settled in Brisbane. After 12 months location there the Queensland parliament did the same thing. and Hobart was the next site re- moved to and where the sweeps are merrily conducted now under the patron age in person of the prominent citizens. The Australian postal laws compel that all letters containing value must be reg istered, and it has been stated that Tat. tersall's brings $50, 900 per annum in revenue to the coffers of the colony where its officers are-London Mail.

Great Britain's Navy.

In answer to the alarm raised by Lord Charles Beresford in connection with the relative strength of the British and other European navies, the Westminster Gazette publishes figures to show that whatever may have been the case a short time ago, England will soon be in & position to hold the sea even against the combined navies of France, Russia and Germany. The writer points out that ships built before 1880 are now of very little account as fighting factors. It is shown also that between 1880 and 1890 Great Britain neglected her navy to an astonishing degree. In that time she built only IS battleships and 12 cruisers, against the 22 battleships and 10 cruisers launched in France, Ger many and Russia
 It is In the recent decade, however, that she is making rapid strides in naval power. For these ten years, between 1890 and 1900, her building programme includes 32 battleships and 42 cruisers, against 37 cruisers of France, Germany and Russia In torpedo boats she is not much richer than the three powers, but she possesses an enormous advantage in torpedo boat destroyers.

AS soon after as the weather and gen. eral conditions permit give thorough dipping with any good dip. to which we would add for show sheep two quarts of cheap castor oil and pint of oil of tar for every dozen sheep. These two oils should be well mixed together be- fore being added to the dipping liquid. This suggestion presupposes not only a warm dip but also one as hot as the judgment of the owner considers prao- tical. Otherwise some sheep will get more than their necessary share of oil. There ought to be no hurry in running such sheep through the dipping vat. Three minutes is short enough for such an immersion. This may be partially prolonged to advantage by letting the sheep in hand get to the shallow end of the dipping vat and there giving them thorough shampooing on the head with tar carbolic dog soap. using the dip liquid with the soap. If this be thoroughly done and repeated several times before show time. 1t will beat stubble shearihg ''out of sight" by show time for beautiful head we'll covered with wool on such breeds as necessarily require this characteristic. It is well to remember the thoroughness of the sham poo is important, so that all dead wool and scurf may be removed.
