TORPEDO-BOATS.
TiE RECENT WAR CALLS ATTENTION TO THE
PROGRESS OF AMERICAN INVENTION

PROGRESS OF AMERICAN INVENTION
IN THIS DIRECTION
A series Of tests Of the Holland submarine tor
pedo-boat was made last March for Lieutenant
Sergeant. Of the Naval Auxiliary Board The
work was done In thirty feet of water. and gave
full satisfaction to Mr. Holland and to the Gov
erEment expert. The first trials consisted Of a
series Of surface runs at a speed Of ten knots. In
which the boat showed great maneuvring
power. changing her course with remarkable
rapidity.
The diving test was made at the same speed,
and the boat went down at an angle OF IS de-
grees with the surface. At a depth of seven
Feet she came to an even keel and for
ward for several hundred yards. Another time
the boat dived completely out Of sight. her flag
pole disappearing altogether, and no trace Of
her being visible until she reappeared several
hundred yards from the point at which she de-
scended.
The Holland submarine boat is a result OF
some twenty years experimental work on the
part Of its designer who firmly believes that
this type Of vessel is to become the most deadly
weapon Of future naval warfare This is the
first submarine boat OF its kind ever built and
tested The Holland is SIS feet long. 1OA feet In

The following letter explains itself:
Office of the Grand Master Workman.
Skowhegan. Me, Aug. !, 1898.
To the Members of the Ancient Order
of United Workmen:
Dear Brothers; With the declaration
Of war against Spain. for its inhu-
mainly to citizens of its colonies, by
the United States. came inquiries from
many members of our order who were
already in the militia of the several
states and those whose patriotic i'm
pulses led them to enlist to assist the
government in this cause, to know
what effect such enlistment or service
would have upon their membership in
the order
While everyone holding an official
position in the Grand Lodge assured
such brothers that their protection was
secure and that their families would
receive the benefit of the order in case
of their death: still. with this assur-
ance. in many cases doubt existed,
The last session of the Supreme Lodge
in commendabl Bile spirit of patriotism
has proclaimed that the protection of
our order should be over the homes
and the loved ones of our brothers
while they are doing soldiers duty on
sea or land, and that each and every
jurisdiction may contribute alike ac-
cordng to its membership in this pa
triOtic and humane work.
At this session there was enacted a
law providing for special war relief
fund from which shall be paid all losses
that occur either in battle, from
wounds received or diseases contracted.
while in the service of the United
States. provided the death occurs with
in six months from the date of recelV-
ing such wounds or contracting sucfi
disease BY this law all Jurisdictions
contribute their proportion i'll the pay
ment of our war losses no matter
whether they are at the present paying
their maximum rate or less,-the bur
den comes alike on all. In order 10
raise this fund, there has been called a
special relief assessment of % cents
upon each member of the order IN
good standing on the first day OF Au-
gust, 1898, and when this fund is eX-
hausted another may be called. In tho
interest of humanity we hope that one
may be sufficient
Let us then with patriotism promptly
respond to this can for the protection
of those of our members who are now
in our country's service.
This is not only call for the eXem-
utilization of the protection of our or
der but also an opportunity to demon
strate our love of country.
Fraternally yours in c.. H. and r.,
