This was made with a 2O-foot wooden mod
Ell Of the Iowa, double the length of any
model used abroad. 50 far this has been
tested at various speed up to twelve knots,

books. In a few days, experiments viii be
made at greater speeds. At present the

prudent to use too great velocity. As the

recovering the losses of the bank. One
asset marked doubtful" the bonds of an
absorbed railroad company, yielded more
than $4,000 at the close of a case that
went to the Supreme Court of the United
states. A Wisconsin gas company, after
lying dormant for nearly a score of years,
walked up and paid a large per cent of
its worthless" bonds.
And so it happened that in 1898 the re-
ceiver was able to pay a dividend of 10
per cent. to the stockholders. and he fol-
lowed it in 1875 with a second dividend of
per cent.
When the receiver had finished the pay
ment OF the liabilities of the bank, the
law required him 70 resign in favor of an
agent who should dispose of the remain
ing assets of the bank and divide the
proceeds among the stockholders.
But the stockholders had other ideas
They had confidence in the receiver, and
they wanted him retained in the manage
ment of the business with which he was
now so familiar. Besides, an agent might
