HabitabiIity.
The principal thing necessary to make
submorine boat habitable is an ade
auate supply of air. For this the crew
must depend upon the supply carried in
the boat. or there must be communication
with the surface through supply and ex-
hGust tubes. through which the air is
forced by pumps. Both methods have
been used, either separately or in COM

Methods of Propulsion.
The submarine boats OF a century ago
were prouelled while under water by oars
or wheel. The oars projected through
the sides with watertight joints OF oiled
leather, and could be feathered or turned
edgewise on the return stroke. What
kind OF wheel was used is not clear,
but it probably was not a screw Since
the Invention of the screw, however, all
boats have used It. In some of the earlier
screw boats no motor was provided and)
the screw had TO be turned by hand,J

RICE CASE
Sensational Developments Said to Have
 Been Unearthed

New York, October 7.--The World tomor- row will publish a statement upon the re- cent developments growing out of the death of MT. Rice. The World will say:
 ''The district attorney is prepared to prove that in Jan'ry last Patrick had established intimate relations with Rice, and that Valet Jones tried to form a conspiracy with an- other person to get his employers fortune. The valet studied him carefully for sev- eral weeks.
 "To the person Jones stated that he knew the intentions of Rice well: that the estate was worth several millions and that he (Jones) had absolute control over the old man.
 T have in my power" he is alleged to have said to Rice's friend, ito get the old fellow to make new will, and to put you in it for a very large sum of money l will do this if you will divide with me. No one will ever know anything about it. The plan is perfected safe and will make us millionaires.
 Tt Is stated man who was approached by Jones in this matter when he met Jones on subsequent occasion decided to enter half heartedily into this plot and for a time even played fast and loose with the scheme. Finally Jones told him he did not think the scheme possible, and they ceas- ed to discuss it.
