ISTHMIAN CANAL TREATY.
Admiral Dewey Approves the Pro-
posed Provision Establishing
the Neutrality of the Canal.

New York, April ga special to
the Herald from Washington says:
In agreeing to insert in the pro-
posed isthmian canal treaty a provi-
sion establishing the neutrality of the
projected waterway. Secretary Hay
has taken action which meets with
the full approval of Admiral Dewey
and the majority of naval officers.
When told that the president would
pledge the United States to observe
the principle OF neutrality in the con-
vention under negotiation, the ad-
miral CALCULATED.
splendid! More than a year ago l
said that the canal should be neutral.
l am more convinced to-day of the
necessity OF such action. Erection of
Notifications would make the canal
one of the prime detectives of our
enemies operations in times of war.
Besides their construction would en-
tail enormous expense and necessitate
constant expenditure to keep them
manned and in proper condition. 2
see no necessity for them.
THE neutrality o. the canal can be
guaranteed by our fleet. The canal
is to be a commercial waterway, and
naturalization, therefore, will mean its
preservation"

speed beneath the surface is six to
eight knots.
In calm sea il is estimated that
the tiny gray specll of the subma-
rine boats coming tower cannot be
detected by powerful marine glasses
more than IA mile. In rough sea
the tower will hardly be visible at
more than few hundred yards.
The danger of the submarine boat
being hit by an enemy's guns is very
small, as the little coming tower is
but 2h feet in diameter. But precau-
ton is taken to protect it by four
inch plates, which will resist the fire
of four-inch projectiles.
1t might he supposed that boat
of this sort would be completely at
the mercy of the waves in storm.
But actual .rlals have shown that she
has lees motion in heavy sea than
the ordinary craft that stands well
up out of the water.

fected with n Persistent Fun
gus or Parasitic Growth.

st. Paul, Mimi, April ga special
from Fargo, n. d., says:
Flax growers in the northwest have
been alarmed over the diseased con-
dition of the crop for a year or two,
and as a result of Investigations, Prof.
II. J.. Bolley, of the North Dakota
Agricultural college, has discovered
that the flax plant is afflicted with a
fungus or parasitic growth, similar
TO smut on wheat. The worst feature
is the positive proof that the fungus
remains in the soil for years, and is
known to have reappeared after the
land had been cropped in wheat tso
years.
Investigations are now in progress
TO discover some method of treating
the soil to eradicate the growth, or to
treat the grain as wheat is treated
for smut with formaldehyde.
Prof, Bolley is one of the best au-
thorities in the west for the treatment
of wheat for smut, and was the dis
covercr of scabs on potatoes and the
methods of prevention.

This is for discharging torpedoes

This is intended for the purpose of

The H0Hmd Submarine

England Is Building Five of These Interesting and
Destructive Little Terrors

pedo boat has had half fair trial in
actual warfare, she bids fair to be
superseded by the submarine. This
quiet little turtle-back is exceeding
~ businesslike. Starting from an alb
solutely safe distance, and submerg-
ing herself in that cheapest and most
effective armor salt water Ga sub
stance as superior TO nickel steel for
turning the point of shell as that

can, il necessary, clamp torpedoes 10

The Holland submarine torpedo
boat, which is one of the most inn
portant additions TO our navy, is a
steel shell 81 feet long and pointed
az the ends. She is 1914 feet wide.
Within the comparatively small
space inside is slowed away 20 tons
Of machinery and fittings. This APP
paratus consists Of 30 horse power
gasoline engine, which runs the pro-
peller when the boat is on the SUR
face OF the water. The engine also
charges the storage batteries with
electricity. The electrical power is
drawn upon TO propel the boat below
the waters surface when the gaso-
line engine could not be operated. as
It would vitiate the air inside the ves-
sci.
In the bow OF the boat are her
