DIPPING The DIP.
q Trip Under Four Feet of Water
without Getting Wet.

Without Getting Wet.
In a shop on Atlantic avenue in Bos-
ton there is building a torpedo shaped
metallic boat about sixteen feet long,
with a depth Of five feet and egg shape
in cross section. The cockpit seats
foul persons. Their heads come about
q foot below the highest point Of b
boat.
Boats of this style are designed for
use in a new scheme for summer and
beach resorts to be known as dip the
Dip" says the Boston Post. The dip
the Dip is a submarine diving boat,
running on overhead rails. The scheme
is to shoot these sixteen foot metallic
boats containing -Four passengers each
down an incline similar in shape, de-
sign and angle to the shoot the
shoots except hat it a a COM
plete circuit, being an endless track
At the bottom of the incline there is a
tank of water about twelve feet deep,
eight feet wide and seventy-fve feet
long.
AS the heavy metallic torpedo boa
comes down the incline it plungeS into
the tank Of water for a distance of
thirty feet and is totally submerged to
about foul feet at it's greatest depth.
The boats Impetus is sufficient to car
ry it through the water and up an in
cline back 20 the normal level, which is
several feet higher than the surface Of
the water in the tank.
The passengers are seated in a cock
pit entirely open at b top and sides,
and yet not a drop Of water comes
within a foot or eighteen inches of the
passengers. The reason of this, so he
~inNentos. L. A Carpenter Of Beach
mont, claims, is that the speed Of the
pointed BOAT throws the water aside,
OR, to use Mr.. Carpenters own words,
'the speed of the boa as it enters the
water is about fifty feet a second, or
thirty miles an hour, which enables the
boat to travel it's WI length in one
quarter of a second. This takes them
through that part Of the tank in which
they aEe Totally submerged. a distance
of thirty feet. in less than one-half a
second. The opening in the boat being
but five feet, gives the water but one
twelfth Of a second in which to fall OF
the passengers, but as the force of
gravity is not sufficient to draw any
object farther han one-Quarter inch
the nfSt OF q second the
water does not get time to get into or
touch any part of the boat, particularly
the opening where the four passengers
sit,
"The boat is so heavy and SHARP
pointed and comes into the water a
such arate of speed that it's sharp nose
literally bores or tunnels a passage fol
itself through the water, which does
not have time to fall back or cave il
until the boat has passed through. The
boat, after coming out of the water
travels along and up an incline of {
height of six or eight feet by it's owl
momentum. This acts as a brake an(
slows the boat up so that it glide:
around the curve and comes to a stand
still at the starting point. ready to b.
connected to ar endless cable ane
drawn up the incline for a fresh start.
Mr.. Carpenter has been allowed
patent on the dip the dip" and is nov
building at Crescent Beach the frs

Great Wealth In Isle of Pines.

Speaking Of Cuba's resources, Gov
ernor General Wood says: Given the
little Isle Of Pines holds millions Of
dollars of undeveloped wealth in the
way of marble and iron. IT'S timber
has been pretty well cut, merely be-
cause its small size and the fact hat
vessels could easily reach 1t made
transportation comparatively easy. Be-
tween the Isle Of Pines and the main
land are famous sponge fisheries, and
on the island in many places are fine
mineral springs, which, when investi-
gated, will doubtless prove to be Of
great medicinal value. This makes it
possible tina the island will some day
become an important health resort, al
though that, of course, is still a long
way off"

8. What caused the slow progress
from Cienfuegos to Santiago?
4. The reasons for the ~retrograde

6. What was the condition of the
coal supply of the squadron, the facili-
ties for coaling and the necessity, if
any, for going to Key West to coal,
and were the reports Of Schley relative
to this subject accurate?
Z. Did Schley make proper effort to

COUDERT ON ANARCHY.


ed by Noted Lawyer.
What should the United States do by
International arrangement or by legis-
lation to suppress anarchism?
There is no way Of dealing with an
archists internationally except by
treaty, but treaties only provide and
San only provide for crimes committed
In n country by a fugitive found in
another country, says Frederic r.
Coudert, the lawyer, in the New Yor&
Journal.
The mere profession Of a~narchfstic
doctrine in theory, accompanied by nc
overt act, would hardly be deemed a
satisfactory ground for arresting and
s~urrendering a fugitive. We are &C.
customed to sue freedom that public
opinion, when unaffected by the i'm
preston of the attempted murder of
our president, will be reluctant to put
letters upon liberty of speech. Our
theory has been that it was safer to let
fools, 1unatics and demagogues raw as
much as they pleased than to try to
prevent them, thereby adding the
temptation Of forbidden fruit to the
other attractions of wild talk.

COTTON CROP TUATIO

The date Of the coming Of a
killing frost is needed in order
to determine tbs size of the crop.
It is q late crop, and an early
frost would cut it materially. At
present estimates vary widely,
running all the way from 9,oO0,-
900 10 100000 bales, and the
estimatora will bee. OOO,O bales
apart, O. a portion of it, until
frost comes.
But no one has discounted the
comi1g OF a frost. Cotton starts
on a low Lowell, whereas last year
it started high and circumstances
pulled it down. This year the
price is low, and any marked
shortage will be marked by an
advance.
It is said the outstanding in
terest in future is remarkably
small. It is we'll known that the
mills are buying from hand to
mouth, carrying no stocks Ex-
ports have been light. Buyers
and producers r apart, and they
will stay apart until the first kill
ing frost comes English buyers
are beginning to see that present
prices should be taken advantage
Of. Stocks on the other side Of
the seashore have rarely beer
lighter. Spinuers over there are
cotton hungry. At home print
cloths now readily command
cents, and all other cotton fabrics
are firmly held.

Pat Shot With the'Camera In Battle.
Few photographers in the States re-
alize to what an extent. photography
has been useful In the work Of the
United States IN p~acifying the Philip
pines. A very complete Photographic
department has been organized, and
its members have performed some real
~ heroic feats. Captain O'Keefe per-
formed before Malabon one Of the
most brilliant pieces of photography
ever attempted. He was engaged i'll
taking a picture of the enemy's In
trenchnents some hundred yards with
out our lines when a band of Filipinos,
led by a deserter, attempted to cut him
off. He calmly focused his camera On
the proper spot, waited until the band
broke from cover, not fifty yards from
him, and then photographed them.
During, his subsequent retreat his as
.sfstant was twice wounded, he himself
once, his spare plates were shattered,
but the camera was uninjured, and the

treason, for which he is now serving a

GEORGIA TAX RATE.
It will Be $5.40 on the ST, 900 This Year
SAYS Atlanta Paper.

The Atlanta Daily News OF Friday
says:
Georgis's tax rate for this year will
be So 40 on the 81 900. Tsis rate will
be fixed At a meeting which will be
held between Governor Gambler and
Comptroller Wright next week.
IC was thought for several days past
that the rate would be the same this
year as 1t was for last year, S5 20 on
the 81, 900, but the heavy sppropria
tioDs by the legislature, and the loan
of 5000, 900 will require RAISE OF twenty
cents on the 81 l,OOoa
The total Increase Of property values
in the state is only $40. 900 600 this year
over last year. This increase with the
rate at So 40 will only afford an extra
income to the state Of $4,000. The
legislature tackled on to tbs ppropria
tion bill, $4OO 900 extra, and to meet
these appropriations the rate will be
raised.
The fact that the rate will be raised
will no doubt be a big disappointmen
to large property owners, as they were
figuring on reduction instead of an
increase.
In 1899 the rate WAS $5 SO, This
amount was brought down to IS 20. In
1898 the rate was Sc 81. The total source
of revenue to be derived py the state
this year from taxation will amount to
81 ,2s0, 900, which is much smalIer than
was expected.
