Submarine Boat Sickness.

During the experiments with the
French submarine boat "Narval,"
when it remained under water for any
length of time, the crew experienced
peculiar sickness. All attempts to
find cut the cause of this have SO far
proved futile, but it is thought to be
possibly due to constitutional causes.
Consequently the Ministry of Marine
has issued orders that all men in the
future recruited for submarine boats
must undergo rigorous medical ex-
animation. Doctors have also been
assigned to accompany submarine
boats during submergence trials to
study and ascertain, if possible, the
cause of the malady.
