DEADLY SUBMARINE BOATS.
To Play mportant Part in Naval OPP
erations in Future.


There is not the slightest doubt that,
in future warfare on the seas, subnia-
rine boats will play very proniinent
part. In the system of naval tactics
which has been evolved by hun ireds
of years of sea fighting, these small.
inconspicuous boats will bring about
changes which will be almost revolu-
tionary. The blockading OF ports. as
practiced under our present system,
will be well-nigh impossible. The I'M
mensely wealthy sea coast cities,
which have trembled at rumors OF war
because of the likelihood that an en-
envy would steal up to their doors and
destroy them. may put aside their
fears. A few submarine boats will be
able to clear any harbor of attacking
ships of war. Against the stealthy and
underhand, but territically destructive
assault of such craft, a battleshlp
can have no defense but fight.
AT Santiago, for example, our men
war would never have dared to close
in around the mouth of the harbor il
the Spaniards had had three or four
vessels like the Holland scurrying
about and delivering quick and unfore-
seen blows from the depths Of the
ocean. A battleship cannot attack one
Of these naval sharks. for the very sim
pie reason that it presents no target.
Be the lookout ever SO vigilant, they
cannot. of course. detect an enemy ap-
preaching beneath the surface to at
tack from a water ambuscade. No ar
NOR plate that has ever been devised
Is as efficient as score or more feet
of water
Ordinary torpedo nets will give no
protection against submarine attack;
the assailants will be able to dive un-
der these nets, or send through them
a torpedo which will tear hole large
enough to enable the boat itself to pass.
/ think it is not putting it too strong,
says Lewis Nixon in Success. to say
that, in harbor protected by subma-
rine boats, blockading. as practiced un-
der the present system, will be a thing
of the past. l believe that it will be
necessary to devise some type Of war
vessel to withstand these boats. What
type this will be no man can yet say.

ASSASSINATION INSURANCE.
Prince Henry of Prussia the Only Man
Who Carries 1t.

Who Carries 1t.
Prince Henry of Prussia, our recent
royal guest, is probably the only per-
son in the world who is insured against
assassination solely. He has an insur-
ance of 100000 on his life which is
payable in case he is assassinated and
not otherwise. He took out this singu-
lar policy when he sailed for the East
to take over the command of the Ger
man fleet in Chinese waters some wears
ago. 1t was at Prince Heury's depart
ure for this command it will be re-
membered, that his brother. the Kaiser,
made his celebrated mailed fist
speech. This assassination risk upon
Prince Henry's life is held by German
companies and there does not seem to
be- any especial danger Of their ever
being called upon to pay it. for Prince
Henry is popular person and there
are several lives between him and the
throne.
1t would seem as If the Gar Of Rus
STA would be the monarch most in need
OF special insurance against assas-
sination, but that potentate, while
heavily insured, has no special clause
IN his policy regarding assassination.
He Is great believer in life insurance,
Is the Car. and, considering the man.
ner In which anarchists and nihilists
seek his life, it is no wonder. Within
week Of the birth of his daughter
the little Grand Duchess Olga, the
Gar had her life insured for $500
600. and his wife, the Czarina. is insur- |
ed for $1,250,OOO. He himself carries
IN insurance Of $4.OOO,OOO.
Prince Henry's brother. the Kaiser.
carries an insurance of $1,000, 600 and
his uncle. King Edward, is insured for
$3.6OO.OOO. George Vanderbilt is said
to be insured for $1.00O,OOO, and "Our
Chauncey," the bridegroom, for $500.
GOO. while John Corbury of Philadel. |
phia Is said to carry an insurance Of
81 100000.

no challenge on the part of the educa-
