TORPEDO BOAT ADDER.
An Exhibition of the Submarine Craft
Successfully Given.

An exhibition Of the Holland submarine
torpedo boat Adder, the first of this type
of vessel to be built for the United States
government, was given yesterday afternoon
in the Potomac off Marshall Hall. The ex-
hibition was witnessed by a large party
Of senators and Representatives and other
invited guests from the steam yacht Min
dora. which left the navy yard at 2:3o
o'clock The trial was under the auspices
Of the Holland Company and the Adder was
commanded by Captain Cable who had
charge of the Holland in these waters two
years ago. The exhibition consisted of a
submerged run of ten minutes, at the end
of which time the green, cigar-shaped craft
poked her nose out of the water for mo-
ment for purposes of observation and i'm
mediately dived out of sight again and
made another prolonged run beneath the
surface. Only the flag staff, placed on the
boat for exhibition purposes, was visible,
and except for the ripple created by the
staff as the boat sped along ten feet down
in the channel there was no indication of
the presence Of boat in the river. In war
fare there is, of course, no flag StaH, and
ii is claimed the craft can approach bat
tleship without fear of it's presence being
discovered
At the end Of the submerged run the Ad-
der executed a series of porpoiSe dives.
demonstrating the maneuvering abilities of
the boat. The Quickness with which she
responded to the rudders which control the
diving was most noticeable. The boat bob
bed out of the waters and then down again
in the space Of a very few seconds This
feature of the exhibition was designed to
show the readiness with which the boat
comes to the surface for the purpose of OBJ
serving an enemys vessel, upon sighting
which in actual warfare, she would fire a
torpedo and disappear before the guns of
the epemys ships gould be trained upon
her. After the first run Representative
Cushman. Edwards and Bell went aboard
the Adder and were given several dives and
a rather prolonged submerged run. They
apparently enjoyed the experience immense
ly and declared the submar rne boat to be
almost as comfortable as the big steam
yacht upon which they made the trip down
the river. The party yesterday was in
the Holland Company, who was assisted
in entertaining the guests by Mr.. Frederick
Verdue. also of the company
The Adder is one of the seven boats built
under contract with the. Navy Department
in accordance with acts of Congress. She
is more than sixty-three feet in length and
the greatest diameter is eleven feet nine
inches. The displacement is 120 tons and
on the surface the vessel Is driven by a gas
oline engine. While running submerged
powerful set of storage batteries and an
electric motor provide the propelling force
On the surface the speed Is eight knots,
while submerged seven knots is made.
Several excursion boats down the river
stood by during the exhibition and the
crowds on board them thoroughly enjoy ed
the sight and applauded vigorously when
the Adder came to the surface.

A LIFE-SAVING MEDAL.
Reward to Capt. Mayo for Thrilling
Rescue

Secretary Shaw yesterday transmitted
gold medal to Capt. Elmer F. Mayo of the
life saving service of Massachusetts for
heroism in saving life. With the medal
went a letter, of which the following is a
part:
Il transmit herewith a gold life-saving
medal awarded you under the provisions of
the acts of Congress approved June 20, 1874
and May 4. 1882, in recognition of your
heroism in saving life from the perils of
the sea.
"On Tuesday, March IL. 1902. about
o'clock a m, the schooner barge Wadena
stranded during northeast gale and heavy
sea on Shoyelful shoal, off the southern end
of Monomoy Island, Cape Cod, and her
crew were rescued by the men of the Mono
moy life-saving station. On the night cf
March 16 the weather became threatening,
and all except five of the persons engaged
in lightering the cargo were taken ashore
by the tug Peter Smith, which was in the
employ of the owners of the barge. The
next morning-March 17-Keeper Eldridge
received a telephone message from Hyanns
inquring whether everything was all right
with the men aboard of her.
THE wind was fresh from the southeast,
and there was a heavy sea running, but
the life savers were clearly Of the opinion
that the condition of the Wadena was not
perilous. OF course they could have no
knowledge of what was taking place on
board, and since she had set a signal of
distress there was nothing for them to do
but promptly respond. A line was thrown
on board and made fast by the persons
there, who We're in fever of excitement
and apprehension. Four men lowered them
selves, at time and without mishap,
into the boat by means of a rope, but the
captain, who was heavy, let go his hold
when part way down, and dropped with
such force to break the after thwart,
upon which he landed-an extremely unfor-
tunate incident. All five being safely in the
ward two aft and one amidships under an
imperative admontion to sit quietly and
keep close down in the bottom.
In the difficult movement necessary to
clear the line of breakers extending from
the stern of the vessel and lay good
course for the shore a part of the surf
men were backing hard on the port oars
while the others gave way with full power
on the starboard side but before the turn
could be completed a wave of extraordinary
size struck the boat with tremendous force
and poured a quantity of water into ii. In
stantly the rescued men became panic
stricken and lost all self-control not only
the stability of the boat, but so laying hold
of the surfmen about the neck and shoul-
ders as to preclude the use of the oars with
any considerable degree of effectiveness
"A mighty wave sprung upon them, and
the boat turning over beneath the shock
speedily drifted into the heaviest breakers
Instantly thirteen men We're doomed TO a
terribly unequal struggle for their lives
Twice the life-savers righted the boat only
to find 1T each time tumbled bottom side up
again in the. foam-crested waves that sWept

In all parts Of the country and women doc
tors and surgeons. clergymen and educators are
wondering at the remarkable cures made by Prof.
Thomas A. Adkin, discoverer OF the Adkin Vita
opathic treatment.
Professor Adkin heals not by drugs, by Chris
tian Science, by Osteopathy nor by Hypno-
tsm, by Divine Healing but by a suble psychic
force Of nature in combination with certain vital
magnetic remedies which contain the very ele-
ments Of life and health.
A reporter recently talked with Professor Adkin
and asked to invite all readers Of this paper
who sick who are worried by the ills of
those dear TO them to write to him for assistance
Some people have declared said Professor Ad-
kin. that my powers are Of God: they call me n
Divine Healer-a man Of mysterious powers. This

So great is the sensation wrought in the medical
world by the wonderful performed by Pro-
fessor Adkin that several professional gentlemen
were asked to investigate the cures Among the
gentlemen were DR.. l.. B. Hawley and Dr. L. G.

Possibly the Missing Link.

The announcement made in a journal de-
voted to West African affairs that ex-Cap-
tain Donovan has brought home from the
bush four days march north of Kumasi a
strange animal of the monkey type which
may possibly prove the missing link has
attracted considerable notice. The creature
is described as looking at first sight like
a chimpanZee, but closer examination re-
veals the fact that its chest and belly are
almost white. and but scantily covered with
hair. that it is provided with knee caps and
that 1t has a pronounced chin.
The actions of the new arrival in this
country are said to be horribly human"
and whether it Should prove to be in reali-
ty DarWin's missing link or not. the new
discovery should be. if the reports about it
are true. of great scientific interest. There
is nothing inherently impossible, in Mr..
Donovan's claim that the animal he has
brought home Is what has been so long and
eagerly sought after, but 1t is obviously
impossible to pass an opinion until scien-
tific experts have had an opportunity of
examining the animal and supplying more
detailed information about it. 1t may prove
that the creature is nothing more nor less
than a young gorilla, specimens of which
are extremely rare Mr.. Cross, however,
who has been described as the king of
wild beast merchants" and several Liver
pool scientists are reported to have de-
clared that the animal is unlike any ape
creature previously seen In Europe 1t is
understood that it has been acquired for
the Geological Gardens IN London.

War Office Experiments.

The reawakening of the war office as a
result OF experiences in South Africa has
now extended to the use of motor cars and
to oil engine-propelled small boats in con-
nection with torpedo mines, the laying out
and picking up of targets off coast defense
Batteries. etc. A number of Wolseley mo-
tor cars of ten and twenty-horse power,
capable of running up to fifty miles. are be-
ing constructed. this type having been
adopted as the most reliable after much in
veStigatiOn. The cars are to be used at AL
dershot for dispatch and similar duty, and
are expeced to prove of great utility in ma
EeuverS
The boats built have light oil engines of
twenty-five brake horsepower. fitted with
special gear whereby the reversible blades
of the propeller can be sent backward with
ou. the main engines being stopped, SO as
to change ahead for astern. This opera
ton, effected by a lever at the steering
wheel, enables the boat to be maneuvered
very rapidly. ! may add that petrol launch
es are becoming very popular on the
Thames; indeed. they are as familiar as
motor cars on the streets here. They at

thirty-fve brake horse-pow In some
cases the power is dependent more on the
high revolutions than on size. A petrol
engine of this speed, making seven hundred
revolutions, can be reduced in size a.

kerosene motor of the same power, work

popular; it is not any more costly per mile

Lord Pauncefotes death will occasion
many changes in the diplomatic service
Important transfers were in any case i'm
minent, and the removal of the British am
bassador at Washington will still further
complicate the competition for the big am
bassadorial positions There is no harm in
saying that Lord Pauncefote's appointment
to Washington was not at the time regard
ed with universal approval Those who are
acquainted with the inner workings of the
diplomatic service of the British empire
know that they contain two factions-those
VINO would confine the leaderships of the
great embassies to grand seigneurs'' and
those who contend that the highest places
IN the service should be open to those
whose merits would enable them to work
up from subordinate posts. Lord Paunce-
tote was the son of Worcestershire
squire, who after holding a series of legal
and Judicial appointments secured the
washington appointment through sheer
merit Because, therefore, he made himself
an ambassador and was not born to the
position Lord Pauncefote was objected to
when first his name was proposed as Sack
Vile Vests successor. Lord SALISBURY
however. strongly supported him and he
won out.
Lord Salisbury has on several occasions
resisted the greatest pressure to place tho
leading embassies at the disposal of noble
men with nothing but names to recommend
them. N

Comparing Two Actresses.

London playgoers have now the oppor-
tunity they love SO well, of comparing two
actresses In the same character. These
are Mrs. Lewis Waller, who commenced
her season at the Royalty on Saturday, and
Madame Rejane, who opened short run
at the Imperial last night, both taking the
title role in "Zaza.' Madame Rejane is
the original exponent of the heroine of the
piece, and she undoubtedly gives a magnifi-
cent rendering of the part. The varying
moods and passions OF ZaZa are cleverly
depicted in scenes Of taking comedy and
passionate outbursts. and her performance
was most enthusiastically received 1t is
perhaps unfair to compare Mrs. Waller
with Madame Rejane.s for the part Is so
enthusiastically French to present ex-
ceptional difficulties to an English actress
