It's Inventor Expects to Explore
Florida swamp In Novel Craft.
Destined for service both on land and
water, the much discussed automobile
yacht will soon be prepared to make
its journey to the south, says the New
York Herald. As far as both marine
and terrestrial architecture are con-
cerned the amphibious craft is not
thing to delight the eye, for it has lines
which have never been considered
beautiful.
Its inventor, Anton Schmidt, cabi-
net maker of Newark, N. j.. who built
It, says that he is sure that it will do
all that is required Of it either in the
water or on Cry land and that soon he
will make his arrangements to go to
Florida. where he has been invited to
explore a swamp. Near Ocala. he has

TO IMPROVE SUBMARINES.
Englishman's Device Enables Them
to Travel Great Distances.


to Travel Great Distances.
A remarkable invention has been
adopted by the British admiralty, the
effect of which is to increase the eff
cheney of British submarines, says
London cable dispatch to the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
At present the radius of submarine
attack is restricted owing to the diff
culties of ventilation and the carrying
of fuel, but experiments warrant the
belief that the new submarines will be
able to travel immense distances, with
disastrous effects on the ports of an en-
envy.
The existing submarine feet of Brit
ain is not, however, rendered obsolete.
On the contrary, 1t can easily be adapt
ed to utilize the new discovery.
The inventor is British officer well
known for his brilliant capabilities
The most remarkable feature in his de
sign is its extreme simplicity. Details
of the invention are of course withheld
by the admiralty.
