said the woman, Emma only does
these things for the praise she gets.
She is wearing herself out working for
fairs. bazars, church teas. receptions,
and such things. because people tell her
how smart she is. and how cleverly she
manages. She needs rest a lot more

Yet this is what is happening around
us every day. We ourselves can prob
ably plead guilty. We cannot be suf-

home. and SO manage our financial af-
fairs that we can afford a generous
contribution of money. No. that does
not always attract attention enough.

A NOVEL SUBMARINE
THE INVENTION OF SIMEON
LAKE OF BALTIMORE.
He Claims for It Many Advantage,
Over Other Underwater Craft
Some of Its Peculiar
Features.

The fact that two small submarines OF
the Lynx type have been sent to the far
east on q French battleship is sufi-
cient indication that, should France be
drawn into war, she will make use OF her
underwater flotilla. Japan has no sub
marine boats, but Russia has one. at
least. of a new type-the Petr Kochka-
completed, which could be sent out 10
sections to the Pacific Possibly she alst'
possess some of the Goubet type.
The illustration accompanying this
article represent the Protector. an en-
tirely novel type Of American subma-
rine, which differs very greatly from
che boats belonging to the British,
French or our own govern ent. She
has been built as private speculation
by Mr.. Simon Lake, of Baltimore, who
is now in Europe. and hopes to induce
the admiralties there to give his boat
a trial. The Protector is 65 feet long by
II foot beam. and displaces lis tons. On
The surface she is driven by 250-horse
power petrol motor, actuating twin
screws, and is submerged by an electric
motor of IS horse power. She is fitted
with three torpedo tubes, has speed OF
about IA knots on the surface and eight
and nine-tenths knots below. and has
divers compartment. by which divers
can leave and enter the vessel while sub
merged.
Mr.. Lake has built two submarines
fitted with wheels whereby they roll
along the ocean floor. The first is in

ran. occasion the floor
of the house may well become the
arena for dramatic scores equal in in
tensity and interest to any OF the great
days which once made the popular
branch Of congress the center OF attrac-
ion for those who throng the capitol.
Bourke Cochran, of course. is giant
among popular orators. 1t is doubtful
whether in all American history there
has been any man who could exceed
him as an overpowering oratorical per-
sonality before a popular assembly. He
is big of body. big of head. big of
voice, big in magnetism, with a genius
for pharse-making and a wealth OF in
vective with which no man of the pres
emit generation can compete.
1t is doubtful whether In all the his
tory Of American politics there has
been a more impressive oratorical tri-
umph than that which Cochran won in
the Democratic convention OF 1892 at
Chicago. In that year Cochran attend
ed the convention as member OF the
Tammany delegation from New York
who were bent upon defeating the NOM
nation Of Grover Cleveland. and who
united in q written appeal to the dele
gates from other states against Cleve-
lands nomination on the ground that
it would surely involve the loss OF the
Empire state to the democratic party.
The convention was in continuous ses-
sion in the great wigwam for hours
during the day and far into the night.
The rain beat upon the roof. the great
crowd Of 10000 people surged and
howled and altogether it vas an uaruly
mob. The sentiment for Cleveland was
dominant and the democratic managers
under the lead of William c. Whitney
had completed the arrangements fol
his nomination. For hours the most
effective orators In the party had been
appealing from the platform. some in
favor OF Cleveland. others against him
but no matter who they were or whom
they favored they were drowned in the
fury OF the crowd. Their oratory was
q voiceless pantomime. Then at three
o'clock in the morning Cochran rose
and plowed forward to q place on the
platform He had not been speaking
two minutes before he had the greas
auditorium silent under the spell Of hi
eloquence and he held q hostile audi
ence there for m hour, while he mar
shalled argument after argumen

again he dominated his audience by
the force of his overwhelming person.
Atty and while he held them under the
spell Of his eloQuence seemed to be
carrying everything by storm. He
reused cheers Of frenzied enthusiasm
from his democratic associates and
from the galleries: and even those on
the republican side OF the house could
hardly restrain themselves from ex-
preasions Of involuntary approval.
The glamour Of Z dramatic occasion
disappeared in the cold gray dawn of

tended for peaceful operations. and is
named the Argonaut; the second. which
is armed with torpedoes, is the Pro-
tector. Mr.. Lake believes that under
water vessels have very useful future
before them, both from peaceful and
from a warlike point OF view, and al
ready his submarine wrecking boat Ar
gonaut has performed valuable service
in wreck-raising, recovering coal from
sunken barges, and in similar opera
lions.
Mr.. Lake commenced the study Of SUBJ
marine navigation nearly 20 years ago.
and he claims that he has travelled
greater distances under water than any
other builder on either side Of the At
lantic. The first practical and success
full boat built by Mr.. Lake was the Ar
gonaut, and she has proved the practi-
cability of this type Of vessel for com
mercial purposes. She can remain for
DAYS under the surface: she can steer az
correct courses as on the surface; She
affords the crew the same comfort as
when ON the surface. with ample sleep
ing, cooking facilities. and she has
means of enabling divers to enter and
leave the hull through an open door
through which no water can possibly
enter.
The main feature that distinguishes
the Lake" type of submarine is the
power of travelling on the floor Of the
ocean. For this purpose they are fitted
with wheels, and when on the bottom
they run along the sea bed. just as car
rage rolls along highroad. They also
differ from the diving torpedo boats" Of
the Holland type in the British and
American navies, in that they go under
on an even keel. The Lake boats need
not always run on the ocean bed, but
can be navigated at any predetermined
depth between the surface and the bot
tom. In this position the depth Of sub
mergence Is maintained nearly con-
slant by means of hydroplanes. one OF
more on each side of the vessel. These
hydroplanes. or horizontal ruders. arr
controlled automatically, and the boa
in submerging always maintains leve
keel. The method Of submersion by thu
side vanes. or hydroplanes. is as follows:
Water ballast Is taken In to bring thu
boat to the "awash" condition. The
vanes are then turned downwards. ant
the water flowing against the upper por
ton OF the planes. forces the structure
beneath the surface until the required
depth is reached. when the automatic
depth regulator" causes the vanes tt
oscillate as required to constantly ma!n
| tain that depth.

The growing of alfalfa is receiving
marked and increasing attention in all
the states east of the Missouri river.
Most of the work being done is expert
mental, small patches tried on different
soils and locations Enough success
has rewarded these efforts so that the
good work will be more and more ex-
tended. 1t seems to be definitely set
tied that the failures are more trace
able to the soil not being properly in
oculated with the bacterial life essen
tial to the development and health Of
the plant than any other thing, Alfal-
ia is such a needed factor in the food
ration of the corn belt region that no
effort to secure 1t should be left I'M
done. A ten acre field of alfalfa on any
160 acre farm would enable the owner
to perfectly balance all the rations fed
his stock from the hen to the horse.
There is no one thing which is so well
worth experimenting with as alfalfa.
