PERILs OF THE SUBMARINE
Form of Naval Service That Is At tended with Frightful
 Dangers.

The narrow escape of the crew of the submarine boat Porpoise from 8 terrible death during some recent practice off Breton's reef again brings forcibly to mind the great perils which attend submarine work As far as can be learned, says the Scientific American, 1t seems that the Porpoise, in charge of two lieutenants and eight men. took a position off the lightship, and there submerged, intending to make a run at the depth of 20 feet. The type of submarine to which the Porpoise belongs accomplishes it's diving by maintaining a slight re- serve of buOyancy, and then setting the submerging rudders so that they carry the boat beneath the water. the depth of the, submersion being deter mined by the angle at which the rud- ders are set. It seems that, in the present case, the rudders became damned, so that they continued to carry the vessel down until she rested on the bottom at a depth, according to press reports, of 120 feet. To raise the vessel, an attempt was made to blow out the water-tanks; but, of course, at this depth the water press ure tending to crush the Porpoise was considerably greater than that which sheswas designed to stand. amounting to 52 pounds to the square inch, or about three and three-fourths tons to the square fsot. It seems that when the valves of the trimming tanks were opened in the endeavor to ex- pei the water from the tanks, it was found that they would not operate. Moreover, the enormous crushing pressure upon the boat started leaks. and the water began to come in through the seams of the plating and around the joints of the torpedo tube. In this emergency, which was about as terrible as could be imagined.

PEARY's ARCTIC SHIP.
Three Masted Schooner Designed to
 Overcome Ice Perfls.

Three Masted Schooner Designed to
 Overcome Ice Pert1s.
 The new Peary arctic ship is to be Il ''bald headed three masted schooner that is, three master without top masts. with rather limited sail area, but with powerful engines, says q Bangor (de.) special dispatch.
 The vessel will have a very strong frame Of Virginia oak, with ceiling and plankfng of yellow pine. She is to be 1S0 feet long on top, 1894 feet on the load waterline, 35 feet beam, IT feet depth of hold and 16 feet 9 inches draft, ready for sea with 600 tons of coal in her bunkers. The bottom will be double planked, and she will be strongly reinforced at bow and stern by masses of oak timber, while the hull at the waterline will be sheathed with steel half an inch thick amidships and one inch at bow and stern. Her model will be such that the ice pressure will lift instead of pinching her.
 The ship will be provided with en- zines of the compound condensing type, capable of developing 1000 horse power under natural draught and 1, 400 under forced draft. Her displace- ment will be 1900 tons; net register, 800.
 The propeller will be two bladed, which type is better designed for arctic voyaging than the three or four bladed kind. The ship will not be fast, but will have a great cruising radius at fair speed.

 It is supposed that the trouble vnx due to the fact that the boat had not been overhauled for cleaning for near ly 12 months, and that consequently. the sea cocks had become choked> The terrible plight in which the crew found themselves brings to mind the recent accident in the British fleet when submarine was run down and lost with it's entire crew. If the ac- cident proves to have been due to negligence in the upkeep of the hoat of course there will be nothing in the incident to shake the faith of those who believe in the submarine as such. On the other hand, the incident serves to illustrate the special perila that attend this form of naval serxs ice, unless 1t be conducted with ex4 treme caution and unremitting watchA fulness.

no deeper sense of duty. He is inca pablo of deep hatred, and have never heard one of them threaten or bully Japanese prisoner. He returns from an unsuccessful attack with smile on his face, and smilingly he admits that he has been defeated once more, adding: 'Nitschewo (that does not matter).

 "One cannot help loving him, and he makes friends everywhere
 Should Russia come out of this war victorious, as she undoubtedly will, the honor will not belong to her officers, but to her private soldiers. I do not hesitate to say that the plain Russian. soldier, once placed in position, would fight better if the officers would leave the defensive fighting to him without interfering. He needs to be spurred on to an attack, but when on the de- fensive he will not give an inch. A soldier of this kind would be able to serve far greater tasks when led by intelligent officers. His courage would never fail. Only the leaders have fail ed and will continue to fail as long as not all Russian officers have become gentlemen; then the Russian armies shall be invincible. 1"

THROUGH THE FOREST
WHAT MAY BE SEEN ON 4
 SUMMER DAY.
Flowers and Trees and Animals Are Interesting to the Mature Student How to Study Them to the
 Best Advantage.

Recently I walked through B forest It was one of those hot days when there is no breeze stirring, and when all the birds, save the red-eyed vireo and the indigo bunting, are sitting silent in the depths of the woods The most no- ticeable sounds were those of the crick- cts in the grass, the droWsy thrilling of cicadas, and the occasional peep of hyla from the foliage of the trees The coloring of the wild flowers had a strong suggestion of autumn, for the goldenrod was at its best, and mingling with 1t were trumpet weed, boneset. and great masses of pearIy everlasting. All the shrubs along the roadside were hung with garlands of wild clematis. and along the borders of the forest itself even the darkest spots were lighted by great clumps of the white wood asters
 As I entered the woods, the first living creature to catch my eye was chipmunk, looking bright and cheerful in spite of the heat. He did not seem in the least afraid, and he was munch- ing briskly at some blueberries which he had brought from distance in his cheek pouches. What impressed me most at the moment, perhaps, was the spotless condition of his fur. Here was little animal which lived in a hole in the ground, grubbed in the soil every day, and which at this season lived chiefly on berries whose juice dyed the hands of every man who picks them. Yet, on that shining coat before me, there was neither mud. nor dust nor stain of any kind. No race horse, Fresh from the hands of a care- fnl groom, has sleeker coat than this. And so 1t is with most wild things; it seems that they might touch even pitch without being defiled. Watch a musk rat, delving in the muddy bank of a stream, and then note the brightness of his glistening brown coat as he sits on a stone by the water to wash his face. NO man can work, in mud and dirt, and keep his clothes so clean"
 Soon I struck an old forest trail, faintly marked by trees blazed years ago. The marks of the hatchet, once

FAIRBANKS AS cAMPAlGNER.

A Tribute to the Senator's Ability Tt
 Public Speaking.
 Before heard Senator Fairbanks talk on his recent West Virginia tour had no conception of his remarkable cleverness as a p1s5lic speaker said Louis Garthe to a reporter of the Washington Post. His speeches were in the nature of a revelation. The sen ator is indeed entitled to a high place as campafgner, and the short talks he made to the people from the rear end of his train were models That they made happy impression on his hearers everywhere was easily appar- ent, He has wonderful facility, too, for epigrammatic utterances. At Har- pers Ferry he spoke of the disappear ance of the old John Brown fort and likewise of the disappearance of all bitterness between the north and south, sentiment that awakened tre- mendous enthusiasm. Besides his con else, forcible English Senator Fair banks has tact. He never vilifies his opponents, but always alludes to them as our Democratic friends and gives them credit for the sincerity of their convictions.
 Finally it can be said truthfully of the Indianian that people who imagine him cold blooded, callous man, with no tinge of sentiment in his makeup, are woeful1y mistaken. He is not only kindly disposed to his fellow man, but also one of the best mixers I ever saw. If he had five minutes to stop at an obscure station he talked for only two minutes and devoted. the rest of the time to handshalxing and personal greetingso

white and prominent, were now almost grown over with bark, or so weather stained as to be almost invisible ex- cept when close at hand. The narrow path was overgrown with ferns, but here and there bruised or broken frond showed that the wild things used 1t still. All around, the trees grew close together, and the light was dim, but now and then there was an open space, where the sunshine filtered through, and glorif1ed the messy rocks and the fungus-covered trunks of fal- len trees.
 was crossing such an open space when saw, lying on bed of pine needles in the shade before me, white-tailed deer whose warm red coat was hecked with brighter red, where spots of sunlight danced across 1t. It was a buck with well-groWn antlers still in the velvet, and he was looking full at me with head raised and ears stlaight out on either side. felt that If took another step after he knew that his presence was known he would dash away through the trees, so, pretending not to see him, sank slowly to the ground. Then, putting my back to the trunk of a tree, I turned my face slowly toward him. His large dark eyes were full upon me, and his well-shaped translucent ears moved slightly from time to time, as though searching the air for any sound which might be in the nature of a warning. There was no wind, so the large black nostrils were dilated in vain, but h this case neither the nose nor the ears were needed, for was in full view, and the eyes were getting all the information there was to be had
 I knew that, in less than a month, this mild-eyed dweller of the forest, now resting so gently in his peaceful tree-walled home, would be fleeing over the country side-an outlaw with price upon his head. knew that ev- cry man who saw those splendid ant lers would covet them, and that the shoulder, where now great Timber mus cles played beneath the skin, would be the target for a score of bullets. Per haps he would escape them allsmall chance, hut still perhaps and live. to be pursued again next year. Probably he would be hit, and, if so, hoped that it might be by marksman, with bullet through the heart or lungs, when death would quickly come to his relief.
 I raised my hand, and the 1.-the crea- ture before me sprang to his feet, snorted, stamped, and with his broad white tail in the air, 1eaped away among the trees.

There were forty couples, the costumes rep resenting characters such as Little Lord Fauntleroy, Baby Bunting, etc, and the favors were articles dear to children books and dolls and toys.

CALL FOR CAUCUS TONIGHT
Conference, If It IL Held, Likely to Set
tie Smiths Fate as Senatorial
Candidate.
Especial to The washington Times.)

STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS Md,
Feb. 3.-Isidor Rayner received thirty
seven votes this morning in the ballot
ing for United States Senator before
the Maryland Legislature, to thirty for
John Walter Smith.
The surprise of the session was the
vote cast by Delegate Downs. Of Anne
Arundel, for Rayner.
Considered Stanch Smith Man.
He had been regarded as one OF
Smiths stanchest supporters. The del
egates from Somerset who had been
supporting Miles and left him yesterday
for Jackson, voted for Jackson again
today. This probably indicates that
Miles is permanently out Of the fights
The full vote was: Rayner. 81 Smith.
80; Carter. 3; Jackson. s; McComas, 80.
Call for a Caucus.
A call for a caucus is being circulated.
and it will probably be. held tonight.
There are rumors that the Carter vote
VIII be thrown for Smith. but even then
Smith cannot be made the caucus nom
inee without the help OF the Jackson
forces.
The situation is becoming more
strained all the time. and tonights con-
ference is likely to settle Smiths fate.
If he cannot win tonight, It is almost
certain that Rayner will eventually.
