The type Of submarine to which the
Porpoise belongs accomplishes lts
diving by maintaining a slight re-

the submerging rudders so that they

depth of the submersion being deter
mined by the angle at which the ruo-

present case, the rudders became
damned, so that they continued 10

Russia and Japan Had in Large Or
ders for Breast Plates,

Rome, Oct. 2.-Some time ago the
Russian government ordered 100000
bullet.proof breastplates of the type
invented by Sir Benedict. The lat
ter recently started for st. Petersburg
to supervise the manufacture of the
breastplates, but was stopped at
Munich by the Italian firm to which
he had sold the rights to manufac'
ture and who objected to Sig. Bene'
detti's Intervention in the matter, and
he returned to Italy.
The firm had also undertaken to
supply the Japanese government with
100000 breastplates. Now, that the
Russian contract has been broken, u
seems that Japan wishes to back gu
of it's engagement, proposing to pa!
losses sustained by the firm through
the abrogation Of the contract.

cuted for. longer time or that more
men and more apparatus were en-
ployed."
1t seems very improbable that
there will be any general improve
ment in the fishery until new methods
of conducting it are adopted and shall
have continued for a number of years.
Uniform protective laws are greatly
needed, and without them the work
of the Commission in lobster cultiya-
ton will have but little effect at this
stage of the decline.
From data collected by the Com
mission it appears that there are at
this time about $4,000 men engaged
in the fishing industry in this coun-
try, of whom $4,000 are fishermen.
The aggregate capital invested is
$76,850,000, of which about one-yaild
represents vessels and boats of all
ing. Squarely in the midle of the
sorts and apparatus of capture. The
value of the catch at first hands, is
estimated at $49,S82, 900, of which the
ocean and coast fisheries represent
$44, 9G4,000.
The ocean fisheries of New Eng
land, which have always been the
most important of their class, have
been in satisfactory condition. At
the two great ports of Gloucester and
Boston the quantity of fish landed by
American fishing vessels in 1902 was
about 168,000,000 pounds, valued at
S4,380,000, an increase of 100000
pounds and $4,000, as compared
with 1901.
The mackerel catch has never since
reached the proportions attained in
the years preceding 1887 although the
report shows it to be now greatly in
excess of the product during the first
half of the present period of unprec-
edented scarcity. Commissioner Bow
ers says the tendency Of late has been
upward, and it is believed that in a
comparatively few years the mackerel
will have again become abundant on
our shores.
Of the culture of cod in the Atlantic
coast the report says the Commits
sion's expectations have been more
than realized. Practical results Of
an unmistakable character were first
manifested in 1889, since which time
a very lucrative shore cod fishery has
been kept up on grounds that were
entirely depleted or that had never
contained cod in noteworthy numbers
in the memory of the oldest inhabi-
tants."
During the last year the Commits
sion has distributed in New England
streams a d lakes great numbers of
land locked salmon, cod, Holsters,
crapple, fatfsh, sea bass, mackereI,
soup and tautog. The cultivation of
the last four named had not been pre-
viousIy carried on to any considerable
extent Experiments with them, as
we'll as with the land locked salmon,
will therefore be closely watched dur
ing the next few years.
