PORTABLE SUBMARINES.
New War Craft That May Become
Important Factors in Naval
Battles.

Small, compact, handy submarine
torpedo boats, operated wholly by
electricity and convenient to carry on
ships of war may constitute one of
the most important factors in naval
battles of the near future. That is
the plain meaning of the facts which
leak out as to the 17-ton submarine
which has been built with great secrecy
at Wivenhoe, England, as told in a spe-
cial dispatch to the Cleveland Leader.
1t appears that this latest stilleto of
the sea is but "a feet long and about
six feet in diameter. 1t is an uncom-
Portable and stuffy little instrument of
destruction, but only three men are
needed to run the craft, and it can be
carried to the scene of action on the
deck of any large vessel. A battleship
might house several such submarines.
No navy worthy Of the name would ever
lack volunteers for the perilous and hon
orable service which submarines of all
kinds require.
Fleets may go into action in the mari
time wars of the future with the water
swarming with submarine boats, large
and small, so that death-grapples be-
low the surface OF the sea will ba nearly
as numerous and quite as thrilling as
any part of the fighting done above the
water line. Floating steel forts tend to
become greater and more costly. At
the other extreme the latest submarines
are the least in bulk.

PICTURES OF MARTYRDoM
Curious Mingling of Ancient and
Modern Scenes in Coliseum
of Rome.

One of the oldest minglings of the
ancient with the modern is a moving
picture reproduction of the martyrdom
of an early Christian in Rome.
The scene, says the New York Her
aid, first shows the amphitheater, the
galleries filed with the populace,
while Emperor Nero leans forward
from his box, the better to observe the
procession of the martyrs passing over
the yellow sands of the arena.
The pageant concluded, there is a
pause while one of the victims is fas-
tened to a rude cross. The attendants
hurry from the place and immediate
ly live lions appear. These precipi-
tate themselves upon the unfortunate

MISTAKES OF THE PRINTER
Sometimes the Result of Poor "Copy"
or Too Close Adherence
to "Style."

The amusing mistakes that happen
much fun fro the men who set type.
Most of the stuff" that passes through
the hands of printers is written by
men with fair or better educations.
But they are usually poor penmen, and
when matter comes to a printer that
he cannot read he makes stab" at
1t and trusts to the proofreader to
correct mistakes, says the Chicago
Record-Herald.
Perhaps you will remember that
Bryan made a speech on free silver.
AS the climax of his grafton he de-
clared the American people wanted
mo cross of gold, no crown of thorns."
The expression has become historic.
1t was such a striking phrase that a
Chicago paper decided it would make
4 good head over the convention story.
Therefore one Of the headwriters
wrote the head:
mo cross, no crown"
When set, it read: mo COWS, no
cream"
Fortunately, the mistake was dis
covered in time for correction.
In the same Office another printer
made an amusing mistake. He was
putting an article into type for the
dramatic critic. Many Of the words
used by the critic were new ones to
the printer. In discussing the merits
of a certain violinist who was perform
ing at the Auditorium, the critic wrote
a sentence which concluded with the
words, "and the gentleman also lacks
polish"
When a proof was taken Of the type
it read: And the gentleman also
speaks Polish"
All newspapers have what is called
Style" For instance, some papers
bar expressions of horror. Others bar
words that are too long. They have
printed lists of synonyms which print
ers shall substitute for words that are
under the ban. Other papers have a
style as to how two or more syllables
are to be separated in case the word
comes at the end Of line of type.
Some printers stick little too close
to style rules"
4 style rule" in a certain office
cautioned the printers against using
the word balance" The word re
mainder" was substituted. The night
after the rule went into effect a prom
inent citizen fell from a balcony and
was killed The reporter who wrote
the story used the expression: HE
lost his balance and fell to the street"
The printer who got hold of the story
made it appear: He lost his remain
der and fell to the street"

OUR PROBLEM IN PANAMA,
Obstacles Which Confront Those
Who Shall Sever the
Isthmus.

Panama has for years back heard
enough of canal construction. Even
before it was seriously purposed
Spain, England, Colombia and the
United States dreamed of cutting the
isthmus. The French, after their sue
cess at Suez, boldly attacked the prob
lem, and their skill has left us task
partly finished. No blame need attach
to their engineers; we find, writes DR..
Albert B. Hale, in The Reader Maya
zine, that they knew their business
and would have completed the work,
had they not been submerged by the
debauchery of what we to-day call
graft" The first sight to which at
tention is called is not scenery, but
machinery-miles Of it. tons OF it,
abandoned before 1t was used by the
contractors. This belongs to US, and
we may reclaim about half Of it, But
we must avoid the evil of which 1t is
the silent witness. We must be honest
in our contracts. At present there IS
no reason to doubt, our honesty, for
we haven't begun to spend much mon
ey on supplies, and the men at the
head of the business are beyond sus-
picion; but Panama herself Is an apt
pupil, even If she had not inherited
from Spain the tricks Of the politician.
They have commenced to expend their
bonus on such trivialities as a new
coinage that was not needed. To be
sure, it is wise to abolish the Colon
bian silver monkey, or tin money!,
put the practical substitute is Ameri-
can dollars, which find eager accept
ance; yet q national currency meant
a dip into the treasury, and so it was
adopted
And then the toy republic is gaily
establishing an army of office-holders.
Every hamlet has it's alcade and post
master, although it is a mystery what
they can find to do There could hard.
ly be any crime there; saw one po-
liceman arrested for sleeping on duty,
and he had another policeman to
watch him, and they were exchanging
village gossip together. The army has
been discharged, and most of the men
are at work upon the canal, but the/
police corps, patterned after our ma
rines, does good service when needed.
