SUBMARINE IN COMMERCIAL PUR.


1T is a matter Of some surprise.
observes the esteemed New York
Tribune. that no serious attempt has
yet been made TO employ submarine
boats in peaceful pursuits. Jules
Verne has indicated the possibility
OF exploring the sea by such means,
but nobody has yet acted IN his hint
1t has also been suggested that the
discomfort of a voyage in an ordinary
steamship might he avoided by re-
sorting to craft that could he slightly
submerged"
We have been informed that there
have been serious and successful nj.
tcnipts made to utilize the Lake sub
marine boat In Il commercial way. 1t
will be recalled that the original Lake
boat, tested OH Old Point in 1898. was
designed for salvage work on sub.
merged wrecks We understand that
the experiment was successful and
that Arsonaut H., on operations in
Long Island Sound paid handsome div
idends on The capital invested in the
ship.
During the development of the war
craft, however, the commercial branch
of this work has been laid aside.

The first mention Of sugar seems to
have been made by Piiny more than
1900 years ago, who traces 1t to Ara
bia and gives the preference to Indian
sugar. which he speaks Of as 'honey
found in canes" Status In his de-
scription Of the Saturnalia says that
among the food which the Emperor
Doinirian made the people ut those
noisy festivals scramble for was
sweet substance obtained from Ara
bian canes. Other classical writers of
about tile same period describe it also
as II kind OF honey found In canes and
not made By bees. Strabo adds that In
a solid state 1t resembles salt The
sugar cane was introduced into Sicily
In 11i3 and soon aftcrward into Spain
Thence sixty years later 1t was taken
to the West Indies, and at tine end Of
the eighteenth century Jamaica alone
produced quite $4,000 tons year.

LAWYERS AIDED BELCHER.
Proper Search Of Titles Would Have Shown
Him Up LOnG Ago.

PATERSON, N. j., Aug. ia semi-publio
meeting Of the Manchester Building and
Loan Association will be held in the gid
hall, Haledon, tomorrow night. The meet
ing Is for the purpose OF considering the
condition Of the association. As far a.
possible detailed statement will be made
of the Belcher stea lings on mortgages held
in the associations name, and it Ia likely
that candidates to All the ONCE OF president,
which the missing Mayor held continuously
for seventeen years, will be named. The
meeting will be an interesting one, mas
much az the board Of directors and the
officers will be asked to tell how it was that
an unbonded officer Of the association had
the handling Of 30 many Of the loans, by
which the association members will be
responsible for loss, II Ia estimated, Of
SIS. 900 or moro.
An interesting phase Of the mortgage end
of Belcher's transactions developed last
week. On three pieces Of his property he
had fourteen mortgages. Nearly all these
mortga ges bear searches by lawyers certi-
flying that the property was unencumbered.
1t is hel d by reputable lawyers that the
certifcation of an attorney as to the non
encumbrance of the property makes him
liable for loss sustained by the mortga gee,
professionally II not legally.
Many OF the attorneys who made searches
for Belcher probably took his word for
everything for some Of them were defrauded
by Belcher through notes. 1t is said also
that where some of the searches showed
encumbranoes against the property such
Indications were erased by the fugitive.
Belcher's Crooketiness in the mortgage
end Of his transactions, in which he used
spurious rubber stamp, has made much
trouble at the County Clerks Office. Bel
chers stamp was square and similar to the
one used in the County Clerks Office pre-
vious to 1897. At the present time round
rubber stamp is being used by the County
Clerk. Hundreds OF persons with square
stamped mortgages have visited the court
house to verify the records.
Lawyer Jacob Vanderclock OF the Pater-
son Savings Institution said to-day that as
long ago as last year Mayor Belcher asked
him to look up all countries where extra
dition treaties were In effect. MIR. Wander
clock prepared list at the time. little think
ing that Belcher wished to have the infor-
nation q hand for contingency.

sented the Yankee Circus on Mars" at

and music by the band. A new feature
Of the circus was the appearance Of a man
in the ring who iDpersonated President
Roosevelt. He steAmed into the island
on launch and was greeted by the
footing OF whistles from the yachts and
the booming Of cannon. He was clad
in Rough Rider uniform and wore glasses
and teeth. A band Of "Huokleberry
Indians escorted him to the ring, and he
said:
Boys, I am dee-lighted to be with you
I hope you'll have a good time. I'd like
to stay to zee the show but I've got to
get back to Oyster Bay and patch 1t up
between nations which are unfortunately

dashed of down the hill. where the launch
was in waiting for him. ~ ...'-'s'-
The clubmen saw the circus from enchee

to the hot weather most Of them wore
bathing suits. The show was presided
by a parade. Capt. Chapman was grand
marshal He wah mounted on wooden
charger. The women riders and jockeys
rode wooden horses with feather busters
for tails.
Clay Greene had been billed to walk the
rope There was great applause when he

The yachtsmen always burlesque Chapman
because he arrested some of them at the

Then the champions went at 1t again:
Bet ween the rounds their seconds rubbed
them with sea weed and squirted seltoer
in their faces. just as the show ended and
the clambake was announced, a thunder
storm broke loose. Some Of the clubmen
who had on bathing suits we're fortunate
enough to get a part of the feast. but in
short time the Holsters were submerged
and the chickens drifted away.
