,JAPAN's NAVY SUBMARINE.
Details of New Boats Built By John
p. Holland.


The two new submarine boats for the
japanese navy which were designed
by John T. Holland of Newark, N. j.,
and built under his direction are not
what are generally known as Holland
submarines, Of which the Russians
have FIVE at VladivostolS and the Japa-
nese several at NagasalSi, but are en-
tirely new creations, vastly improved,
capable Of double the speed of the old
style of boats and equipped with an
instrument which, it is declared, makes
submarine vision as accurate as that
in the open air says the New York
Herald.
Mr.. Holland declares emphatically
that the submarines which bear his
name are not built according to his
plan at all, but from plans which be.
condemned years ago after testing.
them and finding them to be so faulty.
as TO be practically useless.
His new boats, says the inventor, are
seventy-fve and eighty-seven feet long
respectively and of seven feet eight
draft. Each has an indicated horse
power of 800, one torpedo tube and is
capable of travelling sixteen knots an
hour under water and fifteen above
= water.
''When I built the first Holland boat
It had an engine of forty-five horse
power and a speed Of nine knots sub
merged" said Mr.. Holland "Then i
built another model and tested it in the
navy department tank In Washington.
/ found 1t such a fat unqualified fail
ure that I abandoned it.
"The young lawyer who acted as en-
gineer Of the Holland company, acting
upon advice Of some misguided naval
officer who knew even less of subma-
rines than he did, insisted upon using
the plans l had condemned, and the so
called Holland boat Of today Is the re-
suit 1t, like all other submarines built
to date is clumsy, cumbersome and
practically useless for any purpose.
They lack the necessary speed and,
what is worse are n source of danger
to those manning them, for with the
sighting appliances in use it is impos-
sble TO judge distances correctly.
Il have with the aid Of an opticlan
solved the simple problem of seeing
correctly under water. and this, with
the increased speed Of my new boat,
should make it an important factor in
warfare. / am preparing plans now for
the construction Of n submarine Of
$500 horsepower which should travel
fully twenty-five knots an hour. The
future submarine will take the place
OF the torpedo boat. Even the two
which are about to so into service are
capable of outspeeding any feet as a
unit"

nature Of the instrument by which op-
orators of bis new style boats are ena-
bled TO see accurately under water nor

such a very unpleasant double possi-
Dility had not crossed the mind of any
one except the Knight Harold who was
sent TO search for the damsel.
Now. Harold felt convinced that the
damsel Of the ringlets must heve died
long years before. "But," he said to
himself consolingly, "there must be
plenty Of other maids that look enough
like her"
Many days passed by after Harodd's
departure, and the days became months
before any word was heard from the
knight.
Idealo began to despair Of Harolds
return and had almost decided to start
forth himself TO find the damsel. when,

New York's East Side.

Several east side landlords in New
York have followed the example of
Mr.. Russ, who raises the rent Of
each tenant so cents a month when
ever the latter has an addition to
his family. Many families who have
refused to pay the tax on children
are being dispossessed, and many
are finding it difficult to secure
homes. DR.. David Blaustein of the
Educational alliance says that
"aristocratic" sideas are creeping
into the east side. The people down
there are beginning to look upon
children as a curse rather than a
blessing. They have learned this,
DR.. Blaustein says, from what they
have seen and heard Of the wealthier
districts uptown.

n fair young maiden.
The young prince took the miniature
and gazed into the eyes Of the un-

seemed ready TO open daintily in the
merriest laughter as she smiled at
him from the jeweled frame.
"Who is this damselT inquired the
prince eagerly Of his courtiers. But no

mother, whore she stood apart from
her waiting women.

sadly. All that she knew was that the
iron chests containing the treasure had
lain in the subterranean vaults for a
hundred years.

his throne.
"Never mindw he cried excitedly. 81

which the treasure chests came, and l
will find the beautiful maiden. for I
am sure If / can meet the damsel

At these words there was a hush
upon all the assembled court. for to all
Of his subjects the most important
thing in the world was that Idealo
should smile.
The queen mother thereupon stepped
forward and said:
my prince. you must not attempt
the journey TO the distant land whence
the treasure chest was brought. Send
instead l implore you, the trusty
Knight Harold. He viii undertake the
