A Portable Submarine.

The English admiralty is greatly in
terested, says Golfers, in a portable
submarine built at Il private yard in
England. The boat is named the Volta
and is OF cigar shape, thirty-six feet in
length and of six feet nine inches beam
at the point of greatest diameter. The
total weight is twenty tons, SO that she
can be readily lifted and lowered from
the deck of battleship by a power
crane. The motive power is electricity
both at the surface and when sub
merged, and the batteries and motors
are of such capacity that maximum
speed of about eight miles an hour can
be made. The new submarine will re-
quire a crew of only three men and as
a means of offense will have two torpe-
does, one on either side, so arranged
that they can be readily detached and
discharged by suitable mechanism.

All Gone from Dandruff, Which i
Caused BY a Germ.

Split hair, hard hair, lusterless hair,

origin to dandruff which is caused by
a mcasly little microbe that burrows
into the scalp, throwing up the cuticle
into dandruff scales and sapping the
vitality of the hair at the root caus-
ing the several diseased conditions of

science has discovered a remedy to

Fifteen years ago the highest dam
in existence was the Furens dam In

dams have been built in the United
States. These are the Croton dam in
New York, the Clinton waterworks

the South Platte river.
Each of these ut present holds the
record in one respect or another. The
Denver dam is the highest in the world.
the Clinton impounds the largest
amount of water. and the Croton dam
contains the largest mass of masonry,
but the Salt river dam, now being built
in Arizona by the United States gov
