The Submarine Boat.

The French government has expert
mented with no fewer than 16 types
OF submarine boats, yet no entirely
The motor question presents one Of
the chief difficulties. What is wanted
is an apparatus which works equally
we'll under and above water. The
present tendency is to arrange the
larger boats for offensive, the smaller
for defensive purposes, and it is in
tended to increase the former to a
displacement of 500 tons. The extern
sion of the armament from one tor
pedo tube to seven is considered by
some foreign experts a mistake, as no
boat is likely to fire more than two.
While considerable progress has been
made in the art of managing the
boats within the past year, says the
New York Post, the sighting question
still presents serious difficulties, al
though the officers claim to be salts
ted in regard to the facilities for ori-
Antation and aiming. Excessive con-
fidence in the present types of boat
is one of the French faults; it led
last year, among other things. to the
>izerta disaster, by which 12 men lost
their lives. Still, France leads the
world in the construction and manage
hent of submarine boats. England
ranks next. She adheres to the elec-
trio motor, and has reached displace-
ment Of 300 tons in the latest boats.
In Germany, as here, the submarine
boat Is still regarded as a very i'm
perfect instrument of warfare.

pense approximating $216,000. The
total sum expended during the year
was $S23,05S.O2. Although the treas

In his report Sherwood Aldrich,
chairman of the executive committee,
who is also chairman of the water
drainage committee of the Cripple
Creek mine owners, states that the
company's efforts to effect combina-
tion of the mining interests OF the dis
trict in order to drive a deep drainage
tunnel has met with only moderate sue
cess, owing largely to general misun-
derstanding to the effect that only the
Elkton and one or two other proper
ties would be drained. instead OF the
entire district, as is the case. He Is
hopeful, however, of the completion OF
an organization within short time,
and the subscription of sufficient funds
($S00,000) to construct tunnel which
will permit rapid and progressive de-
velopment in all the mines. The re-
mainder OF the report pertains to mat
ters published in the Republican after
