more homogeneous in character than
Frances, the British admiralty hav-
ing practically adopted the Holland
type. 1t has also been constructing
submarines OF 500 tons, believed to be
the largest that any nation has at
tempted.
Germany has recently begun the
construction of submarines with great
zeal and plans to develop consider
able feet OF the craft, while both Italy
and Austria are beginning to acquire
them. Little has been known of the
naval activity of Russia and Japan
since the war, but each nation Is be-
lieved to be building them in its own
yards.
Six of the eight submarines of the
American navy are practically identi-
cal in size and type, being of 100 tons
each. They are the Adder, Grampus,
Moccasin, Pike, Porpoise and Shark
The Holland is older and smaller, be-
ing the original one of the modern
submarines to be adopted in our navy,
while the Plunger is identical with the
others in practically every respect
save that it is slightly heavier. The
cost of each, except the Holland, was
$4,000.
Those now building at Fore River
the Octopus, Viper, Cutie Fish and
Tarantula-are larger than the earlier
ones and show many devices not in
cluded in them. The Octopus, though
details concerning it have been care
fully guarded, is known to be of about
300 tons.
Some light has been thrown on the
possibilities of the coming contest by

to the bottom did the same thing for
the submarine, and there it still rests,
tomb of iron for the nine intrepid
men who formed her crew.
Before she was employed against
the Housatonic several crews had lost
their lives in experimenting with her,
and this has been used by advocates
of the submarine as proof that in time
of need men will always be found
ready to risk the dangers of the tickle
craft This has been still further DEM
onstrated by the ability to secure
crews for submarines in spite of the
disasters which have befallen boats of
that type in the French and other
European navies during the past few
years.
Since the days Of the crude subma.
rine of the civil war the development
of the submarine has been marvellous,
but most of it has been based on the
introduction of the gasoline engine,
thus providing a practical motive pow
err for the conditions that must be
met The modern submarine, there
fore, owes its standing to the same
thing that has created automobiles as
an important factor OF civilization and
has made the perfection of the aero
plane appear to be among the posi-
bilities of the near future.

Trained Too Well.

In Baltimore the rule of the trans
portation companies is that children
over the age of five years must pay
full fare, those under that age being
carried free.
One afternoon not long ago there
were among the passengers on a
Charles street car woman and her
son, the latter big boy of apparently
seven years, but who was held in his
mothers lap as If he were baby.
Presently the lad grew FESTIVE.
"Mommer, mommer," he murmured.
Say, mommer!"
The mother, with premonition of
impending danger, tried to silence the
youngster, but to no avail, for he con-
tiaued to call upon his "mommer."
Finally, the woman asked: "Well,
what is it, SOM"
"Mommer, when do l say I'm only
five?" asked the irrepressible.
