A Maine Fish Planter.

A novelty OF some interest has been
invented by Superintendent Floyd of the
Sebago lake hatchery which has proven
itself extremely practical and economical
In the cost of transporting the two-year-
old salmon from the hatchery to points
about Sebago lake. 1t has been the Gus
tom at the hatchery TO keep as many
salmon as possible antil two years old
in order that they may be able TO pro
tect themselves from euSk and other
large fish. The ordinary fish cans were
TOO small. holding but few each, and
it was expensive to thus transport them.
Superintendent Floyd has constructed a
big fish ear. after the style of the old
Rangeley fish cars, to be dragged after
the launch. 1t is 10 feet long, feet
vide and SIS feet deep, water tighr
on front and bottom, with rear end
rate. Plank wings Ly inches balance
the car. which is Of sufficient huoyancy
Is support two men. From this ear
- 900 salmon were distributed one day
rceently. which was formerly a busy

LONE FARMER In AFRICA.
A German Pioneer Tells of Chances
North OF the Zambesi.

\ German farmer named III. G.. Koch
has been tilling tile soil for four years
about 100 miles north Of the Zambesi
river in central Africa. No other farmer
lives within fifty miles Of him.
There are not twenty European farm
ers in the whole of northwest Rhodesia,
q country four times as large as tAe state
Of New York. Koch is pioneer.
He lieks the soil and the climate and Is
there to stay. Ills farm is as near the
equator as the north part of central
A.nerica, but it stands 4000 feet above
tie sea and the heat is less oppressive
than in many more southern regions
a few weeks ago Koch talked to a con-
yention of farmers in southern Rhodesia.
They We're interested in his story, for he
IS the first man competent TO give valu-
able testimony ON the farming conditions
beyond the Zambesi
He told them he had settled on the sur
veyed line of the Cape to Cairo railroad.
for he knew he could sell his produce
when the railroad reached him. Taking in
wagon and a few head of livestock he
roamed northward, following the stakes
OF the surveyors, till he reached region
that exactly suited him. There he built
/ a little shack and began to use the plough
adm other farming implements he had
brought in his wagon.
Koch says that the best plough land IN
the colony is a rich, deep black loan,
found in the valleys and III patches of
from 100 to 1000 acres all through the
country. 1t grows the finest corn he ever
! saw.
Then a gray sandy loan is well adapt
ed fer the cultivation of tobacco: cotton
and potatoes. All crops with proper
cultivation grow splendidly. Garden
truck can be raised the year round. and
he is raising wheat in winter with sue
cess.
A third kind of soil is suitable only for
pasture. Grass grows in abundance, cat
tie keep in good condition the year round
and the climate at that high altitude is
mild and pleasant.
Koch't faith has been justified. The
Cape to Cairo railroad has been built 100
miles beyond his Goor The little station
of kalomo has sprung Up near his farm.
, lie has q market for all he can raise.
He pays native laborers from S1.25 to
$3.50 a month, and thinks his men COM
pare fayerably with black labor in Cape
Colony. He has no doubt. now that the
railroad has been completed to the
Broden Hill copper mines. that more
farmers will come into the region.-New

NAVAL SUBMARINES.
Rapid Development of This Engine Of
War in Twenty-one Years.

The first steps toward the practical
adoption of submarines in modern fleets
were taken In France The Gymnote of
1886 was the earliest example. She vas
about sixty feet hong and weighed about
thirty tons. When submerged she had
d speed of six knots, and at the surface
rather more She was propelled by cleo
trio motors current for which was sup
piled by storage batteries.
This vessel was followed by the Gus
tave Xede In 1891, vessel 14S feet IN
length, weighing 265 tons, and having q
speed Of eleven knots ut the surface nnd
eight knots under water. Considerable
difficulties arose on the trials and several
years were occupied in overcoming them.
Ultimately success was attained, and the
experience gained helped forward the
rapid development Of submarines III tue
French navy that followed upon the
Faahoda incident in 1903. France pos
sesstd twD completed submarines at that
time and another was binding. On
March ST. 1907, the completed sub
marines Of that country numbered forty
ana there were tifty-nine others building.
The largest vessels yet laid down IN
France are about 200 feet long, weigh
800 ions, have engines of 1IOO-horsep0w-
cr, are to attain a speed of fifteen knots,
carry six or seven torpedo tubes and VIII
cost fl00,000 each.
simultaneously with the movement in
France attention was directed IN the
United States % the performances OF
submarines built hy Holland. In 1906
after twenty-one years continuous work
the Plunger was laid down from Hol-
lands designs under contract with the
navy department, She was eghty-iive
feet long, weighed i61 tons and was pro-
PEELED az the surface by steam engines,
oil fuel being used in the boilers. This
mode of propulsion proved unsatis-
factory Another Holland submarine,
subsequently purchased for the United
States navy. was fitted with u gasoline
engine for surface propulsion and electric
motors for use when submerged. This
boat was about tifty-four feet long and
weighed seventystive tons. She proved
successful OH trial. In March last the
United States navy possessed eight com
pieted vessels of the Holland type, while
four more were building. A rival type
