Newport during the past summer, the
Porpoise and Shark being used for
the purpose The officers in charge
have RETAINED from making public the
results of the experiments, but 1t is
known that each has made over 500
miles with gasoline engines under con
ditions that rendered this notable.
They have also accomplished more in
maneuyers under water than had here
toforo been attempted and the sub
marine department of the navy IS be
lieyed to have been materially
strengthened by the knowledge gained
during the past year.
Varying Methods Used,
10 tho landsman there would seem
small difference in submarines. The
general principle OF all is the same.
When ready to go under the surface
they are made almost as heavy as the
surrounding water by admitting water
10 the ballast tanks and then dropping
below the surface either by diving,
through the movement of the boat and
the use of the horizontal rudder or on
an even keel by further admission of
water.
In the methods employed however.
there are differences between the Hol-
land and Lake types which are radi-
cal in their effect ON the efficiency OF
the craft. and friends OF the Lake boat

Chicago.-That ones best friend is
at times likely to be his ruination is
no better exemplifed than In my own
case, wherein, while hunting in Brit
ish Columbia, with no other compan-
ion than my faithful dog, came near
er to losing my life than ever before
or since, says a writer, | was in camp
with some of my friends near the lit
tie town of Moyle, and on the shore OF
the lake of the same name. One sell
dom finds so perfect a spot for all
kinds of wild game, and, at the same
time, the waters are inhabited by the
gamest fish that ever angler trolled
for.
One bright afternoon with my dog
| went some distance in small Indian
canoe and anchored at point where
instinct told me schools of pickerel
might gather.
| threw out two lines, and, picking
up the anchor, began to troll up and
down the little bayou, but without any
startling results. ! was convinced
there were plenty of fish in this part
of the lake and could not understand
why they did not connect with my
lines. Soon patience ceased to be a
virtue. My canine companion, always
with his eyes on the "bobber," seemed
tired also Of watching the corks diring
the small waves, but never disappear
ing quickly, as the true fisherman
likes to have them fade out OF view.
| hauled in my lines and rowed the
/ canoe back to the camp.
1t would be more than an hour be-
fore the other members of the camp
ing party would return, and | much
disliked to quit for the afternoon with
out even a single trophy, so | hit upon
another and entirely different plan. |
/ decided to force things.
! | had often heard of exploding
tticks of dynamite in the water as a
means of catching large quantities of
fish in a short time, and no sooner had
the idea occurred TO me than | was off
for the town to equip myself with
enough dynamite for the experiment.
| secured several large sticks and
FASTENED back to the canoe to begin
operations. To each stick of the eX-

Uore 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 fleet 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, bu: 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 12O tons
each. They are the Adder, Grampus,
Moccasin, Pike, Pa-poise 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.

length from where he held the fuse
in his teeth.
The fuse was burning with great
rapidity, the dog insisted on keeping
up with me, and terrible explosion
was imminent. Suddenly, with great
presence of mind, picked up the stick
of wood and threw it toward the lake
in the hope that the dog would drop
the fuse and dynamite and go after
the wood. Sure enough, this is just
what he did, but the moment he
dropped the fuse, and just as he was

Japanese Watch Closely.

On one OF the preliminary trials Of
the submarines the japanese officers
chartered a yacht and followed the
little boats until finally the American
officials asked them TO desi5t. This re-
suited in calling the affair to the at
tention OF tho higher authorities at
Washington, and II came to public at.
tention when President Roosevelt Is.
sued an order granting the Japanese
permission to observe unhindcrcd
anything In the way of construction
which they desired at the yard.
From this 1t Is inferred that the
Japanese officials, as we'll as some
from other nations. may be on hand
during the tests In Narragansett bay
so gain as much information AS they
can In regard to the probable addition
60 the United States navy. That such
observation will not be welcomed Is
evident from the attitude OF the naval
officials In the Fore River case, and
from tho cloud OF secrecy and mystery
which they have attempted to throw
over the preparations for the tcsts.

Had Washington's Approval.

Washington, and a turtle-shaped boat
holding air enough to permit the sim
gle operator to remain under water
half an hour was built. The operator
succeeded in getting under the bot
toms of several of the British vessels,
but found them copper sheathed,
which prevented the attaching of the
torpedoes with a screw as had been
the plan. II was the primitive char
acter of the torpedoes available, there
fore, rather than the limitations OF the
boat itself, which caused the enter
prise to fail.
During the civil war a submarine
constructed by an Indiana shoemaker
was employed by the confederates in
Charleston harbor, and they succeeded
with it in sinking the cruiser Housa-
tonic. The boat was cigar-shaped
craft carrying a crew of nine, and was
propelled by oars ingeniously equipped.
1t has been claimed that she was run
ming practically on the surface when
she made her attack and that there
fore her effectiveness as a submarine
was not fully demonstrated.
It remains, however, the only in
stance when a submarine has been
successfully employed in actual war
fare, and the manner of the attack
will never be known, for the explosion

Two Companies Compete.
SO far as is now anticipated, the
| only competitors will be the Holland
and Lake Submarine Boat companies.
Between these two the competition
has always been most bitter The fact
that the navy department has stuck to
the Holland type has aroused much
criticism and the contest has been
wagcd with great warmth in congress
where charges have been made that
the devotion OF the department to the
Holland type was due to political in
lluence.
There have been previous tests in
which the two designs have met, the
most important previous one having
been In 1898, when three types were
entered, the Baker submarine meeting
the other two. Since then, however
and even since 1900 and 1901, when all
the submarines now in the navy were

New YOrk.-A battle royal between
submarines, the most exhaustive con
test ever held between these craft Is
scheduled to take place in the waters
OF Narragansett bay and the sea OH
the Rhode Island coast this month.
Every conceivable test to when

ness will be employed week or more
being devoted to each competitor, and
on the result will depend the choice OF
the United States government in the
further development OF this branch
OF It's naval service that has been de-
cIded upon.
An appropriation OF 100000 Is
now available for the building Of sub
marines as soon as the type Is de-
cided upon. Further appropriations
are expected In order that this gov
eminent may keep pace with European
powers in submarine activity more
nearly than 1t has been doing.
Eight Of these curious craft are now
in the American navy, and four more
are nearing completion at the Fore
River shipyard All these are Of the
Holland type which has so far re-
tained It's supremacy IN the opinion OF
naval authorities, though not without
bitter competition on the part Of the
Lake Submarine company with occa-
sional charges OF undue influence.
Some indication of tho Interest
which the coming tests will arouse
among naval men Of this country and
the experts OF foreign powers may be
seen in the recent incident at the Fore
R'"er yard Fore River, Mass, when
Japanese officers stationed there dur
