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 a 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, but each nation Is be-
lieved to be building them in it's 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.

ReaimentaI Baby.

The soldiers of the Sixty-third Foot
regiment at Saint Mihiel, France,
have adopted baby which was found
asleep in a sentry-box recently. 1t
had a wooden horse clasped in its
arms, and pinned to his jacket was a
note saying: please look after my lit
tie Jacques, whom l am unable to
support" Jacques was therefore
taken into barracks, where the men
promptly decided that he should re-
main. He will wear little suit of
regimentals, and the soldiers will
take l.. il turn to look after him.

HE WAS A "pEesnEss" MAN.
And the Sharp saloonkeeper Found
1t Out, Too.

"The shrewdest man in all the
world lives in Argentine"
A railroad conductor was telling
stories in the smoking compartment
of a railway car. The engine had just
whistled for Argentine and the long
train bumped noisily over lot of
switches and ratified past string of
freight cars in the yards.
Did he come from New York;"
asked a Chicago salesman nudging
diamond broker who was from the
east.

"he just happened. His home, think,
was probably Jerusalem He landed
In Argentine one day last year with
not enough money to buy ferry

California cost 20 cents, he couldn't
have made Emporia. We called him
Isaac and Isaac was about as long

that day the market received social
call from the little cyclone. He was

Isaac had the instinct, however,
and he went after the coin. He walk
ed to the country and got some eggs.
No one knows how or where. No one
cared. He got 'em, some way. Came
in with six dozen in a basket-sold
'em for 35 cents dozen. They
brought him $1.50. That was Isaac's
start. Day after day he went to the
country and got all the eggs he could
carry. Finally he had earned $125.
Isaac paid $50 for an old horse and
wagon and developed into a real bust

was safely tied up behind freight

Smoking Forbidden.

In Abyssinia 1t is considered crime
to smoke. The law forbidding tobacco
was first intended to prevent priests
from smoking in church, but it was
taken too literally and nowadays
even foreigners have to be careful not
to be seen smoking.

in getting a storm sufficient to test
the submarines to the utmost during
tho period of the trials.
Another important feature will be
Hhe submerged test, during which each
competitor will be kept beneath he
surface for "a hours, when the crew
will be dependent entirely on the re-
sources of the boat for food, air and
all living accommodations. This will
ldetermine the habitability of the boats
under water for longer periods than
have yet been attempted in official
tests.
Limit to Safe Depth.
Previous tests have lasted II hours,
and the crews have declared that the
limit was by no means, reached. The
amount of fresh cir carried and the

amount used during the test will be
carefully noted.
A depth of $50 feet is about as great
as submarines would be called on to
reach in actual service, but in the
coming tests, to quote the announce
ment to builders, mo boat will be ac-
cepted as fulfilling all the require
ments of the navy department unless
the boat will stand without damage
the stresses due to an actual sub
mergence of at least 200 feet"
Other tests will include speed trials
over measured mile courses in light,
cruising and awash conditions, sub
merged speed trials, firing of torpedoes
in submerged and other conditions,
mining, countermining, cable cutting
and handling torpedoes.
The details of the tests, including
the number OF trials to each boat un-
der the varying conditions, are left
entirely in the hands of the trial
board, of which Capt Adolph Mark,
U. s. N, is chairman. The test is to
last as long as necessary to complete
the trials under every condition OF
weather that is desired. 1t was sug-
gested by the secretary of the navy
that the date be changed on account
of the probability of cold weather at
that time but no action was taken on
this suggestion.
Winter weather is of small conse
! quence to submarines in action, as
, was demonstrated during trial of the
Lake Submarine company's Protector

, carried away by the ice under which
l she was running. at depth of some

New Yoyk.-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 off
the Rhode Island coast this month.
Every conceivable test to which a
submarine boat can be subjected to
determine its reliability and effective
ness will be employed, week or more
being devoted to each competitor, and
con the result will depend the choice of
the United States government in the
further development of this branch
of its naval service that has been de,
ucided upon.
An appropriation of $1,000,000 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
'ernment may keep pace with European
powers in submarine activity more
NEARLY than it 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 the interest
which the coming tests will arouse
Of thic country and
the experts of foreign powers may be
seen in the recent incident at the Fore
River yard, Fore River, Mass, wher
Japanese officers stationed there dur
ling the building of some turbines
for their government displayed curl
tosity in regard to the new submarine!
that caused American officials K
worry.
Japanese Watch Closely.
On one of the preliminary trials o
the submarines the Japanese officer
chartered yacht and followed th
little boats until finally the American
officials asked them to desist. This re
,sulted in calling the affair to the al
tention of the higher authorities
Washington, and 1t came to public a
dention when President Roosevelt i:
sued an order granting the Japanes
permission to observe unhindere
anything in the way of constructio
which they desired at the yard.
From this it is inferred that tn
Japanese officials, as we'll as som
from other nations, may be on han
during the tests in Narragansett ba
to gain as much information as the
can in regard to the probable additio
to the United States navy. That sue
observation will not be welcomed
evident from the attitude of the nav;
officials in the Fore River case, an
from the cloud of secrecy and mysteI
which they have attempted to thro
,over the preparations for the tests.
From the notices sent to prospectiN
competitors outlining the requi1
lments and the nature of the tests, n
tices which the navy department itse
declined to make public, the impo
ttance of the event in naval progress
evident. Fer one of the tests a stor

OLYMPIA, Jan. S.-The first biennial
report of the state tax commissioners
recsuBts the efforts of the commission
toward establishing uniform method
of assessments of property in the vari-
Gus counties of the state. The Com
missioner found a deplorable lack of
uniformity, it says, in the assessed val
ues, not only of the different counties,
but in various classes of property in
the same locality. 1t was frequently
found that certain property was assess
en- at from 80 to 80 per cent of its actual
value, while other classes were escap-
ing with an assessment of not more
than u per cent of their value.
The commission says that while the
results of its efforts have not been en-
tirely satisfactory, they have accom-
plished as much as could reasonably
have been expected.
A meeting OF the county assessors OF
of the state was held in Olympia year
ago, at which it was determined to as
seSs all property in the state at so per
cent OF its real value. The law pro-
vides that all property must be assessed
at its true and fair value, but no atten-
ton has ever been paid to that require
ment and it was felt that to insist on
the strict observance of the law would
have been too radical departure from
conditions then prevailing.
Under the 60 per cent valuation. the
aggregate value Of all taxable property
in the state was increased from 1926,
O59, 1888 in 1905 to 1922, 0s2 j02 in 1906, a
gain of more than g. per cent.
The commission prepared several
new assessment forms and recites that
in:the main it has receive hearty CO.
operation from most of the county
assessors.
The commission advocates annual
meetings of the county assessors of the
state.
1t has been found that in this state
the burden of taxation falls heaviest on
the common, every day class of proper
ty. Homes, for instance, are taxed at
very much greater proportion to
their value than business property.
With sixty-two millions on deposit in
the banks Of the state 10 1903, the total
moneys returned for taxation amounted
to but 1855, 425.
The commission refers to its efforts
toward collecting Inheritance taxes due
the state. 1t has appeared in more
Than 100 cases and 40 cases are pend
ing. The constitutionality of the in
herltance Tx law has been sustained
IN the supreme courts.
The commission has been diligently
studying the tax systems of other
countries and states, aud has come to
the conclusion that the esta blishment
OF an effective system can be brought
ABOUT gradually, by the introduction
and passage of various bills in the leg
Is ature.
