SUBMARINE FISHING BOAT.
New Way of Taking sponges From
the Bed of the Sea.

| From the Technical World.
The Tunisian sponge fishing industry
until a few years ago was practiced in
a most primitive manner ny free divers
who by the duties of their profession
considerably endangered their lungs and
health. This method has been more and
more superseded during recent years by
the use of diving outfits. while a further
step toward a more convenient and ny
gienic practice has been recently taken
by Able Raoul at Carthage by the con-
struction of a fishing boat in which the
submarine principle is applied most eff
fectively to the purpose of that peaceful
industry.
The boat which has been built on Able
RaouTs plans, consists mainly of a
sphero-cylindrical buoy on which cupola
giving access to the interior has been
fitted.
The interior of the boat contains two
compressed- air tanks, receiving air at
$50 pounds pressure. and three water
ballast tanks by the aid of which the
diving and rising motion is obtained.
An iron ballast 1 800 pounds in weight at
tached below the bottom can be olsen
gagged from within in order quickly to
raise the boat TO the surface in the case
of danger.

DESPOILING THE FIELDS.

From the Technicsl World.

on their travels the best elements of the

At the present rate on most careful esti-
mates by the eminent scientist. DR.. w. J..
MCGEE. this soil waste is much over a
billion tons year; an amount SO STU
pendous that it is beyond the powers of
human comprehension. 1t is worth to the
farmers not less than a dollar a ton, and
as the dangerous conditions are con-
stantly increasing. the ownership of a
Mississippi valley farm will soon be a
burden rather than a blessing unless the
devastation of the river slopes and water
sheds be sharply checked
Shifting bars on river bottoms mean
lost farm land; rushing floods of muddy
waters tell an eloquent story Of piratical
forestation and slipshod agriculture.
Every ounce OF sediment in flowing
lying between farm burrows bringing
grain and vegetables to fruition. Every
muddy stream tells its own story of shift

Farm outlines are being changed every
twenty-four hours along those water

of tons Of earth carried in the shape of
sediment and with the richest soil salts

robs the farmers by three processes; TAX
ing first the solid material which the cur
rents roll seward on the river bottoms:
secondly by the quantities which flow in
suspension as a sediment. and last, by the
soil salts which disappear In solution.
