John T.. Holland Of East Orange.
N. j., inventor Of the submarine boat,
has devised a deep sea- submarine
which, he says, will be able to cross

has been sold to a foreign government,
whose name he declines to make pub.
lie.
"The new boat will have n speed of
30 knots an hour" said Mr.. Holland
recently. ut will be manned by a
crew of five and will be SO construct
ed az to lift the submarine from the
plane Of a coast and harbor defender
to an instrument of aggressive war
fare. offered the plans to the United
States navy department, but received
no encouragement, sc had to sell them
abroad. The navy department dis
counts the inventions Of Americans
and places a premium upon devices
tried by other powers"
The new boat will be cigar shaped
and can be sunk to a depth of 200
feet. It will be strengthened to re-
sist pressure under water and will dis
charge a torpedo at twice the speed
OF the present torpedo. The vessel,
according to the inventor, can accom-
pany a battleship on any voyage, no
matter what the length.
