HONOR TO CALL HIM FRIEND.
Medical Practitioner Ranks High In
Scale of Humanity.

To know a medical practitioner Is
to know one who is superior to the
average educated man. Few profess
sions, perhaps no other, develop so
much of character. The occupation of
healing and the necessity of behold
Ing men and women and children at
their worst, irritable, unreasonfng, and
often cowardly, has not, fortunately,
caused his own degeneration. His ca
pacity for thoughtfulness is trained to-
keenness, his self1shness, where there
is any, is shrewdly hidden, and the
human instinct for enjoyment is none
the less in him because of his knowl-
edge of its reactions.
That the doctors expectation of life
is short is the natural result of his
following calling that makes unnat-
ural demands. Only the more fortu-
nate specialists have time that they
can call their own. The doctors work
is always exacting, often discouraging,
and invariably draws without mercy
on his nervous energy.-Binghamton

in contact with a great surface OF wa
Ter, the forward movement of the boat
is smooth.
The inner boat, being carried by
the outer boat, does not come in con
tact with the water, and can offer no
resistance to it's speed or momentum.
THE inner boat is similar in con-
struction and size to the outer, and
constitutes the living apartments and
affording a place to carry all the neces-
sary appliances according to the usage
Of the boat.
cat a suitable distance from each
end of the inner boat two turrets are
constructed that rise at right angles to
the inner boat to a distance of foot
above the greatest diameter of the re-
Voluble hull. So that when running
awash only very small portion of
the boat is exposed to view, and no
vital parts.
THE rear turrets constitute a
pilot house and also afford an open
ing for ingress and egress to the inner
boat, the pilot house being telescoped
In the turret and closed with water
tight fastenings when boat is sub
merged.
"The lower ends of the turrets are
made fiat and thin, and extend down
ward to a point sufficient to hold a
solid iron keel, which allows the re-
voluble hull to turn between it and
The inner boat This keel steadies the
boat latterly and adds stability to the
inner boat, being rigidly connected at
both ends
If in the rapid rotation of the outer
shell the inner boat may have any in
clination to deviate from a level, by
working the hydroplanes of the one
side adverse to those of the other.
their action on the water will easily
and effectively arrest such deviations.
From both ends of the inner boat
there is a conical prov extending and
coming to a point which makes a most
formidable weapon and can effectively
be used in ramming other vessels. In
these prows and in front of the for
ward turret and rear of the rear tur.
ret are torpedo tubes, using COM
pressed air force.
while the boat has been recon-
mended for war purposes, its greatest
service to mankind will be as a life
preserver.
"All parts and appliances of this
boat are made and put together from
the inside, so that the boat can be re-
paired at sea as well as in dry dock. .

About twelve months ago my wife
