FouH NEW SUBMARINES naval
eApeFts VIII soon take up the design of the
ieM submarines Of which Congress at tbe
reg ular session authorized four Con-
ss ei a''oh VIII also be given to a new tyne
@ peoo boat destroyer, described in the
naval appropriation act as a craft with ito
Vitals below the waterl,ne In tbo
OK the latter type no contract will he made
uii'h boat mas been constructed along
the lines contemplated. when It will he
possible under the law for the Navv Da-
lartment to contract for three boats The
''aNal oIncers are not particularly i'm
pressed with this type of boat for which
provision was made without any recon-
mendatlon by the Navy Department In
'he matter of a submarine it is probable
mat the boats OF that class for which
contracts have recently been awarded Will
be duplicated in the four submarines now,
to he designed. They will be of about the
same displacement. as they cannot with
the amount available be of greater size
There is an expert view presented to the
Navy Department in favor of smaller sub
marines. This view is not likely to pre-
van, and it is probable that were the funds
available larger submarine would be de-
signed
NEW MATERIAL TARGET.-The coast
artiilerists are to have a new target at
which to fire the heavy guns from the sea-
coast armament. The new target is 80 by
0o feet. and some of the targets have been
supplied 10 artillery districts For pur-
poses of comparison the firing this year
VIII be at the old target under the system
OF counting which has prevailed hereto
Tore 1t is expected that material targets
VIII be supplied TO all districts in time for
the practice of 1910, and then and after
ward only actual hits on that target viii
be counted. The officers of the coast ar
tillery corps who have to do with the tar
get practice are gratifed to observe the
progress which has been made in ac-
curacy with guns above four inches in
calibre. There has been marked I'M
provement in that direction all along.
