I am afraid that the clock setter
at the opera house failed to see what
] said Tuesday and the beautiful
reasons given by Tempus as to cor
rect time. The clock is still about
eight minutes fast. Now it is too
bad 10 get our people in the habit Of
being too fast. Mr.. Mayor, please
have the clock set by Washington
time every day.
Somebody said the other day that
sparrows and other birds had been
seen riding on the hand Of the clock
and you know anything as heavy as
q sparrow on the minute hand on the
right side might shove it up eight
minutes. And then if they would
ride the minute hand as 1t was climb
ing the hill it might hold it back a
few minutes. But if the proper Off
Ger would see that the clock had
Washington time every day at noon
all would be we'll. Why not do it
now. And let the birds enjoy the
rides.
I read the following in some news
paper some time ago:
eve have been criticised by a
Montana editor for holding the po-
sitions Of editor, postmaster, mayor,
game warden, colonel Of the militia,
and chief Of THE fire department at
the same time. That's the trouble
with some folks-they don't under
stand how a man can swell and en-
large and absorb. We are prepared
to take III a dozen other Offices and
not crowd ourself- Groom inside J
is our motto. We didn't get pres
idential nomination last year, but we
are growing for II. The Hellso fam
lily can't be kept down.
That's the way to. talk it. The
more jobs you can get the more you
can expand. And if you keep on you
may get the nomination for govern
or, if not for president. And where's
the difference, just so you have the
Jobs? The criticism Of an editor
doesn't count for much, certainly
50 long as you can keep the people
fooled.

about the written word and the re-

in contact with 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 its 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.
AT a suitable distance from each
end of the inner boat two tnrrets are
constructed that rise at right angles to
the inner boat to distance of a 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.
1.-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 point sufficient to hold q
solid iron keel, which allows the re-
voluble hull to turn between 1t 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 conical PROV extending and
coming to 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 Lat can be re-
paired at sea as well as in dry dock"

These are corals, seed pearls and

worn with great pride.
Canoes, if good, are now worn on
the most elaborate evening gowns as
well as for street Large ones set in

A NOVEL SUBMARINE
NEW TYPE OF UNDER WATER
CRAFT INVENTED BY NEGRO.
Problem Solved II Principles Work
Out as Well as in Trial-Boat Will
Be of Great Service as
Life Preserver.

Denver.-Robert Lincoln, a negro in
ventor of this city. has perfected an
entirely new type of submarine craft.
which is to be brought to the atten-
tion of the war department by num-
her of capitalists who have become in
terested in the invention. If Lincoln's
principles work out as well in the
trial boat as they do in the model
there is no doubt that he has solved
the problem of under water naviga-
ton. He gives the following details
concerning his unique craft:
MY invention will not only prove
an improvement in submarine naviga-
ton, but will introduce new mode of
propulsion, which 10y be applied to
all water craft, whe,ner running on or
beneath the surface of the water" the
inventor says
1T can be steered or controlled with
as much ease and safety in rough as
in calm seas. Observation can be
taken as accurately while the boat is
wholly submerged as when on the sur
face by system of mirrors and re-
fracted rays, only exposing an eight
inch pipe to view.
THE boat is agile. swift and
durable. 1t will stand the pressure of
the water at any depth. By the appli-
cation of hydroplanes. keel, and tur-
rets, we are able to do away with the
propeller and its ponderous machinery
absolutely necessary to get speed from
the style now in vogue.
THE revoluble hull is the greatest
achievement of the invention. 1t has
spiral arranged blade encircling it
from end to end resembling a cork
screw. When this hull is set in mo.
ton upon its axis this blade coming

shade. measured to fit the neck. The

While it is very lovely to say "tie

bow tied permanently. and to fasten

A chemical discovery, or rather re-
discovery of what was an old Roman
secret known to have been used about
600 years ago, is a liquid preparation
to prevent iron rust and wall damp
ness. When applied to the bottom
plates of ships it is said to prevent OK
idation, animal or vegetable marine
parasites and growths and, besides
preserving the life OF The iron plates,
will also add to the speed of liners
and warships. When the inside of a
ship is coated over with this liquid
it stops the weeping of the inner
skins of the iron sides which, as ship
pers SO well know, is so often the
cause of much damage to ships car
goes.
Freshly plastered rooms when paint
ed with the same preparation admit of
immediate occupancy or decoration. as
the paper can be applied without de-
lay or damage. The tests have ex-
tended over period of many months.
