Modern submarine boats are of two types the
submerged and the submergible. The submerged
when in light cruising condition moves with only
a small percentage Of the hull above the water;
the submergible cruises on the surface much
like an ordinary torpedo boat. which 1t resembles
externally. The difference in principle between
the two types is slight, but In construction de-
tails 1t is very marked. The submerged boats
are usually nearly cylindrical with pointed ends.
the general shape being much like that OF a
Whitehead torpedo Submergence is effected by
admitting water to the ballast tanks or by means
of inclined rudders, or both. SubmerRtble boats
have two hulls, one inside the other. The outer
hull resembles closely that OF the ordinary tor.
pedo boat, but has few projections as possible
rising from the general outline In order to pre-
sent smooth surface when submerged. Inside
this there is a second hull OF nearly circular

English submarines of about the same size as
the Salmon, which made the coastwise run from
lover to Dundee, a distance Of 512 miles, and the
famous performance OF the French submarine
Papin, which on one occasion made cruise of
1000 miles. However this French achievement
is overshadowed by the Samon's cruise because
not only was the distance of the latter much
greater, but 1t was. open sea performance,
whereas the Papin cruised along the coast, and,
finally, the French vessel is much larger than
the new American record breaker, the Papin be-
Ing Of $50 tons displacement whereas the Salmon
is Of but 800 tons displacement
The Salmon, alike to most of the submarines
which have lately been added to the United
States navy, is development of the original
Holland type Of submarine which first gave the
Americans the lead in this class of shipbuilding
The Salmon is 1876 feet in length by IA feet beam
and Is twin-screw boat, being driven the
surface by two gasoline engines of 300 horse
power each and propelled when submerged by
electrical power supplied from storage batteries.
By way of fulfilling her mission Of destruction
the little vessel has four torpedo tubes equipped
to fire the latest type Of torpedo-that is, tor
pedo II feet in length and 1S inches In diameter,
having radius of 1000 yards and carrying
explosive charge of 200 pounds of guncotton On
her cruise to Bermuda the Salmon carried a
crew OF 21 men, but 1t was demonstrated on this
cruise that under actual service conditions such
a submarine can be operated. in far navi-
cation is concerned by five men-two on the
bridge and three in the engine room.
The Salmon is capable Of speed of IA knots
per hour when running awash the surface
of the water and II knots per hour when running
wholly submerged. Only three minutes is
quired to change from surface running by gaso-
line engines to submerged running by electrical
power. The vessel has. on trial, dived to depth
of more than 200 feet without any sign OF strain
or leakage being manifest anywhere on her steel
cigars body. unique feature of the equip
ment Of an uptodate submarine such as the
Salmon is a double periscope whereby. when
the vessel is wholly submerged the ofhcers

Well, as I started out to say, Mon seigneur, one of those jurors was "seen'' by an agent" so the news item reads, and that juror was asked by that agent ito stick it out for Browne till hell freezes over" Now, when l want information for my class in de- mocracy, I always go to headquarters for it. I want to know from you at about what part of the heIlish calendar hell first freezes over because we can didates for the United States senate are mighty anxious about. that verdict
 You see, it is this way: If even one juror sticks it out for Browne till hell freezes over, we have just got to wait and wait for my understanding is that your climate is a trife backward in coming to the freezing point, and the result of Brownes' trial. you see, may have quite a little to do with the stick ing quality of the senatorial white wash to be applied to our dignified senator from Illinois later on. Oh, but this suspense is awful.
 I was about to inquire if you have seen Lorimer; but never mind, you will see him all right, all right.
