Modern submarine boats are of two types the
submerged and the submergbe. The submerged
when in light cruising condition moves with only
small percentage OF the hull above the water;
the submergble cruises the surface much
like ordinary torpedo boat. which it resembles
externally. The difference in principle between
the two types is slight but in construction de-
tails IT is very marked The submerged boats
are usually nearly cylindrical with pointed ends.
the general shape being much like that of
Whitehead torpedo. Suhmergence is effected by
admitting water to the ballast tanks or by means
of inclined rudders, both. Sabmergibe boats
have two hulls. inside the other. The outer
hull resembles closely that OF the ordinary tor
pedo boat but has as few projections possible
rising from the general outline, in order to pre-
sent smooth surface when submerged Inside
this there is second hull of nearly circular
croes-section and as large as the shape OF the
outer boat permits To effect submergence water
first admitted to the space between the hulls,
and this brings the boat to the "awash" condi-
tion. Further submergence is effected by permit
ting the ballast tanks to fill.
When by whom was built the first subma-
rine boat will probably never be known II Is
said that Alexander the Great was interested In
submarine navigation while subaQueous attacks
OF vessels was studied at least as early as the
thirteenth or fourteenth century M. Depeuch
states that some English ships were destroyed
In 1872 by fire carried under water. In the
early part OF the seventeenth century submarine
boats were numerous, and In 1924 Cornelius Van

Wooing Sally Plum
By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY
Copyright, 1910, BY Associated Literary Press

The records Of the Plum family
bear witness that Sally Plum, as a
bab! child and young girl, was
different from others. She was Sc
date and serene from the first. She
went through scarlet rash and whoop-
ing cough and measles without a
complaint. She had no use for rag
dolls and play houses. She did not
climb trees nor play marbles with
the boys.
At the age of sixteen Sally attended
Sunday school picnic which lasted
all day. The only time during the
day she was heard to utter remark
was when woman asked her If she
wasn't sorry she came. She replied:
Yes, ma'am," and that was all.
1t was because Sally was SO diff
ferent from other girls that her
grandfather left her $4,000. He
also left Sally's widowed mother half
that amount. The two lived in a
village and were the richest persons
In It.
Besides being odd and different,
Sally was plain Of face and rather
awkward of figure. At twenty she
had never. thought love nor talked it.
No young man had walked with her.
She had never read novel, and she
did not know the meaning Of romance
She cooked and washed and iroDed
and baked and seyed carpet rags. and
was serene.

Dover to Dundee, distance of 512 miles, and the
famous performance of the French subr.arine
Paun, which on one occasion made cruise of
1900 miles. However, this French achievement
Is overshadowed by the Salmon's cruise because
not only was the distance OF the latter much
greater, but 1t was open sea performance

is Of but 800 tons displacement.
The Salmon, alike to most Of the submarines
which have lately been added ito the United
States navy, Is development of the original
Holland type OF submarine which first gave the
Americans the lead in this class of shipbuiding
The Salmon Is 1875 feet in length by IA feet beam
and is twn-screw boat being driven on the

explosive charge of 200 pounds of guncotton On
her cruise to Bermuda the Salmon carried

cruise that under actual service conditions such

The Salmon is capable of speed Of IA knots

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
cgar-shaped body. A unique feature OF the equip
ment of an up-to-date submarine such as the
Salmon, is a double periscope whereby when
the vessel is wholly submerged the officers on
board can observe all that is going on at the
surface of the water. Electrical ranges are pro-
vided for cooking the meals Of those on board,

looking around for good thing. He
dropped in to court Sally. The
mother left them together whole

less, that the middle classes nave some
thing and must receive something. and
that the upper classes have much and
must receive more.
The Social Lines
|. The publican, who sometimes assists
the barmaid but more often lounges in
state, was told by an idIing America n
that in the United States there was no
such separation of the rich and the
poor when it came to the business of
selling strong drink. Being an En-
ghshman he showed no interest in that
strange statement. The American then
Ventured the assertion that even the
most aristocratic Yankee would object
TO paying three times as much money
for the same drink of the same LIQUOR
served over the same bar by the same
barmaid, He went so far as to de-
clare that the bartender would not
recognize either inferiority or superior
ity in the quality of money showed
across the mahogany on account of the
social station of the imbibing spender.
He told the publican that he doubted
II dozen men could be mustered in
all the great republic who would de-
hberately go into a section of a bar
room reserved for the lower classes.
even TO save two cents on the price of
a drink. The publican thought it all
over and said: But how do they keep
the classes apart?"
Women Drink Here
Other things are strange and pecuI-
lar in these stratified and classified
barrooms. Women enter them at will,
publicly and upon a plane of exact
equality with the men. In the public
and the private bars they stand and
take their drinks with the men. in the
saloon bar, or in the occasional ladies
bar" boosted by some establishments,
they find seats and may sip their liquor
at ease. Shocking as this may seem
to the puritanical Yankee, it has its
redeeming features. The barmaid is
always present and her presence and
her sex must always be respected
Women are present in each of the bars.
and the fact that they are there i'm
poses an additional obligation upon the
men. For that reason the British bar
rooms, although the scene of as much
hard drinking as the American saloon
has none of the coarse conversation
and rude ribaldry which characterizes
even the better places" among Amer
lean saloons. A man who would dare
to use in one of these London barrooms
the language to be heard almost anv
hour of any day in an American saloon
would need the aid of the police to
protect him from the fury of the out
ragged patrons of the place.
Even Children Enter Bars.
Until year ago children also came
and went at will to these barrooms.
and were served with liquors up to the
limit of their ability to drink and nav.
The lest parliament passed what is
known as the children's act This law
makes provisions for Juvenile houses
of correction,for the separate care os
