HER CAREER UNIQUE.

Aside from all religious significance
Mrs. Eddy's death takes away a figure
of absorbing interest to many people in
the world, In some respects her career
was unique. History shows that the
leaders of new religious movements have
rarely lived to see their faith generally
accepted or even tolerated. They have
not. as a rule been mindful of material
prosperity and their religious founda-
lions have rested on the convictions and
the faith that Is In them, rather than
on their popularity and power. But Mrs
Eddy, In the space OF half life time,
succeeded in establishing new faith
and new church, besides acquiring
great riches and worldly honors; and her
power increased to the end of her life,
This. surely is a new record In religious
history.
Christian Scientists have nck hesitated
to associate Mrs, Eddy with Christ, and
she has been compared TO all religious
leaders from Luther to- John Alexander
Dowie. But the comparisons Will not
stand Luther contended against the eO'
| soluts power OF a dominant church, while

Lisbon, Portugal.-Senhor Almerda,
minister of the interior, discussing the
question of the disposal of King Man
uels property, said: 81 cannot speak
in the name of the government, for no
decision has yet been made officially.
But my own personal view is what be-
longs to the nation, the nation will re-
tain, and that which belongs to the
king will be kept for him and re-
spected.
1--WE shall make an Inventory of all
the possessions of his majesty. At the
present all royal palaces are closed,
carefully guarded, and the cabinet will
decide what is to be done with them.
Those palaces which belong to the ma
ton will undoubtedly become mu-
seums, or schools, or in some way be
turned to public benefit. Those which
are the kings personal heritage will
remain so, but If the king has left
debts to the nation these debts must
be satisfied.

English submarines of about the same size as
the Salmon, which made the coastwise run from
Dover to Dundee, a distance of 512 miles, and the
FAMOUS performance of the French submarine
Papn, 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 an 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 shipbudng
The Salmon is 1876 feet in length by IA feet beam
and is a twin-screw boat, being driven on the
surface by two gasoline engines of 800 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 a tor
pedo IT feet In length and Is inches in diameter,
having a radius of 1000 yards and carrying an
explosive charge of 200 pounds Of guncotton, On
her cruise to Bermuda the Salmon carried a
of 81 men, but it demonstrated on this
cruise that under actual service conditions such
a submarine can be operated, in so far navi-
cation is concerned, by five men--two on the
bridge and three in the engine ROOM
The Salmon is capable of a speed OF il knots

ment OF 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 at the

Modern submarine boats are of two types the
submerged and the submergble. The submerged
when in light cruising condition moves with only
a small percentage of the hull above the water;
the submergible cruises the surface much
like ordinary torpedo boat. which 1t resembles
externally. The difference in principle between
the two types is slight hut in construction de-
tails ii 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 both Submergihle boats
have two hulls, one inside the other. The outer
huh resembles closely that OF the ordinary tor
pedo boat but has as few projections as possible
rising from the general outline in order to pre-
sent smooth surface when submerged Inside
this there is second hull OF nearly circular
cross-section and large as the shape of the
outer boat permits. TO eject submergence water
first admitted to the space between the hulls

tion. Further suhmergence is effected by permit,

DISPATCHER ON MCKINLEY sYs-
TEN TEsTlFlEs AT INQUEST
REGARDING ORDER.
WENT 55 MILES AN HOUR
Motorman Of southbound Car in the
Stanton Disaster Made High
spe=d-Inquiry Postponed to
Get Conductors Testimony.

Carlinville, Ill.-After the first days
session Of the inquest concerning the
deaths of 81 passengers who lost
their lives in the Mckinley inter-
urban wreck at Staunton October
had been completed here, Coroner
Doris H. Karnes announced an in
definite adjournment. Its object is
to await the recovery Of Conductor
Duncan of the southbound limited
car, who Is in the Granite City hos
pital. Duncan was hurt in the acct
dent, and his testimony is desired to
complete the evidence at the hearing.
The first witness examined was Roy
Alexander Of Stanton, who up to the
time of the wreck had been chief dis
patcher for the traction system and
in charge Of the division office at
Staunton, which dispatches both ways
on. the Springfield and st. Louis divi-
sions. In the wreck w. w. Street,
the division superintendent, lost his
life, and Mr.. Alexander has since then
been acting superintendent.
Alexander was called to give expert
testimony as to the methods of opera
ting the lines. He explained the gov
erning power of the time card or reg
ular schedule of meeting points and
station times when all trains were
regular and running on time.
II. o. Lamb, who has been train
dispatcher at Staunton for the last
two years, took the stand. He stated
he was on duty at the time of the
wreck, and had given the orders i'm
mediately preceding. The original
copy of the orders was found in the
locker of Motorman John Herman of
the northbound car. He placed them
there on returning to headquarters at
Stanton Immediately after the acct
dent. The other car men also pos
sessed copies of the same order, which
was further substantiated by the orig
inal in the dispatcher's book.
Runs SIS Miles an Hour.
E. ]. Young Of Staunton, who has
been motorman since June Is, this
year, and was handling the controller
on the southbound car, testified the
northbound car was Just coming off
the Cahokia bridge when he saw it,
the distance being 500 or 600 feet.
His car was running so to 55 miles
an hour, which speed, he estimated,
would require distance of 1000 feet
to stop.
Young declared he used every effort
to pull the speed down, that he threw
over the reverse and held the motors
in the reverse motion until the cars
were almost together, when he set
the airbrake to the emergency and
jumped. He said Herman, the other
motorman, leaped from his place at
the same time,
