Modern submarine boats 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 submergble cruises the surface much
like an 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. Submergence is effected by
admitting water to the ballast tanks by means
of inclined rudders, or both. Submergible boats
have two bulls, inside the other. The outer
hull 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 a smooth surface when submerged. Inside
this there is a second hull of nearly circular
crosssection and large the shape of the
outer boat permits To effect submergence water
first admitted to the space between the bulls.
and this brings the boat to the "awash" condi.
ton. Further submergence is effected by permit.

When by whom was built the first subma-
rne boat will probably never be known. 1t is
said that Alexander the Great was interested in
submarine navigation. while subagueous attacks
of vessels studied at least early as the
thirteenth fourteenth century. NJ, Delpeuch
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
Drebbel exhibited to King James J. on the
Thames submarine boat of his own design. BY

FLOWER FRIEZE is PRETTY
Made by Cutting the Background
Away From Paper or Canvas Bor-
ders in the Bedroom.

One of the newest ideas In room
decorations is the flower frieZe. The
walls of the room are colored or pa
pered cream or a delicate green, and
then an applique of flowers is put up
just below the cornice.
This applique is made by cutting
away the background from the pattern
of canvas or paper frieze, giving the
design the appearance of bold OPEN
work embroidery. very sharp pair
of scissors must be used and 1t does
not at all matter if the frieZe be cut
into short lengths, so long as 1t is
pasted up carefully on the wall so that
the Jennings do not show. The design
should not be conventional" but OF
natural-looking flowers.
A very pretty effect is got by carry
ing this idea out all through house,
choosing a different flower for each
frieZe. One room has a frieze of pur.
pie pansies, another of punches and
tendrils of violets, another of golden
| daffodils or michaelmas daisies. The
flower chosen for the frieze Is repeat
ed in the pattern on the hangings, the
chintz on the chairs and on the toilet
ware.
Cream enamel or green-stained
wooden furniture looks charming In
flower room, especially when the
tiles on the washstand and around the
CRATE match the color of the flower
frieze. Any enterprising woman can
carry out this idea herself. using a

At the same time it should not be
forgotten that the bedroom should be
