Rhode Islands July 4.

Providence, R. l., May 4.-The an
niversary of Rhode Islands declara-
ton of independence, which the 10
cal historians claim antedated by two
months the general Declaration of
independence of the thirteen colon
les, was celebrated as an official hol-
iday today throughout the state.
Rhode Island claims the distinction
of having been the first of the orig
inal thirteen colonies to renounce the
sovereignty of Great Britain. Ac-
cording to the historical records it
was on May 4, 1776, exactly two
months before the Declaration of In
dependence was signed at Philadel-
phia, that the members of the Cen
eral Assembly of the Colony of
Rhode Island and the Providence
Plantations took the first steps to-
ward a stand against English rule
in the shape of formal remuneration
of allegiance to the British Crown.
Two years ago the legislature de-
clared for the observance of the an
niversary as public holiday
throughout the state. Today's cele-
bration consisted of patriotic exer-
cises in the public schools and his
| torical exercises in the hall Of the
old state house in this city, where
the declaration of independence was
signed 1874 years ago by the states
men of Rhode Island. In further
observance of the anniversary sa-
Lutte of thirteen guns was fired at
noon in Providence, Newport, Bris-
| toll and other cities.

Conconully, Wash, May 4.-Oka-
hogan, the last county in the state
to have it's standing timber cruised,
has more timber than it's people
guessed. County Assessor Kloppen-
burg, when he induced the county
commissioners to provide for the
cruising and taxation of timber, con-
servatively estimated $4,000 feet to
each 40 acres. The cruisers are now
making their reports, which indicate
that the average will be 100000 feet
of merchantable timber on each 40
acres, with some forties running as
high as 100000 feet.
Assessor Kloppenburg, who has
reclassified some of the lands, esti-
mates that the increase in assessed
valuation of the county this year, on
both personal and real property, will
be $1,OO0,0O0.

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 submergble cruises ON the surface much
like 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. Submergible boats
have two huls, ono inside the other. The outer
hull resembles closely chat 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 Ia second hull of nearly circular
cross-secton 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
