Ger pointed to a little shed, which
seemed to be a sort of boathouse, and
VIII oh lay just beyond the pier upon
which 1 was standing. No one would
have surmised that the shed was
anything but one of the kind similar
to those in which dealers in oysters
shelter their craft.
81 went directly from the pier to
a float and then looked into an OPEN
ing in the shed. There was a pleas
ant-faced man there who, l inferred,
was the Waterman. He thought
was one of Erickson's employees. He
willingly took me inside of the shed
and there l saw the iron hull partly
submerged. The man told me that
few things were to be done to the
boat and then it was to be taken out
into the Hudson river, completely
submerged excepting for little roof
ing. 1t had one gun whose muzzle
was in the water then, and ii look
ed to me like a gun powerful enough
to discharge a projectile weighing
fifteen hundred pounds"
THAT" said Mr.. Bushnell. was
undoubtedly the Destroyer. Ericsson
would have been frantic had he known
you saw it. The gun which was the
sole armament of the boat Ericsson
cotton. How practicable the inyen-
ton is l cannot tell, but l am GER
tain that it will demonstrate that a
boat can be built capable of being
fioated beneath the surface of the
water and can carry gun which
will discharge a deadly projectile be-
meath the water directly at the hull
of war vessel.
In these later days of torpedo boats
and submarine vessels, there appears
to have been justification of the ex-
pectation of Ericsson and the convic-
ton of Mr.. Bushnell.

"Oh, you mean the Destroyer" re-
piled Mr.. Bushnell. "Well, l suppose
this boat is a development of an idea
which came to Ericsson when he was
working out the plans for the Monl-
tor l know he thought that if YES
sci could be built which would float
although almost completely sub
merged, as was the case with the
Monitor, a destructive vessel could
be built with a capacity to float be-
meath the surface of the water ana
to carry powerful guns which could
be discharged at unsuspecting YES
sells.
Il don't know whether the Destroy
er which l understand Ericsson has
built will really accomplish all he
claims for it, but / am inclined to
think that it will point the way for
the construction of a perfectly safe
and adequate submarine war vessel.
Ericsson in this case, as in almost
all others associated with his inven-
tions, is very close-mouthed. He will
not tolerate any inquiries. He was
somewhat irritable and was quick to
anger and / suppose for that reason
the public has had little knowledge
about the war vessel which he has
invented.
II saw that vessel, | said to Mr..
Bushnell, ''in spite of Ericsson's pre-
| cautions lest any eye save his own
and those of his employees sould see
| the boat"
"Then you were more fortunate
than any of the many other curious
persons who so often have asked me
about this eccentric war vessel"
| Then Mr.. Bushnell asked me TO tell
him how it happened that 1 was able
to see the boat before any test of 1t
! was made. In reply 1 said: II had
occasion to go TO one of the piers at
which ocean steamships dock on the
Manhattan side of the Hudson river.
1t was in the fall of $780, While en-
| gagged in the matter which took me

From the Baltimore American.
An important significance attaches
to the announcement that the South
ern Settlement and Development Or
ganization, which has headquarters
in this city, has engaged Professor
Cyril G.. Hopkins as an agricultural
expert--a specialist in the treatment
of WORKOUT soils. Professor Hopkins
comes from the agricultural depart
ment of the University of Illinois,
but he is even better known because
of his successful treatment of worn
out soils, as real farmer rather than
as a teacher of the theories of agri-
cultural chemistry.
He is apparently the particular man
that the Southern Settlement and De-
velopment Organization needs in its
business, which business in very
large degree has to do with making
five bales of cotton grow where only
enc can be grown at present. In the
old South-the region that lies south
of the Mason and Dixon line and east
of the Mississippi river-there is an
impoverished land area as big as the
German empire, and, though within
the past two decades there has been
a steady Improvement in the worn
out soils of this region, much yet re-
mains to be done. In fact, there is
reason to believe that both the aver
age cotton yield and the average
corn yield of this region. computed
over the period of the past ten years,
can be more than doubled.
Professor Hopkins is not merely
theorist concerning the possibility of
soil restoration, but one who has
made his theories come. true. He
comes in from the West, where the
soil is supposed to yet retain much
of its virgin richness. But he found
enough poor land In Illinois to use
for demonstration purposes.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

oats and alfalfa to a greater amount
than at present, these herds and
tiocks, reared so closely to the city
markets, can be made as profitable
as the animals raised one or two
thousand miles away in the Western
States and brought long distances to
these same markets.
The rise in values of Western lands
has made these Eastern acres COM
paratively cheap. 1t has changed the
conditions which prevailed In the last
century, and which populated the
West through settlers from the East
ern States, as well as immigrants
from every country in Europe.
There has been for the last five
years a decided movement of popu-
lation from the Northern to the
Southern States, and each year that
movement takes with it greater num-
bers of the Northern people.
From Maryland to Arizona, all
through the Southern States belt, this
influx of the Northern people is well
marked and defined, and in States
like Florida the percentage of North
erners is very high and growing with
every year.
The majority of these newcomers
are agriculturists, seeking low-priced
lands in milder climates and ready to
lend their energies and use their
means in promoting the development
of the state and the section in which
they have taken up their abodes.

With the disappearance of low
priced lands in the Western States
and the rising prices of farm prod
ucts in all the markets of the world,
the lands of the Eastern and the
Southeastern States are attracting
the attention of our stock raisers and
farmers, and their value as produc-
ing acreage is now being more ap-
preciated.
1t is evident that for cattle sheep
and hogs these Eastern and South
eastern lands must be relied upon to
supply the country to a far greater
extent than has been the case during
the last half century, and that mil
lions of acres in New England, the

Taro Katsura.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Japan loses a genuine statesman in
the death of Prince Taro Katsura,
who was for eight years premier, and
under whose ministry the war with
Russia was fought, the offensive and
defensive treaty with England signed
and Corea annexed. Katsura be-
longed to the Samurai class. He was
as proud of the old Japan as of the
new. A graduate of Prussia's mill
tary school, familiar with the mill
tary art, he was especially fitted for
the post of premier in a great struggle
with one of the powers of Europe.
His service as corps commander in
the war with China had been credit
able. His organization of q govern
ment for Formosa had shown much
of constructive craftsmanship. The

Russia's New Navy.

From the Boston Transcript.
Russia has been energetically re-
building its navy ever since the Peace

fleet of fourteen Russian warships in
British and French waters may be
safely put down as having another
purpose than its ostensible one of re-
turning naval courtesies. Last year

was cordially received. This autumn
Admiral Won Essen leads what Russia
r. CARDS as a model fleet to British

British visit to Reval, and, Incl
dentally, to show maritime Europe
that Russia has not abandoned it's
ambition to become a real naval
power His fleet is composed of four
att'eships, five cruisers, four des-
troyers and a transport. His flag
ship is the new Rurik, an armored
cruiser of $1,000 tons and twenty-one
knot speed, and most of the feet is
fresh from the builders hands. He
is one of the very few Russian naval
officers who gathered any laurels in
the war with Japan, and his selection
for command of an exhibition fleet

Trees Worth More Than Farms.
From the Burnside, (Ky.) Item.
Recently while repairing an old
fence we found walnut rails, which
had been made probably forty years
ago. Many of them are still service
able. Also red cedar rails, no doubt
as old as the walnut rails. Then we
found white oak rails probably thirty
years old, and then chestnut rails of
about the same age.
When the walnut trees were made
into rails the people had no thought
of the value. There are plenty of
farms in Wayne and pulaski counties
that are not worth one-third as much
as the walnut trees made into rails
to fence them would bring on the
market today. There are other farms,
had the cedar been preserved, that
would be worth ten times what they
are today. There are plenty of
farms, had the oak been preserved,
that would be worth twenty times
what they are today
