JULES vERNE'S DREAMS
MarveIs of Romantic Fiction that are
Beina Realized.

Underwater craft have made mark
ed progress since those early days
when the first Holland boat dived
clumsily like a rheumatic pOrpoise.
and the first Lake boat bowled merri-
ly along, like an ocean wagon, on the
smooth floor of the Atlantic between
Sandy Hook and the capes of the
Chesapeake. We have now a fair
fleet of submarines-31 afloat and 2l
building. A squadron Of these invisi-
BILE fighters guards each entrance to
the Panama canal. In size, recent
submarines approach that of small
gunboats and destroyers. Great Brit
ain has six of 1900 tons displacement;
Germany, six Of 1000 tons, and France,
two Of 1,O43 tons. The crew Of such
boat ranges from 80 to 40 men.
Thus far, no nation has ventured
to send it's submarines out to serve on
the high seas. They have been al
ways relatively slow boats for coast
defense, driven by gasoline engines on
the surface and by electric power
when submerged. Now, however,
Jules Verne's dream of the Nautilus,
under Captain Memo, is to be realized
in the advent Of the submarine cruis-
er, which, on the surface in peace and
submerged in action-will accompany
battle fleets on the oceans Of the
world. The British navy is the pio-
neer in this development. While the
details are carefully guarded, the gen.
eral view of naval experts is that the
projected vessels are to be of about
1900 tons displacement and 81 knots
surface speed, and that they will be
fitted with five or six torpedo tubes for
underwater attack and two 12-pound-
er guns for repelling aerial craft. The
submerged battle speed of these YES
sells should be not less thar Is knots.
our navy department is meeting this
advance in the project Of an expert
mental Sea-going submarine, for which
the naval appropriation bill carries an
appropriation of $1.100,000. The chief
difficulty to be met is that Of under
wa.er driving at the high speed de-
manded. Electric propulsion, owing to
| the bulk and weight of the neces-
sary storage batteries, may have to
| be abandoned.
This development, if successfully ef-
fected, fore e-shadows another radical
| change-the disappearance Of the tor
pedo boat destroyer which the subma-
rine cruiser, when in action on the
surface, should replace. In future ma
val actions the combatant vessels
would then be battleships on the sur
face. submarine cruisers below it. and
aeroplanes and dirigibles above, in
which the chief enemies Of the sub
marines would be the aerial cruisers.
From his height the aviator can read
lily detect submerged bodies. owing to
his freedom from the effect of re-
flected light at the surface of the wa

WOMEN ASSASSINS
Gentler Sex Do Not Often Commit Po-
litical Murders.

In the history of politics there is no
parallel to the Paris tragedy which has
resulted in the death of NJ. Calmette,
who was shot by the wife of NJ. Call
lauX. the minister of finance, who
sought to avenge her husbands honor,
Women, happily, figure little in po-
litical murders, although about three
years ago an attemnt was made by a
woman of Los Angeles to shoot con-
gresham who she considered had in
suited her husband who was i'll,
making disparaging remarks about
him in public. Fortunately the wound
inflicted proved but a slight one, and
the woman escaped with a short term
of imprisonment
France, perhaps. has not been so
stirred since the Breton heroine, Char
lotte Corday stabbed that monster of
the Revolution, Marat, in his bath.
But the modern history Of Russian
revolutionaries provides some equally
remarkable stories of heroines Of the
people who have taken upon them
selves the task of killing those whom
they considered the enemies Of prog
ress and liberty.
The most recent case was that OF
Zinaida Konoplainnikova, a Russian
schoolmistress, who on August IL,
1906, shot dead Maj Gen. Min, COM
% 70 Oi
Semenoff Guards, at Peterhof railway
station She was arrested on the spot
and ultimately condemned to death by
hanging, this being the first death sem
tence passed on a woman since the ex-
ecution of Sophie Perovskaya, who
was practically the chief organizer OF
the Nihilist conspiracy which resulted
in Car Alexander II. being blown to
pieces on his way to the Military Rid
ing School in st. Petersburg, on March
/, 1881.
This female assassin was only q
years of age at the time of her eXecu-
ton, but even she was six years older
than Marie Spiridonova, who, fired
with the wrongs of the Russian peas
ant, shot the brutal Governor Dujen-
ocvsky. Horrible tortures were in
hcted upon her in order to force her
to confess the names of her accom-
plices, and ultimately she was tried by
court t-martial behind closed doors and
sent to Siberia a physical wreck.
It was also a female Nihilist who in
1880 assassinated Capt. Schlotouchine,
chief of the Moscow secret police, and
who afterward took her own life

CHAPTER II.
First Days In the Wilderness.

First Days In the Wilderness.
The rain seemed to be increasing.
l saw a wild deer on the opposite
shore. and 1 thought how comfort
able she looked. Then 1 thought how
easy it would be to make plans to
catch the deer or any other deer that
came down to the water. l envied
her hide that morning, 1 can tell you!
Then there came into my mind my
promise to live within the game laws
of the state of Maine. 1t made me
sore to remember how the fish and
game commission had refused me
permit to kill the game 1 actually
needed. They had perfect right to
grant that permit, according to law,
but they didn't see fit to.
l grew revengeful at this thought
because under the circumstances my
lot would be ever so much harder
than that of the primitive man of old.
The first men of the forest were not
handicapped by laws from an out
side civilized world. If the game au-
thorities had given me that permit
my life would have been more COM
Portable during those first few days
in the wilderness.
| didn't wish to harm that old doe
across the lake. but at the same time
l realized that her skin would have
been a gOdsend to me just then.
AS it was, 1 waved my hand to-
ward her, shouting, go ahead, old
girl! Ill get along some way" Then
| turned my steps toward a beaver
dam and left the old doe standing
there alone. l watched the beavers
at work, and later, after l had start
ed a fire. l sketched a rude picture
of one of them on a piece of birch
bark, using a charred stick as cray
on.
The rest of this day was unevent-
full. 1 hadn't got my balance yet. My
thoughts were still confused. AS yet
l did not feel any hunger, so made
no efforts to get food, though I had
not eaten anything since breakfast at
the King and Bartlett camps.
l simply wandered around, not car
ing where 1 went. Because of the
cold and rain 1 started back early
along the trail for the spruce thick
ct, where 1 had spent the night be-
fore.
The second night was a repetition
of the first. spent in alternately walk
ing back and forth and resting. l
didn't suffer terribly, but it was not
altogether comfortable out there with
out any clothes.
With the morning came the sun
shine. As 1 came out into the clear
ing the sun felt good on my body.
! hunted round till l found part
ly shaded spot in among the trees.
l needed sleep more than anything
else just then, so l lay down and in
