treasurer; o. p. Austin, secretary;
John Oliver LAG associate ed
itor! Frederick B. Eichelberger, as
sistant treasurer, and George w.
Hutchinson, assistant secretary.
The report OF the director and ed
itor reveals the fact that no other
organization in the world whose aims
are purely altruistic as are those OF
the National Geographic Society, is
growing as rapidly as this organiza-
ton, the net growth during the last
year having been 10S, 157.
Founded with its object "the in
crease and diffusion OF geographic
knowledge" some notable work has
been accomplished recently by the
society, through It's various investi-
cations, in adding to tho worlds
store OF geographical information.
Under its auspices and those of Yale
university, the Prof. Hiram Bing-
hams expedition to Peru unearthed
the famous lost Inca city, of Machu
Picchu probably built 1000 years
ago, and has undertaken exhaustive
studies of the first civilization Of the
New World. These studies point to
a marvellous past development in
what is called the New World" and
what. after all, may be the home
where earth's first culture Graded.
The society has maintained an ex-
petition in the field for three years
Investigating the glaciers az Alaska.
and its report upon ice and glacial
conditions in this primary home OF
great glaciers is one OF the most COM
prehensive ever made. The largest
ice stream in the world. outside OF
the polar regions, are to be fSs:nu
in Alaska, and the variety of condi-
tions under which they were studied
here have given something of pic
ture that obtained during the Ice
Age Of the world.
In the diffusion Of geographic
knowledge, the activities of the soci-
ETY. have been various and unremit-
tant, no effort being spared in the
endeavor to bring the ."wide-wofss
into the homes OF all the people.
Maps and works of geographical inn
portance are constantly issuing from
the societyss press, while geographic
information gathered in all parts OF
the world and investigations made in
every land come to the society in a
great mass of material which Is pre-
pared and issued for its members in
a monthly publication. Besides
these branches Of the society's work,
a great wealth Of geographic infor-
nation in connection with matters Of
the day Of interest to the people OF
America is prepared and distributed
while tons OF thousands Of inquiries
from members and others upon geo.
graphic and allied subjects are re-
ceived and answered each year.

just north of Staten Island, in New
York harbor. AS Bushnell was not a
recognized belligerent he instructed
Sergeant Ezra Lee in the operation
OF his craft and this gallant officer
made the perilous attempt.
At night he was towed by rowboats
almost to the Eagle. then sank and
managed to work the Turtle under
the frigate but It was not possible to
fasten the bomb to the copper bottom
of the vessel and the tide carried him
away.
All thought that Lee had lost his
life but after hours OF heart breaking
work at the oars he managed to make
his way back to the Americans. Mean
while the bomb had drifted away and
exploded where It did no harm except
to frighten the crews of several Brit
ish ships half out of their wits.
The Nautilus.
All this was in 1875. Twenty-foui
years later another American, Rober
Fulton, inventor of the steamboat
produced the most successful subma
rine boat known up to that time. Ma
lpoleon Bonaparte, then first consul o
France, had given Fulton 10000 franc
to perfect his invention and the in
lgenious American had devised a cigar
shaped craft 21 feet 4 inches lon
and capable Of holding several men.
The hull was of copper with ribs o
iron and when navigating on the sur
face It was propelled by sail fitte

surface he saw that the current had
carried him far downstream so he
plunged again and returned, under
water, to the starting point. During
this trial the only light he had was
given by one candle and among other
improvements he Immediately installed
plates Of glass to let in a certain
amount of light while submerged.
Shortly afterwards, at Brest, he
sailed out Of the harbor and while
throngs watched him from shore and
from vessels, he suddenly lowered his
little sail and disappeared beneath the
waves. on this occasion he remained
down five hours but nevertheless the
French government declined to pur-
chase his invention.
All these early submarines were
propelled by oars or by paddle wheels
which had to be operated by hand ol
by treadmills, and it was this mechan
ical imperfection in means of pro
pulsion which was for the most par
responsible for their failure.
Another drawback was the lack o
means for exit or ingress of bodies o
objects while submerged. DR.. Pay

She was a cigar-shaped craft, manned
by Lieutenant Paine and eight volun-
teers. During her first trip she was
sunk by the wash from a steamer and
Lieutenant Paine, who was standing
near hatch, was the only man TO
escape.
Another crew volunteered and
Paine again attempted TO use the
David off Fort Sumter, but she turned
over and sank, the lieutenant and two
others saving their lives.
The Cooper river was the scene Of
the next trial and again the vessel
sank, drowning nine men. But there
were plenty of Confederates brave
enough and eager to try 1t again, and
Lieutenant Dixon of the Twenty-hrst
Confederate Infantry and crew of
men who smiled at death, volunteered
to sink the Housatonic in Charleston
harbor.
On February IT. 1864. the David
stole out of the inner harbor by night,
and submerged, steamed close to the
lHousatonic. One Of the crew of the
Northern vessel saw the strange look

small rowboat, gliding ste d y
through the water toward the ship.

He did not know what it was but
he spread the alarm and guns on
board the Housatonic were trained on
, the David to no effect. The entire
craft. with the exception of her iron
: coming tower, was so far below the
. surface of the water that shells could
not harm her.
I A huge torpedo was fastened to a
= spar in the bow of the David and as
- the weird craft smashed into the
e Housatonic there was deafenine
z roar. A column of water reared II
i the air. The Union ship reeled from
the shock, then settled like a watel
sogged log and before her consoru
y could send aid, she sank.
e 1t was thought that the David he'
4 escaped, but when the wreck Of th'

This boat could not dive and rise
like modern submarine. II crawled
along the bottom of the water and
as the depth increased finally became
submerged.
All the earlier submarines were
constructed OF wood and Il was not
until 1894 that Father Mersenne, a
monk OF the order OF Minimes, sug-
gested the use OF metal for the hulls.
He also declared that the only shape
for submarine boat was that of a
fish and that both ends should be
spindle shaped so that the vessel
could go In either direction.
