this morning was uninterrupted.
At Meloland it was estimated that
the rainfall was slightly less than the
precipitation here.
At caleXico the fall was not suffi-
cient TO lay the dust. A slight shower
fell at l o'clock, indicating that the
storm, which apparently rose in the
northwest, passed nearly over the cen

southeast.
The storm probably reached its
height while passing over Seeley, being
so severe as to interrupt telephone
communication, which had not been
restored up to a late hour this morn

AT Holtville the fall was similar to

FIRST SEA-GOlNG
 SUBMARINE BEING
 BUILT AT GROTON
Greatest Engine of Warfare Of Glass, Naval Experts De-
 clare of "Schley-"

Washington, D. C., March 22=what is said by naval experts to be the greatest and most terrible engine of warfare of her class is being con structed in Connecticut It is the first sea-going submarine. It will be named after Admiral SchIey.
 The contract has just been let and the schley will be ready for action in 22 months It will have the power to accompany the Atlantic fleet.
 The type of submarine which is now being used with great effect by the warning navies carries crews of twelve and fifteen men. The Sch1ey will need thirty men to handle her.
 The design of the Sch1ey is revo1u- tionary in submarine construction. Her upturned bow resembles an old-fash- toned torpedo destroyed rather than a diving submarine.
 The first submarine in the world able to cross the ocean, naval experts say, will be the Schley. She is being built at Groton, Conn, by the Elec- tric Boat Go. at a cost of $1,35O,0 1000. The craft will have a length of 265 feet over all, speed of 20 knots an hour, a displacement of LIDO tons of the surface, and a cruising radius of 1000 miles. This will take her to Europe and back again without re- pIenishing coal. ses-s gs
 Under water the Schley, it is call cu1ated, can go twelve nautical miles an hour. She is expected to accom- pany the Atlantic Fleet anywhere it goes, her Diestel oil engines develop ing 4,000 horse power.
 The oil engine, using internal com bustion, will enable the Schley to dive instantly, whereas, if her engines were of the ordinary steam type, it would take her about half an hour to prepare to dive. There will be free board enough to make the craft sea- worthy under any weather condi- tions.
 In addition to the usual coming tower, there will be an elevated bridge. The battery for use at the surface is to consist of several ma chine guns and guns of small caIibre. The torpedo tubes will be ten in mum Der, so arranged as to discharge tor

BOARD OF HEALTH
 ISSUES REPORT ON
 CLASSES OF RABIES
Explains Symptoms for Peo- ple's Guidance Boy Sent
 to Pasteur Institute.

Merritt Fitch, the youth who was bitten by a rabid dog last week, has been sent to the Pasteur Institute, New york city, following 3, conference between the board of health offfclals and Mayor c. B. Wilson. Ultimately the state will be called upon to pay for his treatment there, which will be SEQ for material used and incidental expenses in the wards The treat ment will require about 20 days and it is believed will prevent death to the boy
 For the benefit of those who do not know the symptoms of hydropho~ bia among animals and men the symptoms are clearly outlined today by Veterinary Surgeon A. c. Knapp and Health Officer B. A. Mcclellan of the board of health
 Rabies is classified in two fornns:' "Durnfbe and Rabid." In the dumb form the muscles of the jaw become paralyzed and the animal is unable to bite. It seeks water but cannot drink or eat and dies.
 In the rabid or dangerous form a dog will at first seek the company of it's master or friends in 8 most pro- nounced manner. Later it will seek to avoid all human beings and will usually journey to the outskirts of city or two. As the disease creeps on
 
 and snap at imaginary objects upon sticks, paper, walls, etc. and if a per son comes in his way it will do the same thing, though it will seldom chase one who runs away. Its eyes have a glaring expression, the tongue 1oIls out of the mouth and the dog will froth profusely. Unless shot it usual ly dies from starvation. A horse bitz ten by a rabid dog will become crazy and unmanabeab1y vicious. Likewise a COW will gore at every person or thing in sight A human being when bitten may not develop symptoms from three weeks to a year following the bite. Then his jaws become rigid and it is first thought that loclzja,w is imminent.

YOUTH KILLED BY
 TRAIN UNIDENTIFIED

At a. late hour this afternoon the body of the unidentified man who was ground to death yesterday by the fast New York express had not been rec ognized, though many came to the morgue to look at his features. He is believed to have been a resident of the East Side, but not in the em- pIoy of the New Haven road.
 The youth had attempted to cross the roller lift bridge of the New Ha- ven road over the Pequonnoek river. He had nearly completed his. periIous journey when the New York express due at Bridgeport at 12:50 o'clock rounded the curve and the big cleo tric engines were upon him before he had been seen by the engineer or he had observed the approach of the heavy train. As he turned and saw the train. the mortified engineer saw him run over the ties in an effort to escape death. Though every effort was made to stop the train, so great was it's momentum that he was over- taken and almost ground in pieces His body was severed across the back and his hands cut off When taken from beneath the train he was dead death probably having. been nearly in stantaneous.
 At the CuIIinan and Mullins mor- que to which Medical Examiner S M. Garlick permitted removal of the remains, 1ittIae was foufg that might identify him, other than scapular about his neck. He wore "a three piece blue suit of good quality, clean outer and under shirts. white col lar and black shoes.
