Monkeys in HeraIdry.

11H HREE monkeys figure in the coat
of-arms of the Earl of Leinster
They stand with plain collar, chained
The motto is 'Crom-a- boo. which
means ITO Victory An interesting
story pertains TO this device. which
was adopted in the year 1916 by John
Fitzthomas Fitzgerald.
When this Earl of Leinster was an
infant he formed one of the residents
of Woodstock. now belonging to the
Marlborough family. There was hre
in the castle one night, and III the con-
fusion that prevailed the child was
overlooked When he was remembered
those who dashed for the nursery found
it in flames. The infant was. however.
soon found in one of the towers,
ella asped i'll the arms OF Il big ape, which,
with considera BILE courage, had fought
its way through the smoke and flames
in order to rescue its young friend. II
had carried The child to the top of one
of the towers. which, its intelligence
told it, was the safest place in the
burning structure.
In recognition of this act of devo-
tiou the earl. when he attained man
hood, actually discarded the family
coal of arms and adopted the monkeys
for his crest, and the family has re
tanned it to this day. This, 1t has been
pointed out, is the only known instance
of the admission of the monkey into
the select circle of animals in heraldry

greater visibility of the steam and the
longer time required to prepare for
submerging Experiments in France
with small steam-driVen submarines
have not been very successful.
These are questions not yet deter
mined; indeed, the plans are far from
ready. Many involved calculations
must be worked out and many expert
ments must be made before the haNai
engineers can satisfy themselves that
the plans which their creative lmaglna-
tion has conceived will produce the re-
suits twenty-fve-knot submarines
which Congress has authorized and d.
rected.
The DESIGNER must give the utmost
thought and study. based on certain
principles and modified by the lessons
to be learned from European waters;
in order to produce n type Whlch VIII
lead all others and meet the purposes
for which they are intended. namely:
defense of the harborS ana coasts OF
continental America and Its lnsular
possessions. 1t is possible that II called
upon to enforce the Monroe doctrIhe
they may be employed to defend the
coast of some of the South American
republics.
Submarines are of two classes The
coast defense boat is about loo feet
long and of 500 tons displacement. pro
PEELED on the surface at the rate or
thirteen to fifteen knots by heavy oil
burning Diesel engines. and. when sub
merged, at the rate of ten to eleven
knots by electric power from storage
batteries 1t has a surface cruising
radius of 1000 miles. with crew of
twenty officers and men. The second
class called fleet submarines, none
of which has been launched in any
country, is much larger. the only one
under construction having a length of
over $50 feet, a displacement of over
1000 tons. an estimated speed of over
twenty knots on the surface and ten
to eleven knots when submerged, with
a cruising radius of at least 5000 miles.
AS far as known this country is the
only one which has even contracted
for these.
Up to the outbreak of the European
war no one treated the submarine with
much respect, except the few officers of
lower rank who had commanded and
knew them, and the very progressive

their boats. while under water, to their
destination.
But this time of running is not the
limit of its underwater endurance,
which may be three days or even longer.
Indeed, it is not unusual for one to rest
on the bottom for a day or more to wait
for bad weather or some other trouble
on the surface to pass away.
1t is said that last fall an English
submarine was lying in this position
on the bottom of the Baltic when, for
some apparently trivial reason. one of
the officers told the captain he would
like to go to the surface. His COM
mander, good naturedly, said they
would go up and look around The
first thing that came into their peri
scope was a small German eunboat ly
ing directly across their bow, within
easy range of their torpedoes. One
shot was enough. OF course, the sub
marine was in great danger. for if the
gunboat had seen her first a shot from
the quick -firers might have put the sea
serpent out of commission.
1t is supposed that the most famous
of the submarines came to its end when
her gallant commander took the daring
chance of deliberately coming to the
surface in the midst of an English
squadron and opened torpedo fire upon
them. Unfortunately for him. he
missed his first shots, and. before lie
could submerge, an English dread
naught cut him down.
1t is said that as the great prov went
into the broadside of the submarine d
little crunching sound was heard. and
by the time the big boat had gone her
length not Vestlge remained of the
