LARGEST Submarine 1eino euiI.,

Washington, April 26.-Many Of the
important details of the construction
and armament of the Schley, the
largest and most powerful submarine
in the world. now being designed for
the United States navy, are confiden-
tial, but it is known that in two re-
spects she will be the superior of any
other submarine. 1t is expected that
she will be the fastest vessel of her
kind ever built and will carry more
torpedo tubes and deliver q larger pro-
jectile than any submarine now afioat.
The new submarine Is to be of the
largest ocean going type. with a length
over all of 200 and a beam of IL feet
and 1000 tons displacement. She win
carry oil engines designed on the Diesel
principle and will be able to make
twenty-five knots on the surface and
from ten to twelve submerged.
The giant submarine is being named
the Schley, in honor Of that famous
naval hero.

Hun, Kanaaroos by Auto.

Sydney, Australia, April 21.-A new
form of real sport has been discovered
I'm notwithstanding kangaroos by
motorcar.
The mere chase alone Is said to be
productive of many thrills, calling for
a fast a guided by an adept hand.
To pilot a motorcar through the open
country. over fields dotted with rabbit
warrens and bunch grass bunkers at
a speed of forty o forty-five miles an
hour calls for steady nerves, a cool
head and consummate skill.
AS the shooting Is done over the side
of the car the man at the wheel is
forced to maneuver his craft much
after the fashion of a man-o-war in
order to give the rifles q chance. The
hunters shoot from a humping, sway
ing seat at a target which moves as
fast If not faster than the car. The
range varies from fifty to 100 yards.
The fact that q prolonged drought
had made the kangaroos q pest in the
vicinity of water places caused the
automobile owners to offer their servi
ices and their cars toward Kidding the
country of numbers of the troublei
some animals. Heretofore 1t had been
found exceeding difficult to bag the
creatures without persistent and ex,
pert stalking. Kangaroos will run for,
ty-five miles an hour with injuries that
would stop a human being in his
tracks. A wounded roo can easily out
distance the fieetest horse.
