down federal control of forests had by
no means ended. lie urged co-opera-
ton with the states 20 save forests.

CHANGES IN SUBMARINES.

(From Engineering Record.)
Some of the best thought of the
naval engineering profession is now
engaged in trying to unity the mo-
tive power of the submarine; that is
to do away with the oil engine and
the battery2driven electric motor,
and to substitute for it perhaps an
ordinary boiler with oil fuel for run
ming on the surface, and the so-called
secondary "soda-boiler" for running
submerged. Many changes are afoot
in submarine design, notably more
minute subdivision of the hull to
withstand the water pressure likely
to be encountered; a change in the
