 Little Viola Wasterlain and Miss Mary Berubofer gave pleasing cor cert at the Lyric last Friday night. A musical expert might describe it all to the everlasting credit of the perform CTS. but to us the classical productions were remarkable as gymnastic eXhibi- tious accompanied by soft and pleasing tones. However, we will give our word for it., they are both musicians of rare ability, and when Viola played "Old Folks at Home" we almost broke forth into song Viola will soon be eleven years old, and she has devoted eighteen months to violin lessons. These points considered, her productions are truly wonderful, and Viola is mighty nice little girl.

NO NEED OF PERISCOPES
Will Make Attacks by Submarines
Possible When Completely

New York. March 25.-Sub!narine<
will no longer be forced TO risk dcs-
truction by showing their poriscopes.
hudson Maxim has perfected an in
iention that will make possible at
'acks By these underwater fighters
when they are completely Submerged
The invention has been pronounced
W naval officers rs most reyolu-
ionary in character. Submarines Of
20 day are forced TO poke their peri
scopes above the surface before dis
harging :orpedoes.
Only by doing this can accurate
i'm be taken, and only by Using the
periscope or by coming up altogether
an those IN the submarine re sure
hat they are actually cruising in the
direction they desire.
The new apparatus, however, will
change all this. Wheu in use it will
enable the commander Of a submar-
ne to submergc when off Sandy
Hook and remain submerged Until
1c reaches Block Island Sound. And
ne will know without coming to the
surface exactly his location OF the
antire voyage.
'If it works it will increase the
oower of the submarine ! 600 percent
1t least" said naval officer. 1T IS
he one thing needed to complete the
power OF the submarine. for it makes
possible it's attack without allowing
hose in the super Drcad'aught TO
know it's location.
at present, submarines car dis
.harge torpedoes while more than
ono mile away. This gives little
chance Of the victim detecting the
neriscope. it is true. but still it does
give the chance. With no periscope
axnosed. those on the surface will be
totally unable to discern from where
The attack will De launched.
NJ. Maxim for the present Is
keeping his invention secret, and
he refused today to give out. any in
formation whatsoever concerning it.
r is certain however. that the United
States Navy will he the first to De
offered it. Its submarines, thus
eouipped, will become the dread "t
alj the world, nava! experts declare.
