Navy OFFICIALS
Want GOODIEST
OF SUBMARINES

Neither the X nor the L types OF
submarines have been accepted by the
Navy Department. The K boats have.
done some splendid work on prelimin-
cry trials, but the builders are not
ready to submit them to the final test.
The L boats have not taken a prelim-
mary test, and will not until the con-
tractors have made some changes in
them. The secretary of the navy is
exercising the greatest care in inspect
ing submarines, insisting that all
should come up to the letter OF the
governments specifications. He be-
lieves that as the submarine is still
in the experimental stage the govern
ment should be protected against any
defects that develop in the boat. 1t is
understood that the chief trouble is
with the defective storage batteries.
Despite all the claims of the manufae-
turers the battery problem has not
been solved. In some quarters it is
believed that a dependable submarine
will never be obtained until a single
unit of power is developed.
The Navy Department is making
some experiments in this direction,
and one of the old submarines will be
equipped with what is known as the
Neff system of propulsion if authority
can be obtained this session from
Congress for the expenditure of suffi-
cient funds to install the new system
of power.-Army and Navy Journal.

Although President s. Chichester
Lloyd, OF the local Aquarium Society. has
never mentioned that goldfish should in

of Alfred Russell was set on fire through
the presence Of a globe OF the fish on a
window sill.
Early in the day the globe had been
placed near the window. When the rays
OF the afternoon sun concentrated on the
globe, It acted in the same fashion as a
magnifying glass would do, If used as a
sun glass" The rays set fire to bol-
ster on a nearby bed, and only the
prompt discovery OF the flames prevented
q costly fire.

reused the neighborhood OF the Macy
home. at No. 81 West Fifty-sixth street,
only to find, after an hour or more. three
women who had been imprisoned in the
house elevator. where they had been held
for five hours.
The women are recovering from their
experience today. They were unhurt, but
on the verge of nervous prostration when
discovered.
Young Mr.. Macy arrived late from a
dinner. supposing himself alone in the
house, his parents having gone to Scars
borough. where he was to follow them
later. He was examining some Christmas
presents which had arrived when he
heard the burglar alarm.
To think. with Mr.. Macy was to act,
and believing his home had been invaded
by robbers he dashed to a public tele-
phone, called a police station and Po-
licemen Saloman and Lyman were soon
at the Macy home.
Policeman Saloman, who was once a
sailor. Skinned" up the front of the
house to a window which was partly
open. Young Macy then followed the
policeman's example.
Soon after the burglar alarm rang
again. This was repeated several times
until finally. as they were searching the
second floor, they heard what seemed to
be women's voices. These sounds were
traced to the elevator, which was found
to be stalled between the second and
third floors. .---- ..---..- .--.
