for building a submarine boat
1t was in 1896 that, with his plans
completed. he engaged a shipyard at
Elizabeth anad began the construction
of the Holland No. 8. After a, year
and a half of labor the boat was
ready for its test. She was So feet
in length, with a 1O-foot beam, a
displacement of rs tons, and could be
propelled on the surface by a gAso-
line engine at a speed of eight knots
an hour, while her electric motor
gave her a maximum speed of five
and half knots when submerged
Later trials showed that the Holland
No. could remain under water for
a week at a time without danger to
the crew. In this respect the Ho1-
land boat was a vast improveme nt
over the French, Swedish, English,
italian and Spanish underwater craft
which preceded her, and marked a
new and successful era in submarine
construction. Holland wanted to pit
his tiny, craft against Cervera's fleet,
but permission was refused. In 1900
he sold the boat to the United States
government, and she was retained in
the navy until last, year, when she
was sold. for 81, 007 and consigned to
the scrap heap.

SUBMARINE AN
IRISH. INVENTION

While the submarine boat, the
Edeadly ''stingaree'' of the deep which
has claimed SO large a toll in ships
and Aveafduring the present war, has
been1adeNeloped to its present effici-
epcy by many minds, the majority of
naval experts accord to John P. Hol-
land the honor OF having initiated the
modern successful dndersea craft
John p. Holland, who died shortly
before the outbreak or the present
war, was an Irishman, and his origin
al purpose in 4inventing a submarine
was to wipe out Great Britain's fleet
rule ~ TAteE III ne he abandened
that project, but the Germans, i'm
proving on his ideas and construc-
ting a great fleet of undersea DoaIs
which in size were as giants to Hol-
lands infant craft, have sought to
put into execution the plan which
animated the Irish inventor.
It was on St Patrick's Day in 1898,
just eightetenl years ago today, that
the original Holland submarine
christened the Holland No. al
though it was the first successful is
sue of Hollands 1abors-made its first
plunge beneath the waters of Staten
Island Sound Thousands of people
had gathered along the New Jersey
shore to witness the test OF Hollands
invention A majority of them were
Irish, and the green flag of the Elmer
aid Isle was much in evidence The
inventor himself was in command of
the boat when she made her first dive.
AnxiousIy the crowd awaited the re-
APPEARANCE of the boat,|and aften ten
minutes had passed uneasiness was
manifested by many. AT the end of
twenty minutes some of the women
began to weep, while a number of men
began saying ST told you So When
half an hour had been licked off pFac-
tica1Iy everybody abandoned hope for
the boat and its crew. A few min
utes later the Holland No. 9 reap
peared on the surface, and a mighty
cheer went up and echoed for miles
along the Jersey shor IS Men shouted
and laughed and danced, and many
women became hysterical, SO great
was the relief. What they had feared
was to be a tragic celebration OF St
Patrick's Day had suddenly resolved
into a mighty triumph which prom
ised to revolutionize the warfare of
the world
Holland had been in America for
thirty years, when his pioneer sub
marine was given its first trial, hav-
ing left Ireland in 1868, when he was
27 years old. In his native island he
had been teacher in the North Mon
astery at Cork For a time he was
employed as a draughtsman by a Bos-
ton civil engineering firm Later he
settled in Paterson and became a
teacher in a parochia1 school, using
his leisure time to- work on his plans

One Hundred Years Ago.
THE WAR OF 1912.

Among the infinite variety of cir
cumtances which enables us to look
back on the late war of 1912 with
gratitude to Heaven, and with just ex-
ultation there is one peculiarly inpor-
tant, to which a sufficient attention
has not been paid, and which highly
interests the whole family of mankind.
When the war was begun men, of
sound minds, great public spirit and
deep reflection were somewhat appal1-
ed at the fearful odds against us. This
did not appear more manifest against
us in any point than in that of COM
manders.
Those of our enemies had all the
advantage of long experience and
great skill could afford. Some of
them had been crowned with laurels,
acquired in the bloody fields of
France, Spain and Portugal And in
the eyes of the world, they appeared
like so many Goliaths, ready to crush
our little Davids.
Most of those worthless who had sig
nalized themselves during the Ameri-
can Revolution, had been moved
down by the sickle of Time, as the
ripe wheat falls before the sickle of
the Reaper. And the hopes of the
nation mainly rested on men who had
hardly acquired the rudiments of the
art of war
Blessed, thrice blessed be the God
of our fathers. Public spirit, innate
bravery, the thirst of avenging their
country's wrongs, supplied the place
of experience and knowledge 1t is
a most delightful truth, that three
fourths of all our triumphs, by sea and
land, have been achieved by heroes
who were far below the meridian of
Iife-some of them "a, rs, 26 or 27
years of age. It is impossible to ap-
preciate this circumstance too highly,
as it respects not merely ourselves, but
our fellow men generally.
1t shows what glorious exploits may
be performed by freemen fighting

thers-their mothers their sisters
