THE INVENTOR OF
The SUBMARINE

It was on st. Patrick.s Day in 1898
that the worlds first successful sub
marine boat, the Holland No. 8, made
it's first dive in the waters Of Staten
Island Sound, and thus effected an
other revolution in naval warfare The
inventor Of this craft was John P.
Holland, q native Of Ireland, who was
born in 1841 and died in 1914. with
in a week Of the outbreak of the great
war in which the terrible possibilities
Of his invention were to be so fully
demonstrated. In his young man
hood Holland was employed as
teacher In the North Monastery at
Cork, but at the age Of twenty -seven
he resigned this position and came to
America. He settled first in Boston,
where he was employed for a brief
period as a draughtsman by a civil
engineering concern. leaving Boston,
he took up his residence in Paterson,
where he was employed as teacher
in a. parochial school. 1t was at this
period that the young Irishman began
to dream of submarine boat. He
was Fenian In his sympathies at
that time, and his idea was to perfect
a craft that should enable the Irish
to sink the British navy and thus
gain freedom for the Emerald Isle.
His ardor in the cause gradually cool
ed, but his belief in the submarine as
a new factor in naval warfare increas-
ed, and by 1896 he believed that he
had solved the problem. He settled
in Elizabeth in the autumn of that
year, and at the Crescent shipyard be-
gan work on the boat which was to
make his name immortal. Early in
1898 the boat was completed and was
christened the Holland No. 8. 1t was
fifty-three feet in length with a dis
placement Of seventy-five tons, and
was driven on the surface by a gaso-
line engine of fifty horsepower, and,
when submerged, by an electric mo-
tor The test made on St. Patrick s
Day in 1898 was successful beyond
the dreams Of the inventor, the craft
remaining under the surface for thir-
ty minutes. Holland sought to induce
the naval authorities to permit him to
enter Santiago harbor in his boat, with
the object of torpedoing Cervera's
fleet, but his proposal was ridiculed
Two years later, however. Uncle Sam
bought the Holland No. from its in
ventor for $4,000. The boat re-
manned in service until 1915, when it
was sold and broken up as junk.

CRENADES IN WAR

The use Of hand grenades as an
implement or war dates back nearly
four centuries, and this deadly wea-
pom remains today, as in the sixteenth
century, one Of the most effective
wecrons of warfare. In the United
,taS4s Infantry Journal there is an ar
ticle dealing with grenades which is
translation from the German mill
tary publication, Militar-Wo chenblatt.
'tHand grenades,'' the article reads.
las an implement of warfare date
back many centuries. History records
their use as far back as 1886 at the
siege of Aries. Up to the close of
the eighteenth century soldiers were
trained in the throwing Of hand gren-

called grenadiers.

half inches in diameter, filled with
powder and provided with fuse.
which was lighted before being
thrown. At first there were few in
each regiment, later entire companies
were former, and still alter every in
fantry battalion had its own grena-
der company, which in the different
armies had precedence over the other
companies at parades and other for
nations.
During the war between Russia
and Japan hand grenades were again
used in great quantities by both sides,
especially in fighting at close quarters,
and so deadly effective were they that
it is not surprising the inventors mind
occupied itself with this means of
combat and endeayored to ADOPT it
to the requirements Of modern war
fare.
''First Of all it was very important

deadly effectiveness with complete

Danish inventor, constructed a num-

thrown by hand. The rifle or how
itzer grenades are fired from a firm
rest such as a wooden stand made from
a rifle placed on the ground and di-
rected at various angles Of elevation
by means of stakes. The mine grenade
is anchored in the ground and dis
charged by electricity upon approach
Of the enemy. In each case they are
veritable death dealers.
'The rifle grenade weighs about
$50 grams. It contains sevepty-two
bullets Weighing 2.5 grams, and sew
enty-two grams of explosives. The
seventy-two bullets cover a, space of
at least forty to fifty square meters.
The rifle grenade may be fired from
an ordinary army rifle at any range
up to about 400 meters. The great
destructive effect of the grenade is
due to the fact that the explosion
takes place Immediately after the
grenade strikes the ground before it
has had time to bury itself in the
soil.
1.-THE 'howitzer' grenade weighs one
kilogram and contains 215 bullets and
a bursting charge weighing zoo
grams. It can be thrown with the
hand forty meters or with a showit-
zer' 800 meters. The 'howitzer' is q
continuance made Of cylinder and
weighs twelve Kilograms. 1t may be
carried like a rifle. The bullets of
this grenade cover semi circular
space OF at least eighty square mrters
and spread only to the front and lat
orally, but not to the rear toward the
thrower. They are, therefore, of es-
pecial value for fighting at close
quarters. They are constructed so
that they may be exploded only after
they have travelled eight meters to-
ward the target.

does not encourage secular festivities,
but 1t has long been the custom
among Latin peoples to make the
day a carnival. In the services of the
church special signs Of JOY are per-
mitted in the liturgy. Flowers are
permitted on the altar, and rose-col-
ored vestments may be worn.
In Paris Mi-Careme has for genera
tons been celebrated by the choice of
a carnival queen, but the war has left
the citizens OF the City OF Light with
scant enthusiasm for such innocent
follies. In peaceful times the choice
Of Mi-Careme queen of Paris is
quite a jolly affair, over which the
president of the municipal council
presides. That fortunate gentleman
has the right to kiss the young
woman who is chosen-a persequite
of office not to be sneezed at, since
the prettiest girls of Paris compete
for the honor, and the one chosen is
always quite kissable.
The lucky girl not only has the
privilege Of riding on the car of hon

the fete committee deposits 200 francs
to her credit in a savings bank. and
milliners and modistes dover her with
their choicest creations, to advertise
their wares. The queen is also re-
ceived by the mayor and by the press
ident of the republic, and custom de-
mands that these gentlemen not only
give her kiss, but also present her
with a more substantial souvenir OF
the happy occasion.

queens of past years have married
