This famo la duo ^ to tho Salmon's rocent record-breaking <r crulao from tho Atlantic coast to Hermuda and return?a deep-sea voyage fiuch aa baa had no parallel In the hlatory of under water ornft. The crulao to Mermuda was not oniy ma moi cruise by a submarine to a foreign port or out of Bight of land, but It was the longest virtually continuous run ever attempted by such a vessel. The total distance covered aggregated % nearly 1,700 inllos and, as It happened, tho little vessel encountered very (rough weather during a conslderaole Jf Ijmrt of the trip. M Not only did this nautical excur- M Jtelon establish a now record for vos- g pels of the American navy, but it sur- B ^ passed all foreign achievements. Tho host performances previously recordtod by American vessels of this typ? pvas found In the run of the subma- . trine Viper from Cnpo Lookout to Ann- Ej ^ apolls, Md., a distance of nbont 483 knots, and the cruise of a flotilla of . submarines from Now York to Annap- K** olis, a distance of HS5 knots. Anions ^,1. . the foreign performances of such veseels there stands out the refcord of " .. j / OFF-t C?RS rL%n~ English submarines of about tbo same size as the Salmon, which made the coastwise run from Dover to Dundee, a distance of r? 12 miles, and tbo famous performance of the French submarine Papin, wbicb on one occasion made a cruise of 1.200 miles. However thin French Achievement Is overshadowed by tho Salmon's cruise because jnot only was tbo distance of tho latter much greater, but It was an open sea performance, whereas tho Papln cruised along tho coast, and, finally, the French vessel Is much larger than the new American record-breaker, tho I'apln being of 550 tons displacement, whereas tho Salmon Is of but 320 tons displacement. Tho Salmon, alike to most of the submarines i which have lately been added to tho United j ; States navy, Is a development of tho original Holland type of submarine which first gave tho Americans the load In this class of shipbuilding.

The submerged WUCI1 111 I1K"1 CrUlBlIIK CUIIUlllUII UlUVt-n M nil wmjr a small percentage of tlio hull above tho water; tho submerglblo cruises on tho surfaco much llko an ordinary torpedo boat, which it resembles externally. Tho difference In principle between tho two types Is slight, but In construction details It Is very marked. Tho submerged boats aro usually nearly cylindrical with pointed ends, tho general shape being much llko that of a Whitehead torpedo. Submergence la effected by admitting water to tho ballast tanks or by means of Inclined rudders, or both. Submerglblo boats have two hulls, ono Inside the other. The outer bull resembles closelv that of the ordinary tor pedo boat, but bus aa few projections as possible rising from tho general outline, In order to prosent a smooth surfaco when submerged. Inside this there Is a second bull of nearly circular cross-section and as largo as tho shape of the outer boat permits. To effect submergence water first admitted to tho space between tho hulls, and this brings tho boat to tho "awash" condition. Further submergence Is effected by permitting the ballast tanks to fill. When or by whom was built tho first submarine boat will probably never bo known. It la Bald that Alexander tho Great, was lntorostod M submarine navigation, whllo subaqueous attacks of vessels was studied at least aa early as the thirteenth or fourteenth century. M. Delpeuch states that some English ships were destroyed In 1372 by fire carried under water. In tho early part of tho seventeenth century submarine boats were numerous, and In 1021 Cornelius Van Drebbol exhibited to King James I. on tho Thames a submarine boat of his own design. Uy 1727 no less than fourteen types of submarines had been patented in England alone. In 1774 Day began experiments with a subinarlno boat at Plymouth, England, losing his lift? In tho' second submergenco trial. In tho following year David Hushnell built his first boat, with which Sergeant Iajo attacked H. M. a. lCaglo in New York harbor.

UMCLd- S/JM'J NEr\\)?-ST 7 |Bl I ;' TME-J All \b( ! .nil the attack failed only because the screw by vhloh the torpedo was to bo attached to tho Sable's bottom was not sharp enough. Robert. ^il ton's experiments In Franco and America il7'jr?1812) demonstrated that a vessel could 1)0 built which could descend to any given depth ( and rcascend at will. Plunging mechanism was , ilevised about tho middle of tho eighteenth cen- ( tury, but Fulton developed the vertical and horizontal rudders and provided for the artificial supply of air. A form of periscope existed in 1G92 and an improved kind was patented In 1774; In 1854 Davy still further developed it. Phillips' wooucn boat on i-uKe i.ne was crusneu u.> mu water pressure, and the same fate befell Hauer's iron boat IMongeur-Marin at Kiel In lSf>0 In 1SC3 McCllntock and Howgato built a seml-submarlno hand-propelled boat fur the attack on the federal fleet, but It batik four times, each time drowning the entire crew of eight men. In the same year several larger boats propelled by engines were commenced in Kurope, and those at intervals were followed by others designed by Hov gaard, (loubet, Zede, Nordenfeldt, Tuck, Holland and others. Tho French navy began experimenting with submarino boats about 18S5. Tho Gymnoto was built In 1888 and tho Gustavo Zede In ; 1893. Tho Morse was commenced In 1894, but remained uncompleted until 1899, pending additional experiments with the Gymnote and tho Zede. in that year tho construction of submarines was actively commenced, ton being | launched in 1901. All London Is talking about the startling exhibitions of speed given by a little boat ou tho Thames and at Bournemouth. The boat was seen racing up and down the river at what seemed a terrlflr speed, darting along by leaps and bounds, 1nnt as a shark rluiHen a tlsh urml.l I ru' tietweon wind and water. The JmprosBlon Bho left wan ! not so much that of power, for sho wiw Buch a nilto of ii thing, only 2G foot long, n? of vicious and desperate energy. Crowds of people gathered along tho embankment to watch her, wondering whence in her tiny body this overpowering energy could come. It hn.s since been divulged that she is tho Miranda IV., tho latest experiment in skim boats, or, as they are called technically, hydroplanes, by the veteran Knglish inventor, Sir John Thornycroft. Compared with anything near her size, tho Miranda IV. is certainly the fastest craft atloat. Her exact speed is not known, but she has several times done well over 31 knots an hour, and has decisively beaten the Columbine at llourne* mouth, the only other craft which could lay claim to a record In her class. Hut It Is not only for this terrific speed that the Miranda IV. Ib remarkable. Kho Is the most seaworthy craft of her size that has been constructed.

At the bight of her success sho met Lord Francis Hope, lie became Infauated In a twinkling. His mother, the Duchess of Newcastle*, had left him a large fortune, and ho stood to Inherit the dukedom should his elder brother, tlio Duke of Nowcastlo, dio without a son. Young Lord Francis spoilt thousands of dollars In financing May Yoho In now plays, and showered more than ? 10,000 worth of Jewels upon her. Finally ho proposed marriage, and was accepted. They worn married In is;i:;. The llopo family was furious, but Lord Francis de- j dared it was his own affair and that he would b ook no interference. May Yoho had been Lady Francis Hope for seven years.
