The submarine boat, according to tbe popular idea, is a moat modern device, falling into the flying machine. wireless telegraph age. As a natter of fact, the submarine of 'oday has yet to demonstrate its merits as a fighting craft, though theo> reticaily it could accomplish wonV, ders. Though boats of ttiis kind / were owned by the United State*. ! Russia and .'span, not one went in'o I action during either the Spanisa/ Ame'lcan or the Riispo-Japanese war. .; wheie.is, ?i long ago as 18G4, a submarine torpedo boat did go into action. attacking and sinking a manof-war. This distinction, says Harpers Weekly, belongs trt the Confederate .< States submarine Hunley, and crude ami imperfect as was that strange craft, its general plan has been followed in the most modern submarines. The Hunley was constructed In the Iron wotks of I'arlts & Lyons, at Mobile, Ala. For iter hull the ouiiiM-is useci viiiai was must available? an ordinary cylinder boiler, forty-eight inches in diameter and twenty-five feet long. The limited interior space was Btill further restricted by partitioning off compa.vioentn for water ballaBt, the tanks being filled and emptied by valves. Heavy pieces of iron were bolted to the keel in such manner that tlioy could be detached by the crew from flie insldo in case it should become necessary to rise quickly to the suiface. The screw propeller was attached to a shaft running through the boat. On this shaft were set tight cranks at different ancles. These cranks were grasped and worked by the men, who s-t upon the port si le. the shaft being supported bv brackets on the starboard. 80 con lined was the spare that when the nien were In their places it was Impossible 10 move from one end of the boat to the other. The commanding officer's position b wac in the bo\v,#whence he controlled the rttdder and the two Iron fins which sent the boat up or down. The officer also attended tho torpedo, the total armament of tho boat. This wag a copper cylinder holding about ninety pounds of explosives, fastened npon the end of a boom twenty-one feet long, which extended from the nose of the craft. The only means 01 securing a fresh supply of air after the boat hid dived was to come to the surface and remove a hatch cov r. u|M'u i uu i uiii|mci k'ii ui irp munley At Mobile, it was decl led that Charleston harbor offered the best field for operations, and she was accordingly moved to *tiat rity by rail. Thnarrative of her subsequent eareei ts brief, hut thp story plows with heroism and devotion. Despite the strange .nature of the raft, it was not found difficult to secure r erew, and all was soon ln readiness for an expe'ltion against the blockading fleet. The crew took their places, the hatch covers were About to he bolted ln place, when, while still alongside the dock, the hoat was swamped by a heavy swell. And every man aboard was drowned. She v. as raised, and another crew ' volunteered. Again, and In almost the same manner. the boat was swooned at the dock, six men perfahlnp. Ai.er thla occurrence the boat was tamed over to her builder, Capt. Munley. and a volunteer crew from Mobile, m?n who had assisted ln her fcullding. were more or less familiar with the craft, and who, hearing of the two disasters at Charleston, had hastened to offer their services.

The men took their places, the hatch cover* were bolted down, the lin*.-< were cast off, the boat moved away from the dock and dived gracefully mid the cheets of the spectators. Mlnut's pissed, then an hour, but the Submarine did not reappear. Ffpon Investigation It was found that the boat h i I driven her nose Into the soft nind of the bottom with such force as to render it Impossible for the crew to back of and rise to the nrfnco. All had died from suffocation. The llunley was raised and prepared for service again. Already she had claimed twenty-three victims, hut s fourth crew stepped forward Instantly wh"n a can for volunteers was made. No further trouble was experienced. and thla crew spent some time In getting thoroughly acquainted with the boat and her possibilities. practicing and rising. It was tonnd that In comparatively smooth water It was possible to make a peed of four miles an hou", but 11 the water was rough not nearly so good time could be made.

One of the most remarkable criminal outbreaks that has ever occurred In England took place in London in broad daylight Tuesday not far from the heart of the city.

Six of the desperadoes were burned to de-itli in the ruins of their improvised citadel. A London dispatch says the eas>t ?n 1 was thrown into great excitement by u pitched battlp between s vevil hundred police and a band of men suspected of being the murderers and the friends of the mur't *-i r?j of thre policemen w ho were killed recently by anarchistic burglars. The inspected ones, the nuiubers cf which it !s not known, occupied a house in Sidney street, a narrow thoroughfare. The police, discovering their headquarters, surrounded the place and were met with i volley of shots from within. A rapNd exchange of shots followed during which two detectives were shot, one seriously. The police after locating their men and anticipating trouble, had ordered the houses in the Immedinte neighborhood vacated before daylight and throwing a line of officers around the square, allowed no one to npproarh within a hundred yards of the scene of the expected battle. The police lines had been drawn sn tight that it was Dotieve.l tliat the in mites of trie house hud no chance to escape. The police were satisfied tint the place contained the two murderers wanted and they had also sitisfie I themselves that the assassins hid fortified their home and were supported by a number of friends. Whenever the officers approached the house a volley of bullets spattered the pavement. A detachment of 60 men with one officer and throe i non-commissioned officers of the : Scots Guard from the Tower arrived i later and were served with ball earj tridves. They fired a few rounds Into the building. There was a lull for five minutes and then the besieged replied. It was impossible to estimate the number of persons in the building as they were armed with magazine rifles, Mausers and Grown.ngs and fired with groat rapidity. Last week the authorities were in formed that men closely rescmblinc the burglirs ha 1 rented rooms in the Sidney street house. Preparing tor a raid on the house, the police Atised the tenants in the ne:ghb>J ng houses to quietly remove from *hilr honms durlnr the night. l>e ectlve Sergeant Lesson was exam ning the AMspecte I building front tho?ar when he was shot. HI* brother filcers helped him up a ladder an over a wall at the back of the yard adjoining, while the men In thu house contluued to fire upou th? party. As the situation became more ser ous the thousands of onlookers wer* 'driven back rnrt -? rledly cleared for a ra dins of half ? mile about the scene of action. The soldiers kept tip a fuailade directed at the windows or the house and the riien within reipon'ed continu ously. Meantime loads of straw wen hurried to the place for the purpose of starting a Are and smoking out the besieged men. Piles of straw were lighted near the buildings and the flames either spread to the house or the anarchist? themselves set to t^e building, The'fire brigade was then summoned and reached the scene at 1 o'clock that afternoon. The flre fighters divided their energies between trying to put out the blnze and trying to flood out the outlaws by streams o! water thrown through the windows.
