Improvement In Condition of
Affair*.
^New York, Jan. 12. ? Henry Clew* &
Co., any: The second week of the now
year show* come Improvement over the
first In tone and vo!um? of business, and
Afford# symptoms of a recovering ten
dency In prices. The main element In
fluencing the market has been cuVrency
legislation?its positlou In Congress and
it* prospective result. luterekt In thai
question, however, was quenched by the
vote virtually defeating the Administra
tion bill taken on Wednesday, the more
so lift it was construed as fatal to anv
legislation on the subject at thin session.
The question, nevertheless, is too vital
aud has excited too doep an interest to
be considered as having been finally
shelved; and tb* new Congress may be'
expected to make it a loading issuo.
Wall street will t hero fore keep it? eye
upon it, as an important factor held in
only temporary abeyance, in that view,
tho following suggestions may not bo
inappropriate:
Congress should nn act author!*
ing tho issue of $407.0<X>,<XM) United
States bond*, payable principal ami in
?? terest in gold cofitf the rate of interest
to be 2 1-2 per vent ? atomy rate, not to
exceed 3 per cent, and I think 2 1-2 iicr
. cont will bo ample; these bonds' to ?l>o
deposited in the United States Treasury
as ?ccurlty againu tho $3dQ,00O,0<>O
greenback notes and tho $150,0!X?,<*><>
Sherman law notes, and tho holders of
these notes to have tho option to eon
vort the?o> into said bonds, not to ex
coed $5,000,000 per mouth, coinmeifenig
July 1st next; tho interest on said bonds
to bcglu on the date of their issue, the
notes to bo cancelled as fast as redeemed.
Tho bonds deposited in tho Treasury, ax
proposed, will put tho notes which lliev
back ?s seourity permanently on a gold
basis. No one. cau then claim, as i? now
tho case, that this country i? drifting to
a silver basis. No enlightened American
citizen will entertain any doubt that Ibis
country's obligations, when <inade abso
lutely payable in gold coin by loglslo'tivc
act, are not equivalent to gold itself;
, ,in fact better than tho gold, as the one
earrlot interest while the other docs not.
What makes a bond payable in gold, is
sued by tho United States government,
universally acknowledged to bo an good
ii if not better than anv security issued by
any other nation? lloeauso tho natural
resources of this country are superior to
? Any other. A nation's wealth in re
sources Is what Its government credit
rests upon, more than anything else
Our trouble, just now, is that foreigners
aro Bonding back our corporate securities
to got gold for them. They say, gold
"r payments are probably secure enough
just now, but what certainty -have we ok
to what will be tho caso five or ten
years from now, providing the predciit
legislative acts are continued, when eer
tain evidences strongly point to your
legal 'tender, greenback aud Sherman
law notes being redeemed in silver,
sooner or later; In which event tlwy svill
be only worth, In actiia! value, one-half
of your gold cohl? There it* no denying
the fact that this reasoning is largely at
the bottom of our present gold exports.
Such legislation as 1 have suggested will
do away with all such Imaginary alarm,
as It will remove the eauso therefor.
When the $150,800,000 Sherman notes
aro redeemed, it ivill releaso the bar sil
ver against them now stored in the
Treasury vaults. That silver should be
put to the eredlt of $3,*17,000.(><X) Hland
* 'silver law notes, which will bo -rquiwi
lent to placing them nlso on a gold 1?nsis,
as tho silver coin and bar silver together
will then bo ample security in iits market
valuo for their full protection. All our
government money, after being provided
for ns proposed, will be on a sound and
fnvulnornbie.fputida.tiou, and nothing can
possibly happen to shake confidence in
it from any quarter of the globe. It is
undoniablo that everybody has confidence
in national bank note? nnd admits them
to bo sound in nil respects. Why this
very general recognition? Simply bo
causo they aro backed by United States
bonds as security. Why not therefore
put the greenbacks nnd Sherman law
notes on equally ns sound a basis hy
backing them with the same security?
The next thing for Congress to do will
/be to amend the national hank law as
applied . to their Issue of currency, so
n.% to authorize either national or State
banks to issue notes up to the par value
of any of the various United Stales
bonds when deposited with the comp
troller of tho currency, nnd with n few
oilier trifling changes in the law. ho hh
make it uiuro liberal, nnd thereby induce
the hanks to put their notes out freely
to meet, tho money needs of the entire
country. After the circulating medium
of our country has thus been put on >i
solid basis, a return of prosperity awnltx
us such ns will soon make the United
St it ten of America the envy <>f all other
nations.

IN 5 SUBMARINE' !
BOAT.
Tho submarine boat which Uucle Sum
is golujf to build will realize the dream
of Jules Verne, llu uccouut of the c'fiar
?hu[)ctl Nautilus. which voyaged 20,000
leagues under the Scu. In a pretty fair dev
script lou of tho newest wonder of
acicnco as applied to navigation. Such
secrecy in maintained regarding vessels
_>f this kind which have been newly con
structed abroad, that up to tjato nothing
very definite ban been made public about
them. Tho submarine boat, ns it ac
tually swims today, 1^ ' Uko a lingo fish,
150 feet or moro in length? a fish with
a single great eye for surveying 'the
ocean all around, while the creature it
self is under water, and 'with lungs ea
pablo of holding enormous quantities of
compressed air. Tho fish has fins ? pec
toral fins. on the sides not 'far from tho
nose. They aro horizontal rudders for
diving. The tall lf? formed by'twosiini
lar rudders, to heln in tho same move
ment. Electricity is the 'motive power,
twin screws driving the boat. Though
batteries take up a good deal of room,
they 'make no smoke, require no fuel,
and need no supply of air. Tho captain
ban only to touoh a button and tho craft
responds. 'The interior of the vessel,
lighted by electricity, in almost wholly
occupied by machinery. There, la no room ,
for o dicers or crew to'sleep or eat. If'
they want food thev must take It along |
in the shane of sandwiches. 'Tho boat is |
built for business and not for pleasure.
Cruises aro very short, because at' brief
intervals the craft must return to port
to have her storairo batteries ' filled with
electricity. She can run under water for
fourteen hours, at th'e rate of ten knots j
an hour, before exhausting her supply of j
power. An indicator shows -the* depth at.
which she is running. It is not desirable
to travel far beneath the 1 surface, on ac
count of the pressure of the water, which. I
at 300 or 40<) feet 'down, would Cftish the i
boat. Besides there is no object in doing >
so. As for speed, ten' knots an hour is (
quite as fast ns one could wish to travel
under water. To go' more rapidly would ]
greatly increase the danger. It should
lie remembered that the fish moves In a
liquid 'gloom and stnnetlmew in complete
darkness. llow navigate, then? It Is
simple enough. The Goh has an eye, and
a very wonderful organ 'of vision It Is.
Let us suppose that the boat is inan
oeuvrelng under water in the neighbor
hood 'of a hostile fleet. The captain
wishes to take a view of his surround
ings. He rises to a distance of sit feet
below 'the surface. Presently a metal
tube a foot In diameter shoots up from
the top of the vessel lr,<h enough for Its
upper extremity to e/nerire out of the
waves. The tube contains telescopic
lenses and is provided with a reflector.
The lower end of It descends 'Into the
steering room, where there is a pivoted
circular table covered withia white Cloth.
You perceive, of course, the device la the
I camera obseura. By shifting 'the table
the captain can see for miles all around,
I livery sail on the ocean, every ripple of
I the waves is- as clear to his eye as if
I he stood on the deck of a ship with a good
| glass 5n the open air above. Tt is the
I eye of a lobster improved. Perhaps the
erab serves better for the purpose of sim
ilitude. The crustacean, desirous of
i hiding from an enemy, covers itself with
i sand completely, leaving only its eyes,
each of which is on a long stalk project
ing out. It sees everything, while itse!f
is invisible. TTavintr ascertained his lo
cation and surroundin srs, the captain
takes in bis metal tube and steers by
compass. That instrument in a boat of
steel would be thrown out of nil accura
cy. and on this account fhe craft is built
of bronze, save for some small parts that
must be of the harder metal. Bronze is
j but slightly inacnetic.
I Such a submarine boat carries two
j officers, a couple of marJiineists and eight
i men. These twelve persons must breathe.
and the air which they require is taken
. aboard like so much fuel. It is forced
j info metal walled compartments under
I .<uch creat pressure that a supply takes
, but little room. The bronze fish does not
j have fo }:o to its shore station in order
to have fresh air pumped info its lungs.
I Tt nan do that for itsdC rising to the
surface for the purpose. v However, even
this is not necessary. The fish may take
; breUtV while under the wafer. Suppose
I thai fhe atmosphere on board the boat
has become vitiated after several hours
<if submarine travel. She ascends to
within a few feet of the surface nnd rests
there, while three metal tubes sho.it up
from her high enough for th< tipper ends
to emerge out of the wafer Through
these wind pipes she Clicks in n]| (jlP
fresh aid she wants and stores it away
under pressure in her compartments.
! There in another very important use for
the compressed air. The boat, let us say,
is at the surface of the v. ater. The can
tain wishes to descend. He touches the
button that actuates the mechanism
; which lets wafer info the compartments
! constructed for fhe purpose. This is con
tinued until enough water has entered tho
vessel to aM hut overcome lie,: bnoyancv.
| Then, the boat having headway, the tin
like rudders are used fo make her dive,
j When fhe indicator shows the desire I
depth. She resumes the horizontal. After
a time the captain desires to return to
the surface. All he has to do is tc opm
1 communication by touching a button bo
? tween the eomnressed air compartments
nnd the water-filled compartments. The
expanding air rushes info fhe latter, driv
; ing the water eut The vessel regains
her buoyancy and rises. Xothing has been
said yet as to the trcmbndous weapons
! with which the submarine boat is pro
? vided. From her nose project two IS inch
: torpedo tubes, one shot from which, nc
' enrately aimed, will destroy a great ship
Struck by such a projectile, which ox
' ploden on impact, the most powerful ar
mored vessel ever bullf will sink at once.
The proud battle-ship? a floating m*ss of
j machinery that has cost five millions to
construct ? is transformed in a 'n^nnent
I info an iron coffin, carrying officers an I
i crew to the bottom.
The mighty fish glides away, to come
. up presently to breathe nnd look around
; upon the sccne of the destruction sh< has
! caused? herself at the same time invisible
and safe from pursuit. No better sub
marine host now exists than fhe flusfave
; Zede, property of fhe Republic of France.

tile that is discharged from the tnbts of
the submarine boat. The latter, in fact,
is itself simply a very much enlarged
Whitehead torpedo, made big enough to
carry men and engines. One remembers
Jules Verne's description of tho attifck by/
the Nautilus upon n vessel belonging to
a country to which the stern Oapt. Neino
was. an enemy. He had no torpedo, but
ran ufi"ori"'tho doomed craft with the steel
beak of hi* boat, which missed through
the hull of the groat ship "as a needle
passes through sailcloth." Tlis engines
must have been more powerful than any
since invented. Unquestionably the pres

? would have crushed' the Nautilus like an
I egg shell, no matter how strongly she was
j built. Nevertheless, tho fact remains that
the imaginative ooncontion of flu- French
romancer has been in the miin realized
by the building of a gigantic metal fish
with a telescopic eye. lungs that condense
air and electricity for a motive power.
