J., performs what is claimed for and expected of it, it is cer tain to cause a great revolution in the- present system of naval warfare Many attempts in former years were made by inventors to devise a subma- rine boat which would answer every necessary requirement for such a craft but all such have hitherto, when brought to trial, exhibited some fatal defect which rendered their adoption as an essential feature of the navy out of the question. Within the last fOUI or five years, however, the problem seems to have been solved to a greatei (or less-degree of completeness by Mr. ' Holland, and other inventors as well- About four years ago a Board of Na- val Officers made a thorough examina- tion of the plans and proposals of the different American inventors, with the idea of adopting the best for the Uni- ted States navy. They pronounced emphatically for the vessel designed by Mr. Holland, and declared it’ to be both ingenious and efficient. Thus ii is not surprising that the construction of the boat has been watched with more than ordinary interest by both American and European naval author- ities, and that the latter are said to be eager to purchase it should it perform all that is promised when ready for trial. The value of a craft of the charactex claimed for the Holland submarine tor. pedo boat to this or any other Govern- ment possessing it would be simply enormous. Through its advent the sys‘ toms of modern naval warfare must be in a great measure revolutionized, more, even, than that brought about by the perfecting of the torpedo. The best protected war vessels would be- come almost absolutely helpless against a craft which can make good speed in or under the surf-ace, can rise or sink at will below the point of at- tack, and remain under water for many hours together. The successful operation of the submarine torpedo boat must set inventors to work to do vise some entirely new features in de- fensive naval warfare which Will as l‘.L7ill'l)' as may be counteract the deadly ..;i'onsive device. That they will sue- «ecu in time in accomplishing this to ;.~. least a great extent is almost a cer- ..1.uy: 1n the meantime, the sub-ma- ucut will be the most effective .2. 01 a navy. .-—.-.—-.- A‘ Comparison. “No,” said Mr. Cumrox, pensively. “it isn’t the amount of time that :1 thing takes that regulates its import ance.” “What makes you think of that?” in« quired his wife. “Our daughter.

Noted Structure Recently Erecte'd Over. . the Danube. .. The longest railroadbridge of Eu?" rope, and, in fact, of the who-1e world, was recently opened to traffic with great ceremony, says the Washington Star. , . ' The new railroad bridge over the Danube l'chr at CZervanoda is one of the most technical achievements of re- cent date. For more than nine miles this bridge crosses the Danube proper, and the so-called territory of inunda- . tion, which is annually under water for a certain period of time. The largest spans are over the main i current of the river, there being one of 620 feet and four of 455 feet. The to- tal length of the bridge proper, with- ‘0ut approaches, is 13,325 feet. while the other largest railroad bridges in the world measure as follows: Tay bridge, Scotland, 10,725 feet; Missis- sippi bridge, 10,000 feet, and the Forth 'bridge, Scotland, 7,800 feet. The clear height of the bridge over the main channel is so calculated that even at high water the largest vessels sailing on the Danube may pass under it.

HE comparative merits of the so-called “purely mutual”, system of manage- ment for life insurance companies and of stock management are clearly shown by the following comparisons. We have selected the largest proxy-mutual company in the New England States (the Connec- ticut Mutual, and compare it, with the ETNA LIFE, the largest com— with stock management. _ The Connecticut Mutual, by its annual statement filed with the Insurance Commissioner of this State, January 1, 1897, shows that it has $525,093.79 more than its entire surplus. invested in real estate. (It increased its holdings of real estate in 1896, $1,108,702.75). Its taxes repairs and expenses on real estate in 1896 amounted to $298,675.90, nr$42.911.31 more than its e tire income from that source, hence it appears from the sworn statement of that company that no in- come was realized from its surplus, nor from the $525,093.79 (the excess of real estate over surplus), but, on the contrary it was behind from that source, as shown above. $42,911.31. . Of the ZETNA LIFE’S surplus ($6,711,502.25), it had on the first of January last, as shown by its statement filed with the Commissioner, real estate amount- ing to $486,348.25, leaving of its surplus to be otherw15e invested $6,225,154.00. Its net incume from real estate amounted to $8,150.82. Its surplus not invested in real estate earned in 1896 5 1-10 per cent, or $317,482.85, to which add its in- come from real estate as above, makes $325,633.67 earned upon its surplus alone. The Connecticut Mutual, onthe other hand, instead of earning anything on this part of its assets, shows a loss, as above stated, of S42.9ll.3|. These unfavorable investments afiect the dividends of that company. (Had - the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favorable results, in the above particular, . as the ETN A LIFE, it would have gained in the year 1896, over its present ex- perience, $469,138,25. ): $10.000—TEN-PAYMENT LIFE PLAN—AGE 57.
