In a public lecture has. made some interesting predictions concerning the future of submarine travel. He does not expect that transoceanic ubiharlue travel will become feasible, but for short trips on crowded water ways he expects to sec submarine pack ets successful rivals of surface boats. For Instance, the trip from Dover to Cnluls, dreaded by the hardiest sailor, Mr. Hollaud believes will yet be made with perfect safety and comfort in sub marine boats, avoiding collisions by al ways running one way nt a depth of, say. 40 feet and the other way at the depth of GO feet; no pitching or rolling or seasickness, as tho craft will run be neath tho troubled wntcrs above; mov ed by electricity, kept in the course by fixed trolley cables, while the passen gers Inside enjoy the luxury of dry and quiet cabins electrically lighted And ventilated by lunks of lkiild nlr; neither hot mir coldrbtit enjoying the even tempera I ore of the deep sea. Fogs mul the crowded vraft mi the surface above will no longer be sources of dan ger, and umxt of the discomforts of oriilu.ny sea irarel will lie relieved. Speaking ot ihe'xiibliiarliie torpedo boat, the Inventor iaitk: "When I lie first submarine lorpeiio boat goes Into action, she will bring as face to face with the most pimllng problems eve fnet In warfare, She will present the spectacle, when used In attack, of a weapon against which I here is no de fense. You cm 11 wild 1101 hln ngnlust the submarine bent, not even Itself. You oannot tight submarines with sub marine. You oiinnol see under water; ueacajreu paiiiiot ,BgH under water."

Thlh was his leading impulse and churactur- Utio, and opposition intended with -)uril was but opportunity to develop by achievement, ami tho spirit of the Aryan has gono forward conquering 11ml to conquer, and today rule auii dictates tho industrial and commercial policies of tho world. Though the blood of this donilnniing strain, w hich mny now bo culled 'Anglo-Saxon, ha percolated down through thu cycles of time, 11 has lost none of Its original virtue and power, and the civilized world, recognizing Its authority, bows in graceful obedience to its commands. Tho dauntless pioneer who braved every danger; suffered every trial, en dured cvoiy privation, found here a veritable Eden, locked In tho bosom ol granite hills, luxuriant in over)' native product, blooming In beauty and un surpassed fertility, untouched save by the stealthy fool of the roving savage. He looked entranced upon this goodly .heritage, whose golden fruitage ripened upon every hand, and resolved that here he would pitch his tent, reclaim and make It blossom us the rote ; that he would here build Mb homo, rear his children, plant tha standard of civiliza tion, establish law and order, and culti vate the moral and civic virtues. It would bo too much to attempt to follow the professor in his graphic. and thrilling delineation of the struggles, hardships, obstacles and trying experi ences encountored by the pioneers In the conquest und development ot a now and Btrange laud. Suffice It, that every phase of ploncor life was skotched It. bold relief and shaded and colored as though outlined upon nauvns by the master hand of an urtlst. That the professor Is a man of sterling quulltlet of heart and hcuu was fully uttostcd by the grand swcop, mastery of dotall, and wholesome sentiment and admonition that punctuated his address. Tho effort cllcituted much favorabl comment, and the professor was the re cipient of many congratulations. Lailes' Tailor Suits.
