SUBMARINE MONITOR.

The submarine monitor is the name of an invention by J. H. L. Tuck, an old Califor. nian. It is designed for usein navar war? fare and harbour defence. It is a cigar shaped steel boat, thirty feet long, with six feet breadth of beam and six feet depth of hold, and is propelled by electric motors. The monitor is manned by a'captain and, a crew of two men. The captain, equipped in a suit of submarine armour, is stationed 6$ deck. He has the free use of his hands and arms, and although invisible himself, caq see distinctly any objects around aM above him, and can communicate with his men by telephone. Seated in the! stern of the boat is the helmsman, who, by means of a horizontal fish-tailed rudder; controls the course of the monitor, and by observing an indicator, which, Jf ij front of him, can tell her exact depth.-under the water. The third man is stationed at the pumps. He regulates the ballast of the boat and sees that the captain is properly supplied with air. At any time that it is required he can raise the monitor to within fifteen feet of the surface, and take in a' stock of fresh air without making any suri face demonstration. It is claimed for the boat that it can thus remain under water for an indefinite time, sail wherever it wills anii rise to the surface or sink to any depth at the pleasure of its captain. In theeventj of war the invisible little monitor wouldi after sailing about and taking observations, rise under the keel of a vessel, noiselessly attach its explosives, fire them by elec tricity, and then, guided by tho indicat°>'j retire to a safe distance until the hostile ship was • blown out of the water. The, plan of the monitor has been highly recom mended by naval officers and engineers, aJid it is claimed that, with the services of two of these boats, an attack on a harbour bjf any naval fleet in tho world could bo suo« cessfully resisted. , ,-.i
