The ves sel he described, "Nau tilus" is almost a counter part of the German merchant submarine, "Deutschland," which came to this country sev eral weeks ago Olt weeks the (ionium undersell limit DeutHchliinil occupied t ho first iKe of eery newspaper In the land, to the exclusion of the .Mexican problem 11111I 11 eotisldernhlu pnrt of the ICuro lieiiii wiir news.

Mr. Churle.s I'. Tower of the New York Tribune has written iui article comparing the IetitKchlnnd with thu Nautilus, the submarine tiont of liiiiiKlnatlou which Jules Verne, the Krent Krench novelist. described In "Twenty Tlidusmid Leagues Under the Sea," published about -in years apt. No doubt many of ou have read the story. It Is a jjrent boy's hook, like "Tom Sawyer" or I-Vnlniore Cooper's "Leather HtockliiK Tales." Mr. Tower assumes that the Nautilus was never destroyed, and that the Deiitsehliuul Is the old boat of fiction rebuilt. He says: "Hut tho .sensation will be the greater when It becomes generally known that Hie boat Is not of Gorman design or build; that she ts really the orlglnnl submarine boat Nautilus, designed by Unit wonderfully sklirful naval architect, engineer and Hclentl.st-at-large, Jules Verne, built and iiuvl Rated over and under many seas by Captain Nemo, and for many years supposed to havo been engulfed In the whirlpool between the Islands of Karoo and Lofoten, off the coast of Norway, In .lune, 18(W; the same vessel, rebuilt In Rome degree and relltted In a (crmnn ship yard, but the Nautilus, as truly as she was the Nautilus when Mie was launched, In 1805 or 1800. "It has been only a supposition that thu bout was lost In the whirlpool, based on the fact that no survivors of her crew, excepting Mr. Aronnnx, who wrote the log on board tho vessel on her sensational nud Miiiiewluit erratic voyage of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under thu Sea,' and tils two personal associates, Con.sell and Ned Land, never appeared In public or ever told any thing to the contrary. Hut It will be remembered that Mr. Aronnax declared In bis edition of thu log, which was published In 187H, that he did not positively know whether tho boat was lost or not. 'What has become of the Nautilus?' he asks. 'Old It resist the pressure of the maelstrom? Doom Captain Nemo still live? "Don't believe It? Why, It Is so thoroughly true as to be nxlomatlc. Head such a description of thu boat that arrived ut Haltlmore on a Sunday evening; then read Mr. Aronnax's logbook; make careful comparison of the description of the Nautilus which Is contained therein with that of the so-called neutschland and dure to say that they are not one and the same vessel. The power plant Is new in part, and In part renewed. Mr. Verno designed the Nautilus to be driven by electric power generated by primary batteries, something that would he out of the question to day, hut possible In tho case of the Nautilus, be cause her owner was a man of enormous wealth and because he had discovered an Inexhaustible, source of supply of tho materials required to renew his batteries. "Tho primary battery was the only available means of providing power for underwater pro pulsion, iih tho Diesel motor, now in use on all Hiibmarlne vessels ns a power plant for use on the hurface and for generating electricity for power to bo uvd under water, had not been de veloped. In fact, ncM'inr the Uermans nor any one else made nny considerable use of the Diesel principle of motor construction until tho Diesel patents hud expired. Hesldes, Mr. Verne hnd no dynamos with which to translate tho power pro duced by motors Into electricity, although ho had the essential principle In tho electric motors with which ho turned his propeller. "And the vessel Is uow ntted with periscopes, nfiwjcmAMi$mArtff(?fv& gztwwv rftv y5rmvood tSTTuc nnro o Q - ,,.r T I w n ft f 2&m .? C.o i 1 a m nai t vuu . w a atm.

If she had been equipped with periscopes In 1800 ami 1807, It Is probable that she would not have been In collision with the Columbus, thu Shannon, (ho Helvetia and other ocean steam Milps during those years, much to the annoyance of their owners and the mystification of tho public. Also, the Nautilus In her reincarnation has wireless telegraph equipment, something which she did not In her early days, because Marconi had not then been born. Kor the rest of It. the Nautilus Is the Nautilus still. "A very full description of the Nautilus Is con tallied In the log ns written up by Mr. Aronnax from the dictation of Captain Nemo. He men tions that the captain showed him tho plans, sections and elevation of the vessel; doubtless the original drawings niiide by Mr. Verne, or perhaps tracings of the originals. If they had been blue prints, Mr. Aronnax would doubtless have spoken of them as such; hut, of course, they were not. as blue prints wero not In use In those days. Tho captain went on: "'Here, M. Aronnax, are tho several dimen sions of the boat. It Is an elongated cylinder with conical ends. It is very llko a cigar In shape, a shape already adopted In London lu sev eral constructions of the same sort. The length of this cylinder, from stem to stern, Is exactly li:tl2 feet and its maximum breadth Is 'M feet, it Is not built quite like your long-voyage steamers, but Its lines nre sulllclently long and Its curves prolonged enough to allow the water to slide off easily and oppose no obstaolu to Its passage. '"When thu Nautilus Is alloat one-tenth Is out of the water. Now, If I have made reservoirs of a size equal to this tenth, and If I till them with water, the boat, weighing then 1,507 tons, will be completely Immersed. These reservoirs are lu the lower part of the Nautilus. I turn on taps and they till, and the vessel sinks. "'Also, when I have a mind to visit the depths of the ocenn, I make use of slower hut not less Infallible means. To steer this boat, following a horbontal plan, I use an ordinary rudder fixed on the back of tho sternpost, and with one wheel and Mime tackle to steer by. Hut I can also mnko the Nautilus rise and sink, and sink nud rise, by a vertical movement by means of two Inclined planes fastened to Its sides, opposite the center of tlotntlnn, planes that move by powerful levers from the Interior. If tho planes aro kept parallel with boat It moves horizontally. If slanted, the Nautilus, according to this Inclination and under the Influence of the screw, either sinks diagonally or rises diagonally as It suits me.' "Set aside the obvious errors lu tho log or In the translation, and the description of the Nau tilus might as readily pass for that of the so called Deutschland us any that havo been printed Look It over lu detail. The Nautilus was ;" feet long; the length of the undersea boat nt Haltlmore Vas "guessed" nt anything from "00 ami some odd feet to H00 feet. Of course as she has bqen rebuilt, tho boat may have been lengthened, to suit modern Ideas. "Hut tho Nautilus had n conning tower, In place of tho present superstructure. The beam of the Nautilus was 'M feet. That of the Deutsch laud Is "guessed" at something less than HO feet. Thu Nautilus was cylindrical In shape; the ves sel that has created the sensation during past weeks Is not quite clludiicnl. In that her top sides are carried up for a space nearly vertical, and then tumble home with an easy curve; or, nt least, It Is so Indicated by such photographs as have come to light. The change was undoubtedly made lu the rebuilding, In order to Increase the carrying capacity; for it Is to be remembered that the Nautilus was not built to carry cargo, and had no great excess or buoyancy. The motive power of die Nautilus was electricity. That of the vessel from Germany Is electricity when Mibmorgod, while for use above water the Diesel engines supply the power. That Is of no Im portance as bearing on tho Identity of the vessel. It Is a common thing In rebuilding a ship to make some changes In the propelling mechanism. "There Is still more to come. Hoth boats or, rather, the same boat In the two periods of her career were was Is fitted up In some degree of luxury. Listen to what Mr. Aronnax says about a room Into which Captain Nemo con ducted him: "'It was a library. High pieces of furniture supported upon their wide shelves a great number of books. The electric light flooded everything. It was shed from four unpolished globes, half sunk In the celling.' And again, In speaking of the saloon, filled with treasures of art beyond price, Mr. Aronnax mentions the organ, of which he says later In the chronicle: 'At thnt moment I heard the distant strains of tho organ, n sad harmony to an Indefinable chant, tho wall of a soul longing to break these earthly bonds." The Organ on the Nautilus. "One may not approve of Captain Nemo's taste In music; some of us may prefer the 'run of mill' music which one may have with u phonograph and a selection of records made haphazurd; hut he was musical, at all events, and had provided himself with means with which to gratify his taste. Hut the organ has given way to a phono graph, with which tho crew of the bout enter tained themselves on the wuy across or under tho Atlantic. And when they were 'full up' on music there was tho library, with fewer hooks than Unit of old, but with Shakespeare as a foundation of literary satisfaction. "Still skeptical? How was the food of tho crew of the Nautilus cooked? Hy electricity. Says Mr. Aronnax: 'Then n door opened Into a kitchen nine feet long, situated between tho largo storerooms. There electricity, better than gas Itself, did all the cooking. Tho streams under tho furnaces gave out to the sponges of platlnu n heat which was regularly kept up and distributed. Thoy also heated n distilling apparatus, which by evap oration furnished excellent drinkable water.' How was the 'grub' of the crew of tho so-called Deutschland cooked? Hy electricity, said Captain Koenlg, although he did not give a description of the cooking apparatus in anything like as full a detail as does Mr. Aronnax of that of tho Nau tilus. The boat that Captain Koenlg commanded was furnished with all the comforts of home, ac cording to tho one man who was aboard of her lu any other than an ofllclal capacity, and who does not consider himself held to secrecy. "It's a clear case. In every essentlnl the Deutschland Is tho Nautilus. In slzo and form, excepting as any vessel may be modified In proc ess of overhauling and refitting, In power plant, excepting as the Diesel engines take tho placo of electric motors for surface propulsion, for economy's sake; In the Intricate electrical equip ment for lighting, cooking and In tho control nnd movement of all parts of the ship; In the means provided for going below tho surfuce of tho water at will, and In returning to the surface nt pleasure; even In the provision for the comfort and entertainment of tho crew, tho Deutschland and the Nautilus are one and the same. Only In the use made of the craft Is there a difference. The Nautilus was built and operated to satisfy the whim let's call It a whim and forget tho tragedy of It all of a man wealthy enough to afford It ; while as to the Deutschland. she crossed thu ocean to bring a few pounds of dyestuffs of which we are In need. If Is the case of a thor oughbred harnessed to an express wagon In his old age." SUPPLY OF SEALS ASSURED Action by United States, It Is Be lieved, Has Done Away With All Danger of Their Extinction. For thu first time lu the history of lliu United States this country is han dling Its own sealskins, a vcondltlon that should have been brought about long ago, but was not, largely owing to tradu secrets connected with the dressing nnd dyeing of the furs, which were possessed exclusively lu I'ng laud. Seal furs aro used more extensively lu America (linn In any other country on tho globe nnd the United States government has done more to prevent seals from becoming extinct than till (he other nations put together. It Is due entirely to our Initiative that there Is now a growing supply of seals from which to draw. The total number In the Alaskan herd now Is estimated at JtOO.OOO, nud It Is believed that 100,000 will be added this summer, after which, un der moderate regulation, there will be little danger of extinction, such us faced the fur-beuiing seals only a few years ago.
