Peter C. Yorke also spoke briefly following the address by Mr. Adams. The exercises opened with organ music by Robert Harrison. Catholic clergymen and prominent laymen occupied the stage. The for long continued applause. The aud! ence was large. Father Yorke introduced Mr. Adams, speaking briefly and paying humorous | tribute to the orator’s lecture on theaters, | which was calculated to induce even grim Bishops to make less severe rules about theater-going. Mr. Adams said that as he crossed the mountains coming to California his fore- most w was to hear Father Yorke, whose thunders had been heard on the Atlantic Coast. He was grateful to Rev. Mr. Parrish, who had telegraphed to his (Adams’) old friend Johnson. He woul have bet dollars to doughnuts that he could tell what Johnson's answer would be. The speaker read part of a letter | from his_friend Bishop Moreland, who wrote: ‘“‘More pow to your elbow, old man, even if I can't congratulate you on | your conversion.” At the end of the let- ter was a statement that “Parrish is an honest, conscientious fellow. Mr. Adams said that_he took Bishop Moreland's word about Mr. Parrish. He | could not deal with the latter directly | for diplomatic relations had been severed. | He would have to follow the example of | great powers that deal through third par- | ties and take the public into his confidence | and so invite Mr. Parrish to dine with | him a restaurant and there bury the “ hatchet. | After this pleasantry Mr. Adams er ! tered upon his theme and carried the au- dlence with him for an hour. He said that Catholics discovered America, and two men, who were really named Joe Maguire and John Moran, although’ they | | were disguised under Spanish and ! :lian names, were the first to land in tt rty of Columbus. . By right of prior ; sses- | ston, unless it could be shown that the | had 'ceded their rights, the Magulres and Mo||"ans were entitled to hold the country still. | Much of the discourse was given to cen- sure of “namby-pamby dude Catholics Mr. Adams recounted historical fact the writing of Magna Charta and its sig- nature by Catholics, and said that when religious persecution was rife in the colo- nial days in New England and New York Catholics alone ~were tolerant. The speaker quoted Charles A. Dana's state- ment that 52 per cent of the Revolutionar: Army were Catholics, and traced the his- tory of the United States, and said that while it was true that man | Catholics looked upon Catholics with sus- | picion of being un-American in their | pathies, it was the fact that Catholc | ever been ready to die for this | ment. Jt was strange if they meant some time to destroy it. The basis of mod- | ern civilization was the home. The Cath- olic church, which opposed the evil of di- vorce, was the friend and supporter of the home, Father Yorke said that Mr. Adams had struck the keynote of the Catholic Truth Society when he had said that Catholics needed to get a good opinion of them- selves. Something een’ done toward telling the Catholics of San Francisco that there was some difficulty for th of their faith in America, as they were in a minority and could not introduce the thumbscrew 'and the inquisition vet (Laughter.)

An- | other Ingenious method of submergence is by a change in volume, which may be ac- complished by the use of water-tight pis- tons. This, however, Is only a particular way of admitting water ballast. Although much popular enthusiasm recently been arou in France by performances of two or three boats, | may leave them without further « tion and pass at once to the consideration has the we seTip- of the boats which have the most in for us—those of Holland and of Lake The Holland. There have been three Holland boats. The first was a very small one, holding but one man, who propelled the boat by working the screw with his feet while h reclining in a very uncomfortable positic The boat was oniy two feet high and less than two feet wide. The second, known as the Plunger, the largest of the three, is complicated by a great deal of machinery. The third is the one of which have heard so much in the last three years. The appearance of this boat at once sug- gests the whale. It is fifty-five feet long ten feet in diameter and circular in sec- tion.

In her offi trial before the board about a year ago she made several suc- cessful dives and ran for a considerable distance ten feet below the surface with searcely an appreciable variation from the course. The course, when under water, Lis largely a matter of guesswork, as the compass inside a steel boat is of little or no service. The proper function of a submarine tor- pedo boat is said by experts to be, to act one part in a scheme of harbor defe or to clear an entrance of mines.

Liguid air may possibly be serviceable for such purposes. Methods of Propulsion. The submarine hoats of a century rere propelled while under water by the sides with water-tight joints of oiled Jeather, and could be feathered or turned edgewise on the returp stroke. What kind of a wheel was used is not clear, but it probably was not a screw. Sinee the invention of the screw, however, all boats have used it. In some of the earlier screw boats no motor was provided and the serew had to be turned by hand. The boaf used with ultimate success by the Confederate forces in the Civil War was propelled in this way.
