SUBMARINES,

Since the exploits of the Gustave. Zide during the French manceuvres, the subject of sub- marines or, more properly, submergible boats has been well to the. fore. In the August number of the Monthly Review Mr. Hilliard Atteridge gives a timely article on the probable tactics of this formidable engine of warfare in the future. It is only a few months ago that our slow moving Admiralty decided at last to experiment with the idea, and ordered 'five vessels of the Holland type. Probably they still regard the submarine as a rather expensive toy, useful for the amusement of Frenchmen, but hardly to be taken seriously by the most important naval Power in the world.

When they had had a gond stort the torpedo-bants would be sent out to divert at tention with a false attack. This is perhaps as plausible a scheme as any. Acting on her own. 'initiative, the submarine would probably attack nt night, and with her dome immersed, so nato do away with the difficulty of finding her way under water and reconnoitting through the perinscope. Or the towing method, emploved recently by the Gustavi Zédé, might be utilized in daylight to bring a submarine, unobserved, ~

Vessels of this kind weigh only about eleven tons, and are lighter and less bulky than the old torpedo boals which were carried in this way by Russian cruisers during the Turkish war. When near the place of action these submarines could be quietly lowered into the sea, and get to work. Finally, for the patrolling of narrow tideway chanaels, where in certain states of the tide a submarine would work under conditions of great difficulty, it has been proposed to lay down a cable, with which the boat could be connected, the method of connection allowing her, of course, to vary' her distance from the bottom. An observing station on shore would supply her with instructions by telephone, and a small boat thus equipped would make matters very dangerous for any party attacking.--Pall Mall Gazette.

PECULIAR PEOPLE.

[BY R. NEISH IN THE Pall Mall Gazette) I do not like peculiar people. By "peculiar people" I do not mean the religious sect, for have never met them; I mean the peculiar people of everyday life with whom one is more or less obliged to associate. Among the men whose peculiarities try and annoy me are those who talk shop. Soldiers are, perhaps, the worst offenders in this way. By "shop" | de not allude to military experience, but the kind of conversation indulged in by the person who wants to know whether you have ever met Ludlow of the sand, or Tomkins of the 94th. As a rule I never have met either of them-and seldom want to. Soldiers, as a class, 1 like and admire, but I very much dislike the beavy cavalry man who thinks every other profession excepting his own "a poor game," and every man in a line regiment "a person of no import-

ance."

on

There are generalities about other unpleasant people in which I could indulge, such as men who talk too loudly, and men whose voices are so weak that you can scarcely hear them, but to describe all the distasteful phases of human nature with which I come in contact would fill a volume.

Barristers inevitably talk shop when they. together, and the only thing is to try and keep them apart as much as possible. I am not greatly bored by their "shop" when it takes the form of adversely criticis ng their judges or police magistrates; but when they argue about some obscure point in chancery law I generally make an effort to escape. 1 was dining te other night with a party com- posed chiefly of barristers and soldiers, and an old General was discussing the South African question with a well-known 'K.C. The latter was laying down the law (as all barristers do, whether they are acquainted with their subject or not) on the military mistakes of the cam- paign and giving vent to some pungent criti- cisms.

There is quite a different species of human being for whom I have an ever-increasing aversion, and that is the bigoted golfer.

Another person to whom I am not at all partial is the man who talks continually ́ábout himself. This kind of man insists on telling you his likes and his dislikes (a thing I always avold) and bints at traits in your character that he would like you to alter, and he, himself, is generally labelled with an insufferable air of self-complacence.
