The German government has 12,- 000,000 marks (about?$30,000,000) stored away in its the famous Julius tower at Span- dau, an island at the confluence of the Spree and Havel rivers. . It is a secret horde, known in Baedeker as | "the imperial military reserve fund of six millons sterling. Early Jast yedr it was reported from Berlin, which is only eight mi- leg from Spandau, that the German WAr programme contemplated irip- ling the treasure, but if such a move was made it has not been announ- ced. The Jiilins tower has been shroud- ed in mystery. It was the first used by Frederick the Great as the Prus- glan "war chest," apd them turned over to the empire for the storage ol the $20,000,000 which was a part of the billion dollar indemadty paid hy France after the Franco-German War. Although it bas been estimated that the money would be exhausted in a day and a half in case of actual war, the fund has been reserved for the expense of a quick mobilization of the German army, to pay for hor- ses und supplies already contracted for an emergency. The tower of Spandau stands in thé midst of a citadel surrounded by barracks and officers' quarters, not far from the great German ar- senals and manufactories of war im- plements. It is cylindrical, built of heavy, massive masonry, about for- ty feet high and almost as thick. The tower is guarded by three steel daors at its only entrance, each op- ened by a system of simultaneous keys held by different persons. The chancellor of the empire holds one fet and the president of the com- mittee for debts of the empire an- other. The treasure is protected by constantly changing' sentrids, under aj guardian who was made curator by a decree in 1874. At Least $30,000,000 in Twenty.

Enapp's Strange Craft Still Lies In Toronto Harbor, When the contractors for the To- ronto Board of Harbor Commission- ers commence work along the water front they will be called upon to re- move the wreck of the queerest craft that ever sailed upon the surface of the Great Lakes. This hulk is the physical remains of the Knapp roller boat, a marine construction that at- tracted the attention of the scientific press in the year 1897. On August 19th, 1896, there was launched from the Cail dockyards, on the River Seine in France, the Ernest Bazin roller boat. For months the press had beeu keenly in- terested in this craft, and muck was expected of it. It was to possess great speed, to have great stability, and to be an economical type of vessel to construct, operate and maintain, Six great hollow iron rollers were to allow the ship to roll on the sur- face of the water. Each roller was equipped with blades and a small steam engine, and in addition » powerful screw propeller stretghed out behind the boat. A keenly interested crowd gather- ed on the banks of that historic river to witness the tryout, and amidst hearty che the roller boat wus] towed to mid-stream and started. { Instead of frisking over the river surface the rollers churned up the water and sank deeper as additional power was applied. A few seconds of this proved to the onlookers that the experiment had failed, and after the press had explained to their own satisfaction tHe reasons for the failure the matter dropped from pub- lic view for a time. { In the early winter of 1897 the Canadian press anneunced that the riddle of the roller boat had oes solved. A Mr. Knapp handed out the result of his investigations, and de- | clared that if the six rollers of the Brazin boat had been united in one, and the screw propeller dispensed with, all the claims made for the French model could be demonstrated, Early in the spring of 1897 the Polson Shipyards commenced work on the new model, and on the 21st of October in the same year it was ready for its maiden trip. need. perfect rest.

Admission to the boat was had through the ends, which were left open for this pur- pose, and the interior platform rest- ed on a series of little wheels that in turn rested against circular steel rails that went entirely around the interior of the iron cylinder. Re On the platform, or centre of the boat, two boiler and engine sets were located, and their duty was to drive the shell around the platform. On 'the outside of the shell were bolted 16 paddies or floats 15 feet long and eight inches deep, which were not radially to the cylinder but were slanted so as to hold the water and drive the boat over the sea. On the morning of the trial the roller boat was towed out into the bay and the inventor and builder watched his creation from the deck of a skip of normal construction. When the engines were started the boat slowly forged ahead at a speed of six miles per hour. Although this boat behaved much better than the Bazin altempt, the spectators were not convinced that roller boats would be in general use in the immediate future.
