I aloe now understand better why the fish do not bite at any old hook, bait and sinker let down to them. To be sure, all water is not so transparent as that of the Mediterranean, but it has to be very dirty to be opaque. In the Atlantic, off the coast of Prance, the submarine crew said•it is light green, and in the English Channel it is ot a grayish -yellow hue. The Andromache had made the voyage from Brest to Toulon through the Straits et Gibrae tar, all alone, IN THE AIR. My first air flight took place in a hydroplane off the coast of the French Riviera, near St. Raphael, where the French navy has an excellent acro. nautical school, the special object of which is to train men who have already It was while standing on the deck of a submarine coming into tho harbor at Toulon, that I decided to ask for a trip over the Mediterranean as well as under it. The next morning I was less confident, but when the opportunity came during the afternoon I could not resist. "Get into the togs," said the amiable commandmeut of the school, and out of a basket brought on the beach by an attendant I was dressed in a pair of leather trousers, a sweater, a can- vas jacket, a wooden hood, a leather lselmet, sheepskin -lined gloves and a pair of goggles, all of which was put on the outside of ray ordinary clothes. I then felt more qualified to dive than to fly. A pair of waterproof boots evould have completed the costume ad- mirably. By the time I was ready I felt like a cross between a trained bear and a rag doll. narrating the experiences of an Amer- ican correepondent both above and below the waters of the 'Mediterranean. The article. abridged here, is by Naboth liedin, and is reprinted from the Brooklyn Eagle. Toulon, Sept. 8. Hydroplanes and submarisies are the newest craft in naval warfare, and teough the courtesy of the French Marine Department I have had the un- usual opportunity of making a plunge under the Mediterranean in a submar- ine one day and a flight over the same sea in a hydroplane the next. While the hydroplane flight was the more thrilling, the submarine trip was the more interesting, especially RS it was the first time a European navy had Permitted alien newspaper correspond- ents to enter one of its submarines. The plunge eas made in the light blue clear water off the leading French naval station at Toulon. Externally a aubmarine is not beau. With It may be described as a long, black tank, filled with machinery. Only a small portion of the tank is running along on the surface. What one sees from a distance is only scaffolding, or a raft, placed on its back so as to form a deck, surrounded by an iron railieg. In the centre is a little turret, on the roof of which is a lid, and it te through this Ild one enters the interior of the boat, just as one would climb through a manhole down Into a sewer. There being no stairway or ladder, one 'limbi down on a series of iron hane dies. rivetedto the interior of the tnrret. As a passenger boat, the sub- marine is not adapted to corpulent persons. HOW IT RUNS. Having taken a hasty glance at the construction of the boat, it is time to see ho* it runs. The electric motors are already purring softly, and through- out the entire aisle the members of the crew, alert young fellow's, are busy turning valves, switches and wheels, while •the officers are watching the dials. Evidently the boat is moving, though there is no way of making sure. In the "control" section the com- mander now stands on a circular little pedestal, peering through a pair of 'opera" glasses, attached to the lower end of the periscope, which at first glance appears to be a slender metal tube, suggesting the piston under a hydraulic elevator. This piston, which Is only about two inches in diameter, passes through a water -tight fitting in the ceiling, and then projects into the water above until it reaches the surface. It can be moved up and down, so as to not project too much. The boat can go down about 30 feet and yet be in touch with the world above through the periscope, which is Its eye. In its interior are mirrors, which transfer the images on the water down to the "opera' glasses and from them into the commander's eyes. (This long, shiny tube, sliding up and down, sug- gests a water snake, sticking its head above the water, looking for prey. It le uncanny.) THROUGH THE PERISCOPE. "Take a look," says the commander, as he jun:sps down from the pedestal. I climb up and take a peep, It is amazing. I see the distant shores and the seagoing tug 1 just left as plainly as though I had stuck my awn head above water. The light appears a little bit hazy, otherwise there is no difference. No wonder a submarine can torpedo a big ship while remain- ing.hidden itself. Still greater surprises are in store. As I jump down from the pedestal I find Myself directly under the turret through which I had originally come down. I look up, and, knowing the boat is under water, I exclaim in sur. prise at seeing daylight filtering in through what I take to be little holes In the sides -of the turret. "Look out, the water will come down on usl" I burst out, pointing to the 'boles." "Those are not 'holes," says the ensign. "They are windows, Crawl up and look for yourself." I retiount the iron handles, and, having assumed that Stygian dark- ness reigned under the surface of the sea, I am amazed to eee the most beau. title light come streaming in through these little windows -oval little bits of thielc glees, much like the eyee of a dolphin, Bratene myself against the wane of the turret, 1 leek out. Oh, wonder! What is this? We are moving through a world of isapphire blue of the most exquisite tint, I peer closer to the Uttle evthdow. As T• look down, the btue gete darker and darker, and as I look up it gets lighter. I see a light f013.112 swirling about. It must be the surface of the see. As I look closer I earl see the small wavee 'rising, curling an dying. We appear to be about twentv feet below. Perhaps it Is More, fleeing the eurface of the aea from below inetead of frotri abeve is it novel exeerlortee. The only similar impree- igen Is that of the turfaee in the flab The hydroplanes had been launched while I dressed, and a small motorboat acted as a tender. When 1 was once on board it ran in front of the "hy- dro" and took it in tow, while I made the transfer. The sea was pitchy and it was not without difficulty that I made the leap front the power boat to the hydro- plane, handicapped as I was in tuy unaccustomed trappings. I started for the seat next to the pilot, but he mo- tioned me to a circular hole in the prow. A sailor comes across from the mo- tor -boat, starts tho two -winged pro- peller in back, setting tho engine off, "crack -crack -crack," and leaps over my head, back to the power boat, which Is. already moving forward fast, towing the "hydro." The rope hold- ing the two together is then released, the motorboat veers off sharply tp the left, and ahead rushes the hydroplane toward the open sea. So ear it Is very pleasant. The engines crackle more and more vio- lently, enough to burst my ear drums had I not, as protection, the wooden hood and the leather helmet. The eslender-winged boat glides over the water faster and faster. I look stead- ily ahead. I feel no temptation look back. We cut the waves diagon- ally, and then at right angles. The ream flies about us: The enginein* back becomes more and more vocifer- ous, until the strokes of its cylinders become one continuous roar. We cut through the water with a zip. IN THE HANDS OF A GIANT. We sail out over the Mediterranean; always going up, up, up, as well as forward. We seem lifted into the sky by the hands of a giant. I feel. small and Ansignificant, being in the grip of such a force. I now understand why it makes so little diff4rence whether an aviator is big or little, This energy hoi3ts us like cotton puffs. I feel very light, and the pit in which I sit seems to become big- ger and bigger. I am not , dizzy, I feel Tether comfortable, though no. doubt I would be happier with a belt' around. me, if only for a reassuring moral effect. As the machine is ,ab- volutely rteady, I do not iIvon need to hold on to the edges of the pit any longer. There is but one motion. It is forward, and the wihd driving against us, is forcing zne against the back of my Beet. The floor under-, 'teeth me feels as solid as though founded on bedrock. Thera is no wavering. But here we turn. The boat tips ever so slightly, but fearing it. may suddenly tip over a greet deal more, I once more grip the edges of the deck with my sheepskin gloved hahde. I hold tight. My heart junaps, and my breath comes short. But noth- ing happens. The curve is made.. e relax, and look about.

Wateh any flesh -eating animal when it is attacking its prey, or watch two animals having a fight to the death, You will sebtice one remarkable fact, and that hi that they strike for the lungs. Most people, of course, are well aware wher their own lungs are, but they haven't the slightest idea about any other lungs. Animals in- stinctively know, however, the posi- tion of the lungs of almost every other animal. When a tiger or a lion at- tacks a man it does its best to get Just below the shoulder blades. If it strikes without warning, you will al- ways find that it powerful paws have torn right through to the lungs. A. cat has just the same instinct. Watch It stalk a sparrow and you will see bow cleverly it manoeuvres so as to get behind the unfortunate bird and pounce on its back, where tho lungs are. -London Graphic. ,.......,"•-••••••••.•••••••••*-, STRONG PEOPLE NEEDED The need for people to be tiealthy Is urgent. Those whom Inness has put, outside the ranks of robust men and women feel their position keenly. They are -handicapped in every walk of life and weak men and nerve -worn wo- meu need more earnestly than ever to Put their health right and become act- ive and strong. Many who began "patching" months ago are Ill now as on the day they began vainly tinker- ing with emmegen drugs. Every ailing man and woman should remember that the ills of debility, nerve exhaustion, Indigestion, sleeplessness, neuralgia and depression come from a faulty blood supply. Worry, over -work or other cauees have impoverished the blood and left the life -stream impure. The nerves thereby are starving and the whole system is languishing for new blood, In this condition many thousands have won back strong nerves and new health and strength through the rich blood Dr. Williams Pink Pills actually makes. In a weak or bloodless condition it is not only a waste of time and money, but also a further menace to your health to tinker with common drugs. Follow the example of so many thousands by giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial, and they will transform you into healthy active men and women. You can get these pills through any dealer 'in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock - vine, Ont. e's 1 Chats Witti1 the Doctor \1441M110..

Rhubarb plants will be benefited by replanting the roots every three or four years, dividing tho clumps and setting them in new, ricn ground. For best remits, loosen up the soil fully thirty inches deep, being careful to leave the soil below, working in manure down abaat sixteen inches be- low the surface, using an abundance of manure. Autumn is a good time to Household Helps. do this work. During the growing season keep the soil loose. and mellow and water dur- ing dry weather, giving occasional ap- plications of manure water. In gathering the meet, do not cue but pull the leaf stalkss and be careful not to entirely strip the plants. Al To keep curtains from blowing, cover son as the leaves have faded mulch small tailor's weights with goods of the color of the cutains, and sew to the lower comers. Save the 25 -pound flour sacks, wash them then, rip them open and hem again These make good dish towels, as they are soft and of convenient size. If bottles of medicine are to be carried when traveling, dip the tope hi melted paraffin to prevent leaking. Do not cork too tightly or tho cork will "work up."

(Experimental Farms Note.) The most succeseful cattle feeders purchase and feed profitably a reason- able supply of mill feeds and concen- trates. What feeds to select and when to purchase aro at present most diffi- cult problems, The man who buys =ale in small amounts as needed, and buys the meal cheapest per hundredweight; is a poor business man, and does not appreciate the real values of feeds. The feeder who has rich and succu- lent farm -grown roughages need pur- chase and feed less grains and meals, and the meals purchased need be of a less concentrated nature. The intelli- gent cattle fender always raises on his farm the best possible quality of feeds, and makes his purchases of grain and meals to balance tho rations prop- erly. • There are but two correct methods of choosing meals when purchasing. Which method to follow depends al- together on the quantity, quality and variety of the farm -grown roughages. Purchases should be made on the basis of the protein contained in a digest- ible form or the total digestible mars ents (protein plus starcbes, plus fat x For example, red clover hay con- tains 152 pounds digestible protein, and 1,01.8 pounds total digestible nutri- ents per ton; timothy hay has only 60 pounds digestible protein and 970 total digestible nutrientaper ton; corn ensilage has 22 pounds digestible pro nutrients per ton, and mangels or swedes about half of each. Clover or, better, alfalfa, bay supplies the pro- tein of a melon In about the correct airoportion, while timothy hay must be supplemented with a rich protein meal. Again, corn ensilage, although bulky, supplies the cheapest total nu- trients of any feed, but requires a protein meal to balance it. Ensilage made from green clover, oats, or oats, Peas and vetclses, is worth almost as much as good corn ensilage. The same relationship exists between all the meals which are purchased for the feeding of stock. The farmer who has grass hay (such as timothy) and corn ensilage, must buy meals on the baste ot cheapness of protein.
