a submarine coming into tho harbor
at Toulon, that I decided to ask for a

under it. The next morning I was less

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-

narrating the experiences of an Amer-
ican correepondent both above and
below the waters of the 'Mediterranean.

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,

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

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

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.

Animals Attack the Lungs.
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

BUYING •CATTLE FEEDS FOR WIN-
TER USE.
(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. At pres-
ent prices these in order of cheapness
are: Cottoneeed meal, dried distillers'
