As Far Back as the Time of Alex* ander the Great Men Dretuted of Staying Tinder S'l'itters Longer 'Than Nature Ordinarily I?ernaits —Some of the First Experiments Recalled. FIE idea of the submarine, T like that of some other ultra -Modern devices, is very old. The necessary materials tract the means of realizing their ideas were not in the possession of the early inventors, but some of diem did surprisingly well- with diose at their disposal. In the Amer- ican Machinist, II. H. Manchester traces the idea of the submarine to the efforts of divers to remain under water longer than nature had fur- nished them the means of doing. When those efforts took the form of vessels containing air and large enough to hold the diver himself, the may he said to have evolved the germ of a submarine. With some means of propulsion added, even et the rudest form, the tesembiance went a good deal further. Mr. Man- chester tells us that the romances about Alexander the Great gave free vent to the imagination in describing' his exploits beneath the sea, and sev- eral of the .manuscripts contained pictures illustrating them. He goes The Greatest Name in Good y -Land • rfi-t,";;;c,""il'i,;""r IA„rasuIwIGnn1 7,..,5H rnd 1 . IG� aontlBlE , on: "In one of these miniatures, the late of which is about 1320, we see t large glass barrel resting on the bottom of the sea and occupied by the King. Chains for lowering and raising the barrel are visible, but there is no sign of any air -tube lead- ing to the surface. While this illus- tration is very, quaint, the idea of a water -tight vessel was a distinct ad- vance, and marks what might be called the first step from diving apparatus to submarine. "A direct application of this con- ception was made by Robertus Val -- tutus in 1460. The design he show- ed was for a boat of the form of a cylinder with a pointed prow and stern. Botit the prow and stern were - detachable, so that the boat could he easily transported, It was in- tended for crossing rivers without being seen by the enemy; and for this purpose it was made water -tight all around so that it could be sunk below the surface. Two cranks, which drove two paddle -wheels, were also used to guide the dmat. It was said tie be capable of holding twelve wee. for ,the period necessary to cross a rgyer. The two other de- signs at the top of the same plate are for different boats, but suggest an approximation to broken screws to be used in driving these vessels or the subniaeine. IIl fire next cen- tury there, were several allusions to diving apparatus, including a rigid tube by Leonardo da Vinci; about 1490, and it diving -bell experimented with at. Toledo,. Spain, in 1533. But leaving diving operations aside, the next notice taken of submarines. seems te,be,the one by Olaus Mag- nus, the Bishop of peseta, in his 'History 'Of the North,' pnthlished in Latin it 1555. He declares; 'Half- way to Greenland there is founda kind of pirates that use leather boats. By a method of Ila.Vigation net.

"The next important advance to- ward the principles of the submarine was probably, tirade by, William Bourne, Of England, in 1578, and consisted of the method he proposed for lowering and raising the vessel. His plan was tG• have the sides of the vessel in part double, but con- neeted by a flexible Membrane, such as oiled ,leather, so that they could be drawn apart or forced together by means of itandscrews, There were tg pn holes in the outer shell of the Vessel through which the water would enter when elle second sltolle were drawn inward. Tl1is, of course, would sink: the yessel; Wlten it was desired to raise the vessel, the screw was used to fano the inner shells tight agailInt the outer one and drive out the watt)', This was a rather clever adaptation of the crude power available in those days for the pur- pose at hand, and it involved prin- ciples of displagelneut that have been applied ever singe, "A somewhat similar construction was proposed by Magnus Pegelius in 1808, and Lorint in 1.609 describes P. rigid column and a caisson for sub- tnarine work. The next noteworthy effort in I u s - marine building was uy Cornelius van Prebbelin 1620 and subsequent yearn. He built several boats for submarine use, which he made water- tight by stretching oiled leather all over tate outside, Besides what was then considered the remarkable taue- eess of his vessel, Drebbel claimed Credit for an evert more important itivt•n'tort in 'the composition of a fluid that would speedily restore to the troubled air Buell a proportion of vital parte as would make it again, for a good while, Tit for respiration,' Possibly he had some recipe ter re- let,sing oxygen from 'water, but he ,lied in 1634 without disclosing thin The largest - selling gum in the world nat- urally has to have a package worthy of its contents.

And long before these things have come to pass travelers; will have become familiar with the French equivalent for the direction from the lips of French railway guards in Paris, for it is hoped, even before the end of this year, to run a direct service from Frames to the Holy Land with Con.. nations at London, Calais and Bou- logne. The first step toward this great event will be the re-establishment this summer of the Orient Express from Paris to Constantinople. Before the liar, it was recalled by IL M. Snow, agent -general for the Inter- national ;peeping Car' Company, the .orient Express, ran from Paris through Strasburg, Munich, Vienna, Budapest and Sofia to Constantinople, "At Strasburg," he said, "we were in the enemy's country,_ and when the war broke put all our immense rolling stock as well itis that of other services was seized. The notorious Balkan Jug, tun by the Germans, was nothing more or less than our Orient Express. The Germans stripped the coaches of their bronze inscriptions and coast of arms and snbstituted the German eagle. On the declaration of the armistice with Bulgaria the Balkan Jug stopped running, "'The groat difference when the service is resumed will be that this "time it will not touch German ter- ritory. From Paris either the Mont Cents or the Simplon route will be taken to Milan, thence through Von- ice, Trieste, Agr•am, Nish and Sofia to Constantinople, with a section running from -Nish to Uskub, Salo - nice. and Carissa to Athens. "At first the trains will run com- paratively slowly. Before the war it took approximately 74 hours to get from London to Constantinople, When the Conditions become normal again I do not think the time by the new route will be quite so long. From Nish to Salonica and Athens, which geographically is about the same distance as that from Nish to Constantinople, the Journey should be about 24 hours. "The re-establishment of the Orient Express has been on the tapis for some time, and I hope by the time peace is signed the arrange- ments so far as the service to Con- stantinople and Athens are concerned will be practically complete. At the outset the express will run two. or three times a week in each direc- tion. "1 have no doubt we shall after- ward extend tate service to Bagdad and Jerusalem, and there is no rea- son why we should not link up with our existing Egyptian services, For the Jerusalem service the Bosphorus wauld have to be crossed by steam- er, and the express would run from Heide Pasha, station, on the Asiatic side, through Aleppo and Damascus, and eventually go on from Jerusalem to Kentaro, the Suez Canal and. Cairo. "In addition to the Orient Express, we had a large number of internal services, not only in Turkey, but also In Bulgaria and Roumania, and so on, They will be reeunled. One sec- tion of the Orient eExgress which was detached from "the main service at Budapest, ran to 'Bucharest and Constanza, where the Roumanian Government steamers were taken to Constantinople. It afforded a pleas- ant alternative route, and that also will be re-established. "At the present moment," Mr. Snow added, "we are running ser- vices from Rome to Venice- and Trieste, and from Paris to Mayence and, of course, from Paris to Brus- sels and to Lille," iharmar, Jut) !Ai 910 Don't suffer!'

If we could make that money earn more money without troubling to think out a plan or attend to details, we would consider that we had done a good stroke of business. The Governntent has made it possible for ns to do that. Hers is the plan: You say to your employer: "Every week 1 want you to hold back five per cent. of my wages and invest them in War Savings Stamps. When you have bought a War Savings Stamp with my money, put it in my pay envelope. Go on doing that for a year." You will never miss that five per cent, which you had previously frittered away.
