Francis Wilson occupies position and
has taken a place on the American sta &c
which makes each successive engagement
here a subject for more general and joyful
attention than the repeated visits OF most
comic opera comedians. Mr.. Wilson takes
his work and the stage seriously He has
achieved his eminence at the head of comic
opera in America on account of his own
unique comicality, the high standing of
his productions, and heuniiorm excellence
of his supporting organization.
Mr.. Wilson has produced no opera that
has met with such great success. financially
and artistically, as ''IIalf a King The

IMPORTANT: There are very few
things more hurtful than common
tea. An eminent English doctor
once said: "If the public gave up
drinking common tea, the occupa-
ton of one. half of our profession
would be gone" Good tea, how
ever, is refreshing and stimulat-
ing, and in introducing this arti-
Gle to the public, the officers of the
Salvation Army have taken great
pains to secure tea, which can
with the greatest confidence be re-
commended as being of the very
highest standard of excellence,
and have decided to sell it at a
price within the reach of every
body, and although it will leave
US a very small margin of profit
indeed, we are satisfied, knowing
that what we sell is sure to give
satisfaction. Sold in lib packets.

TO TRAVERSE THE DEPTHS.
successful Experiments with a New
Submarine boat.

Submarine Boat.
A very successful series of ex-
periments was made in London
the other day with working
model of a new submarine torpedo
boat, which will be about ninety
feet long, with proportionate
depth and beam. The model, of
course, has the usual water-tight
compartments and false keel, to
be detached in case of an emer-
gencv, such as the sudden need
Of additional buoyancy. The pro-
polling power is electricity,
supplied from storage cells spe-
cia'ly designed for submarine
service-the propeller being a
single screw.
The cells are packed on each
side of the hull, leaving the cen
trail part free for the service OF
the crew and the working Of the
ship. The air supply has been
the special subject of investigation
by the inventor, who has devised
a means by which it can be puri-
fed, and the loss of oxygen so
made good that the crew will be
able to stay under water, accord
ing to his calculations for Il week.
The vessel has two coming
towers. In the foremost all the
gear is mounted for steering, put
ting the machinery in or out Of
action, supplying the air, turn
ing on the lights, causing the
vessel to descend or ascend, or
discharging her torpedoes, the
tubes for which are on each side
of the bow. The after coming
tower enables any of the crew to
get out of the vessel when under
water for repairing or other pur-
poses. The model, brightly illu-
minated by incandescents. dived
into the water, remained sub
merged at two, three or four feet,
assembled and descended slowly or
rapidly, aud depressed either her
bow or stern at Whilst. Louis
