ANAMERleAN HElREsa IN PARIS

rInpecunaous Titled Barialans Drew Lots
to Decide Who should Marry Her.
Lillian Bell, in letter from Paris
to the January Ladies' Home Journal,
writes that the most shameless thing
in all Europe is tho marriage question,
and proceeds to narrate the experience
of a rich American girl who came to
Paris with letters to friends. On &C
Count of her wealth she was invited
everywhere by, mothers of marriage
able sons, but being unable to speak
French was not much of a success. She
went down to a convent to learn
French, and was shown much atten-
ton by the Duchesse de z, who
was determined that her son should
marry her Suddenly, to the amaze
ment of everybody, the heiress sailed
for America without word of warn
ing. The duchess was furious You
must follow her. she said to her son.
We can not let so much money escape
The son said he would be hanged if he
went to America, or if he would marry
such a monkey, and as for her money,
she could go anywhere she pleased with
it, or words to that effect. So that
ended the affair of the Marquis de
c.. When the other impecunious
young mobiles heard that the duchess no
longer had any claims upon the Amer
leans money, they got together and
said, Somebody must marry her and
divide with the rest. We can't all
marry her, but we can all have a share
from whoever does. Now we will draw
lots to see who must go to America
and marry her The lot fell on the
Baron de K, but he had no money
for the journey. So all the others
raised what money they could and
loaned it to him, and took his notes for
it, with enormous interest, payable
after his marriage. He sailed away,
and within eight months he had mar
ried her, but he has not paid those
notes; his wife won't give him the
money!

bids fair to become thing of use in
the greater city.
In London they have been testing the
motor van for mail service and its sue
cess is tolerably we'll assured. The
advantages of such a system in a big
city like Greater New York are many.
Speed is the chief of these. IN the Lon
don experiment it was shown that a
van, heavily loaded with Christmas
mail and parcels, could make journey
which lay largely in a very crowded
part of the city at the rate OF twenty
four miles in two and three-quarteVS
hours. This is certainly an improve
ment upon the numbering rate a
which the horse vans go.

Costly BOnnets Unnecessary.

The troubles of Eugene V. N. Bissell,
the son of the well-known auctioneer,
because of the extravagant habits Of
his wife, Mary Valentine Yale Bissell,
have received much public attention,
and in the numerous suits brought
against him in the city court by dress
makers and others to recover the value
of goods and dresses sold to Mrs. Bis
sell her husband has always been de-
feated, says the New York Times. He
was before Judge Conlan and a jury
in part ". of the city court the other
day to defend a suit brought against
him by William e. Aiken to recover
S102, the value of some bonnets and
hats furnished to Bisselrs wife, with
interest and costs, and a look of in
tense pleasure covered his face when
Judge Conlan dismissed the case on
the ground that the hats were not ac-
tual necessaries to Mrs. Bissell, whose
husband proved that he supplied his
wife with sufficient bonnets. 1t was
shown that Mrs. Bissell had ordered
three of the hats within three days.
One of them was valued at $2S, another
at $23, and the third at SIG. The re-
mainder of the bill of $102 was made
up of interest and costs in bringing the
suit. Bissell some time ago sued his
wife for divorce, but the proceedings
were dropped, and the couple, with
their two children, are now living to-
gether on West End avenue.

COM a oewN n practical
shape by the completion and success
full trial of his submarine wrecking
Argonaut, which has been on public
exhibitions on the Patapsco river for
the last ten days. Many of Verne's
scientific statements and deductions
are true. While he knew that light
burning in a vacuum would not con-
sumo the carbon, he did not know how
to apply the fact practically. From the
days of Bushnell in 1916 to the present
time engineers have been trying to
solve this problem. Robert Fulton re-
ceived $4,000 from the English gov
eminent for his invention, but it was
nothing more than an expensive toy.
Fulton, however, demonstrated two
important facts, that the compass
points equally true under water and
above water, and that a crew could
live under water for some time.
The Argonaut is built of steel, thor
oughly ribbed and capable Of standing
pressure of 1870 pounds to the square
inch. She is SO feet long, II feet beam.
and her hull is cylinder shape. She
can be propelled either in the ordinary
manner by a screw, or by wheeling
along the bottom
In order to reach the interior of the
vessel perpendicular iron ladder is
descended from the top of the con-
ming tower Once inside, the visitor
finds himself in a oigar-shaped room,
which Is not unlike the interior of
other vessels. The greatest cause for
surprise is probably the fact that
much more Of the boat is below than
above the surface of the water.
The boat is divided into four COM
apartments = engine and living room,
divers room, air chamber and forward
operating and lookout room. In the
stern Of the main compartment is a
gasoline engine Of thirty horse power,
as well as dynamo, taking it's power
from strong storage batteries, and
steering gear accessory 20 that upon
the after deck above.
The entire boat is lighted by cleo
tricity, and a telephone system con-
meets each of the smaller apartments
with the main room. There are strong
iron doors between each Of the va
rious departments, so that air can be
compressed in any one of the cham
bers and kept therein without. chance
of escaping. When the diver goes
down he enters the inner chamber
and, after a sufficient amount of air
has been compressed into the COM
partment to counterbalance the force
Of the water, hole is opened in the
bottom of the boat and the diver goes
out. He can return to the vessel
through the same entrance, the force
of air being sufficient to keep the wa
ter back.
II the experience on the Patapsco
can be taken as fair test, the Argo-
naut has undoubtedly accomplished re-
suits never before achieved by sub
marine vessels. In many respects the
boat was at a disadvantage, for the
river bottom is covered with mud sew
eral feet deep, and for this reason the
wheels of the boat were of no prac-
tical use. One remarkable feature
about the descent into the water was
that there was no vibration whatever
Whether the same conditions would
prevail in very deep water it is. of

course, impossible to predict. Again,
In its trial trip the boat never reached
that depth at which it's inmates were
dependent upon artificial air, but there
seems to be no doubt that air can be
safely compressed for the benefit of
submarine navigators.
