Edgar Fawcett, speaking in Golfers

to poets in these days, says: 'Does any

mistaken. The Century quite often pays
So for a piece of verse. 1t very often pays
no more than $40. 1t sometimes pays $40

have been occasions when it has paid more
but should like very much to know who
are the authors personally aware of any
such liberality.'"

Commodore Dewey is emphatically the

express the admiration felt for him. The
government offers him official thanks, mu-
inequalities are already naming streets after
him, poets are writing odes to him, mothers
are naming their babies for HMM every
manner possible people OF high and low de-
gree are gladly rendering him the honor
due to one who has at the same time dis

who were aware, two months ago, that such

among the chronicles that any are ever for

An apparatus for seeing under water-a

a foot in diameter, closed at ale bottom
with rubber packed plate OF heavy glass

the glass from striking against stones. The

an incandescent lamp supported on bent

Dranch tube provided at the side of the box,
this branch being required for introducing

wires are carried to the lamps down the
