here given this has been accomplished
without increasing the cost of the
building, and a very pretty and con-

has the opportunity and the ability to
do some of the work himself.
The roof is steep. securing perfectly

for the rooms on the upper floor with

gable in the roof breaks up the line Of
the building and makes it picturesque
as well as gives additional room in the
kitchen where it is most needed.

The development of the submarine

by Prof. Morse in 1912 to the great
cables which now engirdle the entire

the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. en-

World and the Development of Sub

which has been prepared by the Blu
reau of Statistics in view of the spe-
cial interest just now developed in

The United States with Hawaii, Guam,

Of the world, but also the history of
This great system and the part which
American genius and enterprise have
had in its development
The statement credits Saliva, a Span

ton Of submarine telegraphy, made be-
fore the Barcelona Academy of Sci
noes in 1875. Aldini a nephew of
Calvin, performed experiments in the

Schilllng ignited gunpowder by cleo

River. near st. Petersburg, in 1872; tel
pgraphic signals were transmitted
through insulated wires under the
River Hoogly, in India, by the director
of the East India Company's telegraph
system in 1889, and in 1912 Prof. Morse
transmitted electric currents and sig
nails through an insulated copper wire
laid for that purpose between Castle
Garden and Governors Island, in New
York harbor, and in the following year
suggested submarine electric commu-
nicatiOn between the United States
and Europe. In 1915 Ezra Cornell in
conjunction with Prof. Morse, laid and
successfully operated submarine cop
per wires in the Hudson River, be
tween New York and Fort Lee and in
1917 a section of the telegraph line
connecting New York and Washington
was laid through the waters of mar
row creek by J. j. Craven, of New Jer-
Sey thus demonstrating telegraphiC
service. In 1850 a submarine telegraph
line was laid across the English Chan
mel and signals exchanged, but without
further success, though in the follow
ing year n cable containing four cop
per wires, insulated with gutta perchi
and protected by galvanized iron wires
wound spirally about it, was lal'

Il - kWaiuueSS OF removing tue grove
from the hand when dining. The most
effective of these odd dinner sleeves
are made of spangled tulle or net. The
filmy fabric clings closely to the arm,
and when it reaches the wrist it IS
shaped like a mtt of the days of our
grandmothers. 1t just covers the
knuckles, allowing the rings to show to
good advantage. The sleeve does not
reach to the shoulder, but, like many
of the ultrafashionable sleeves of the
day. is suspended from it by band Of
velvet or jewels Just where the sleeve
is attached to the bodice is a mystery
to the uninitiated. but it goes without
saying that it as attached and it is not
necessary to put on ones sleeve first
and ones bodice afterward. The nov
city is not without its drawback. So
very delicate is the material that the
utmost care must be exercised in put
ting it on and taking it off. Otherwise
it will surely be torn.

parts OF the Queens county for the pur-
pose of establishing branches of the
United Irish League. Two were held near
ELECTROMAGNETIC first at Clonaslea and
the second at Mountmellick. At the first
meeting William Moran presided and
there was large attendance.
On the motion Of James German, sec
onded by p. Conroy, resolutions were
adopted establishing branch of the Unit
ed Irish League, calling for a scheme OF
compulsory land purchase calling on
Nationalist to join the United Irish
League, declaring that they would not
be content with system of land reform
which would not permanently improve
the condition of laborers and artisans ;
calling for Catholic university, and de-
nouncing land-grabbing.
William Delany, II. p, who was the
principal speaker. having referred to the
necessity for organization among the peo-
pie, said he wished to refer to a rather
ticklish question-namely, the question
of excluding some members from the
Irish party. He might tell them plainly
what his views were on that question.
He was not going to direct the people of
Ossory nor his colleagues in the Irish
party, because he had not met them in
body. 1t would look very dictatorial to
offer any opinion on this question, be-
cause he was elected for the first time as
the Parliamentary representative of that
division, and consequently he was not
going to dictate to them. But he was
going to abide by the decision of the
National convention of next month. He
would uphold that decision and defend
and give effect to it, and if the people of
Ossory, who had unanimously elected
him, said he had done wrong, then he
would resign the trust reposed in him
into their hands. He had no interest to
serve except the interest of Ossory and of
Ireland, and with the exception of those
interests he had no other object in going
to the House of Commons. But he thought
the scandal and disgrace of the Parlia-
mentary divisions Of the last ten years
ought to be at an end. They thought
that the general election registering the
decisive views of the people of Ireland in
the ballot boxes with such unanimity
there was an end of discord in Ireland
aud in the Irish party, but something had
cropped up lately with regard to the ex-
clusion of some members from the Irish
party. He concluded by referring to the
necessity for organization. Other gentle
men having spoken, the proceeding
ended.

Death Shocks His

One of the saddest among the recent
deaths in this city was that which oc-
CURED last Sunday, when Thomas Cooper
passed away after an illness of less than
three days duration. For some time he
had been trusted clerk with the Louis
vile Cider and Vinegar Company. and it
is believed that he strained himself on the
previous Friday. When the physician
was called it was found necessary to re-
move him to the infrmary to undergo an
operation, after which he sank rapidly.
The deceased was the son of Pierce
Cooper, and resided with his parents at
1929 Payne street. Few young men had
more friends, and the announcement of
his death was received with expressions
of regret everywhere. His funeral took
place Tuesday morning from st. Alloy
sius' church, and the large number pres
ent at the solemn requiem mass best
attests the high esteem in which he was
held. The loss of SO exemplary son is
a sad bereavement 10 the parents and
relatives, for whom sincere sympathy Is
felt.
