THE MATERIALIzATION OF JOHN
 VERNE'S DREAMS.

While M Jules Verne's heroes were discussing miracles in the saloon of the Nautilus" many fathoms beneath the surface of the troubled sea, man of flesh and blood in Dublin was wrestling with the ancient problems of submarine navigation. With that measure of suc- cess he met we we'll know, but so rapid has been the progress of science, in the thirty-five years since the days of the Nautilus" that we wondered more at her voyage through the pages of a book than we did, the other day, when a real Nautilus" of iron and steel lay sub merged for many hours on the bottom of Peconic Bay Through the dark hours of a stormy night, when schoon- CTS were tossed on shore by the waves
 the submarine destroyer Fulton rest ed so quietly that none of her crew suspected there was ripple overhead. And whenfi, after the vessel rose to the surface, an admiral of the navy stuck his head out of the coming tower, he said Let's. go below again, for it's wet and cold up here, and it's snug and warm down in the Fulton
 How closely the Fulton resembles the Nautilus, ,'--both cigar-shaped ves- sells of steel with widowed coming towers amidships and propelled by cleo trically-driven screws Jules Verne wrote in the infancy of electricity, but in his fancy he builded electric motors and incandescent lamps. The fairyIand luminous globes" in which the light was produced '1n vacuo,' are now more familiar to us than oil lamps. The storage battery of the Fulton was not dreamed of in the days of the "Nau- illus" and the novelist had to leave the source of the electricity a half-re- vealed secret of the resourceful Captain Memo But was not our modern cleo tric motor clearly foreseen in the "Nau~ illus" engine, turned by "electro-mag- nets of great size?" Captain Memo as- founded M. Aronnax by telling him that he kept the boat warm and even cooked his food by electricity. But this is no novelty now, to the American who rides home in an electrically driven, heated and lighted street car, and eats a supper cooked over an electric stove.
 There were awful days on the 'Nau- tilus'' when, imprisoned beneath an an- tarctic ice, her supply of fresh air be-
 came exhausted On the, sixth day when the air-starved crew breathed again. The Fulton" however, is q more wonderful creation; for, with her cornpressed-air cylinders, she can keep the air within the shell fresh for many days As in the dream of the novelist, the real submarine boat is sunk by fill ing compartments with water. For the use we have for submarine boats-of- fensive operations in naval warfare deep-sea running is not desirable. and the Fulton would be crushed to atoms under the enormous pressure of the low levels to which the Nautilus" was snk. But, should human needs demand a deep-level cruiser. America an inventive genius would undoubtedly solve the problem.-May issue of Success"

YALE's STUDENT THEATRICALS,
 After the long weeks of preparation | the Yale Dramatic association is at last ready and eager to pur on the boards tonight it's third annual the atrical offering. Every syllable and motion in the young mems acting has
 been drilled and re-drilled, and smooth ed and polished until finally nothing more remains to be done. MT. Short l has stayed in New Haven for the last few weeks, devoting his time exclusive 1 ly to this performance, and according | ly high expectations are entertained for
 an unusually brilliant production. The Yale and Columbia baseball teams, rivals this afternoon on the dia- mond at Yale field, will have a more amicable meeting ths evening to en- joy The Critic" and High Life Below Stairs from neighboring boxes. Most of those prominent in social and liter ary circles in New Haven and the sur
 rounding towns, many of them with
 gay parties of guests, will be present
 at this initial performance, while an
 unusually large popular audience is al-
 so counted upon. Altogether the pro- duction is by far the most ambitious
 effort of the Yale association and from
 present indications cannot fail of being
 by far the most popular and success full.
 At S:15 sharp tonight the curtain will rise on the first scene of High Life Be- low Stairs" introducing us to Lovel
 (Erastus Corning, Yale 1903), and his friend Freeman (W. s. Hastings, Yale 1902). Lovel has just received an an onymous communication advising him that his servants are deceiving, robbing and cheating him, and determines to investigate the matter in person. For this purpose he assumes the disguise of country boy, and is introduced into his own kitchen in this character by his friend Freeman. Here he finds a wild scene of revelry and confusion going on singing, dancing, feasting, speech making and a terrible hubbub. This amusing scene is succeeded by another, still more diverting, when Lovel re-en- ters in his own proper character, with his friend Freeman, and makes his un- faithful servitors pay the penalty for their dishonesty.
 High Life Below Stairs" is followed by "The Critic, or Tragedy Rehears- ed, presented in two acts. The first act is at the house of Mir Dangle tW c. Hirschfeld), wealthy would-be theat- rical critic. Dangle and Sheer (Ran- dolph Lyons), friend, are invited by Pff (Erastus Corning), a ridiculously pompous and conceited playwright, to attend the dress rehearsal of his new tragedy "The Spanish Armada" The second act Is al the theater during this dress rehearsal and the elaborate pre- sentation of 'The Spanish Armada constitutes the rest of "The Critic" The indescribable combination of sparkling wit, rich humor, ludicrous burlesque and brilliant satire in this play makes it probably the best of Sher- idans and far the most popular at the present time.
 This double bill should make a big success tonight.
