Secret Of the French Marine.

In word. the privateering outlook has
again changed. Admiral Aube ten years
ago perceived 1t in the possibilities of these
small submarines. Since that time he has
quietly used the whole force of his author
ity in that direction: and now at last he

Marine" in it's bare outline. The new sub
marines OF the type Of the Gymnote are Of
such small dimensions that French trans

mission as a privateer can carry two of
them suspended at her sides.
The operation is easy; 1t was tried and
succeeded at Cherbourg last summer. Such
q swift prtvateer carrying its two sub
marines ready to be lowered at a moments
notice makes an utterly new proposition!
All the old arguments of steam navigation
disappear in it's presence It will enter

ly. 1t will not fear the attack of any war
ship. Those otherwise formidable enemies
will have plenty to do to escape from its
invisible devil boats that plunge beneath
the sea almost the moment they are low
cred and do not reappear again until after
they have done their deadly work.

Street Names in Mexico.
From the Journal of Education.

Tou inc JouTudl OF EIucatlOu.
According to Modern Mexico. the street
names of Mexico are something really ap-
palling to the newcomer. For instance,
there is the Heart of Jesus street, and the
Street of the Holy Ghost: Ave Maria street,
and the Avenue of the Love of God. Others
are the Street of the Saint of the True
Cross. the Arches of Bethlehem and the
Graves of Saint Sunday street; the Bridge
of Saint Peter and Saint Paul; and the
Street of the Crosses of Sorrow. Not only
are the names of the streets unusual, but
they are often in the most incongruous To-
cations. For instance, If you walk down
Jesus street. and continue in the second
block, you will be startled to find that you
are then on the street Of the New Slaugh-
ter House. The Alley of the Egg and Po-
tato street are just likely to be the
prolongation of the Back of Saint Teresa
street as any other. The Street of tho
Seven Princes may no longer be inhabited
by royalty. but the Avenue of Illustrlous
Men was named for real persons. Tho
Street of the Lost Child derived its name
from popular tradition. but the Avenue
of the Fifth of May was named for ia
nous battle with the French. There are
the Street of the Little Bird. Street OF the
Fish, Bull street and Goat street, and
Streets of the Flies. Rats and Roosters
Then there are the streets named for va
r1ous tradesmen. as the Streets of the Hat
tiers, Tobacconists Coachmen. Milkmcn,
etc. One short 'block glories in the narns
of the Street Of the False Entrance OF
Saint Andrew. The Alley of the Littlo
Candle Shop, the Street of Heads, Street Of
a Thousand Wonders the Square of the
Thief are other oddities 1t is not record
ed exactly as to whether Sad Indian street
and the Street Of Crazy People were named
after those who endeavored to learn all
the street names of the City of Mexico,
but If YOU at least feel inclined to swear
after trying II yourself, you should irst
go over to Devil street.

HAMBURG.
The Germans are preparing to compete
with England and the United States for the
commerce of the world. They are building
ships faster than any other nation. They
are deepening their harbors, improving
their rivers and digging canals. They al
ready have the fastest and best vessels of
the world and their harbors are as good as
any on earth.
This is especially so of Hamburg. The
city has already spent s25,O0O.O0o i'm
proving its quays and docks, and its means
of handling freight are equal to those OF
London and Liverpool. New York city, 1t
is estimated, pays something like $4,000
600 a year for drayage. Hamburg pays
little. The ships are unloaded directly IN
to the cars or into the great storage ware
houses of the free port, and thence shipped
by train and canal boat to every part of
northern and central Europe. The rail-
roads come right down to the wharves, and
half the warehouses are such that they can
drop their goods into the cars or boats.
Indeed it is hard TO imagine better
trade situation than this. Hamburg Is Sit
uated on the Elbe about forty-four miles

Russia's Salt Mines.
from the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
In the Khirgiz steppes of southern RUS.
STA is a strange settlement named IIetzk,
from which 24.3S9 tons of salt comes evory
year. This salt. it has been shown by
recent borings, extends to a depth of go
feet below the surface of the earth At
present tthe workers have dug down 10
a depth of 800 feet. where they are taking
the salt out of an immense and beautiful
chamber that is 7S4 feet long and 10 feet
high. When seen in the radiance of tho
electric lights this underground cavern
shines like fairy palace, for walls and
roof and pillars are snowy white and be-
set with myriads of crystals. each of WHICH
gives a reflection of its own. The greHt
pieces of salt are blasted out with pow
der Just if the mine were a stone
quarry. 1t is very hard to use metal in
the mines. for the salt eats it away quick
ly. On the contrary, wood Is hardened
and preserved beautifully by it.
