Sponge Fishing Up-to-Date.

Experiments are being made At La Goulette
Tunis. with a submarine vessel, invented
by Able Raoul, the vicar general Of Carthage
to be used in sponge fishing. The vessel is
made OF steel and resembles in shape a huge
poipCise. The entrance to the central chamber
is Dramatically closed by a heavy lid fastened
with screws. and the occupants survey their
surroundings through four portfolios. A long
spear terminating in q graphing hook, worked
from the interior of the submarine, seizes the
sponge and deposits it IN a uet at the side Of
the vessel. The craft Is propelled by electric
ity furnished by accumulaI0rs through a cable
attached to vessel ON the surface. with which
il IS In constant communication by means Of
telephone. The vessel is lighted 10y electricity
and lamp hanging in the bow lights up the
surroundings while the sponge fisher Is beneath
the water. Three men may easily descend in
the vessel at the same time. The object Of the
vessel is TO reduce TO cipher the great NOR
tality among sponge fshers.-Ncw York Times

A Remarkable Prince.

One of the most remarkable members
of the house OF Thurn and Taxis is
Prince Rudolph. who a few years ago
abandoned his name and his titles to-
gether with all his prerogatives of a
Prince OF Thurn and Taxis, as a condi-
tion for receiving from the head Of his
house that recognition and sanction OF
German law TO render II valid union.
he being the scion of ''mediatized" or
formerly reigning family, and she a wo-
man of humble birth. Her name was
Jennie Stangler. and she was an actress,
when he first led her to the altar.
AS his relatives and the chief of his
family declined at the time to consent
to the marriage, he soon realized that
life with her would be impossible in
Austria and in Bavaria. So he deter
mined to leave the country and to set
tie abroad, where he would be able to
earn his livelihood without being sub
jected to any persecution or annoyance
on the part o. his kinfolk and their
friends. He migrated first to Bulgaria
and then to Eastern Roumelia. where,
styling himself "Dr. Taxis," and drop
ping his titles, he settled down to a
lucrative practice as a lawyer. becoming
eventually the principal Judge Of Philip
oppolis.

A Sumptuous Court.

Prince Albert, the present chief OF the
family, is married TO Archduchess Marie
Of Austria, and at Ratisbonn, where he
makes his home, maintains a full
iedged court. far more sumptuous and
magnificent than that OF many reigning
sovereigns. with an immense retinue of
chamberlains, equerries. gentlemen and
ladies in waiting. private chaplains.
private bands of music, and a perfect
army OF mounted and foot guards. His
consort, the archduchess, has her own
household on an imperial scale. and one
of his wedding presents to her was one
of the most luxuriousIy furnished and
superbly equipped private trains in ex-
istence. composed of eight cars.
His mother was that Princess Helen OF
Bavaria, who was afianced to the EN-
peror Of Austria, before being jilted by
him for the sake of her younger sister
Elizabeth. Proud, ambitious, clever. and
deeply in love with her flance. IT was A
terrible blow to Duchess Helen, to see
the Cinderella of the family carry of
the man she adOred and the crown
which she would have been so happy to
have worn. However, her good sense in
duced her to keep her sorrows and trou-
bies TO herself and TO put the best face
possible on the matter Not only during
the marriage festivities but also
throughout her subsequent life she acted
to perfection the part Of the loving SYM
pathizing sister and appeared to rejoice,
in public at any rate. at her sister Eliza
beth's good fortune. Eventually she con-
ferred her hand upon the late Prince
Thurn and Taxis- But although the
prince literally worshiped his beautiful
wife, she never professed for him any
thing more than mild federation, and re-
tained to the day OF her death an air Of
intense sadness and kind of weary
absent look. which had much in common
with that of the late Empress OF Aus
tria. who after Princess Helens death
assumed the role of a mother 20 her sis

scripts from manager to manager,
only to meet rejection or moderate re-
ward. But a busy world worships
success and has little leisure TO devote
to their trials and misfortunes.
The sale of the acting rights of Gil
bert and Sullivan's operas in London
for $385,000 Will serve to turn the
head of many an aspiring composer
and hbrettist. Think of it. Pima
FORE" The Pirates Of Penzance,' =
Patience" and "Iolanthe' were first
produced about a quarter of century
ago, and here the managers are bid
ding fortunes for the privilege OF
producing them at this late day. Ii
these men in collaboration could Sc
cure a series of perennial successes,
why may not some one of the thou
sand unrecognized geniuses happen
OF single triumph? AT this rate one
"hit" should suffice to keep him and
his heirs in lasting affiuence.
On the other hand it may be asked
how many of the comic operas OF cur
tent manufacture are likely to last
out a generation of playgOers. If the
best of the New York hits" by good
luck, after hourishing for a single
winter season, survives the heated sea-
son, it is spoken of as singularly
hardy growth. We must have novel
ties, good or bad, the managers say, at
any price. Gilbert and Sullivan were
well enough in their day, but they are
old-fashioned. They really had a Sc
rious purpose, too. We must have
nonsense. Instead of witty satire and
tuneful songs, the market calls for
jingle and burlesque, lingerie and
slang. The managers know, and they
are business men.
If there are any Gilberts and Sulli-
vans among us waiting fOndly for an
audience, they must console them
selves with the thought they were born
toe late. 1t would be better for them
if they would turn to writing IN the
modern style. Besides, it is easier.

TWo-FOld Financial Reform.
How Banks and Taxpayers Could Both
"Be Relieved"

Secretary Shaw's announcement
that he will have $4O,0OO,OOO available
for deposit in the banks if there
should be a tight money market this
fall has laid him and his party open
to criticism on two sides.
On one hand, it is said, it is none of
the Governments business TO act as
doctor in attendance upon Wall
Street. There is now on deposit with
the national banks more than $780,
100000 of Government funds. To let
them have $4O,OOO,OOO more would be
very much ike administering a stimu-
liant, from which there must be a reac-
ton when the time should come to
withdraw the deposits If anything
Is wrong with the currency system, it
Is argued, it should be built up and
strengthened so as to be proof against
these periodical attacks of chills and
fever.
But why should the Government go
on increasing its vast and unnecessary
surplus, the man of average sense
asks. Why not reduce taxes? Why
lot revise the tariff and solve the
problem by leaving IN the peoples
pockets the millions now levied for
boarding in Government vaults7 Be
yond what is needed to pay the legiti-
mate costs of government honestly
and economically administered, taxa
ton becomes oppression. A surplus
income Is a constant incitement to ex-
travagance, and Congress needs to be
shielded from temptation of that
kind.
Secretary Shaw must know how
flimsy is the expedient he suggests for
use in time of emergency. If he will
bring about a change in the laws
which will leave as much as possible
o. the peoples money in circulation
he will not only help 10 relieve the
banks, but the taxpayers as well.

circulation than those of any living author. At
the close Of 1902 his books had been printed in
forty-fye different languages and dialects His
first appreciators curiously enough, were the
Greeks. The first Greek translation Of his work
