IN A SUBMARINE BOAT.
Sensations of a Person Making His
 Firot VoyaUc Under Water.

Sensations of a Person Making His
 Firot Voyage Under Water.
 In the Woman's Home Companion Morgan Robertson, the well-kn0wh writer of sea stories, describes as fol- lows a trip in a submarine:
 You are not aware of any sensa- tion different from that of normal life in the open. There is none of the sinking, gone and empty feeling that you expected. In spite of what you have read and imagined, there are no sensations to afliict you.
 "The flooring beneath you has takeA an inclination of ten degrees, which continues for few moments; then the man watching the depth indicator again moves his wheel, and the floor becomes horizontal. You are twelve feet beneath the surface, and the mah watching the depth indicator, by oc- casional shifting of the wheel, keeps the boat at this depth. while the con- mander, standing on the platform at the lower end of the coming tower steps, alternately scanning the com pass and the eye piece of the per iscope. steers the course that will bring you to that far-away battleship, and seeks through the reflected haze for some sign of the world above. But there is none in that haze, nor will be for an hour, and as collisions are possible at twelve feet of sub- mergence, the man at the diving gear again moves his wheel, which sends the boat deeper-to tw+lty-foot depth, which immerses the le,!s of the per lscope and keeps the captains eyes fixed only upon the compass.
 twenty minutes go by, and the commander motions to his aid at the diving geHr The boar approaches the surface, Tits the lens of the periscope out of the water. and resumes the horizontal while the captain searches the periscope. Nothing but haze, and q dim line of horizon on which are Q few sails and columns of smoke-noth- ing of that doomed battlcship. Again the boat sinks, and goes on for an other twenty minutes and again she rlses Tor peep, to no results-she has gone but half the distance, and 1t IS too soon to expect them. Thirty minutes later she rises again, and nothing shows; but another peep ten minutes later discloses an anchored boat flying q flag. and soon the other is seen. They are a little to one side, and the course is changed until they bear ahead.
 Now the torpedo tube in the bow is manned, and the disturbance of trim must be cOunteracted by the .nclina- tion of the diving rudder. The tor pedo carried in the tube is always ready; all that is required to dis charge it is to open the bow port and to eject compressed air into the breech. The torpedo does the rest"

Poor Place for Poets.

Poet-I'm going to leave this offen- sively practical country. It's no place for poets.
 Friend-What's happened?
 Poet-Yesterday visited all the news paper offices I could find in suburban town, and at last succeeded in persuad- ing an editor to take a poem at fifty cents. Well, I'd hardly reached the curbstone before I was arrested by the authorities for peddling goods without a license.

ALONE IN MID-OCEAN.

 To be capsized when sailing a sloop across the smallest of ponds appears to fresh-water sailor sufficiently pcrilous. To he upset il mid-oceal from nineteen-foot craft, with no help near, would appear certain death. Ludwig Esenbaum, however, who has recently completed trip across tEe Atlantic in so small vessel, speaks of 1t, says the New York Herald, as one of the incidents" of his journey, and to be regretted chiefly because he lost his watch and some of his supplies.
 Eisenbaum is a sailor who believes that if he went alone across the ocean he could make money exhibiting him. self in dime museums-a belief which events have rudely shattered.
 One morning when he was well out to sea and was riding out southeast erly gale in comfort, with the head of lis sloop held to the wind by a heavy drag, or "sea-anchor," the line to the drag suddenly parted, and his vessel fell off into the trough of the sea.
 q knew what was coming then" he says, "but could do nothing except hold on. As my boat dipped into val. ley; saw a sea toppling over me that looked mile high. The next moment the boat was keel up, and was paw ing at its sides, trying to find hold.
 "I had put eight hundred pounds of rock ballast along the keel, and had fastened it in place with boards. That weight, now on top, brought the boat right side up in hurry, and climbed ina heavy job with my sea-boots and olskins on. Luckily, I had screwed tight the cap to my watertanks, so my fresh water was uninjured. But my watch was gone, and all my provisions that were not in cans were ruined"
 Eisenbpum was seventy-siX days alone at sea, during which time he spoke three steamers. From one of them he secured cheap watch. When Se approached Madeira he hoisted the American flag A lookout reported to the American consul that a man-of- wars boat was coming in under sail. The consul sent tugs to the rescue, and the report was cabled that an American battleship had foundered somewhere in that neighborhood.
 The seventy-six days at sea did not prove lonesome, says the mariner, and he found storms no cause of worry because while riding them out to a sea-anchor he could sleep in comfort Put he was disappointed in his hope of profit, and had to sell his vessel and come home in the steerage.

Works Both Ways.

q have frequently observed" said the vegetarian, "that when man lives on beef he becomes something like an OK; if he eats mutton he becomes sheepish; and if he eats pork the chances are he will become swinish."
 Perhaps you are right" rejoined the obese epicure, land have also observed that a man who lives on nothing but vegetables is apt to be pretty smaN potato."

Worth the Price.

A decidedly seedy-looking individual, who had called to see c. Wesley Thomas, collector of the port, was ad- united to the latter's office after a long wait, says Philadelphia paper.
 II called in reference to MT. Blank s account" abruptly began the visitor. q guess you remember him. He paid S4.5O into the conscience fund about six months ago. I'm Mir. Blanks brother, and upon investigation learn that the goods he smuggled into this country were only worth $40. So you see he paid the government 10 cents too much. Now thought that inas- much as he was so honest, and I'm his brother, yOu--"
 That's enough" interrupted the amused collector; there's your 10 cents. That yarn is certainly worth the price,"
