able from the inside and should any
thing happen to the hoisting appa-
ratus all that is necessary for the
operator to do is to drop his ballast
and glide quickly to the surface.
1.-THE Andelana has sustained little
damage from her long sleep in the
Deep" said Capt. Smith. Although
lying within 300 yards of the mouth
of the Puyallup river, there is not
more than an inch of silt on her hull.
From her position, lying fiat on the
bottom, it is apparent that she swept
her yards both aft and forward when
she sank. Estimates of her value run
from 100000 to $125. OOO."
Whether Capt. Smith will attempt
to raise the Andelana himself or not
Is questioned. His purpose in going
to Tacoma was largely to test his
outfit and prepare for a trip to the
coast of Vancouver Island, where q
number of treasure ships returning
from Alaska have found resting
places on the bottom of the ocean.
He is now satisfied that his invention
is equal to any emergency and will
risk greater depths.
Capt. Smith is from Milwaukee, and
it was on the great lakes that he got
the idea for his invention. Many
years ago, in the evening, a steamer
was pushing up the coast A little
boy on the shore watched and saw it
collide with another vessel and go
down. Twenty-seven persons lost
their lives, and besides the loss Of
life a cargo of copper. valued at many
thousands of dollars, went to the

At Rest.

Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy loved employ!
The battle fought, the victory Wous
Enter thy Masters joy.
The voice at midnight came,
He started up to hear,
mortal arrow pierced his frame:
He fell, but felt no fear.
TRANQUIL amidst alarms,
1t found him the field,
A veteran slumb'ring on his arms
Beneath his red-croSS shield.
His sword was in his hand,
Still warm with recent fight;
Ready that moment, at command,
Through rock and steel TO smite.
At midnight came the cry,
ITO meet thy God prepared!
He woke and caught his Captains eye,
Then strong in faith and prayer,
His spirit with bound
Burst it's encumbering clay;
His tent, at sunrise, on the ground,
A darkened ruin lay.
The pains of death are past;
Labor and sorrow cease,
And life's long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace
Soldier of Christ, well donei
Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Saviours joy.

accounts for the bent back and tot

Though one never hears Jap baby

it's child-mother quiets it by raising

Gazing from the little portfolio of
the submarine cage in which he was
Theoretically sealed, Worden G. Smith
has viewed the wreck of the British
ship Andelana, which lies at the bot
tom of Commencement bay, Tacoma,
Wash.
AS comfortable as if seated in the
cabin of the finest vessel af1oat, Capt.
Smith, with a telephone receiver at
his ear, calmly gave instructions to
the men between whom and him $50
feet of water interviewed and then
started on his return trip to the sur
face
Since one night in January, 1899,
when a light breeze suddenly sprang
up and the Andelana, lying at anchor
in Tacoma harbor, her foolhardy mas
ter having removed too much ballast,
turned turtle and carried every man
aboard her to a watery grave, no hui
man eye had gazed on the vessel and
lived to tell the tale until Capt. Smith
performed his feat. Diver Billy Bald
win lost his life in the attempt.
Other divers have made the descent,
but without success either in locating
the vessel or getting to the bottom.
But Capt. Smith made the trip under
far different circumstances.
His outfit consists of a specially
constructed scow, a strong donkey
engine and a steel cage. It is this
cage in which Capt. Smith, the in
ventor, made his trip to the bottom of
the harbor.
The steel cage is totally unlike
either the ordinary diving apparatus
