HOW ONE FEELS DOWN
 IN A SUBMARINE VESSEL

of boat, two men can walk forward and walk aft without disturbing the trim more than a few degrees but in the short, more mobile Holland type, this is not practicable. You must not smoke, for there are gasoline fumes and battery gas about you, and a lighted match at the right spot and moment might cause an explosion that would overcome, by internal pressure. the 35 pounds of ex- ternal resistance in the stout walls of the hull, and you might not live long enough to be drowned You cannot enjoy the scenery of the sea except through linn tied periscope, but you may eat hot meals cooked on electric stoves, and read fine print under as good electric light as you have on shore. Should water come in through a leak or a carelessly opened seacock. and overcome the 300 pounds reserve buoyancy, you have a means of escape denied you in the closed compart- ment of a surface boat.

~ DESCENT in a submarine is not P1 as narrowing an experience as
 might be imagined. writes Nor Work. At first thought two distinct forms of death present themselves to the mind-suffocation and drowning. But there is less danger of drowning than there is in a surface craft of the same size; for the submarine, strongly built to withstand a calculated pressure at S50 feet depth, cannot spring leak from any accident less than collision with strong craft-which can be avoided py diving deep enough. As for suffocatlon that fear disappears when the mind ais- passionately considers the forty cupic feet of air. compressed to pressure oi POGO pounds to the square inch, ana car ried in tanks conveniently distributed about the boats interior.
 Most of the peris incident to a sea- faring life are avoided in the submarine. Yet there are dangers and ineonveniehces' of course. peculiar to this mode of navi- gation that do not pertain to surface craft. Aside from the nervousness that one feels at first when enclosed in an air-tight cylinder with several feet of water overhead, there are no bad sensa- tions to afhict one. You are practically in an engine room, with the smell of oil and gasoline in your nostrils and the buzzing of a motor in your ears. While the boat is on the surface, you can feel the motion of the waves and hear the wash of the water; but not when it is submerged. There is no sinking sensa- ton, such as is felt in an elevator or on a toboggan. A depth diagram will tell you how deep down you are, and an in- clnation dial will apprise you of the angle at which you are diving or rising
 but aside from the vibration of the mo- tor, you feel nothing, except. perhaps, in a heavy sea. Then, as the submarine whether submerged or not, is tossed about, and lifted up and down by the passing waves, there is a feeling of lat eral pressure, such as comes to you in swing. This is rather remarkable, since you feel no vertical sensation.
 There are rules to be observed. You must sit still in the place given to you; for, should you wander around, you would bring trouble to the mind and profanity to the speech of the man at the hori- zontal steering gear In the Lake type

For eigners can still get them for that, but Americans have to pay the trust $2S-an increase of from 40 to 55 per cent. The trust has maintained the $2S rate for home customers without variation since it was organized, representing net in crease of profits of over $7O,O00,OOO above a normal amount for that time.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
,rom the New York Press.

From the New York Press
 A man who doesn't talk back to his wife is too smart to be married.
 Of all the good ways to make love to a girl inc best is just to keep telling her SO.
 It is just like woman to think it would be much more immodest to climb down a fire escape in pajamas
 When man wins bet he can't help bragging about 1t even to his wife, though he knows she'll get 1t away from him.
 If a cold coin slips down girls neck she can make everybody believe that all she is thinking about is beautiful Sun day school lesson.

church. Considerable feeling was EVIL
denced by President Smith against in
dividuals, who. he said. had spied on
the domestic and marital relations Of
the high officials Of the Mormon
church, and for that reason he had
favored the passage Of the Evans bill
TO prevent prosecutions for polyga.
nous cohabitation, unless complaints
were entered by husband or wife
against the other. This bill was pass.
ed, but vetoed by the governor OF
Utah.
It was brought out that all OF Mr.
Smiths predecessors. as president OF
the Mormon church. had been polyga.
mists and that the man chosen to sue
coed him has more than one wife.
Mr. Smith was asked which he
would obey. the law OF the land or rev.
elations from God. IL the two were In
conflict. He said he might obey the
revelation, though II was not compul.
sorry. He added: 81 should not like
to be put in a position where I would
have to desert my children-I could
not do that
Mr.. Smith testified that the law
making polygamous cohabitation a
crime was passed by the Utah terri.
torial legislature, which was over
whelmingly composed OF Mormons.
and that the constitutional convention
was composed of large majority OF
Mormons.
President Smith testified that Reed
Smoot had to get the consent of his
associated apostles in the church be-
fore he could become a candidate for
senator.

practices a few years ago, declared In

ence was reached than could be by

God in taking this means Of putting
the truth Of Mormonism before the
world" said Mr.. Roberts. The subject
Of Mr.. Roberts address was wit.
