In college professor who went with
Mr. Simon Lake into the diving COM

story is related in Submarine Naviga-
tion." by Mr. Alan Burgoyne
Every one knows that II an uncorked
bottle filled with air is placed In water,
mouth down. only as much water will
enter II as is required to compress the
air in the bottle enough TO equal the
pressure OF the water. II the air pres
sure could be otherwise increased no
water at all would come In.
For more than half a century this
principle has been made use OF In sub
marine boats to provide mode o..
egress for a diver, In the Lake boat
there Is an "air chamber" forward in
which the air pressure Is made tritle
greater than the water pressure out
side. When a door In the bottom Of
the car is opened no water comes in.
and those IN the boat, reaching down
with a short rake, are able 10 pick up
oysters sponges or whatever they see
on the bottom Of the ocean.

and he knew all about the theory Of
the case. but still he had not quite

OUTWITTED THE SISTER
Love Laughed at the Restraints Of a
Convent.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
That love laughs at locksmiths has
once more been proved by an elopement
from a convent in the town of Troyes.
A few weeks ago M. and Nine. De-
bare, prominent inhabitants of the
town, brought their daughter to the con-
vent Of the Good Shepherd and stated
to the sisters that for reasons which
would rather not explain they wanted
the young girl to remain in the convent
until she became of age.
Mile. Declare, beautiful, and 16, was
soon the favorite Of all, and seemed de-
lighted with everything. Her behavior
was so excellent that when the other
day well-dressed gentleman, of about
thirty, called with letter purporting to
be from her father, and asked to be al
lowed to see his niece, the permission
was readily given and he was shown
into a parlor divided into two parts by
iron bars, reaching from floor to cell
ing.
A few minutes later Mile. Declare, es
corted by nun, appeared on the other
side of the bars, and the supposed uncle
and niece entered into a conversation.
The "uncle' severely reproached the
girl with having, by her conduct, com
PEELED her parents to send her away
from home, and the "niece' burst intt
tears and promised to mend her ways

pecting nun opened the small window in
the grille. " X 81 ~
Hardly had she done SO when Mile.
Declare began to climb thru. The. as
tonished nun clutched at the girl s
skirts, but the 'uncle' caught his
supposed niece by the shoulders, and in
the end she got safely thru the open:
ing, leaving her skirt in the hands OF
the nun on the other side of the parti
ton.
"Uncle' and "niece' then FASTENED
to closed carriage which was waiting
in the street and drove off at full
speed.
Nothing has been seen Of the couple
since and the police have failed tt
obtain any clue. f. :.
The supposed uncle was simply the
girl 8 lover, and her parents had, it ap
pears, sent her to the convent in order
to put an end to their attachment.
