Could Not Rise.
IRON the Chicago News

From the Chicago News.
There is thrilling story of the adj
venture of French submarine boat
while carrying out manoeuvres recent
ly in the neighborhood OF Havre. The
little vessel entered the estuary OF
Che Seine and proceeded some dis
lance up the river. Then an attempt
was made to bring it to the surface.
but It failed to rise. The fact that
the specific gravity Of fresh water was
less than that of sea water had been
overlooked. For twenty minutes ef-
forts were made to bring the boat TO
the surface, but without avail, and the
position became more serious when
several Of the crew grew faint. owing
to the foulness Of the air.
To make matters worse, the sub
marine. instead Of rising, showed signs
of settling on the river bed and be-
coming fixed there. The officer in COM
mand, at length, perceiving the cause
Of the trouble, made for the open sea
at full speed. All the while the men
who were suffering behaved admirably.
Shortly afterward they had the sat-
isfaction of noting that their position
was improving, and that the boat was
gradually rising as they entered the
denser water, and finally they reached
the surface.
BY this time the crew were almost
overcome, but. with the exception OF
three, they quickly recovered on reach
ing the fresh air. The three i'm ques-
ton were so Ill that they had TO be
removed TO hospital.

ana that they return to school and do
not become truants.
Keeping Track of sick Children.
A card index system has been start
cd by means of which careful track
is kept of the children under treat
ment. This, combined with the nurs-
ing at the schools. has brought down
the number of exclusions from 24,5SS
IN the quarter ending Dec. 81, 1903. to
4iS IN the succeeding quarter. ONLY
the more serious cases, such as those
OF dlphtheria and scarlet fever. are
now excluded
These figures nullify any charge
that the medical inspector of schools
encourages truancy and illiteracy to
a dangerous degree.
The prevalence OF trachoma in the
schools is one of the most serious
problems that has to be dealt with.
In 1902 five oculists were appointed to
make an investigation on the subject
any they found that about II per cent.
or the school children were afflicted
with trachoma in some degree.
Inc regular inspectors were then
specially instructed in the diagnosis
OF trachoma. They speedily excluded
SO many children for this cause that
all the dispensaries and hospitals in
the city were so congested with trach-
oma cases that they could not attend
to other work. Very soon the authori-
ties OF these institutions would not
treat these cases, as a general rule. If
they did treat them, the surgeons in
charge would not take the trouble to
stamp the cards showing that the
children were under treatment, and
exclusion of the children would there
fore be continued by the inspector.
But even this difficulty did not
daunt the department of health. Just
as it had established it's own
ursing system. so it started it's own
rachoma hospital, fitting up the old
portions of the Gouveneur Hospital
for the purpose. Ten doctors and sur
geons have been assigned to it, with
a number of nurses.

THE GAME OF
DUPLICATE LETTERS,

Here is q game that can be started

many a quarter of an hour that other
wise would lag.
One girl propounds a question, such
as:

The girl whose turn Is next must
answer with a sentence that shall
have at least three words in IL that
begin with the same letter as the
noun lamp post" For instance, she
might reply:
II would leap loyalty TO light you"
The next girl may ask

The reply may be:

were not dolefully poor"

spur Of the moment are often so lu-
dicrous that they would make an owl

ROOD scarevr cd sussex.

Rock Scarevs of SUSSEX.
Small boys in Sussex spend all heir
available time in the fields soaring the
rocks from the crops during the
growing season, and after harvest
they must gather fints in the fields
and pile them up in heaps for carting
away. These are used on the roads
and for building.
Frightening birds is easy work COM
pared with picking stones in the
fields, but both callings are necessary
in the routine work of the farm.
The boys wear white smock frocks
and corduroy trousers and present a
quaint appearance. II their work
calls them too far afield to go home
for the MONDAY meal, they carry
their provender with them in the
shape of slice Of heavy pudding
made of flour, water and suet. Aus
tralian damper is light compared with
this duff" but II is very filling. and
the boys seem to flourish on II.
During the turnip season the boys
enjoy themselves hugely digging a
Juicy "Swede" and getting away with
IL whenever they feel hungry. The
season is short. and when IL is over
there are no other free lunches at
hand.
These boys are expert poachers and
snare many hares and rabbits in sea-
son or out Of season. Partridges also
suffer, especially at the hands Of the
shepherd boys, who spend all their
time on the South Downs looking
after immense herds of black-faced
sheep which produce the most succu-
lent mutton in the world.
The life seems utterly dreary and
toilfully monotonous, but the young
sters thrive on It II one may Judge
from the rude health which nost OF
them enjoy.

have hard work in making these lads

boys. They can scent southerly

drawl of the natives, il is not easily
understood by strangers. This is in
