The writer counted no less than 500 reckless human beings seeking the sensation to De found in submarine naviga- tion. When they were all aboard the captain commanded the sailors on the dock to unfasten the ropes that held the vessel, and himself going below, the hatchway was closed and sealed dramatically, absolutely water tight. The boat then sank from sight in the great tank of water and a submarine journey to Paris was commenced. On reaching a certain great depth of the water, indicated by one of the ships instruments(of measurement, the propellers were set in motion by a slight pressure of the electric bpttoR. The entire motive force I hplYed in the queer craft used 5n the Journey Under and Over the Sea" is electrical.
 The huge steel hull trembled, the great, mighty engine throbbed, the powerful propellers churned the waters into a foam ing fury and the boat darted forward through the transparent watery mass.

NOW HAS A PARIS BRANCH.

Y. w. c. A. Established Under Guid-

No Young Women's Christian Asso-

for the reason that no enterprisang per

In hand until few months ago. Il

an interest In Christian associations 10

American Young Women's Christian
Association at Rue de Turin, Eve
minutes walk from the business CEN

with garden in front, at least thirty
women can be housed, boarded and
we'll cared for.
This has been done through the ac-
tivfty Of Mrs. John ]. Hof, who for
several years has stirred up the en-
ergy Of the American Christian resi-
dents of Paris and has produced won
deTs. On the opening day the sunlit
drawing and dining rooms were crowd
ed with American residents who lis
tened to bright discourse from Mrs.
Hon, witty speech from John Wana-
maker, who has done SO much for
Christian young men and women in
Paris; an address by Mrs. Beach,
whose interesting Sunday evening
meetings for American students are
so well attended. and a prayer by Rev.
DR.. Thurber; then tea and lemonade
were served, after which every one ran
up the two flights Of stairs to look at
the cheerful bedrooms.
The preamble to the constitution
says that the members of this asso-
citation are actuated by a desire to
stimulate interest In the religious de-
velopment Of young women in Paris,
to improve their intellectual, social and
physical conditions, and to do this
there will be classes in French, Ger
man, lectures, social and Bible meet
ings and teas, besides physical culture.
The fees for active and sustaining
members are 81 a year, and board and
lodging from $5 to So a week, and any
woman of good moral character may
be elected as associate member by
vote Of the members present at any
regular meeting Of the board.-Brook-

Turkish books and booksellers were

valuable books 30 greatly that he can
hardly be induced to sell them, al
though they form part Of his stock in

Koran that his commercial talents are
seen. There is a law forbiddlng the
sale Of this sacred book, because 1t
Is essential to the salvation of every
Turk, and the bookseller Is supposed
to give 1t away. So he does; but in
this fashion: You make him a pres
ent of fifty piastreS, and he makes
you a present of the Koran! Many
of the books displayed by the book
seller are IN manuscript which the
old fashioned Turks esteem more
highly than print"

pEAE FIND CARS IN PIANO.

Instrument used with Success In q

Pupils In the Horace Mann school

Sarah A. Jordan Monro. She has her
deaf-mute pupils give a play, as they
have many times before, and in this
also the piano is used for drlll. Its
aim is to overcome the monotone liable

With the instrument they can learn
infection and phraAng and acquire a
sense Of rhythm by repeating 10 music

From teeling the vibrations Of the
piano as the teacher plays the pupils

"Jingle Bells" from feeling Il In the
piano better than they can read It

Hence the piano serves - ears to these
deaf children.
The piano Is not the only way to
teach sound, but II is the most eftec-
tive. Until the present system was
adopted the pupils followed the teach
er in a rhythmic exercise by ''step-
ping out beats" or clapping their
hands But It was still better when
they could recits their Hey Diddle

books That would be the perform
ance of a little class. Older ones drill
on such verses as Merry, Merry
Christmas BellS" They do not sing
these songs. but they make tones in
harmony and they recognize a tune
after the teacher has played a few
measures, To test them she begins
'Homs, Sweet Home" and the chill
dren all smile.
II am sure" she says "tnat they
would recognize America II a band

would get the rhythm. They like to
sing when it Is being played, and once
In fremont Temple. when the pupils
were there for public school exercises,
they asked II they might join in the
chorus, and l let them, and they did
much better than people who have
no ear for music. They take such de-
light In the Star Spangled Banner
and all those national airs that l think
they ought to know them. Pleasure is
not, however. the main object Of our
music. Our serious school work cen
ters around the piano and it Is Of great
importance"
Unlike other schools for the deaf,
the Horace Mann teaches exclusively
by the oral method and discourages the
use Of signs and the manual alphabet.

Fish Had False Teeth.

II. s. Noble, a well-known traveller,

1t win be seen that In 1880. while
Is per cent Of those employed were ed
gagged in agriculture, only 81 per cent
were engaged in trade and transpor-
tation, manufacturing and mechanical
pursuits but that In 1900 less than 80
per cent were engaged in agriculture,
while almost IL per cent were engaged
in manufacturing and commerce.
This does not. OF course, indicate the
extinction Of agriculture. II merely
indicates change In Its relative i'm
portance. The number Of persons ac-
tually engaged In agriculture increased
between 1880 and 1900 from T,Tl4,0O0
to 10SS2,000 and the number IL likely
to increase for many years. especially
If our vast irrigable domain is thrown
open TO settlement and is settled by
bona fine homeseeksrs With the
growth In the commercial and indus-
trial population there IL bound to be a
growth In the number Of those en-.
gagged in the business Of growing their
food supply. In a country such as this,
with its broad areas Of fertile land
available for industry, and with It's
vast resources Of the raw material of
industry and Of manufacturing power,
agriculture is bound to demand the
services Of more and more men. To
make this clear It is sufficient to say
that in 1880 there were engaged In
commerce and the mechanical indus
tries 2,250,000 persons, who were fed
by the labors OF 7,T14,000 agricultur-
lists, while in 1900 there were engaged
in commerce and the mechanical In
dustries 1882 900 persons, who were
fed by the labors of 1885,, 900 persons.
While it is still true that agriculture
Is and for many years is likely to re-
main, the foundation industry on
which rests the prosperity of the
whole country, such change In the
distribution Of occupations as that
which has occurred since 1880 Is Of
great social and political as well as
Of economic significance. It Is reflect
ed in the growth Of cities, in the rise
of problems Of municipal government
now undergoing investigation and so
luton and in the ferment Of labor and
capital. 1t has had and is likely to
have political effects Of far-reaching
importance affecting our internal poll
cies and our foreign relations-St
