IN A SUBMARINE.
Strange Sensations Of Trip that IL
Safer than on the Surface.

Strange Sensations Of a Trip that IL
Safer than on the Surface.
Most OF the perils incident to a sea-
farlng life are avoided in the subma-
rine. Yet there are dangers and in
convenlences, of course, peculiar to
this mode of navigation, that do not
pertain to surface craft. Aside from
the nervousness that one feels at first
when Enclosed in an alright cylinder
with several feet Of water overhead
there are no bad sensations to at11ict
one. You are practically in all engine
room, with the smell of oil and gaso-
line 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 1t is
submerged. There is no sinking sensa-
ton. such as is felt in an elevator or
on toboggan. A depth dial will tell
you how deep down you are, and an
inclination will apprise you of the an
gle at which you are diving or rising;
but aside from the vibration Of the
motor you feel nothing, except, per-
haps, in a heavy sea. Then, as the
submarine, whether submerged OF not,
is tossed about, and lifted up and
down by the passing waves, there is a
feeling Of lateral pressure, such as
comes to you in swing. This is rath-
er remarkable. since you feel no ever
tical' 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 horizontal steering gear.
In the lake type 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 $50 pounds of ex-
ternal resistance in the stout steel
walls OF the hull, and you might not
live long enough to be drowned. You
cannot enjoy the scenery of the sea
except through limited periscope, but
you may eat hot meals cooked on cleo
trio 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 sea-cock,
and overcome the 300 pounds reserve
buoyancy, you have means Of escape
denied to you in the closed compart-
ment Of surface boat-WOrld's

from "The Princess"


When l am come to the House of the
Dead,
Promise me this-the Princess said:
Once a year when the land grows
green,
And the pulse of the world beats
strong once more,
Come to the place Of my frozen sleep,
Lift the latch of my silent door.
Garry me forth to the world l loved
The bright warm world that l left
behind
Give me the glimpse of the sun again,
The open sky and the touch of the
wind.
Take me back to the streets knew,
The noise and the clamor, and the
gay unrest;
The laughter and cries and the broken
songs
OF the old glad life loved the best.
When We come to a place that my
women knew,
Where the tall palms crowd in the
temple square,
And a rose vine swings like pen
dant flame
Let me rest for a moment there!
Carry me forth as BELTS my state,

Just one day in the happy world,
Then turn in peace from my silent

Mr.. Barnum Knew Them.

The late P. T. Barnum was a keen
student or human nature, as we'll as a
natural humorist, and nothing which
set forth human traits that were odd,
or amusing, escaped his attention. He
was very fond Of telling stories Of in
cidents that brought out features in
human character--one of which, that
delighted him immensely, was connect
ed with the Siamese Twins.
When he was exhibiting those orient
al freaks, the press Of the country
made them widely known, and they
became very soon one of his best draw
ing cards.
One day there came to see them a
back-country rustic, who was perfectly
absorbed in them, and inquisitiye
enough in regard to them t. require
almost bureau OF information to an
swer his innumerable questions. Mr..
Barnum happened to be the one ques-
toned, and he was asked their age
occupation, original home, whether
they were single or married, their
weight and stature, and their religious
belief. Nothing, at any rate, was too
trivial or irrelevant, which the rustic
thought Of, all Of which interested the
Snowman intensely.
Finally, the bucolic visitor started
slowly, but reluctantly, to leave; but,
after walking away a few steps, he re-
turned, and said, with the most solemn
simplicity:
'sThey are brothers, 1 presume."-

It shows the population to be $780,

that there is no other European coun-

so slowly. The percentage of increase

The seats for the Ysaye recital at

on sale at Stansfield's drug store to-

was anticipated before the sale
opened. No doubt there will be a

Belgian violinist.

ranged from 81 to 49, In Topeka the
price of 81 prevails for any seat in
the house.
The Ysaye recital is the second
number on the pipe organ course of
entertainments, and the profits will be
applied on the pipe organ fund.

THANK GOD FOR KANSAS.

ltrom the Milwaukee Daily News.
Kansas is not judicial or cautious,
neither is it safe or sane 1t is
given to Mysteries rather than to con-
servatism. It is not disposed to look
at both sides of a question until it is
unable to tell which side is right. It
makes up its mind what is going to be
good for it and then it does it with a.
whoop.
Just now Kansas is doing things to
the Standard Oil octopus, which has
defied the governments of the several
states and the government at Wash
ington. And Kansas is making it
mighty interestin' for the monopoly.
It's a way Kansas has. Kansas is
"anarehistic.' Vested rights do not
appal it. The sacredness Of property
does not restrain its impious hands.
When the slave power was reaching
out for new territory, it sought lodge
ment in Kansas. The men of Kansas
did not believe in slavery. They were
satisfied that it was wrong and they
didn't propose to permit it a foothold
an the new state. The constitution
recognized slavery. The clergy de-
cIared it ordained of God. 1t had the
sanction Of laws both humane and di-
vine. That didn't make any difference
