IN A SUBMARINE BOAT.
Sensations of a Person Making Hi
First VOYAGE Under Water.

Sensations of a Person Making His
First Voyage Under Water.
In the Woman's Home Companion
Morgan Robertson. the well-known
writer of sea stories, describes as fol-
lows a trip in a submarine:
you are not aware of any sensa-
ton different from that of normal life
in the open. There is none of the
sinking, gone and empty feeling that
you expected. In spite of what you
have read and imagined, there are no
sensations to affiict you.
''The flooring beneath You has taken
an inclination of ten degrees, which
continues for few moments; then
the man watching the depth indicator
again moves his wheel, and the floor
becomes horizontal. You are twelve
feet beneath the surface, and the mall
watching the depth indicator, by oc-
casional shifting OF the wheel, keeps
the boat at this depth, while the COM
mander, standing on the platform at
the lower end of the coming tower
steps, alternately scanning the COM
pass and the eye piece of the per-
iscope. steers the course that will
bring you to that far-away hattleship,
and seeks through the reflected haze
for some sign of the world above.
But there is none in that haze, nor
will be for an hour, and as collisions
are possible at twelve feet of sub
mergence, the man at the diving gear
again moves his wheel, which sends
the boat deeper-to twenty-foot depth,
which immerses the lens of the per-
iscope and keeps the captains eyes
fixed only upon the compass.
Twenty minutes go by, and the
| commander motions to his aid at the
diving gear. The boar approaches the
surface, lifts the lens of the periscope
out of the water, and resumes the
horizontal, while the captain searches
the periscope. Nothing but haze. and
a dim line of horizon on which are a
few sails and columns of smoke-noth
ing Of that doomed battleship. Again
the boat sinks, and goes on for an.
other twenty minutes. and again she
rises for a PEEP, to no results-she
has gone but half the distance, and il
Is too soon to expect them. Thirty
minutes later she rises again, and
nothing shows; but another peep ten
minutes later discloses an anchored
boat flying flag, and soon the other
is seen. They are little to one side
and the course is changed until they
bear ahead.
Now the torpedo tube in the bow
is manned, and the disturbance of trim
must be counteracted by the inclina
ton Of tie diving rudder The tor
pedo carried in the tube is always
ready; all that is required to dis
charge it is to open the bow port and
to eject compressed air into tie
breech. The torpedo does the rest. y

Taking Fort Fisher.

"The planting of our cOlors upon the
parapet inside the walls of Fort Fisher
was as fine piece of daring as | wit
messed during the war;" says Al Nor
ris Of company A, One Hundred and
Seventeenth New York Volunteers.
shortly before we took Fort Fisher
General Ben. Butler had ordered a
magazine boat run up near the lower
edge Of the Notifications and there eX-
ploded, but it did more harm to our
cause than anything else. Then we
were called back to City Point from
where we had started three days be-
fore. Next, under command of General
Terry, we began to retrace our steps
toward Fort Fisher. Our regiment
the One Hundred and Seventeenth
led the charge, and it was gallant
one. too. General Curtis, the CON-
mander of the brigade. after consider
able trouble, succeeded in getting upon
the parapet. and, turning, he shouted:
Come on, boys; we must take the fort
or die
"The words had an inspiring effect
upon the weary soldiers, and with a
yell they began clambering over the
parapet. In less time than it takes
to tell it our color-bearer had crepi
ND. and with one hand clinging to the
breastworks and the other grnspina
the flag, he managed to plant the stars
and stripes inside the wall. Then he
held it there until our boys had got i'll
side and captured the fort. During
the fight General Curtis lost an eye
which was gouged out by thrust
| from bayonet."

Certain Habits Unconscious1y Formed

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-

if it could be transformed, lift a
weight of many tons.
1t sometimes requires higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains Of
a pernicious habit than to lead Il for

writes from an Indiana town:

leaning over the bank, and with Il

Teano,s OF Curious Make.

To the collector of curios teapots Of
fer an interesting quest. Some quaint
specimens have survived from the ear
ly days of tea-making in England,
which was introduced from China by
the East India Company 800 years
ago.
At first the better quality of tea,
and 1t was this that was almost ex-
clusively imported, was of an exorbi-
tant price. No wonder then that the
leaders of fashion, who INDUCED in
such costly luxury, should desire
costly vessels for the proper enjoy
ment of it. Naturally, too, they turn
ed their eyes toward the far east in
their search for the right pot to make
the tea in and TO drink it out Of. So it
happened that produce of clay GUST
ed gold and silver from their position
In cases where tea was concerned.
The demand for Chinese teapots
then became so great that merchants
could not import them fast enough
and in time tle English potters tried
their haud-at making them, vieing
with one another in devising original
shapes of their own. Teapots as
sumed the quaint gujse of houses,
ships, shells, fr':it and animals. I'M
portant historical events were also re-
