officer of the French navy, writing in
La Nature, and translated for Literary
Digest, calls with some justification,
"the eye of the submarine" Writes
Mr.. Jourdan:
I'm principle, the periscope is COM
posed of a tube of small diameter
placed vertically on the upper part
of the submarine. It's lower end pen
etrateS into the boat, while it's up
per end rises above the water by a
few inches.
1T works by one of the simplest op-
tical devices-the use of mirrors. A
mirror in the upper end of the tube,
inclined to 45 degrees to the horizon
tai. receives the images of objects on
the water and sends them vertically
downward to a second parallel mirror
the submarine. :.
Though every maritime nation has
adopted for it's submarines an instru-
ment based on this theory, some, as in
our own case, have an excellent one,
while others have been retarded in the
utilization of submarines by the in
sufficiency and ineffectiveness of their
optical devices.
Without betraying military Sc
crets, we may give few details re-
garding the installation of the peri
scope on French submarines, which
will make their working little
clearer
''In the first place, the mirrors,
spoken of above, are replaced by
prisms. The arc of the horizon cov-
cred by the upper prism is about 80
degrees. The periscope has two
tubes, short one, fixed in the hull
q. and movable one which slides
in it. The latter is pushed up above
the surface, or withdrawn below it,
at will.
"The tube is moved up and down by
screw, counterweight, or even by
little electric motor, as in our
latest models. The upper prism is
fixed in the movable tube, the lower
one in the stationary tube. Certain
imaginary pictures that have recently
been published show the images
thrown on a horizontal table under
the eyes of the commanding officer.
This is an error. The observer places
his eye at single or double eye

Worry Postal Authorities.

Because the postal administration
has imposed a duty of Ave pfennigs
instead of two on postal cards intend
cd for urban delivery, the citizens Of
Hanover have inaugurated a singular
strike against the postal authorities.
Instead of writing postal cards. they
all write letters, and, not satisfied
with sending their effusions in an en-
velope, they fill it with newspaper so
as to bring the weight of the letter to
the maximum of 25o grams. AS the
envelopes they now use are of the
maximum size tolerated it Is easy to
obstruct letter box with only doz-
en- of such missives. The postal au-
thorities are alarmed at this obstruc-
tion of the postal service, and it is
probable that the former tariff of two
pfennigs on postal cards will have to
be reestablished.

What bowling wilderness, to be

rejoined, willing to agree with her for
the sake of prolonging the interview.
But to me 1t is nothing more than a
dreary wilderness, as l say; barren,
rock-ribbed gulch affording an indif-
ferent right-of-way for two railroads. "
"For one," she corrected, in quick
upfash of loyalty for her kin.
The secretary shifted his gaze from
the mountains to the maiden and
smiled. She was exceedingly good to
look upon-high-bred, queenly and
Just now with the fine fire of enthu-
siasm to quicken her pulses and to
send the rare flush to neck and cheek.
Jastrow, the cold-eyed, the business
automaton set to go off with click at
Mr.. Somerville Darrah's touch, had
ambitions not automatic. Some day
he meant to put the world of business
under foot as a conqueror, standing
triumphant on the apex of that pyra-
mid of success which the Mr.. Somer-
vile Darrahs were so successfully up
rearing. When that day should come,
there would need to be an establish

Miss Carteret would fill the require

But this was a divagation, and he
pulled himself back to the askings of
the moment, agreeing with her again
without reference to his private con-
victions.
For one, I should have said," he
amended. 1--WE mean to have it that
way, though an unprejudiced onlooker
might be foolish enough to say that
there is pretty good present pros

But Miss Carteret was in a contra
dictory mood. Moreover, she was a
woman, and the way to a woman's

Virginia leaned over the railing TO
look past the car and the dovecote sta
ton, shading her eyes to shut out the
blink from the sun-fired peaks
why, they are soldiers!" she ex-
claimed. "At least, some of them have
guns on their shoulders. And SEQ
they are forming In line!"
The secretary adjusted his eye
glasses.
by Jove! you are right; they have
armed the track force. The new chief
of construction doesn't mean to take
any chances of being shaken loose by
force. Here they come"
The end of track of the new line
was diagonally across the creek from
the Rosemary's berth and short
pistol shot farther down stream. But
to advance it to a point opposite the
private car, and to gain the altitude of
the high embankment directly across
from the station, the new line turned
short out of the main canyon at the
mouth of the intersecting gorge, de-
scribing long, U-shaped curve around
the head of the lateral ravine and
doubling back upon itself to reenter
the canyon proper at the higher ele-
vation.
The curve which was the beginning
of this U-shaped loop was the morn
ing's scene of action, and the Utah
track layers, 200 strong. moved to the
front in orderly array. with armed
guards as flankers for the handcar
load of rails which the men were push
ing up the grade.
Jastrow darted into the car, and
moment later his place on the observa-
ton platform was taken by wrath
full industry colonel fresh from his
dressing-room- SO fresh, indeed, that
he was coatless. hatless, and collarless,
and with the dripping bath sponge
clutched like a missile to hurl at the
impudent invaders on the opposite side
of the canyon.
"Hah! wouldn't wait until man
could get into his clothesi" he rasped,
apostraphizing the Utah's new chief
of construction. "Jastrow! Faveh me
instantly, sch! Hustle up to the camp

A LAMP OF SCIENCE.
Important Use Discovered for the
Mercury Vapor Lamp.

An important use has been found
for the Cooper Hewitt mercury vapor
lamp in scientific investigation. In
optical experiments in the laboratory
it is often important to have at com
mand a monochromatic light. For
merly the mercury arc light was en-
ployed for this purpose, but after be-
ing used for short time, the eff
cheney of this source of light seriously
falls off. 1t has been found however,
says Youths Companion, that the
Cooper Hewitt lamp gives the same
monochromatic light, with very fine
rays, so that it is admirably suited
for the study of interference phe-
nomena, and it possesses the great
advantage of being steady and trust
worthy in it's output. Moreover, be-
ing a commercial apparatus, it is

provement Of household Inventions,
but this does not Seem to be the case.
Inventors still are on the lookout for
some device that will prove a house
hold necessity, as they realize it will
command ready market.
AS an example, an Iowa man has
patented a knife for cutting potatoes
that does eight times the work of the
ordinary knife. Instead of requiring
eight cuts to divide the potato into
pieces it is all done at one operation.
The illustration plainly shows the
construction of the knife, no descrip-
ton being necessary. Six small blades
and one center blade, attached to
handle, are all that is required. One
stab at potato divides it into eight
pieces. In hotels, restaurants, etc.,
where thousands of potatoes are cut
up each day, this knife would save
considerable labor and time.

seh!"
The secretary appeared and digap-
peared like a marionette when the
string has been jerked by a vigorous
hand, and Virginia smiled-this with
out prejudice to very acute appro-
citation of the grave possibilities which
were preparing themselves. But hav-
ing her share of the militant quality
which made her uncle what he is, she
stood her ground.
Aren't you afraid you will take cold,
Uncle Somerville?" she asked, archly:
and the Rajah came suddenly to 8
sense of his incompleteness and went
in to finish his ablutions against the
opening of the battle actual
At first Virginia thought she would
follow him. When Mercury Jastrow
should return with the officer of tho
law there would be trouble of some
sort, and the woman in her shrank
from the Witnessing of it. But at the
same instant the blood of the fighting
Carterets asserted itself and she re-
solved to stay.
81 wonder what uncle hopes to bo
able to do?" she mused. will a littls
town constable with a bit of signed
paper from some justice of the peace
be mighty enough to stop all that fu-
rious activity over there? It's moro
than incredible"
From that she fell to watching the
activity and the orderly purpose of 1t.
A length of steel, with men clustering
like bees upon it, would slide from its
place on the hand-car to fall with
frosty clang on the cross ties. In
stantly the hammermen would pouncs
upon it. One would fall upon hands
and knees to sight" 1t into place: two
others would slide the squeaking track
gauge along it's inner edge; quar-
tette, working like the component
parts of faultless mechanism, would
tap the fixing spikes into the wood:
and then at a signal dozen of the
heavy pointed hammers swung aloft
and a rhythmic volley of resoundina
blows clamped the rail into perma.
nence on it's wooden bed.
