READY TO RAISE SUBMARINE.
Two coroses Can Be Seen in the III
Fated Lutin.

Bizerta, Tunis, Oct. 22-The divers
working on the French submarine boat
Lutin, which went down off this port
Oct. 16 with fourteen men and two
officers ON board, succeeded in digging
tunnel under her stern through which
a hawser was passed These opera
tions were conducted under the per-
sonal supervision of NJ Thomson, the
French minister of marine. A heavy
chain has been placed in position un-
der the submarines bows, and the
preparations for lifting her are now
complete.
All efforts to remove the bodies from
the Lutin have proved vain, Through
the window of the hatch divers have
perceived two corpses with arms in
terlocked. The position of these bod
les is such as to make it impossible
to open the manhole, and therefore in
gress to the submarine cannot be had.
The bodies cannot be identified.
The weights of the submarine, with
the exception of those on the starboard
bow, are in position. The starboard
weight has been broken off and with
its fastenings lies on the bottom.

Havana, Oct. Ex-Governor Magoon

and sixty persons of both sexes are
crowded into filthy 'and dilapidated
buildings with a capacity of 400 per-
sons only. They are sleeping on brok-
en- cots, relics of the last American

the money was never expended. The
conditions are very little better than
under Spanish control. Governor Ma
goon will take steps to erect additional
buildings and remedy the abuses.

Child Marriages in India.

More than 250,000 girls IN India, 8
years Of age OF less, were already mar
ried when the last census was taken,
and Of these necessarily many have
become widows. Between 5 and 10
years the number Of married girls was
well over 2,0oo,0 900, between 10 and Is
years it had risen to nearly 100000.
OF course, to the girls In the first two
categories marriage meant nothing
more than contract entered into for
them by othsrs, long before they them
selves were capable of understanding
1t; many Of them had been bound by
engagements when they were still chill
dren in arms; some had even been be-
trothed before they were born.
Most Of the widows Of such tender
years become so before they know what
widowhood means. It is only as they
grow out OF infancy that they learn the
sad life to which they are condemned,
a life OF misery which is inconceiYable
to people Of western countries, yet is
enforced by Hindoo customs. It is
life of hardship, Of unmerited shame, OF
irksome penances and Of wearisome at
tendance at religious functions.
Though the English law In India
would recognize the legality Of a re-
marriage Of these youthful widows, in-
exorable custom forbids it and its oc-
currence is rare. There were in India
In 1901 nearly 426,000 widows under Is
years Of age, Of which nearly 10000
we're less than years old.
