Crossing the Bar. Sunset and evening star And one clear call for me, And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea. But such tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from ont the

An Indian serenade.

An Indian serennde. I arise from dreams of thee
 In the first sweet sleep of night, When the winds are breathing low And the stars are shining bright arise from dreams of thee,
 And a spirit in my feet Hath led me-who knows how? To thy chamber window, Sweeti The wandering airs they faint In the dark, the silent stream And the Champak's odors pine Like sweet thoughts in dreami The nightingale's complaint
 It dies upon her heart, As I must die on thine,
 O, beloved as thou art! o, lift me from the grass!
 die I faint I fail Let thy love in kisses rain
 On my lips and eyelids pale. My cheek is cold and white, alasl My heart beats loud and fast; O, press it to thine own again, Where 1t will break at last Percy Bysshe Shelley.

QUEER CRAFT IN =
HISTORIC WATERS
HAMPTON ROADS
Submarine Cruiser Lake the Largest
Graft Of Its Kind Ever Built wiz
se One OF the Attractions at the
Jamestown Exposition.

Norfolk, Va, Feb, 15.-There Will
be many queer craft in the historic
waters OF Hampton Roads during the
coming summer and among them
will be one of recent invention which
will attract almost as much atten'
ton from .he scientific world as
the ships of the air which are t.
have a prominent place in the at
fractions of the jamestown Exposi
tion. This odd vessel Of the sea Is
n submarine cruiser and as many eS'
position visitors may wish to visit
the bottom of the Roads in one OF
these vessels. a description of the
first trip made by boat of this
kind may be Interesting.
This unique performance was
made possible by an invitation from
Captain George NJ. Evans, skipper OF
the submarine cruiser Lake, the
largest craft of the kind ever built,
To take a cruise in the boat on It's
first submerged run.
The run took place between the
hours Of ten and twelve and was
successful but exciting. Submerged
to a depth OF about IS feet, the
Lake cruised along the bottom for
about one mile at the rate of six
miles an hour. The boat answered
both the vertical and horizontal rud-
ders perfectly. Standing in the
coming tower with one eye glued 10
the omniscope, Captain Evans work
ed the wheel that sent the Lake up
and down, starboard and port, at
will. Only the limited depth Of the
water kept the Lake from going
deeper.
During the trial the temperature
in the boat averaged about 90 de.
grees. In spite of the fact that all
OF the matches were tightly battened
down to prevent the admission o.
water. the use Of the compressed
air tanks was unnecessary. Captain
Evans said that compressed air was
only used after the boat had been
down two or three hours. He said
that the Lake could stay down for
two weeks II she were properly pro
visioned. without causing any illness
among those inside.
The Lake left her dock at the
