Ina Feats In Qluck Diving.


Newport, R. l., May 11.-All Ameri'
can records for quick diving BY a.
submarine boat were broken Friday

through a series Of extraordinary
tests in Coddington cove. A mast sea
with thick fog that cleared at times.

would be able to get submerged quick
ly if an enemy should be sighted.
Running at full speed on the surface
propelled by gasoline engines, the Oc-
topus received signal from mem
beers Of the trial board on board the
tender Nina. Immediately the en-
gines were stopped and power was
furnished by storage batteries. DIV
ing rudders were adjusted, the subma-
rine took 81 tons Of water into her
tanks and sank to depth OF 20 feet.
This was accomplished in four and a
half minutes. A second test reduced
the time about half a minute.
The next was to gather information
as to the ability Of the boat to make
q complete turn within given area.
A test was also made to determine
the ability Of the Octopus to come to
full stop while running at. full speed
underwater.
When coming to the surface from
one of her dives the Octopus sighted
in the lifting fog tug and tow OF
barges. The submarine Immediately
dived and escaped the danger OF
collision. At another time when the
Octopus was running awash at
speed Of ten knots she Owed and was
completely submerged In % seconds

''The Sweet Old Days in Dixie. y

The Oxford Public Ledger OF last
week had the following reference to
Mr.. Colin McNair's little book entitled
as above:
We are iudebtedto our good old friend,
Mr.. Colin McNair of Henderson. for n
copy of his new book just from. the press
entitled 1.-The Sweet Old Days in Dixie. y
The book, as it's name implies, deals with
the old days in the South before the civil
war, and is written by an old veteran
who knows of those days and writes
from personal experience. The descrip-
ton OF plantation life, and especially the
story of the old slave in African dialect
are interesting. There are many amusing
scenes which recall to our older people
the charming scenes of life which is
row no more The book can but be OF
interest to those interested in ante-bel-
lum Southern life.
We wish for Mr. McNair much success
in the sale OF his book.

The Holy CITY"

There is a solemnity and impressiveness
about religious play that appeals to
the theatre goers who become wearied
with the never ending problem and So
ciety plays, and frivolous musical COM
edy.
Plays which carry the audience back
to the time when the Christian era be-
gaa, aud treat OF the people of that age
who have made biblical history, COM
mand serious attention, and when the
theme is handled with due regard for
the sacred subject, it overcomes many Of
the objections which have been raised to
picturing upon the stage incidents which
are OF holy nature.
The Holy City" which will be pro-
duced at the Grand Theatre, October 10,
is one OF the most impressive Of ell the
religious plays. There has been no at
tempt made to afford any relief from the
serious nature OF this play, by adding a
touch OF comedy, as has been done in
some OF the other dramas dealing with
religious subjects
There ia not a laugh in this drama
from beginning to end, and this is as it
should be.
The story of the coming of Christ, his
cruciixion and resurrection is told in
lit uOiy Clty. ue SaVlOr, however
is not represented in the presence, but
only suggested.
There are, however, characters in the
play that give it the life and color OF the
time in which the scenes are depicted,
among them being John the Baptist, the
Apostles, Peter and Andrew, Judas Is
CARROT, King Herod, Herodias, Salome,
Mary Magdalene, Caiaphas and Pontius
Plate.
Such q drama as The Holy City"
could not be given an effective produc-
ton without the investment OF almost a
small fortune in the accessories, costumes
and scenic equipment. and the play is
said to be most sumptuously mounted,
and presented with a due regard for de-
tail necessary to give the illusion and
