that q demure and pretty girl In q
north suburb should feel resentful
when she had to answer to the name
Of Busybody. given in honor Of the
winner Of race fifteen years before.
Among the names registered at Som.
erset House are Airs and Graces and
Nun Nicer, which were innocently
borne by two little girls who found
them most embarrassing in after years.
The appalling name of Wellington
Wolseley Roberts was borne by a
young man who. in disposition and ap-
pearance. was anything but militant.

the battlefield as his predecessors Ar

Found q Place.

The billposter had one poster left
and no conspicuous place to put IT.
He stood on the corner and wondered
what he should do with 1t. Presently
an Italian woman carrying q big load
Of wood on her head passed by.
Better than a Broadway electric
tower for my business" said he.
Paste brush and paste were requisi-
toned, the poster was clapped on the
perambulating wood pile. and for fif-
teen minutes the ever curious Broad
way crowd stopped. turned and even
followed to learn something about the
commodity that was advertised in that
novel manner.-New York Sun.

was the first submarine war
vessel of the United States 1t was tried out
in l776 in New York Harbor. Its inventor
and builder was David Bushnell of Connec-
ticut, of whom little is known. The man
who went under water with it and in New
York Bay tried to blow up the British frig-
ate Asia, under General WashingtOn's or
ders, was Colonel Ezra Lee.
The Turtle was built al SaybrOok. Con-
neCtiCut. After its viciSSitudes of being cap
tured, sunk. and resting for years at the
bottom of the East River. it was raised and
taken back to its birthplace. There, after
more years. it was taken to pieces. Its metal
went into grandfather's clocks which are
still ticking IN the Railways of New York
and New England homes. Its Oaken, pitch
smeared timbers were put to structural uses
and all trace OF them lost. Bushnell did not
get even d tardy reward for his inventive
ness. The Council of Safety of Connecticut,
in l777, directed that he be paid two hun
dred pounds for his services in annoying
ships -; but there is no record that he ever
got the money.
What the Turtle Did
HERE is the story of the American Turtles
first exploit, as it is told in the quaint
phraseOlOgy of the yellOwing manuscript
where 1t was set down long ago:
When the British fleet lay IN the North
River, opposite to the city of New York. and
while General Washington had possession of
the city, he was very anxious to be rid of
such neighbors. Mr. David Bushnell of Say
brook invented a submarine curiosity called
the American Turtle which received Gen
eral Washlngton's approval for that purpose.
a brother ot the inventor was 10 operate the
machine; but on trial he declined TO hazard
hiS service. Colonel Lee. distinguished for
his courage and patriotism, volunteered his
services, and, after practising with the ma
chine TO discover its powers, a night was
fixed upon for the attempt
General Washington and his associates
IN the secret took their stations upon the
root OF house on Broadway, anxiOuSly
awaiting the result Morning came; but no
intelligence of the bold navigator. While
the anxious spectators were about TO give
him up as lost, several barges were seen 10
start suddenly from Governors Island, then
IN possession of the British and move to-
ward some object near the ASIA, ship of the
line; and as suddenly they were seen TO put
about and steer for the island with Springing
oars. In two or three minutes an explosion
took place from the surface of the water. re-
Sembling q waterspOut, which aroused the
whole city. The cnemy'S ships took the
alarm, cut their cables. and proceeded 10 the
Hook with all possible despatch. sweeping
their bottoms with chains and with difficulty
preventing their affrighted crews from leap

Colonel Lee. coming TO the surface dur
ing this scene of CONSERVATION. was obliged
again 70 descend to avoid the enemy's shot
from the island. After forcing his machine
against strong current under water. he
