Submarines at Sea,

Equilibrium is almost as difficult to
maintain for submarine vessel as for
an aeroplane. With modern large sub
marines the act Of diving is performed
when the vessels have heaCTay. The
bow is depressed by horizontal rud-
ders, and the vessel moves obhquely
downward. The desired depth having
been attained. the steersmsn must so
manage the horizontal rudders that
the vessel shall practically maintain
its level; but, in fact, It's course be-
comes really an undulatinG one.
There must be no movement Of men OF
weights in the vessel without inmeol-
ate compensation to restore and main
tain the balance, else the submarine
may dive to disastrous depth. Man
ual control has been found better than
automatic control.

Eiszt Fooled Them.

Wrapped in bis dressing gown and
With feet incased in slippers, Franz
Liszt was sitting comfortably enc
evening in his armchair ready for
work and inviting inspiration. On the
aoor above, IN the apartments of a
banker, noisy musical soiree was in
progress. Polonaises had succeeded
waltzes, and nocturnes had followed
polonaises. when suddenly the door OF
the salon opened, and List entered,
still wrapped in his dressing gown.
The astonishment Of the company may
be imagined. With slow steps List
walked toward the piano, and the
young key FOUNDER who was sitting
at it quickly left his place. List sat
down at the instrument, carelessly
swept his fingers over the keys as If
to prelude, and then suddenly be shut
down the cover and put the key in
his pocket. And Immediately, With
the same tranquil air with which be
had entered, he went out and returned
to his room, where be could work at
his ease

Force OF LIGHT.

Light has an actual mechanical
pressure and can be measured in the
laboratory. 1t has been found that
the suns light in itself presses
against the earth with force some
thing like 10000 tons. AS the surface
Of a sphere varies as the square Of
the radius, ard as the volume or mass
varies as the cube Of the radius. and
as the mechanical pressure of light on
the whole surface varies as that sur
face. and rs the force Of gravity varies
IS the mass, if a sphere IS made
smaller and smaller it is easily seen
that the pressure Of light does not de-
crease so fast as the force of gravity,
so bodies beyond certain minuteness
could not reach the sun. but would be
rape;led by the mechanical force Of its

peform.d Chickens.

Tarrytown. y. J., is Matching an un-
usual crop Of deformed chickens this
spring and an expert asserts the cause
has just been discovered. 1t IS the
heavy blasting across the river, says
the learned poultry man.
The discovery was made by irving
W. Coates. Coates had fifty-two
choice eggs in his incubator and only
five chickens Matched These were pc
culiarly deformed and Coates va.
puzzled. While the blasting was go
ing on across the river, and as each
report reached this side he noticed
the chicks putting their legs against
their ears The blasts sounded like
cannon in the distance, and the chick
ems kept holding their legs against
their ears until the blasting was over.
Coates believes that while they were
in the shell they heard the noise and
the constant raising Of their legs to
protect their eardrums was the cause
Of their deformity.
In all, the poultry raisers say, they
have lost 500 eggs.
