clubs, literary meetings and musical
evenings, they do not scorn the homely
tasks that in former years occupied
so much of every woman's time. II
they are left without d cook there is
no weeping OR wailing. On the con
trary, Bowling Green is the home OF
the emergency woman, the woman
who can cope with any situation sue
cessfully. and who believes that all
kinds of home work are dignified and
worthy of their best endeavor.
Mrs. Clark is noted for her original
ideas, and those Of rearing children may
be placed apart as unique. She believes
in teaching a child self-reliance and self
control and instilling a sense of RESPONSE
bility from the earliest years. Miss
Gcnevieve and her brother Bennett, have
had absolute control Of their affairs since
they were mere babies They have
studied their lessons unbidden, and. after
learning what their parents desired they
have kept to the law. This sounds al
most too good to he true, but all those
who are familiar with the Clark family
will bear out the testimony of their
Bowling Green friends and Washington
acquaintances. Each member or the
family has separate circle of friends,
the others. Miss Genevieve buys her
own clothes sometimes after consulting
with her mother, but usually entirely on
her own responsibility. she conducts hei
affairs at school unaided, and plans hel
holidays, only asking sanction of hel
plans, and that is readily given.
Since Mr.. Clark became such promi-
nent political figure the question of Miss
GenevieVe's future has been earnestly
discussed. Those maidens who are tt
make their bow next winter would like
her company. But according to MIS-
Clark there can be no question of hel

nature for penetrating submarine cables.
and fragments of their teeth have actual
ly been extracted from the injured por-
lions. Sometimes the iron wires protect
ing cables have been found fOrcibly
crushed as between powerful jaws, as

rubber with which the copper wire was
coated.
Cases are known of a whale becoming
entangled in a submarine cable. and
meeting it's death In this way through
suffOcation. notable instance occurred
in the Persian gulf some years ago. The
cable was, it is said, lying slack, and the
repairing ship hauled up the dead body
of the animal. member of the en-
gineer force of telegraph ship reported
not long ago, that in repairing British
post office cable i'm the North sea he
pulled up the wreck of a small schooner
which had sunk upon the cable. Fish
ing boats and other vessels sometimes
work unintentional damage to submarine
telegraphs by cutting cables with their
anchors, and in such cases it is re-
marked that the depredators say nothing
of the occurrence. A telegraph engineer
was once on board vessel which cut
a cable with her anchor. The ingenious
expert Immediately set about improvising
battery, and telegraphed the exact po-
sition of the accident to the telegraph
company in it's office in the city, thus
