Submarines at Sea.

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

COLLECT ADMISSION"
TO UNITED STATES.

New York, Oct. 17.-New York po-
lice are on the lookout for the conf
dence men who have been collecting
admission fees" to America. A num-
Der of foreigners have been accosted
by these swindlers and told that I'M
less they paid admission fees to this
country they would be deported. The
sums asked for were based on shrewd
estimates of what the new arrival
could stand for. Two women and
man who landed in New York recently
from Germany gave $50 each for the
privilege of staying in New York.
This scheme is new one to the
police. Swindlers have in the past sold
Central park, the Singer building, the
city hall, and other properties TO trust
full foreigners, but this is the first time
the con" men have worked the "ad-
mission fee to America" plan.

himself highly adaptable, and he is
wise enough to realize that If his ad-
ministration is to be a success he
must harmonic himself with his en-

Two Clever Statesmen.

One crisis In Lord Palmerstons life
illustrates the absolute good humor
which may prevail even when political
enmity is at its worst. Lord Derby
had made an attack upon him in the
upper house with such energy and elo-
quence that the odds against him
seemed overwhelming. But he defend
ed himself and his policy from the
dusk of one day TO the dawn Of an
other with such tact, deXterity and
force of appeal to the national sense of
honor that he was acquitted of all
blame by majority of fourscore.
Next day in passing through the cor
rider leading from an anteroom to the
upper house one swing door opened 10
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby. They
were opponents. but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled.

In a Japanese sIespina Car.

1t was at night we had our first ex-
perience in japanese sleeping car.
The track is narrow gauge, and the
standard sleeping cars have six seats
running lengthwise. each seating two
passengers. with a center aisle. The
upper berth is the regular Pullman
style, and a section will accommodate
two passengers. The night was during
the extreme heat of midsummer. the
car was crowded. and in addition to
the regular curtains each berth was
provided with a mosquito bar. which
added to the general discomfort. Pas
sengers were taken on and let down at
all stops, so there was constant pro-
cession through the aisle all night.
Part Of the car was reserved for local
accommodation. and those who sat up
smoked necessarily, SO that long before
morning the atmosphere became in
olerable.-Railway Age Gazette.

A Window Washers View.

one day to clean the windows of a
business concern on the nineteenth
floor of a skyscraper in lower Broad

to the window and fastened the two
straps dangling from his belt to hooks
at the side of the window frame. He
cast another surprised glance at the

slender straps, he muttered:

ROYAL GOVERNOR
FOR CANADA

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 17.--For the first
time in the history of the Dominion.
the vice-regal post is held by a men,
Der OF the royal family. The Duke
OF Connaught, who has just arrived
to succeed Earl Grey as governor gen
eral of Canada, is brother of the
late King Edward, and therefore an
uncle of King George.
The appointment of the duke came
at a time when reciprocity and posi-
Bile annexation of the Dominion to the
United States were grave issues in
Canada and in the mother country
The people have since decided against
reciprocity and the ghost OF annexa-
ton is laid aside for many years to
come, and the great popularity Of the
duke is expected to cement the ties
that bind Canada to Great Britain.
The duke today faces great political
and economic problems arising from
llt ldtt lidl ,audud hdo OuN6ip"h 'hN
colonial stage and is now a nation In
itself and, so far as constitutional
governor may safely go, he is expected
to aid in solving those grave problems.
1t was King Edward who first
preached the appointment of his
younger brother as governor general
OF Canada. The solidarity of the Brit
ish empire was a prime consideration
with the late monarch, and the policy
has been forwarded by King George.
A soldier through and through, the
Duke of Connaught possesses in a
marked degree the tact and social
sense" which Edward so effectively
employed in international diplomacy.
His full name and title is Prince Ar
thur William Patrick Albert, Duke OF
'Connaught and of Strathearn and Earl
OF Sussex in the peerage of the United
Kingdom. Duke of Saxony, Prince of
axe-Coburg and Gotha. He is a high
ranking officer in half a dozen Euro
pean armies, and is field marshal In
