submarine tube invented by the cam
era mans father.
1t is a remarkable invention, which
makes 1t possible for men to go 500
feet down under water without diving
suits or any special breathing ap-
paratus.
1t is just like going down into a
tunnel. The tube is flexible and can
be extended at will. 1t is simple in
construction and is strong enough to
withstand tremendous water pres
sure.
At the bottom of the tube there
is a chamber large enough for three
men to live and work in for hours
at time. The front of it is cleverly
fitted with a large window through
which all observations are made and
the actual photographs taken.
To offset the darkness which grows
as the depth of the water increases
Williamson has cleverly brought cleo
tricity to his aid
BY lowering group of electric
lights, properly safesuarded against
pressure, into the water, he can take
pictures at any depth, day or night.
He has found that such artificial
light, far from disturbing the fishes
and their friends. attracts them to-
ward the camera.
There is no end to the possibilities
of this new invention!
Young Williamson has been expert
menting at Hampton Roads. He has
been so successful that he will con-
tinue farther afield and on a larger
scale. His next wor4 V ill be cruising
| the West Indies with a movie
camera and his Williamson tube. He
hopes to get pictures of the "sunken
cities of Yucatan" ard many other
| wonders.

WILRESBARRE. Pa. July 16.-

heard argument on the writ OF

held in the county jail without bail
in connection with the death Of the
girl. Johns has expressed himself as
confident that he will be released.
Johns, who was the acknowledged
lover of Miss Crispell was the last
person seen with her on the night
of the Fourth of July, the last night
the girl was seen alive. Three days
later the girls bodJ. =as found float

Johns was taken into custody to ex-
plain what he knew about the girls
death. He disclaimed all knowledge
of how the girl lost her life, and
coroner's jury, after hearing evidence
for several hours last Thursday
night, rendered verdict that Johns
had no connection with Miss Girls

however, Johns was given a hearing
before a justice of the peace, who,
after listening to the evidence pre-

that it didn't give me any love for
farming, but we had an old volume

everything that | could get hold of,
which wasn't much. only it wasn't
quite the literature that is put into
the hands of children nowadays. As
a child it is remembered that she
used to tell continued stories to the
|neighborhood children that would last
for weeks and that were created en-
ltirely from her own imagination.
Amanda's ambition in life for years
was to become a designer and en-

1t was the vice presidents and the

Chamberlin, for breakfast 1t was
observed by those who saw the vice

one of them was accustomed to walk
very close to the curb and the other
more than arms length away.
Somebody spoke to General Arthur
about this and he said laughingly:
"Conkling has one peculiar idiosyn-
crazy He acknowledges it and says
that he can't explain 1t. He hates to
have any one brush up against him
or to touch him. No one could walk
with him side by side with elbows
touching, for Conkling would not per-
init it. He would certainly edge
away. That is as true of an intimate

Mr.. Dana smiled and said. THAT

he was secretary of war
As Mr.. Dana was assistant secre-

tain that the incident he was about

stanton was so tremendously abb
sorbed in his responsibilities as secre-

himself to see the humorous side
of life. | don't know that I ever saw
him smile more than once or twice.
But it used to tickle him immensely
to see the secretary OF the navy,

who was, you know. general-in-ch

to 1864, when they We're in conference.
"Halleck was an admirable soldier

thing about Halleck that went
