Eye Of a Submarine.

The great fault of the early subma- rfnes was that they could not see once they were below the surface of the water The invention of the periscope altered all that and gave the modern submarine a marvellous eye by means of which it could see over the surface of the ocean, though the body of the submarine is completely below the waves. The eye of the submarine is a straight, hollow tube starting from the Steering chamber of the vessel and pro- jecting above the surface of the waves when the boat is submerged. As the periscope is only a matter of six inches in diameter and only projects some eighteen inches above the waves, it is B most difficult thing to see by an en- emy. Its total length is about fifteen feet. The submarines eye is really a combination of telescope and camera obscura- At the top is 8 powerful lens, and inside at intervals all the way down is series of mirrors which carry the reflection of what is above the sur face to the watcher in the submarine fifteen feet below.-Pearson's Weekly.
 When Boys Were Taught to Smoke.
 The habit of juvenile smoking fn England in the seventeenth century was practically universal. Jorevin de Rochefort, French traveller of that period, in an account published in 1871 gives 8 description of an evening he spent at Worcester. He was cate chized by one of the townsmen as to the habits of the French people.
 .sWhile we were walking about the town," he writes, .ehe asked me if 1t was the custom in France, as In Eng land. that when the children went to school they carried in their satchels with their books a pipe of tobacco which their mother took care to dlI ea1ly in the morning. it serving them instead of breakfast and that at the accustomed hour every one laid aside his book to light his pipe. the master smoking with them and teaching them how to hold their pipes and draw in their tobacco, thus accustom1ng them to it from their youth, believing it ab- solutely necessary for mans health. 7 --St. James Gazette

EFFECT ON BUSINESS
Country Stripped Of Male Popula-
lation-Exodus Of Reservists -
Prices Fixed by Government.

Vienna, July 29.-Austria is being
stripped Of its male population for
the war with Servia.
Shops are closed and business all
but paralzed because of the exodus
of all reservists to the front.
Patriotic demonstrations have been
in progress almost constantly for
days, but the government was forced
to interfere when food riots broke
out.
All foodstuffs advanced to pro-
hibitive price. As a result, dealers
were attacked and mobbed by infuri-
ated citizens.
Having the telegraph, telephone,
and railway lines already under con-
troll, the government took charge of
the food for the nation today A
maximum price for all foodstuffs was
established with orders that any at
tempt by merchants to eXtort higher
prices, would be followed by arrest
and Imprisonment.
Emperor Franz Joseph is expected
back in the capital at any time. Fol-
lowing the issuance Of manifesto to
his people, the aged monarch ordered
that his court be moved at once from
Ischl. In his manifesto the Emperor,
after declaring that it had been his
wish that his declining years might
be devoted to preserving the peace
of his country, he pointed out the
acts of Servia which led to the
declaration Of war. He said:
In this solemn hour, I am fully
conscious of the whole significance
of my resolve, and my responsibility
before the Almighty. have exam
ined and weighed everything and
serenely conscious I have set out on
the path that duty points.
"I trust in Austro-Hungary's brave
and devoted forces and in the AL

+; Purposes.
AUsTRIA's ACT OF WAR
Fourteen Russian Army Corps Men.
acing Germany-Strike Of 100000
Met. Called OFF. .4~y

London, July 29.-czar Nichoas
has personally communicated to the
Kaiser the position Of Russia IN the
Austrian-Servian conflict, informing
MIN that any invasion of Servia Will
lie Immediately followed by Russian
mobilization orders.
1t was learned from most authen-
tic source today that the Car had
sent telegram to this effect to the
German monarch.
St. Petersburg, July 29.-Word
from Servia that the Austrian army
has crossed the border or that Bel
grade has ibeen formally occupied will
be Immediately followed by an order
FOR the mobilization Of the Russian
army.
Despite the fact that it is thorough
ly understood here such action on the
part of Russia would mean the issu-
ance of mobilization orders in Berlin,
preparations for the army concentra-
lion went on without interruption to-
day. The Gar held repeated con-
rerences with the war and foreign
affairs ministers. What amounts to
partial mobilization is now in pro-
gress. Fourteen army corps are
moving and troops are being concen-
trated in the west and southwest from
the German frontier to the Black
Sea.
The foreign office has been in conf
munication with Berlin, Russia has
declared that her desire for peace but
that invasion of Servia will not be
countenanced. Germany has refused
to interfere with the movements of
Austria, and it is thoroughly realized
that what may follow rests largely
with the government of the Gear.
Gar Nicholas is highly pleased
with the support the throne has re-
ceived as result of the declaration
of war between Austria and Servia.
With the general strike, involving
nearly 100000 men, called off, patrio-
tic demonstrations occurred in the
capital and other cities. There were
street demonstrations during which
crowds MARCHED to the British and
French embassies nd>wildly cheereu

MIDNIGHT SLASH FATAL.
Three Italians Murder Baltimorean
Shortly After Midnight
Monday.

Baltimore, July 29.-Attacked by
three Italians whom he accosted for
information, William Mitchell, s5
years old, 1900 Elliott street, was
stabbed in the abdomen shortly af-
ter midnight Monday. He died at
8 o'clock yesterday morning at Mercy
Hospital.
Mitchell in a dying declaration TAX
on at the hospital by Round Sergeant
Hood, of the Central District, said he
approached the men at Pratt and
President streets about 1905 a. m.
snd asked them where he could get
a drink. A remark about treating"
passed and the next moment one f
the men drew knife from his pocket
and plunged it into Mitchell. The
assailant fled down President street
as Mitchell fell and the other two
ran out Pratt street. Mitchell's wound
was near the pit of the stomach.
Three men answering the descrip-
ton of Mitchell's assailant were ar
rested yesterday morning. They are
Joseph Brittle, % years old; Joseph
Purneski, 26 years old, and Louis
Carlaroz, 90 years old, all of 219
President street.
Brittle is believed to have been the
one who did the stabbing. He tallies
with Mitchell's incomplete description
of the man who cut him. Two strong
discriminating points against him par
ticularly are that he is the only one
of the trio who understands ant
speaks English and that long knife
with a four-inJch blade was found il
his coat pocket in his room.
The knife had recently been wash
ed. Brittle admitted that he wore tn
coat at the time Mitchell was at
tackled, but was unable to explain tn
use of such a large knife. He ais,
said he was "about the neighbor
hood" when the stabbing occurred.

MAY BAR NEGROES
FROM PRIMARIES
Attorney General Pollard's
Construction of Pure
Election Law.
CAUSE OF MUCH TALK
Law Recognizes Right Of Party 10
Prescribe Qualifications of voters
Restricted to Whites.

Richmond, July 29.-ln an OPINION
made public yesterday, Attorney
General Pollard holds that the action
of the Democratic party in adopting
a plan under which the electorate ID
primaries is limited to white Demo-
Gratis only, is valid under the provls-
ions of the new primary act. he
holds further that the General AS
,embIv in the act Of March %. 1914.
expresslv recognized the right OF
parties to prescribe qualifications to
vote in primaries other than the
qualifications set out in the general
law.
The ruling is regarded as of the
first Importance from its bearing
upon the recent Administrative
Board election. in which a considera-
BILE number of cclored voters were
permitted to participate. Local poll
ticians closely in touch with the sit
uation make the assertion that not
less than seventy-fve negroes voted
in the primary on July l6, for mem
bers of the board.
Criticism of the colored participa-
lion in the board primary was voiced
in many quarters upon election day
and on the days immediately ly follow
owing. The charge was made that
friends of certain of the candidates
made a consistent effort to convince
negro voters in all parts OF the city
that they had right to participate
IN the primary The fact that the
margin between the winners and los
ers in the election was so large that
the colored vote could not have been
a deciding factor prevented pro-
test which would have assumed the
proportions Of scandal.
Mr.. Pollard'S ruling is further sig
nifcant from the fact that it is the
first official statement Of the law as
applied to the right Of parties to
restrict the electorate to white vo-
ters. The point was given only
slight attention in the General As
sembly when the primary bill was
being carefully analyZed. 1t asserts
in positive language that parties
have the full eight under the new
law to bar negroes from participa-
ton in their primaries, and sets at
lest a vexed question.

MRS. BRaGER. SUES AGAIN. l1
Brings Action in City for Share Of
Her Fathers Estate.

Baltimore, July 29.-Ten of those
sued at Towson by Mrs. Blema Bra
ger, wife Of Robert A. Brager, for
what she claims 20 be her just
share of the estate of her father,
the late Joseph Fr;edenwald, were
also sued by her in the city yester-
day, objection to the jurisdiction OF
the county court as to the 10 defend
ants having been made, as they were
not residents of the county.
The declaration Is similar to that
in the Towson suit, and the claims in
each is for 100000 damages.
Mr.. Friedenwald, father of Mrs.
Brager, left II children and an es-
tate valued at S4,000,0O0. Had he
died intestate Mrs. Brager would
have been entitled to about $780,
600, it is asserted, but by will dated
December %, 1910, her father left
her only $4,000. Notice was given to
her brothers and sisters by Mrs. Bra
ger that unless she was allowed an
equal share Of the estate she would
contest the will. Thereupon, it is
alleged, the other heirs told her that
Mr.. Friedenwald had executed an
other will on April "a, 1908, which
disinherited her, and that if she sue
ceeded in having the latter will set
aside she would receive nothing from
the estate unless she succeeded in
having the will of 1909 set aside
also.
Relying upon what had been told
her. it is stated, Mrs. Brager con-
veyed her interest in the estate to
rhe other heirs for $4,000. 1t is
alleged, however, that the represen-
tations made to Mrs. Brager were
false because those making them did
not believe the will of 1903 to be
valid, but knew it had been obtained
by undue influence.
The will of 1910 having been
broken in a suit brought by Moses S.
Friedenwald, when other heirs cav
eated the will of 1908, Mrs. Brager
renewed her claim for an equal share
Of the estate and was given $4,000
more.
Mrs. Brager contends that the
oniy valid will executed by her
father was on August 3, 1875, by
which he conveyed all his estate t.
his wife, who died August 10. 1915,
and that she is entitled to share
equally with her brothers and sis
ters.

HARRISON ON THE STAND.
President of Southern Denies Rates
Are Legally Fixed.

Washington, July 29.-President
Fairfax Harrison of the Southern
Railway was cross-eXamined yester-
day by attorneys for independent
coal operators before the Senate COM
mittee investigating charges of dis
ordinations in coal rates in the
South.
Mr.. Harrison denied any knowledge
that the Appalachian fields were di-
vided between the Southern and
Louisville and Nashville. Ne declared
the Southern had paid Henry X. Nc
Harg S6,000,000 for the Virginia
and Southwestern in 1906, although
3. L. Dulaney, coal operator of
Bristol, had offered it in 1908 for ST.
100000 because circumstances were
altered and competitor was bidding
for the road in 1906. Questioning
brought out that McHarg is related
to George F. Baker, one of the South
ern's voting trustees.
Under further questioning Mr..
Harrison testified that Is per cent
of the Southern's stock is held
abroad; that 3 per cent, of its bonds
were held in the South, and that the
roads directors hold very little
stock. Mr.. Harrison said he had no
knowledge of property interests of dl-
rectors along the line.
Mr.. Harrison was asked if the
railroads of the South did not make
and unmake rates on coal and other
commodities at joint conferences.
"No railroad can make rates by
I itself in this day" said he. But
! there is no Illegal fixing of rates
l deny that inrputation.f
Mr.. Harrison added that after the
transit Missouri decision the lawyer:
+ advised that at these conference:
there should be no agreement on
rates, but there could be an lndIvh
ual announcement OF rates.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Harrison!
examinations the COMMITTEES
postponed further hearings until No
venber Is.
