A SUCCESS.
The Irshman Who Improved Upon
Jules Verne.

Let him who thinks the dreamers
have little influence on the world con
slider the life of John P. Holland, who
died at Newark, N. j., recently at the
age of u. Born in Ireland, Mr.. H
land was a schoolmaster in this coun-
try when the Monitor and the Merri-
mas fought their epochal battle. This
historic event and the reading of Jules
Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea led him to Investigate
the possibility of submarine naviga-
ton. After five years of experiments
he evolved plans for a boat which he
fet sure would solve the problem.
Two boats were actually constructed
to be used by the Irish ~revolutionist
against Great Britain, but they came
to nothing. But he chung to his idea
and in 1875, after Is years of study
and experiment, he submitted his plans
to the United States Navy Department.
The naval engineers reported them
practical, but doubted if any one
would risk his life in such a>craft. So
the department refused to go further.
Undismayed by the decision, Mr..
Holland retired to his shop and for
IL cal NIL COAAJ141ACu u hl1S dS
his plan and perfecting it, until in
1893 Congress made an appropriation
OF $G0o, 900 and the fRst real Holland
submarine was constructed. Because
Of criticism and interference by the
naval engineers, Mr.. Holland withdrew
lis plans and built a boat himself. 1t
was so successful that the United
purchased it outright directly
the Spanish war.
jules Verne's remarkable dream has
come true and the nations today are
fighting under the water as we'll as
it and in the air above it. The
dreamers always come first and then
come the practical men who put the
foundations under the dreams. After
the submarine, the airship and the
wireless, it would seem that little is
left in the realm of the marvellous, but
it is likely that we are still on the sur
face and that there are depths to be
plumbed of which we have as yet little
conception.

THE DUMDUM BULLEL.
charlotte Observer

The Observer has been asked for
light on the subject of the dumdum
bullet, the inquiries coming from
people who probably forget how easy
a thing it is to run to a dictionary.
But in addition to what Webster tells
about it, there remains. to be said
that the composition of the dumdum
bullet which gives it it's terror is a
soft nose of lead which spreads on
coming in contact with bone or
Gle and makes a tearing wound, par
ticularly at the point of exit. The bull
let in general use has a steel or
copper jacket, the purpose of this be-
ing to minimize the shock by produc-
ing a small and clean-cut wound. The
German bullet, it is said, carries a
nickel jacket. 1t is probable that
some soldiers know how to improvise
a dumdum bullet and if m have been
used in the present war they are OF
the improvised sort. The regulation
dumdum is turned out only in India
and this paper thinks would find no.
purchase by either the allied or Ger
man armies.

WASTE NEWSPAPERS.

What becomes of the thousands
Upon thousands of newspapers that
are discarded by readers on street
cars, railroads and in the homes?
The question must naturally obtrude
itself or, the minds of many in the
hurrying throngs to and from bust
ness who note the disorderly litter
that collects at terminal stations.
Waste newspapers are used almost
exclusively in the manufacture of the
cardboard or pasteboard which goes
to form the paperboard box in which
dressnakers, shoemakers and depart
ment stores generally, deliver dresses,
suits, shoes, etc. and one of the larg-
est factories iu the United States for
the manufacture of this kind of card
board is located just outside of Phila-
delphia on the Schuylllill River at
Msnayunk.
Long trains of freight cars may be
seen at Manayunk any day, loaded
with bales of waste newspapers, the
collection of many cities. which have
been assembled here for conversions
into the clean sheets of cardboard
that will be used later for fashioning
a box fit to hold my lady's gown of
daintiest chiffon or tulle.
The preliminary operation OF I'M
packing the bales of material which
have been put together by waste
paper dealers is not an agreeable
opera ton to witness. As the mixed
newspaper refuse is sold by weight,
waste paper dealers are not over
careful in the sorting of the mater al,
and tin cans and other heavy mate
rails may be surreptitiously intro
duced at some stage of the process of
packing the small bundles which are
turned in by individual collectors of
the material.
If one can stard the choking dust
that arises as bales are opened and
sorted by the busy workers in the
paperboard factory, and he watches
the operation of unuacking, he viii
note the truly miscellaneous character
of the contents of these newspapers
Of morning and afternoon editions
with all their embellishments Of

MOTEIERING THE BELGIANS

At polite gatherings in Chicago the
chief topic of conversation is the
Belgian babies. Woman asks of
woman:
Shall you take a Belgian baby?"
The answer, with quite beautiful
frequency, is: 4
81 think I shall. | have a friend
who is taking two. believe I would
be better able to stand the war If
did that much to help the people who
suffer most from it. Anyway, a lit
tie Belgian ought to make fine
son. Don't you think SOP" q.
Undoubtedly, in the last remark
lies the secret of much Of the enthu-
siasm for the adopting war orphans
of Belgium which is now spreading
over the Middle West. 1t is not alone
that a motherly woman feels a pro :
found compassion for these bereaved
children of a devoted people, but also
that she thrills at the thought OF
rearing a young hero. Her own son,
reared as the privileged citizen of an
aforementioned city, and "given
advantages" till he is actually stulti-
fed by them, may be but tepid,
though dear, possession.
But the little Belgians, tragic and
piteous from their desolated land
marked with red memories of war,
ought to make fine men and women
Some are too young to understand
the drama of which they have been
so touching a part. it is true; but IL
is to be remembered THAT great
events and passions leave their i'm
