There was much laughter and merri-

Thirty Leagues Under the Sea-
Presented Yesterday.
II the highway Of life has led you to
any of the many garden spots on this
good old earth OF ours where one may
view old Neptune's kingdom and its nu-
merous inhabitants in comfort from
glass-bottom boats. you will have some
idea OF the motion picture labeled ''Thir-
ty Leagues Under the Sea-" presented
at the Columbia Theater yesterday after
noon and running all this week
At the lovely island Of Santa Catalina,
of the California coast, at charming
Bermuda, delightful Honolulu, and many
another beauty spot on old oceans rim,
one views the wonders Of the subauueous
world in this manner, while native boys
dive overheard for pennies or secure COW
eted shells or bits of fora, or fauna,
from the bottom Of the sea, and divers
go down in the depths and show you,
as you peer through the glass bottom of
the boat. just how they look and work
down there.
But everyone cannot visit these WON
derous marine gardens, and so by the
use OF a remarkable submarine tube
invented by Capt. Charles Williamson,
OF Norfolk, Va, and a submarine photo
graphic chamber invented by ]. Ernest
Williamson and George NJ. Williamson.
marvelously clear pictures were secured
OF these sights deep down in the sea of
Nassau, Bermuda, in order that we might
all enjoy the wonders OF the deep.
Forests Of sponges, coral beds, and
many beautiful sea growths swaying in
the current, as leaves bend before the
breeze, and a great number and variety
OF Neptune's filmed subjects swimming
about in their fairy home seeming not to
notice the intrusion of man, bent upon
taking their photographs. Mr.. George
Williamson explores the wreck Of an old
blockade runner OF the civil war. and
then. as a thrilling climax, Mr.. Ernest
Williamson attacks a fourteen-foot man.

one OF the most exciting life-and-death
combats ever witnessed anywhere before
Mr.. Shark is finally bested.
These views, and some others. are made
even more interesting by the lecturers

gorgeous tropical colors in which the
numerous life Of the sea appears. The
reception accorded the pictures indicated
that Thirty Leagtes Under the Sea is
a welcome novelty, combining education
with entertainment, two Els that are
not often seen in one another's company.

DAILY SHORT STORY.
THREE PEGGIES.
By CONSTANCE MORTON.

Charlie Raycroft came down the steps
OF the clubhouse and unroIled his um.
brella.
A light April shower was slanting down
caught by the capricious April weather.
by jOve, there's Peggy!" he exclaimed
as a blue umbrella bobbed past him.
I'D know that umbrella anywhere by
the white spot on 1t where dropped the
acid that day. Well, little sister, IN
catch up with you and We'll have lunch
together"
But little sister, managed to keep half
a block ahead of her big brother.
Peggy Raycroft, IL ever I catch up
with you, I'll bring you down to a sane
walk" he painted as he hastened in her
wake. I'll have to call a taxi II I don I
gain on her
The blue umbrella paused before a shop
window and enabled Charlie to come
within ten feet Of her. Then with a
swing, away it went on down the avenue
bobbing out Of reach.
Around the corner into the compara-
tive quiet of Thirty-first street went the
blue umbrella, and the little high-heeled
shoes clicked under il with eXasperating
monotony.
How in thunder do they walk in those
shoes?' groaned the breathless young
man. The women can do stunts that a
mere man wouldn't even attempt"
At last, in the shadow of a tall build
ing, the blue umbrella stopped suddenly.
Charlie leaped forward and clutched one
of the points thereof
"Peggy-Peggy!" he Easped.
How dare you?" rasped a shrill voice,
and the blue umbrella was lifted to show
the grim-ja -jawed countenaace Of a mos.
unprepossesing female Of uncertain
years.
Il beg your pardon cried Charlie in
conius-on.
But the lady was obdurate. With a
crook of her finger she had summoned
a blue-coated officer and requested that
Charlie be arrested.
He has followed me for blocks" she
with me-"
The officer looked from Raycroft's
fresh. good-Iooking countenance to the
haggard one OF the offended lady. He
cast a sympathetic look at Charlie.
Charlie tried to explain.
81 thought it was my sisters umbrel-
Ia" he said with what composure he
could muster in the face of the en-
barrassing situation. And I followed
it-the lady can testify that 1 addressed
her as Peggy. That is my sisters
name"
1T happens to be my own name"
said the lady frostily. Officer. do your
duty
You wanter enter a complaint against

from the streets. A respectable woman
