 Such submarine was constructed and was shown to be practical to certain degree. In 1537 ship with twenty cannon, eighty sailors and many bags of money board blew up and sank in the port of Dieppe. Three years later Frenchman Jean Barrie called Pradne built according to the old monks ideas a submarine with which he promised to rescue the bags of gold and silver from the wreck and possibly pieces of artillery.
 The Government guaranteed Pradine the privilege of working the task for twelve years, authorized him to coect and appropriate the iron and other things that the lost ship contained and protected him while working with armed force.

them into the crime of manslaugh- ter; for war is only manslaughter on larger scale. It is not in the na- ture of the normal female human deliberately to plan the taking of human life. In the breast that has nursed mankind there lives no thirst for killing. When woman kills it is in defense of or in guarding some- thing she holds dear. In a word, she is frightened into ferocity.
 In the consciousness of the women of Servia and the Montenegrin women there is an obsession that by joining the army they will double the fighting force of the countries that are threatened with extinction Fright at thought of what may be- fall their country and themselves if undefended, or If inadequately de- tended, has driven them for the time insane. The female patriot of Ger many has visions in the stiffness of the night of her great, clean, calm, strong country being sponged out of existence, of being removed from the slate of Europe, sacrificed to num- bers, as was Poland. Those visions have maddened her to the point of fighting, killing, mutilating, while the red mist of rage is before her eyes. The French women are afraid. They fear the menace of the mailed fist which Wilhelm of Ger many once placed in a phrase, but which he has now raised to strike. Trembling before that mailed fist, the French women have inflated

A Servian Mother Saying Good Bye to Her Children
 Before Going to War.

France. Some of those Germans, who passed the forts at Liege only to die in the dust of the highway, were started on their terrestrial journey by bullet sped by a flaming eyed Belgian woman. Russian women, who played brilliant parts as spies, are now clamoring for place in the field, and those acquaint- ed with the subtleties of the fem mine Russian, which are without number, expect to see her figuring in the great engagements.
 Women are not natural combat ants. They do not rush into war for wars sake. They are without the blood lust that makes fighting joy for fighting's sake. They will fight only in desperate straits, and then only for their honor, their children, or the existence of their country. Standing at one of these last ditches, however, they fight with the ferocity of tigers. They do battle without rule or reason and to the death. An Englishwoman, who is endeavoring to organize company of women for military training, said that she did not fear that they would not fight, but the fear was that they might fight too fiercely. They are the most cruel of combatants, when they so far overcome their native woman ly gentleness as to enter into con- bat.
 A soldier of experience said that he would rather fight a company of male soldiers than one woman sol dier. He explained that woman is too resourceful in the matter of weapons. War transforms woman for the time into beast. Kipling pointed out that the female of the species is more deadly than the male, referring to her, without doubt, in her fighting phase. In moments of the widest excitation, induced by war, she has surpassed any of the atrocities ever committed in the name of war by men. There is for the horror of na- tions the incident of that campaign in the Netherlands by the-Spanish army, when the Dutch women cut out the hearts of captured Span- iards and flung them across the walls of the cities in the face of the approaching army.
 Women are instinctively afraid ot a mouse. They will flee from it, climb upon chair and scream. Yet there is record of the bravery of 1000 Boer Amazons who fought on the firing line and in the trenches at Spion Kop and Ladysmith.
 An eye witness tells of fourteen women who fought beside their hus- bands. Entrenched ill one position, they held it against British force with incredible bravery. Fifty of the British soldiers, with their bayonets fixed, charged the intrenchment The Boers crawled over the earthworks to meet them, and while the women covered them with their shooting, tried with the butts of their rifles to disable the British.

their souls with courage. Some of them, still sane enough, despite their terror, for sustained consecutive thought, have turned to the uses of war their unique talent. French women, the most skilled aviatrices of the world. are planning a cam paign of the upper air. They will be scouts and warriors of the skies. Will such an appalling disaster over take them as befell the German ayi- ator, who, flying above Liege, was attacked by Belgian aeronaut, who cut his aeroplane to pieces and sent his body hurling through space to the feet of group of the women of Liege? Ordinarily these women of Liege would have screamed and GOV cred their faces at the crumpled horror. But the dispatches say that these women laughed. that one of them spurned the broken body with her foot; that one, young girl and beautiful, fiancee of a Belgian off cer, ran to her home to bring a knife to mutilate the limp, helpless thing that five minutes before had been an enemy. It was the Belgian officer himself, according to the story, which io reasonable in the light of the unreason of women in war, who prevented her from carrying out her hideous plan. It illustrates the truth that though in the planning for ma,. man ara fnora crIIa1 in tha car rying out of war women exceed them in cruelty.

of their wives every one of the Boers was run through and pinned to the earth by a bayonet. Not one of the fourteen women widowed in that bloody engagement screamed or tainted. All fought as silent furies.
 A British survivor of the battle said it was like fighting with mute wild cat. It had taken five minutes to kill the men. The women fought for half an hour, no one of them crying quarter, and, when the Brit ish soldiers wiped their bleeding faces and tried to mend their hope lessly torn clothing, not one of the fourteen widows had survived her husband. Two days later. when the British retired across the Tugela, twenty-eight corpses, fourteen men and fourteen women, were found within a radius of one hundred feet, their bodies crimsoned, their faces set in the grim lines of battle, and the grimmest of the faces were those of the women.
 A Boer girl, seeing her twin sister shot down by an English officer. her. self snatched his sword and ran it through his body. The sight of the girl fury standing over his body, hacking it as though she were cut ting log of wood for kitchen fire, stopped the onslaught of the British force. The girl died, the sword gripped in her stiffening hand, heap ing curses on the English.
 These examples of ferocity in bat tie are not exceptional. They are characteristic of the woman at bay By nature compassionate, when she turns cruel, her cruelty has no limit. It is one of the paradoxes of human nature that the gentle sex becomes under one condition the cruellest. That state is the state of extreme war Not a political war. Not a war of diplomatic hair-split- ting or schoolmaster technicalities, but one that threatens the sanctity of her person, the lives of her chil- ufen, UT tlie eAiSleuCe Oi utI COuuliy.
 Digging through the stratum of undeniable fact that women arc the cruellest of soldiers when at the last ditch, have found the supporting stratum of reason to be that in war her nature is transformed. Tliat, too, is evident in the reports of every battle in which Amazons have en- gagged But why do the gentlest of human beings become the most sav-' age?
 In part because nature is an ex- tremist, sending the pendulum swing ing from gentleness to ferocity as from night to day, from Summer to Winter.
 But it is my deduction that they are the most ferocious of warriors because they are impelled by an in- sanity of fear. They fight frantically because they have lost their heads. Terror has driven them mad. It has made them utterly reckless of conse- quences. Fright has made them des- perate with an awful desperation.
 The spirit that leads women into war is the same as that which leads

of women. every fair soldier of them will be as mad as the maddest mili- tant. It will not require the sight of Mrs. General Drummond leading her army upon the Houses of Parliament to set loose the fighting devils that slumber in the breast of the gentlest woman. Fear of the enemy will re. lease imprisoned hatred. and hatred will run amuck into murder and pil- lage.
 The Russian? Scratch a Russian and you will reveal a savage. The Tartar blood rises to the highest flood in the women of the Russian Empire.
 All women are more elemental than men. Farther removed from the plane of logic, they are more prone to extremes Women are na- ture's radicals.
 I myself saw a husband and wife, both in the uniform of the Servian army, bid farewell to their eight children. They ordered the little ones to sal 'te, and when one. the littlest, instead wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, 1t was his mother who berated him for cowardice.
 It is fitting that war should be represented not by a mailed fist. nor by man In armor, but by a woman. a female fury maddened to her work by the deepest motive for crime whether the single crime of murder or tlp wholesale crime of war-the motive of fear.

the Eminent Swedish Psychologist. THE most significant indication
 of the final and catastrophe A nature of the present world war is that women are everywhere reported to be preparing to take part in it. Many of them have already done so
 This means that the nations in- volyed are struggling for their very existence. When such a crisis is reached, that half of the nation which is normally unmilitary but which has at least as great a stake in the country as the other half, is drawn in. This is "the last ditch' stage of warfare. Then the most terrible extremes of human savagery are reached. Woman in war is in- credibly cruel, for she throws aside all reason and fights simply with in- stinctive fury.
 Hundreds of episodes can be cited from history showing the reckless ferocity with which women have fought in war. The instance of Countess Zriny, who blew up her castle and herself when the maraud- ing Turks had entered in its walls, is typical of many mediaeval occur ences. Napoleon's soldiers in Spain were resisted with mad fury by the Spanish peasant women, and for that reason he never effectively con quered the country. In proportion. as women make their appearance in the present conflict, will its ferocity be determined.
 The English militant suffragettes have declared truce in their own war with established conditions, and some of them have announced their readiness to go to the front to fight for the country they have for years pestered and under the leadership of the officials they have heckled.
 Numbers of Servian women have enlisted, as they did in the late Bal kan war, under their battle-tattered flag. The Montenegrin women are eager to fight for their country. The German women are actively prepar-
 ing for wal. French women.
 at present, barred collectively,
 are trying individually to slip

 trices are being organized in

CURRENT COMMENT


The last wife of president to die
in the White House was Mrs. Benjamin
Harrison. who passed away few weeks
before the election OF 1892 Her funeral
was in the historic East room, from
which. in the course of century, so
many persons have been carried.
A number of presidents have been wld-
overs during their term of office; 9th
ers have had invalid wives. Mrs. TAFT,
although still young woman, Sufered
nervous breakdown shortly after her
husbands Inauguration and has not yet
fully regained her health. Mrs. Mchin-
lev was hopeless invalid, whose path
in life was made much easier by the sed-
ulous attention of her husband. HIS
calmpess under her inevitable vagaries
brought out the essential sweetness OF
his character. She fell desperately i'll
in San Francisco on his famous Pacific
coast trip. and her life for days was
despaired of, to the abandonment OF
the journey. But she was destined to
survive her husband by some years.
Mrs. Hayes lived many years after her
retirement from the White House, but
passed away before her husband, whose
plant in his later days was; Lucy
has been gone too long."-Boston Her
