Success and Size in Wives.

II was Misther Dooley who first said
for publication that he could never love
the woman who could lick him. No doubt
at the time he considered this popular
sentiment, but that was before social
workers had unearthed the many apparent
contradictions in human nature to be
found where it fourishes in its pristine
glory. Now he is being confronted with
the discovery, made in his own native
city of Chicago, that the big, powerful
wife is the one least likely to be deserted.
1t may be true, of course, that the big
woman in securing mate must possess
rather extraordinary attractions to offset
the menace of her size and that this ac-
counts for her marital success. Dooley
might impress Hennessey with such an
argument; he cannot persuade the rest of
us. For it seems much more likely that
the tie which binds in this case is the
wholesome respect which thorough pun
ishment instils in the masculine BOSOM
There may even be greater truth, as well
as more ALTERATION, in this paraphrase of
the old proverb: A husband, dog and
hickory tree, the more you beat 'em the
better they be.

for ten hours 10 the opinion that the fact

Pious Hatred.

The business Of adapting religious con-
yictions to occasional requirements con-
tinues to be carried on with exemplary
perseverance and conscience by the
divines of the several nations engaged in
the Great War. 1t was not so hard a
task to deal with generals as with
particulars, to show, for instance, that
wars are not in themselves evil, or even
to establish a nice distinction between
this war and others, proving. a. noted
English prelate endeavored TO do, that "the
present war is, perhaps more than any
other Of modern times, a spiritual war"
The real difficulty lay IN explaining away
or justifying certain questionable condl-
tions associated in the popular mind with
the occupation of fighting, and sometimes
as inseparablc from the idea of war as
irreconcilable with the plain teachings Of
Scripture
An ingenious German thcologian has
lately undertaken to prove TO the salts
faction Of his readers in the "Bcrliner
Morgenpost" that there is nothing 10 the
religion of love that, rightly interpreted,
interferes with "the right to hate" 1t is
true enough, he admits, that the New
Testament is full of passages that seem
al variance with the current patriotic
doctrine Of hate toward England. Thus
we are told to love our ncighborS as our
selves, to turn the left cheek TO him who
smites US on the right. and freely TO give
our cloak to any man who by process Of
law takes away our coat. And, which IS
more. we are directed expressly to love
our enemies. to bless them that curse US
and to pray for them that desptefully
use us aud persecute US. Thus far 1t Is
manifest. Pastor Falck confesSes, that
hatred has no place in the profession Of
Christianity. But-here is the important
point-the New Testament Is not always
at one with the Old, which is full of hate
and revenge. An eye for an eye, tooth
for tooth-that was the Hammurabian
teaching of earlier times, and primitive
Christianity accepted the Old Testament
as we'll as the New. Moreover, in the Old
Testament, and notably in some Of the
Psalms, there is an expression of national
feeling that fully satisfies all German re-
quirements.
But even if we stick to the New Testa-
ment it is by no means certain, to Pastor
Falck's way of thinking. that we are
obliged slavishly to follow the words Of
the Sermon in the Mount. We must,"|
he argues, measure tie words of Jesus
by his deeds" and if we do it is apparent
that he was capable Of hate, for he de-
nounced others as whitcd sepulcares, as

Submarine Perils.

! IL is doubtless because of the conditions
commonly attending the loss of submarine
boats that there is general disposition to
overestimate the dangers of navigation be-
low the surface The hidden way IN which
these vessels usually meet with disaster
and the manner in which they have some
times disappeared-these circumstances
and the consequent uncertainty as TO the
fate of their crews cause kind of ap-
prehension and horror not so often asso-
ciated with the many accidents to which
other vessels are subject. I'm comparison
with most others they are certainly fragile,
and it is obvious that they are constantly
exposed to peculiar and extraordinary
perils. yet when it is considered that the
disaster which has befallen the F-4 is the
first of this kind in the records Of the
United States Navy it is manifest that in
point of safety submarine navigation
compares not unfavorably with navigation
in the air.
1t is a commonplace familiar TO every
one who remembers the earlier expert
ments with the modern type of submarine
that the difficulties encountered in effect
ing rapid submergence were much greater
than those involved in bringing the ves-
sells to the surface. A majority of the
commoner accidents-that is TO say, accl-
dents due to failure of the engines and so
forth-insure the rising of most boats OF
the submersible kind, since they are gen
erally held in the submerged condition
only by their engines AM diving-rudders.
Clearly. however, any grave injury to the
hull. which is weak and easily pierced,
might readily cause such sudden inruSh
of water as instantly to settle the fate OF
the vessel and probably of her crew.
The later types of submarines are, IN
deed. all fitted with airlOcks, but these
could hardly be worked at great depth
They have been tested successfully at 20
fathoms or so, but even then it is clear
that only under exceptionally favorable
conditions would they be serviceable and
that at the best this way of escape must be-
slow and uncertain.
A danger that has never been quite
overcome and to which Mr.. Edison again
directs attention is at present inevi-
tably associated with the motive power
used to drive the submarine when
under water. Electricity has many dis
advantages, and one of them is the mani
fest danger of salt water coming in
contact with the storage batteries and de
veloping chlorine gas. In the latest types
of vessels the batteries are inclosed in
alright cases, but certain degree of risk
is still present.
All things considered. however. the
perils of the submarine are less numerous
and less constant than those of the airship.
They impress themselves on Us, as it has
been said, because of the mystery attached
to them, as in the case of one Of the
British boats, which. after successful
voyage Of 1900 miles without convoy,
disappeared one day while cruising in
Australian waters and vas never heard
of again.
