Submarines Dive Slowly.

Many people have the idea that as
soon as a submarine sees an enemy
the officer In command gives a sharp
order. and almost before II has left
his lips the submarine Is diving be-
meath the waves. AS a matter OF fact
tho very latest submarines OF the Fl
class take a clear five minutes before
they can become submerged. Many OF
the older submarines took ten minutes
to q quarter OF an hour to sink.
The reason why a submarine can
not dive quickly, like a fish, Is ttat
tho water which must be let into her
tanks to make her heavy enough to
sink must be let In comparatively
slowly. II 1t were let in with rush
the chances are the vessel would not
go down on an even keel, but would
= heel over and be in great danger Of
disaster. II water. too. we're let in
too quickly there is a danger OF let
ting in too much and in that case the
submarine would sink like a stone
to the bottom OF the sea The water
that Is let In the ballast tanks is
Just sufficient to balance" the yes.
sci in the sea, without rising OF sink.

LEFT MAIL IN HOLLOW STUMP


The pioneers OF tie Northwest often
made use of huge trees followed out
by fire or decay. Some OF these tree
houses" they occupied as temporary
residences. Others they used as shell
ters for stock or as primitive barns.
Only one. however. ever had the dis
tlnction of being United States post
ty. in the state OF Washington.
In early days the settlers were wide
ly scattered, and it was a long journey
over rough trails to the post office.
Carriers could do no more than leave
mall at some central point. The big
cedar stump, l2 feet In diameter and
reduced to q shell by fire, was a base
from which q number OF trails radl-
ated. BY common consent II became
the post Office for wide region. The
settlers put on a roof OF cedar shakes
and nailed boxes round its interior
which they marked with their names
There was large box for the out

for more than year. 1t nas been

Preventing Train Wrecks.

When a troop or provision train is
travelling through an enemy's country
every precaution is taken to guard
against its being blown up or de-
stroyed in some way.
Occasionally another train is sent
ahead to clear the way for the one
following. but more often two trucks,
heavily loaded with worthless ma
terials. are placed in front OF the en-.
gine and act as sort OF dummy
head" Should explosive or mine be
placed on the line these trucks come
into contact with II before the en-,
gine and bear the brupt OF the dam
age. They are. OF course. blown to
pieces, but they are worth little, and
the engine remains intact.
