SUBMERGING A SUBMARINE.
It Takes Five Minutes For the Best of
 Them to Get Under.

Submal .nes are not easy to handle and it takes considerable skill and daring to navigate them successfully. Many people have the idea that as soon as a submarine sees an enemy. the officer in command gives sharp orler and almost bcforc it has left his lips the submarine is diving beneath the waves.
 As a matter of fact the very latest submarines take n clear five minutes before they can heromc submerged. Many of the older submarines took ten minutes to a quarter of an hour to sink.
 The reason that a submarine cannot dive quickly. like fish Is because the water which must bc let into her tanks to make her heavy enough to sink, must be let in comparatively slowly. If it 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 dis aster. If water, too, were let in too quickly there Is danger of letting in too much and In that case the sub. marine would sink like stone to the bottom of the sea.
 The depth at which submarine travels under the sea is regulated by horizontal rudders. The water that ls let in the ballast tanks Is just suili cient to "balance" the vessel in the sea without rising o: sinking. London Spectator.

SOLDIERS BURDENS.

Loads They Have to Carry on the March and In Action.
 While the rifle Of the infantrymen
 of the worlds armies has steadily
 lessened in weight during the last fifty years, and while constant attempts have been made in other ways to tighten the soldiers burden on march,
 it is nevertheless a fact that the uni.
 formed fighter of today carries very
 little if any less than he did genera
 tion or two ago. His gun and bayo-
 net and some other details of equip
 ment that had an exact counterpart
 in the old armies may be lighter, but
 modem military necessities have add ed to his carrying requirements.
 He must now face this marching load: Magazine rife, bayonet, scab- bard, rife cartridge belt and fasten- CTS, rife cartridge belt suspenders, first aid packet, canteen. canteen strap, set of blankets, roll straps, haversack, meat can (used as frying pan), cup, knife, fork. spoon, one shelter tent
 half), five shelter tent pins, one pom cho (rubber blanket), one pair shoes, one housewife needle and thread, one overcoat, one intrenching tool.
 These marching loads have varied from 40 to 100 pounds in the past and weigh about the same now.
 Of course, in going into action much of this load is discarded, some of it never to be possessed by the owner again, even though he escapes the bat tie peril. In the old days knapsacks were always cast off by seasoned troops, who grew calloused as to the hoarding up of little trinkets and mementos that so appeal to the amateur soldier.
 After battle these discarded knap- sacks might be recovered, but it was not likely. At any rate, while another knapsack might be issued, it would not be the one possessed by the soldier be- fore the battle.
 Whenever a new levy of troops was in and arrived in camp where veterans were stationed the were greeted with mock praise for their spick and span sol dierly appearance, with special em- phasis on "How nice those knapsacks lookw This time honored receptacle of everything a soldier desired or hop ed to keep ever near him is no longer reckoned in the latter day, universal fighting equipment. While troops on going into battle discard everything not absolutely necessary to them for the fight and are thus frightened up some, they have to take on some weight in the place of that relinquished in the shape of an extra number of ridges.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

seeina Both Sides at Once.

Fishes and birds have an advantage over human beings in their ability to see on both sides of them. Their eyes are set not for looking straight ahead, but for looking out on each side. That is because they balance their bodies to right or to left, while we balance for. ward and backward. A bird can watch the tips of both wings at once. The pilot of an aeroplane has to turn his head from side to side to see his wing tips.-New York World

It is not correct to say that "ceme- tery" means the "city of the dead" The word Is from the Greek .koime- terion," meaning sleeping place, not the place of the dead.

The rainbow trout is bluish above, silvery or golden below, more or less spotted with black on the body and fins and with an orange or red lateral band. It is doubtless for this varicolor- ing that it receives its name. 1t is more hardy than the English trout and accommodates itself to almost stag nant waters and has thus proved sue cess in many ponds which were regard eI as fit for coarse fish only. In many places, however, 1t has caused disap- pointment by going down to the sea and never returning. = Philadelphia Press.

What to Use and Avoid
On Faces that Perspire

Skin, to be healthy, must breathe.
1t also must perspire-must expel,
through the pores, its share of the
body's waste material. Certain creams
and powders clog the pores, interior
ing both with elimination and breath
ing, especially during the heated
period. II more women understood
this, there would be fewer self-ruined
compilations. If they would use or
binary mercolized wax they would
have healthy compilations. This re-
markable substance actually ahsorbs
a bad skin. also unclogging the pores.
Result The fresher, younger under
skin is permitted to breathe and to
show itself. The exquisite new COM
plexion gradually peeps out, one free
from any appearance of artificiality.
Obtain an ounce Of mercolized wax
from your druggist and try it. Apply
nightly like cold cream, for week
or two, washing it off mornings.
To remove wrinkles. here's a mar
velously effective treatment. which
also acts naturally and harmlessly:
Dissolve OF. powdered saxolite in II
pit. witch hazel and use as wash
lotion.

COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared sfiampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly In.
jure the hair
Simply mois.en your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lathcr, and cleanses the
hair a.,d scalp thoroughly. The la.hsr
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get muisihed cocoanut oil
1t most any drug store. 1t is very

SICK SKINS
MADE WELL
BY RESIN0L

No matter how long you have been
tortured and disfgured by itching,
burning, raw or scaly skin humors,
just put little of that soothing, an
fiseptic Resinot Ointment on the sores.
The suffering usually stops right there!
Healing begins that very minute,
and in almost every case your skin gets
well SO quickly you feel ashamed of
the money you threw away on tedious,
useless treatments.
Resinol Ointment is not an expert
ment. It is doctors prescription,
which proved so wonderfully successful
for skin troubles that it has been used
by other doctors all over the country
for twenty years. No other treatment
for the skin now before the public can
show such a record of professional ap-

Ointment (5oc. and $l.0ol, and Resi-
mol Soap (25c.). They do wonders for
pimples, blackheads, dandruff and
chafngs, and are a comfort to skin
tortured babies.

ORIGIN OF THE RUMoRs
Source From Which Reports Came
That Wabash Was Going to Bring
Injunction Suit Against
Bridge Company.

1t was reported in Keolsuk recently
that the Wabash railroad had filed or
was about to file an injunction suit
against the Keokuk & Hamilton
Bridge company, giving rise to rumors
that this step was to be taken to pro,
tect its rights because the railroad
feared that the construction Of the
bridge would hinder its traffic.
Some days ago officials OF the rail
road company branded the report as
false and investigation failed to find
any suits filed in local or Illinoi :;
courts. The cause of the rumor has
been ascertaiDed by The Gate City.
The Wabash and the Toledo, Peoria
and Western railroads Jointly use n
stretch of track on the Illinois side o.
the river leading to the bridge. The
Stroebel Construction company Of
Chicago, which is engaged in erecting
the steel work for the new double
decked bridge. has been using this
strip of track over which to switch
it's dinky engines and the two rail
roads have asked for a small rental
for the use Of the tracks.
