fine cathedral, which is said to be built
on the very site of the house of Pub
Illus. Entering the cathedral. we see
a great image of st. Paul. covered with
a silver cloth. reminder by contrast
perhaps Of how little of that precious

In a nearby suburb of Citta Vecchia
is another church dedicated to St

inhabitants devoutly believe is built
over the very grOtto in which he lived
during his three months on the island,
and the catacOmbs Of the grotto are
also called after his name
One striking monument to the apos-

this wonderful story. In the bay of

SUBMERGING A SUBMARINE.
1t Takes Five Minutes For the Best of
Them to Get Under.

1t Takes Five Minutes For the Best of
Them to Get Under.
Submarines are not easy to handle
and il takes considerable skill and
daring to navigate them successfully.
Many people have the idea that as soon
as Il submarine sees an enemy. the
officer in command gives a sharp order,
and almost before it has left his lips
the submarine is diving beneath the
waves.
AS a matter of fact the very latest
submarines take a clear five minutes
before they can become submerged.
Many of the older submarines took ten
minutes to a quarter of an hour to
sink.
The reason that submarine cannot
dive quickly. like fish. is because the
water which must be let into her tanks
to make her heavy enough to sink,
must be let in comparatively slowly.
If it were let in with a 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 a danger of letting in
too much and In that case the sub
marine would sink like a stone TO the
bottom of the sea.
The depth Mt which a submarine
travels under the sea is regulated by
horizontal rudders. The water that is
let in the ballast tanks is just suf1
cient to balance" the vessel in the
sea without rising or sinking.-London
Spectator.

PETROGRAD IS A WONDER.
A City Built by Russia In Defiance CT
the Laws of Nature.

A City Built by Russia In Defiance CT
the Laws of Nature.
1t is an amazing monument to the
despotism of the cars that Petrograd
has dourished, as it was built. in de-
fance of the laws of trade and of ma
(ture herself. AS a port it is immeas-
urably inferior to Riga. which has
much longer open season. for Petro-
grad is icebound from early November
to the end of April. AS building site
it has been repeatedly and disastrous
ly flooded by the Neva. The highest
elevation within the bounds Of the city
is less than fifteen feet above sea level,
and the cellars have to be baled out
nearly every spring when the ice melts
and the wind blows.
And the rigorous climate constantly
gnaws at walls and columns until the
city has been twice and thrice rebuilt
by the czars. Many of the most im-
posing structures are held together
only By means of iron clamps. and the
huge bOwlder on which Peter rides his
bronze horse is ever crumbling away.
The stones Of the streets are continual
~ sinking below the level. and the
great Cathedral of St Isaac never
ceases to settle on a foundation In
which nearly $1,00O,OOO was sunk. No
less than six tiers Of piles were driven
for the beautiful column of Alexander
l., yet that eighty foot monolith. the
tallest and largest in Europe. has to
be clamped In iron.
AS a dwelling place Petrograd re-
mains the most fatal of any great city
in the civilized world. with mortali-
ty of twenty-eight to each 1000 of pop
ulation, and within ten years its death
rate actually exceeded its birth rate
