sidered Marvel,

sidered marvel.
LIE Diable Marin (the Sea DeviD was
one Of the most famous of the nine
teenth century submarines. 1t was
the invention of Wilhelm Bauer. who
launched it in 1856.
This vessel was built of iron. She
was fifty-two feet long, twelve feet
wide and eleven feet deep and shaped
somewhat like a dolphin. Her sides
were six-tenths Of an inch thick and
could resist the pressure of $50 foot
column of water.
The motive power was provided by
treadmill. and the up or down motion
was achieved by shifting water in lon
gitudinal tanks by means of pistons.
At the bow was bomb or torpedo
containing fifty pounds of powder, and
near it were two heavy india rubber
gloves, by means of which a man in
side the vessel could reach out and
fasten the bomb to the bottom or side
Of ship. To purify the air Bauer ar
ranged long pipes, which were quite
effective in revivifying the stale air
for short time.
The Russian government supplied
him with crew Of eighteen men, who
were to make a trial trip with him,
but on his first descent they were so
alarmed as to be useless, and when
the Diable Marin rose again to the sur
face they cried, praise be to Godr'
When his men were more accustom-
ed to the work Bauer executed many
wonderful maneuvers and on one occa-
sion stayed under water while he
wrote letters to his mother, King Max
imilian of Bavaria and the Grand Duke
Constantine.-Boston Globe.
