there was the library, with fewer books than that
of old, but with Shakespeare as foundation of
literary satisfaction.
"Still skeptical? How was the food of the crew
of the Nautilus cooked? By electricity. Says Mr..
Aronnax: Then door opened into a kitchen nine
feet long, situated between the large stOreroOms
There electricity, better than gas itself, did all
the cooking. The streams under the furnaces
gave out to the sponges of platina heat which
was regularly kept up and distributed. They
also heated distilling apparatus, which by evap-

was the grub of the crew of the so-called
Deutschland cooked? BY electricity, said Captain
Koenig although he did not give description of
the cooking apparatus in anything like as full
detail as does Mr. Aronnax of that of the Maui

provided for going below the surface of the
water at will, and in returning to the surface at
pleasure; even in the provision for the comfort
and entertainment Of the crew. the Deutschland
