LITERARY GOSSIP
TEuToN INTEREST IN BRITISH
u E AUTHOR.

Compton Mackenzie whose novel;
'Plashers MEa6 x was published
shortly after be joined the British
forces in the Dardanelles, is now In
Athens, according to news just re-
ceived from England. 1t Is reported
that he is the manager of a bureau
in that city which gathers Information
In regard to persons who desire pass-
ports in order to go to Egypt pr other
Allied countries. The activities OF
This bureau have excited the anti
Extent press, which does Mr.. Mac
kenzie the honor of considering him
a dangerous person and even reports
all his movements. The quiet charm
of peaceful English scenes in "Plash-
ers Mead" seems far away indeed
from the authors present duties.
CENTENARY OF FREDERICK w.
ROBERTSON. .
1t is interesting just now in view OF
the centenary of Frederick w. Rob-
ertson's birth to recall that that great
preacher nearly entered another pro-
fession. BY ancestry and family ira
ditions he was drawn to the army and
his plan of life was to enter the SER
vice and go to India. But his father,
says the editor of Life and Letters
of, Frederick w. Robertson" considY
cred that the character of his son and
his deep religious feeling We're TN
fitted for that life, and finally he per-
suaded him to give it up and to enter
the church. For over half a century
the popularity of "Robertson's Ser
mons" has continued and only re-
Gently the Harpers brought them out
in a new one-volume edition. ~
A SUBMARINE TO THE RESCUE.
Very few people are aware that the
submarine was invented in practic-
able form during the Napoleonic
regime in Europe. The original Brit
ish inventor, Mr.. J. Day, was drowned
in Plymouth Sound in his own boat in
liza. The Bushnell submarine fol.
lowed, the work of an American in
ventor, and came near being used dur
ing the Revolutionary War to blow
up British warship. The attempts
proved however, aborptive because the
explosives used were not of sufficient
power Mr.. Frederick A. Talbot, writ-
ing about this In his Submarines;
Their Mechanism and Operation" re-
Gently published by the Lippincotts,
tells of the next submarine exploit
no less than a daring plot to rescue
Napoleon from st. Helena, where he
was held prisoner by the English
Captain Johnson built the submarine
for the deed; the boat was to be car.
ried ON shipboard to point near the
island. Here the submarine was to
be lowered overheard and therein
Capt. Johnson was to proceed under
water to the island to a lonely part
OF the shore where a landing could be
effected. A huge sum of money was
promised if the attempt should prove
successful, while 100000 was to be
paid over on the day the boat was
completed. But on the day when
work en- the outer shell of copper
was TO be started the desperate en-.
terprise was rendered unnecessary
owing to the death of the august
prisoner" Think of Napoleon in q
submarine 1t is a curious idea,
isn't it ... =.

In the eastern fields, the wells
coming in are not important as to
size or location. The thing most
desired by operators is new produc-
cling territory, capable of furnishing
better wells tnan the average in the
old districts. Wildcatters are indus
triously searching for new pools but
are seemingly no nearer realization
Of their hopes than when work Of
that kind began during the last two
1-=5ashs.
All sections Of the eastern fields
show an increase in operations with
a large percentage confined to the
old producing territory sections. The
increasing number Of dry holes
shows that operators are taking
chances in any locality that looks
promising and with no regard for
previous busters. The result Of the
great activity that prevails in the
eastern delds gives but very little
Increase In new production, and with
no let up IN the demand for high
