SEA IS KIND TO v-BoA1s
Its Tendency Is to Lift the Craft
Rather Than Drag Her
Under.

Ashore we make the mistake per-
haps of thinking Of a submarine as
heavy, loggy body fighting always for
her life beneath an unfriendly ocean.
whereas she is light-mOving, easily
controlled creature cruising in a rath-
er friendly element.
The ocean is always trying to lift
her atop and not hold her under water.
A submarine could be sent under with
a positive buoyancy so slnall-that is,
with so little more than enough in her
tanks to sink her-that an ordinary
man standing on the sea bottom could
catch her as she came floating down
and bounce her up and off merely by
the strength of his arms. Consider
submarine under water as we would a
toy balloon in the air, say. Weight
that toy balloon so that it just falls to
earth. Kick that toy balloon, and what
does it do? Doesn't it bounce along.
and after few feet fall easily down
again and up and on and down again?
Picture strong wind driving that
Toy D0IlOOn NlOnS tne street anu tle
balloon, as it bumps along, meeting an
obstacle. Will the balloon smash itself
against the obstacle, or what will 1t
do? What that balloon does is pretty
much what submarine would do If,
while running along full speed under
water, she suddenly ran into shoal wa
ter. She would go humping along on
the bottom, and, meeting an obstacle,
If not too high, she would be more
likely to bounce over 1t than to smash
herself against thames B. Connolly,

HOT BATHS THAT ARE HOT
How the Japanese Are ParboiIed at
the kasatsu Notwithstanding
Of an Ordeal.

At the Kasatsu hot springs in Japan,
bathing is a species Of parboiling that
tries the epidermis as we'll as the en-
durance of even the japanese, who are
accustomed to take hot bath daily.
It is the so-called ''time BATH" At
this spa four baths taken at stated In
tervals are the rule, says East and
West. Before taking a bath in pub
lie bathhouse ut the word of command
from the bathmaster all bathers take
long deal boards in hand and together
stir up the water in the large tub for
about on hour to cool it down to a
bearable temperature. Then they
kneel in rows along the edge of the tub
and each pours 100 to 200 dipperfuls
of hot water over his head to prevent
congestion on entering the water. At
the second command they all go in
very slowly and carefully. The tenn
perature of the water is SO degrees
Centigrade (122 degrees Fahrenheit),
and bath is not to exceed three min
utes. The bathmaster calls out at in
tervals Tin japanese, Of course): 1.-TWO
minutes remain" "Only one minute"
"Put up with it Bit" Perseverance
is necessary" and finally, "Now, then,
get out" Confusion ensues, all leap
ing out with great alacrity, being
eager to escape from the ordeal they
have been undergoing. A similar pro-
cess is gone through by each of the
rows of bathers, who stand along the
side of the tub, waiting their turn.

the crowds would flock toward it and
read with as much interest as If it
had been the work of regular mayor.
The houses are occupied only in the
daytime. When shutdown comes the
men board their ships for the night.
During the daytime they enjoy them
selves on land at will, drinking coffee.
playing cards or reading within the
houses.
Besides killing time by improving
the village, the men have a great num-
Der of pets, and they also indulge in
athletic games. They have dogs, chick
ems, birds and cats which they treasure
as children would. On the athletic
field they hold turnvereins, boxing
matches and athletic games, as well
as swing Indian clubs and play medi-
cine ball and football. All of the men
are in splendid physical condition as
a result of their outdoor play. If
called upon to return to the sea tomor-
row they would be none the worse off
for their enforced vacation.
Their Chief Interest.
War news, Of course, forms the
greater part of their interest. They
follow every detail closely, and when
ever anything of great moment hap
pens, or is reported to have happened,
the folk of the tidewater country
anxiously inquire for the German vii
lage view Of it. And for persons in
termed as they are they have wonder
full insight on coming events. Much

capes about things that are likely to

American firms who contemplate an
extension of enterprise in this direc-
zion may be advised to consider the
proposed action of the Russian govern
snent to establish a new line of ships
running between Melbourne and Sgd
ney and Vladivostok. The Russian
authorities have suggested that in the
event of such company being formed,
with half Russian and half Australian
capital, they would purchase the requi-
site ships, substitute the company and
take repayment in small sums over q
long period. These are the proposals
set forth by special trade envoy who

suNFLowER ON DEAD LIMB
Plant Thrives While Vegetation on
Earth Perishes for Lack Of
Moisture.

Petersburg, Ind. w. Wilson, an
attorney of this town, has dead South
Carolina poplar tree in the back of his
law Office. Several months ago he no
ticed sprig of green sprouting from
one of the limbs. He knew the tree
was dead, and watched the sprout until
now it has grown into large sun
flower bush that will be ready to bloom
in few days. There is no way to get
moisture to the sunflower, and the
limb is less than two inches in diam

happen in the war, and which comes
true, frequently can be traced back to
the village.
When the Deutschland successfully
eluded the allied cruisers recently the
village celebrated. But it did not cele-
brate the decision in the Appam case
which would return the captured YES
sci to her English owners.
That Appam case recalls the state
ment previously made that the village
has no desire for more inhabitants.
There is some fear that the Appam
crew may be added to the village, If 1t
should be decided that it was the duty
of the United States as neutral to
intern the men. And that is not de-
sired by the Germans. Every man who
passes into the village is one more lost
to the German service during the war.
Hence to gain in population, thing
ardently desired by most villages.
means a loss to the fatherland, which
is not to be desired now.
Inside. the village is very, very Ger
man. They speak the German Ian
guage, they sing the German songs,
they follow the German customs. But
If one tires of that, he soon can turn to
things that are American. For in
stance, just outside the village there Is
long row of as fine sunflOwers as
are growing anywhere in the state OF
Kansas, and running In and out Of the
navy yard there are some taxicab driv-
ers who surely are direct descendants
of some Of our pioneer American road
agents.

weeks ago he deposited letter in the

The second time he mailed a letter
and again it was missing. Again he
deposited a letter, and this time he

saw bluebird light on the mail box,

wealthy man, provided in his will that
100000 should be set aside to provide
an income for life for Lew Keith, In
case he could be found.
The receipt Of this information
caused some comment and surprise in
Silver Creek. 1t didn't bother Lew
much. One day he was observed wend-
ing q somewhat unsteady course from
one hotel to another, and he was asked
wherefore.
"Nothin', only I've been somewhat
staggered by the news" he said.
It's all true. Lew says he was 10
Sedalia in 1873. He says he worked
for Mr.. Carter and helped him with the
machine.
1T wasn't anything to worry over,
though" he says. "All Carter needed
was suggestion or two, and I had
the suggestions-that's all there was
to it,

members Him in His WILL
His Plans.

Silver Greek, N. Y.-The greatest of
all miracles has occurred right in this
village. "Lew" Keith is worth for
tune. 1t is hard for people to believe
it, but it's an actual fact. So far US
he can recall, "Lew" never had more
than five dollars at one time in his life,
and now he is worth 100000.
Lew" is the modern Rip Van
Wrinkle. He is about sixty-five years of
age. He was born here, but moved
away soon after the war, with hfs
folks, and passed few years in Mis-
souri,, returning again to remain the
rest of his life. A good many towns
have characters like Lew" He can
recite Shakespeare by the week. He is
q philosopher with a quaintness of ex-
preston which makes him highly en-
pertaining. He has always made his
living "tinkering." He can make a
motor boat, violin, a camera, a
threshing machine-in fact, he can
make anything or mend anything that
anyone ever dreamed of. But he
never tried to make any money. He
never wanted any.
But listen to what has befallen him :
A few weeks ago John B. Webster,
village president, got letter from Sc
dalia, Mo-, asking If Lew" Keith were
alive, and if so to furnish proofs of his
identity.
"Tell 'em I'm alive, all right" was
"Lew's" nonchalant comment.
Mr.. Webster did. Back came a let
ter from the vice president of trust
company in st. Louis. This is, in sub
stance, what it said:
In 1873 q man named Carter, living
in Sedalia, was ut work on machine
to separate zinc from ore. He was un-
able to perfect his device. Lew
Keith, a young man, happened in and
tinkered around till the machine was
complete. Lew" moved away. Mr..
Carter patented the machine and made
fortune out of it. Many times during
his life he started to hunt up Lew
Keith, but never followed out the no.
