land is guessed at something less than 81 feet.
The Nautilus was cylindrical in shape; the YES
sci that has created the sensation during past
weeks Is not quite cylindrical, IN that her Top
sides are carried up for a space nearly Vertlca'
and then tumble home with an easy curve; Or DIT
least if is so indicated by such photographs as
have come to light. The change was undoubtedly
made in the rebuilding, in order to increase the
carving capacity: for it is to be remembered
that the Nautilus not built to carry cargo
and had no great excess of buOyancy. Inc motiVe

''There is still more to come. Both boats-or'
rather the same boat in the two periods OF her

of luxury Listen to what Mr.. Aronnax says
about room into which Captain Memo con-
Quoted him:
" 1T a library. High pieces of furniture
supported upon their wide shelves a great number
of books The electric light flooded everything
It was shed from four unpublished globes, half
sunk in the ceiling And again, in speaking of
the saloon filed with treasures of art beyond
price Mr.. Aronnax mentions the organ, of which
I heard the distant strains of the organ, sad
harmony to indefinabe chant, the wall of a
soul longing to break these earthly bonds"
The Organ on the Nautilus.
"One may not approve of Captain Nemo's taste
in music; some of US may prefer the run of mill
music which may have with monograph
and a selection of records made haphazard; but
he was musical at all events, and had provided
himself with means with which to crafty his
taste But the organ has given way to a phOnO-
graph, with which the crew of the boat enter
tanned themselves the way across or under the
Atlantic. And when they were full up on music
there was the library, with fewer books than that
of old, but with Shakespeare 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 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 a distilling apparatus which by evap-
Grafton furnished excellent drinkafae water How
was the grub of the 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
illus The boat that Captain Koenig commanded

cts a clear case. In every essential the
Deutschland is the Nautilus. In size and form,
excepting as any vessel may be modified in proc
ess of overhauling and refitting, in power plant,
excepting the Diesel engines take the place
of electric motors for surface propulsion, for
economy's sake in the intricate electrical equip
ment for lighting, cooking and in the control and
movement of all parts of the ship; in the means
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
and the Nautilus are and the same. Only
in the use made of the craft is there difference
The Nautilus was built and operated to satisfy
the whim-lets call it whim and forget the
tragedy of it all-of a wealthy enough to
afford it while to the Deutschland, she crossed
the ocean to bring a few pounds of dyestuffs Of
which we in need. It is the case of a thor

old age"
