Submarine Booms Trade.

In these days with many visitors
rambling around, the telescope man on
the Battery sea wall does Il land office
business. Possibly it is his descrip-
ton Of the remarkable sights to be
seer by means Of his long glass that
IS responsible for the trade. Some Of
them are described on q neat canvas
sign as follows:
"This telescope shows Statue Of Lib
erty, ~ miles away and 305 feet high.
Also cannon, forts and soldiers on Gov
ernor's island. Liners and ships may
be seen, including captains and pas
sengers. Views s cents
Perhaps there is in the last sem
tence Il subtle suggestion that the lin
ers may be summarized; in other
words, "take a last look at your
friends" At any rate he never fails
to call attention to passing liners
which mount guns for defense against
submarine guns, demanding that pass
ersby take this chance of getting a
good look ut the guns mounted on the
stern. This is a ncver-failing 0ttrac-
ton nowadays and means n fresh
shower of nickels for the telescope
