ERRING SPARROW
RETURNS To
HIS MATE
Is Back at Museum After So
iourn of a Month in Parts
Unknown.

NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-Tommo. err
rant Java sparrow. is back at the Chill.
drens Museum in Brooklyn after a
months sojourn in parts unknown,
and while he is busy telling 1t all,
bird fashion, to his mate. Quinnle, Miss
Anna b. Gallup, the curator at the
museum, is trying to figure out wheth-
or fate or providence arranged the re-
markable chain Of circumstances at
tending Tommo's flight and return.
1t was just month ago that Miss
Gallup, assisted by Eugene A. Nc
Carly one of the students at the
museum, was giving Tommo and Quin-
ME their baths when Tommo flew out
cf the cage and disappeared through
an open window.
Never mind" said Miss Gallup to
the boy, "Tommo will come back"
Days went by but Tommo, prodigal-
like. did not return for the fattcd seed.
Quinnic. with every sign of grief, ate
hut little and spent most Of the time
with her beak through the wires OF
the cage looking toward the window
through which Tommo had escaped.
Miss Gallup feared the bird would
die.
Yesterday Miss Nellie Francis Nc
iarty, an aunt Of Eugene, who lives
near the museum brought a Java spar
row in a box 10 Miss Gallup. The
bird had flown that morning into the
studio Of Charles II. Budd's gift shop.
in Manhattan, where Miss McCarty is
employed as an artist and designer
Eugene has identified this bird as
a Java sparrow Miss McCarty told
Miss Gallup. and as You lost one re-
Gently have decided to present you
with this one
Miss Gallup examined the gray
plumage, red beak and queer white
spots on the sides of the face, that
resemble little whiskcrs, and uttered
an exclamation of joy.
1T is Tommo!" she said. and soon
Tommo was back in the cage with
Quinuie. There was joyful reunion
Quinnie was her old self again and
she and Tommo flew around the cage
in an ecstasy Of joy. Last night after
dinner together Tommo listened pa
tiently to a curtain lecture from Quin-
ME, and then entered upon a recital Of
his adventures. BY all appearances
he has promised to settle down and
become a model husband At least,
Dummies manner would indicate such
an agreement.

MAN TO SPEND
A VACATION ON
: SEAS BOTTOM
Simon Lake, Inventor, Will
Seek the Flower Beds of
the Ocean.

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, Sept. o.
When Jules Verne wrote his Twenty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" he
intended the story to be mere fancy,
but an American inventor Is soon 10
make the famous Frenchman's dream
come true. Simon Lake is building in
his shipyard here the most remark
able pleasure craft that ever sailed
or steamed the sea. In this boat the
noted submarine engineer. probably
accompanied by members OF his fam
lily md chosen friends, will within tho
next few weeks set out on a unique
vacation. much OF which will be spent
on the bottom Of the Caribbean sea.
When VIC are ready" said Mr.. Lake
a few days ago, I'VE will get down
into the West Indies by cool weather
and spend some months examining
and exploring the ocean bottom. The
submarine gardens in the Antilles
have always interested me and | in
tend to observe them at leisure on the
bottom instead Of from the top.
"NOthlng Strange About IL"
THE expedition will be mainly for
pleasure, but 1t will also have its
scientific aspect. There is nothing at
all strange about II. have gone Wis
itng on the ocean floor on many 9TH
err occasions"
The inventors apparatus consists
really of two vessels, surface
mother" boat and small under-sea
cruiser, the two connected by a great
tube. In action. the little submarine
runs along the bottom on specially
designed wheels, after the manner of
the automobile, furnishing the power
with It's own motor It drags the sur
face boat slowly in It's wake. When
not in use. the tube and submarine
boat float on the surface of the water
and are pushed ahead Of the mother"
All COnveniences Provided.
Mr.. Lake calls the surface vessel a
modified houseboat. For the comfort
of the party 1t will have four state
rooms. dining room, galley, crews
mass room and complete garage, all
above deck. Below deck will be the
engine room, cargo hold and crews
living quarters. The most remarkable
feature of this boat will be the special
well for receiving, holding and con-
trolling the upper end of the great
tube which connects with the subma-
rine.
This tube, four feet six inches in
diameter, is built in adjustable sec
tons designed to resist sea pressure
mt considerable depths. The subma-
rine is an ordinary lake under-sca
craft in miniature. save that most OF
the space is given over to the comfort
of the people who will travel in 1t on
the ocean bottom. 1t is to be equipped
with an outside door and the air pres
sure will be so regulated that the
diver may walk along the ocean bed
and gather submarine posles or re-
cover lost treasure.

TRAIN LOSES
ITS WHISTLE
Makes Startling Dis
COvery and Then It's
whoa, Back Up."

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 9.-When a
Bluff line engine footed for the first
time in an hour at Hettick the other
day, it footed its whistle OFF. The en-
gineer discovered the tooter was miss
Ing at the next station. five miles
away. and had to back up to get it.
The train was southbound and was
spinning along at a pretty fair clip.
When the engineer pulled the string
for the Hettick crossing the engine
footed so nicely he had to smile. 1t
proved TO him that he had plenty of
steam. Nearly five miles further on
the engineer pulled the string for an
other crossing. The whistle only
sizzed but didn't whistle. 1t was not
for lack Of steam. Bluff line trains
always carry enough steam to run and
whistle at the same time. The engl-
neer could not make the engine
whistle because 1t had no whistle.
