The First Submarine.

The first submarine of which we
have ans record was invented by God.
ana the first passenger to travel in it
was his disobedient prophet, Jonah.
This submarine was created and on
hand at the moment of Jonah's great
est need. Gods providence was over
him even in his sin and God would not
let him perish until after he had time
for serious reelection. Insths subma-
rine Jonah was the only living pas
senger, and he had no periscope to
show him what was going on outside
and to distract his mind. Those few
days of undisturbed communication
with God, while it did not broaden Jo-
nah into Il prophet with world vision.
did lend him to decide to obey Jeho-
yah, md through his obedience to sage
his own life for worthy service for
God. The decision being made, Jonah
was carried free Of charge in Gods
submarine and landed at point near
est to Nineveh, where he was able to
do the greatest work of his life.-Bap-
fist Watchman-E Examiner.

Find Seal FIyina DRAGON.


What is said to be the only reptile
that can fly has been recently discov.
cred in Borneo. This creature is liz
ard about ten inches long, its body
brilliantly colored. 1t does not have
wings in the usual understanding of
the term, but its ribs, widely extended,
enable the lizard to soar in much the
same way that an airplane or bird
drifts on current Of air. These fly
ing lizards commonly travel in swarms,
frequenting the deepest forests, says
nm exchange. Seen at Il distance they
are said to look much like birds, with
their brilliantly hued bodies. Science
has not as vet hit upon name for the
newly discovered specie of reptile. but
has called it the flying dragon. which
seems an excellent name. everything
considered.

Chinese nature Lovers.

Fresh Greens for the Canary.

Canaries are very fond of lettuce,

me the way to crafty our pets without
harm to them, as experience has
proven. Some months since, a little
birdseed was spilled on the earth in
Il large tub containing a rubber plant.
Soon these seeds sprouted, and we hit
upon the idea of removing the bottom
from the cage and setting it over the

Eggs, Ten Cents Hundred!

An Oklahoman has been deyoting his
spare time TO study of prices in the
lcng ago, and has rediscovered the fact
that during the reign of Henry " OF
England goose cost cents, not a
pound, but the whole bird; eggs were
10 cents 100; 10 pounds of butter
could be had for Is cents; wine was
8 cents a quart, and whole carcass
of beef could be obtained for $3.50.
How the Imagination is stirred by
those figures until one reads that
skilled carpenters were paid ~ cents
q day and less skilled workers in pro-
portion. The Oklahoman is much puz.
zled by it all, but at least he sees
clearly when stating that the only
hope is in increased production.-San

Some people who are inclined to
criticize Gov Graham because the 1st
Vermont regiment was not kept to-
gether may not know exactly what
they are talking about 1t is not ne
cessary for the governor to make any
explanation of the matter as all who
are acquainted with his methods, well
kndw he did his best to keep the 1st
Vermont intact, but men higher IN
decided differently There was rea-
son and it is just as well that every
one is not made conversant with the
important changes that the war de-
partment deem wise to make.-Swan-
ton Courier.
The plain truth in the matter is
that our usually keen witted governor
and our members of congress got one
put over on them in the matter of the
First Vermont. There was no mil
itary or civil reason for the COM
,plete ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the regi
ment. Vermont was snubbed and in
suited by the treatment given one of
the best national guard regiments in
the country and again, when Cover
nor Graham was not invited to take
cart in the series of reviews by Nea
England governors at Westfeld This
is only fragrant of the true story.
For military reasons we refrain from
saying more, but sincerely trust that
the facts may be brought out some
time, when they will do no harm.

BRITISH TAKE FORTY TOWNS.
The Allied Troops Pushing Forward
on Heels of Germans.

Again the British and French
forces in France are moving rapidly
against the retiring Germans and
both the London and Paris war Of
fees chronicle additional important
gains in terrain at various points
along the line running from Arras to
the region of Scissors. Forty more
villages have been taken by the Brit
ish in the districts south and south
east of Peronne, while east of Ham,
north of Tergnier, and north of Sois-
sons the French have made good
progress.
To the north, between Nurlu. and
Arras, the Germans at a number of
points are beginning to resist the
British advance vigorously, but de-
spite this, says London, their rear
guards are being steadily driven back
and the progress of the British con-
tinues. In the Ailette valley and
along the east bank of the Crousat
canal the Germans are in strong
force and have heavily bombarded
French positions.
The Russians apparently still have
the upper hand of the Turks on the
Persian border front, Petrograd re-
porting that they have been driven
from the region of Sakkiz and that
the Russians have crossed the Per-
sian border and invaded Mesopo-
tamia, thus adding to the menace of
the Ottoman troops, who are in re-
treat before the British up the Tigris
and Dialah rivers from Bagdad. To
the south of Sakkiz the Turks, who
recently were forced to evacuate ker-
manshah, continue to fall back. On
none of the front have there been
engagements of much Importance.
Unofficial advices received in Lon
don from Holland are to the effect
that serious food riots have broken
out in Berlin and that frontier regi-
ments have been sent there to main
tain order.

and the boat later went down. AS far
as we have been able to learn, ABOUT
900 of the crew were drowned
though over 100 of us escaped. The
boat was an Alaskan whaling boat
turned into a steamer and was one
of the largest of it's kind of the seas. :

"The submarine transported me,
