cycIist Messengers Satisfactory.

One of the difficulties that has been
experienced by infantry following up
retreat, has been the quick trans
mission Of reports and the mainten-
ance of touch with their flanking col
umn, writes q war correspondent. In
cyclist training no little time is de-
voted to perfecting the system of COM
munication, and experience has proved
that cyclist messengers are both a
speedier and more reliable means Of
communication than either telephones,
which have to be laid, or visual Sig
mailing.
Prior to 1914, there were many who
asserted that cyclists We're too vulner-
able to be Of use. 1t has been proved
already that they were wrong, even
though the character Of the war in
the West has not been peculiarly IA
vorable to cycllst operations, and that
cycllst battalions are and will con-
tinue to be one of the most important
and valuable arms Of the service.

GROWING OF COCKS
Rosters Midnight Alarm May
Be Haunt of Soldier7
Historical Events Are Quoted to Show
Effects Of Call at Regular
Hours.

Is the growing Of the cock the
haunt of soldiers2
Philosophers might ask themselves
this question, fools might hesitate long
enough with ray of intelligence to
remark, ut does look funny" The
cock sounds his first shrlll clarion call
at twelve o'clock, midnight.
His neighborlng cock from an emil
nent perch In an apple tree hears it
and answers "auwk-er-uk-er-oo-o.
Then he sleeps again and an hour
later sounds the second watch of the
night. He sleeps some more. He
sounds the call from the barracks and
his neighbors join In to make the
dawning welkln ring.
Through this Eastern section, where
eastern and central time changes and
the country is thickly settled, there Is
an hour difference in the time of the
midnight growing of the cock within
few niles ride Of the traveller.
Since the war began in Europe and
the nations engaged in that conflict
set the clocks back an hour for mill
has adjusted his midnight growing to
suit the hour by the clock.
Beginning two weeks before Christ
mas the cock crows first at ten o'clock
at night and then at the regular hours
as before until after Christmas eve.
When the Roman empire claimed its
outposts as the outposts Of civilization
and Its armies as legions, the watches
of the night were sounded by the bu-
gle of the sentinel from his tower sta
toned wherever the mighty country
had laid claim to domain. 1t was then
that the growing of the cock seems to
have become connected with the SOL
dier's call of the watches of the night.
''The cock shall not thrice crow this
night before you shall deny me-" 1t
Is mentioned in the Bible to denote
the watches of the night.
The Christmas festivities in the
early days of Christianity lasted sew
eral days, beginning prior to Christ
mas day and the revelries of the night,
in which wines flowed freely, doubt
less led to a curfew call which de-
scended to the cock as the other watch
calls Of the soldiers bugle.
In the present world war when the
haunt of the soldier is again world
wide, 1t is not unlikely that 1t might
exert an influence on the life Of the
domestic animal. The horse, 1t IS
claimed by scientists, can scent the
battle from afar and his nature even
feels the approach of war.
Even again the time Of the uni
versal growing of the cock might be
changed by the effect Of the military
change of the people Of the day.

Open-Air Schools.

Quite the popular fad in the East Is
the outdoor school, especially for the
very young children. These schools
are generally on the porches Of the
houses where they are held and are
thus partly protected, and at the same
time get plenty of fresh air. Miss
Aimee Harvey, formerly Of st. Louis,
who spent a year at the Montessori
school in Rome few years ago, has
charge of such school at Lexington,
Mass, for the winter, having also
taught a summer class out Of doors.

"Best in the world"
"Want to see our soldier boys win?"

"Then put up these posters" fired
at him, land put them up p. d. O., for
the money which comes from the sale
of these bonds is used to equip for
fighting the boy you and all your town
folk want to see win"
Such is the spirit one meets often
in the country round-indifference,
strange ignorance In land of schools
and newspapers-until the native
sense Of practicability is touched.
Must our fathers and sons and
brothers come back to US bleeding or
dead before we can be more generally
awakened 10 dn UNDERSTANDING Indt
this war of civilization against the
barbarism of the Germans is our war?
That it is for our safety, our freedom
that our boys have gone to fight-a
safety we have enjoyed these last
three years in the shelter of the great
English fleet and the valor and
strength of the French and British
armies.
That is why you must support the
government and buy these bonds;
that is why the governments business
is your business, the business of every
man and woman worthy to enjoy the
blessings of this great republic.

within each one is mechanism to pump out the
water and thus them to rise to the top.
Each pontoon has two powerful electro-mag-
nets, fed by cable from the surface. These large
fiat magnets hold the pontoon firmly against the
side OF the ship. From the pontoon rise twelve to
twenty strong steel cables, which are kept upright
under water by air-flled buoys on their upper
ends The cables lie close against the side of the
ship. Inserted in each cable is two-inch expan-
sion bolt with broad head.
The submarine maneuvres into position until
she is over of these cables. She attaches her.
self to the side of the ship by four electro gnets
running carriers which are worked by shafts
from the interior of the submarine. They operate in
pairs, two enabling her to move sideways along
the side of the ship and two to move up and down.
Projecting through the front of the submarine
are a two-inch drill and alongside it, six inches
away, thrust-bar. The submarine having at
tached itself by sucker-ike magnets to the side
of the ship in the position already described the
drill is thrust out toward the broad headed bolt on
the first cable 1t pushes the bolt little to one
side and then under the direction of the skilled
operators in the submarine quickly drills two
inch hole in the steel plate of the ship
Then the submarine crawls six inches sideways
on its magnet carriers until the push bar is lust
over the hole drilled The push-bar then gets hold
OF the bolt head fixed in the cable. The push-bar is
fitted with concave magnet while the bolt head
is convex. The bolt head while the current is on is
therefore held firmly against the push-bar, which
thrusts the bolt into the two-nch hole already
drilled. This bolt is fitted with expansion wings
which open slightly after it is pushed through the
hole and make withdrawal impossible. The ships
side is now attached firmly by the steel cable to
the pontoon.
The submarine continues to travel along the
side of the ship drilling holes and pushing in bolts
The bolts are about eighteen inches apart.
1t has been calculated b., the inventor that it
would require hundred pontoons to lift the
Lusitania from the bottom of the ocean, The
largest pontoon used is about forty feet long and
fifteen feet in diameter, and has a lifting power
of 300 tons when the water is driven out The
Lustania weighed approximately $4,000 tons,
but her weight in the water would be only eouiya-
len, to 10000 tons. 1t would therefore require
one hundred pontoons lifting 300 tons apiece to
raise her.
A working model of the submarine was first
built and then tested in tank. A listed ma
chine is now nearly completed in the workshop Of
the American Salvage Co., of New York which is
conducting this enterprise. 1t is planned that this
. machine shall be used without delay to raise
steamship which has been lying at the bottom of
Lake Huron for two years with 81 900 900 of cop
per in her.

war alone has probably added billions of
value to the grand total.
1t anybody could invent method of raising
but moderate proportion of these lost ships he
would certainly tap vast mine of riches and
benefit the world greatly The problem has been
tackled by many methods without great success,
but an American engineer, w. D. Sisson has at
last built machine which he believes will settle
the question and which appears quite practical
This latest inventor has planned to recover
the ships by means of novel submarine work
shop IN which the workers move freely about
the wreck and see just what they are doing
Hitherto such work has been done by divers who
were unable, rule to work satisfactorily at
a greater depth than eighty feet, and were at all
depths very much handicapped by difficulties of
seeing and moving.
The cannon ball submarine" as it has been
called, is spherical, eight feet in diameter made of
specially tough Vanadium steel "A inches thick and
weighs six tons. 1t holds two operators, who work
under normal atmospheric conditions, receiving
oxygen from tank on top of the machine by an ar
rangement similar to that used in naval submar-
ines. The Sisson vessel could stay under water
seventy-twO hours in emergency
All the power used in operating this submarine
is electric huge insulating cable capable of
supporting ffty-six tons connects it with the
tender ship on the surface Within this cable are
wires for transmitting current to the motors in
the submarine and for telephone communication.
The submarine is fitted with two propellers and
a rudder for lateral movement, and two pro-
pellers for up and down movement. The pro-
pellers move the vessel at speed of about
two miles an hour.
very novel feature of the submarine lies in
the electric lights and lookout glasses Project
ing in front of the vessel are four huge $1,000
candle power nitrogen lamps covered with pinch
glass and steel netting. Near each lamp, fitted
in the shell of the submarine is look out lens of
clearest glass four inches thick. At the back of
the machine are equal number of lights and
lenses. 1t is calculated thatwith these the opera
tors clearly hundred feet through the
water, even when the submarine is 500 feet down.
When the general location of the ship to be
raised has been reached the submarine is let down
by the cable from the tender ship into the water
The submarine circles around until she discovers
the exact position of the wreck on the bottom
which she signals to the tender The men in the
submarine can talk by telephone to the surface
The tender then lowers steel pontoons, huge
tubes closed at both ends, which are laid along
each side of the wreck. The pontoons are sunk
by filling them with water at the surface, but
