TRAPPING A SUBMARINE.
The Wire Rope Net That Catches and
Dooms the Vessel

A submarine net is made of wire
rope about as thick as a lead pencil,
and the mesheS are of great size
about ten or fifteen feet square. The
net has floats on top that keep bob
bling up and down like the float on a
fishline, and on the bottom are weights
that keep the whole thing I'm q perpen-
dicular position.
The submarine cannot submerge tc
very great depths on account of the
pressure, 200 feet being about the linn
iting depth. 1t sails innocently along,
therefore, until it pushes its nose into
these meshes. The net now trails
along ON both sides of the submarine,
its progress revealing the fact that
something below is supplying the mo-
tive power.
Perhaps the net suddenly stops
That means that the hidden submarine

and its crew are made prisoners.
If it does not take such action one
Of two things will happen. The enemy
will wait upon the surface until the
submersible comes up, or If 1t starts
moving the enemy will follow until

the surface commander gets impatient.
In such q case he can let a bomb
down into the water, which will ex-
plode when 1t touches the roof Of the
submarine. or course the submerged
submarine knows that this bomb is
likely to drop at any minute. The
psychology of such situation tends
to persuade the imprisoned crew to
surrender.-World's Work.

BEGIN SAVING EARLY.
Then You Can Pay Your Own Annuity
When You Are Old.

Then You Can Pay Your Own Annuity
When You Are Old.
AN agent Of one Of the big insurance
companies sends me this about annui-
ties:
"A man aged forty can deposit with
us $5,925.50 and receive $3.50 annually
for his lifetime. A woman aged sixty
five on deposit Of $4,000 can receive
$500 year.
The mans expectation of life is
twenty-eight years, the woman's at
least eleven"
Now, $3.50 is 90 per cent Of So ,925.5O,
and 5000 is 10 per cent of $4,000. Any
company which could make as much
as per cent could pay $3.50 year in
definitely, and when the annuity re-
ceiver died his original deposit would
be intact. The company assumes that
not more than per cent can be made
on money deposited with it. That ex-
plains why only so per cent is paid
annually.
In theory part of the original deposit
Is taken annually to supplement inter-
est earnings. If the annuitant lives
his expected term of life the principal
and interest at per cent will have
been paid to him.
Over long period Of years it is diff
fcult to keep money safely employed
and earning over 3 per cent.
In times like these 1t Is hard to pic
ture the years when capital is a drug
on every market and millions are seek
ing investment In sound bonds at 4
per cent and under. Yet those years
will come.
Every one his own annuity payer
that would be the ideal condition. Be
gin to save and invest early in your
earning life, and when the time ar
rives to withdraw from thesbattle you
will have both the resources and suff1-
cient knowledge Of how to invest them
to make it unnecessary to accept the
insurance company's offer.-John Nj.

POULTRY
AND EGGS
HENS DURING MoLT.

Give Better Results on Full Feed Than
When Rations Are Scanty.
AS the melting period approaches
some poultrymen reduce sharply the
feed allowance, which practice is in
tended to hasten melting and to cause
the hens to lay earlier than usual in
the fall, says the Iowa Homestead.
Then when melting is finished they
feed literally again to stimulate egg
production. That such practice short
ems the time when hens look shabby
and bare may be determined by obser-
walton, but it has not been shown that
egg production is thereby increased.
To furnish reliable information on
this point the Pennsylvania experiment
station selected two pens of White
Leghorns containing eighteen hens
each and fed one pen literally and the
other scantily during the last half of
August when melting was in progress
After that time both pens received full
feed.
Records of egg production were accu-
rately kept during September, October
and November, and the figures show
that the eighteen hens scantily fed dur
ing the last part of August produced
1870 eggs in September, 126 in October
and thirty -nine in November as com
pared with 1S5 eggs in September, nine
ty-1ve In October and thirty-six In No
vember produced by the eighteen hens
literally fed.
From these figures we find that fore
ed melting produced by limited feed
apparently gave an increase In egg pro-
duction during the last two months,
but In the totals for the three months
the pen that was scantily fed fell be-
hind, producing only 296 eggs, while
the literally fed pen produced 316
Such evidence leads to the conclusion
that forced melting has no economic
advantage.
In further support of this conclusion
it has been observed that careful, regu-
lar feeding in late summer and early
fall encourages laying, because the
hens are kept up to normal weight dur
ing the melting period and do not have
to recover any lost flesh before COM

mencing to lay again. Limited feeding
shuts off the egg yield at this time of
year as well as any other The best
practice consists in keeping the hens
laying as late as they will in the sum-
mer. Late melting progresses rapidly
when once it starts and laying follows
without delay.
To those who want well appearing
flock, the suggestion may be given that
feeds high in oil and protein, such, for
instance, as sunfower seed, If furnish
ed at melting time, give a glossy luster
and attractiveness to the new feathers.
Such feeds also keep the birds thrifty.
The exact time of melting varies con-
siderably with different hens, but usual
~ 1t is just before cool weather begins.
Those that mott earlier, In July or
early August, are not the best layers,
as q rule. In fact, some poultrymen
