"But the impossibility, Mastermanl
Granting the incredible supposltion
that these deep-sea organisms exist,
and could live under pressure enor-
mously increased, and breathe"
"We're supposing that, lieutenant"
How could they survive the strug-
gle for existence in an unnatural ele-
ment"
Lieutenant, man has existed since
tertiary times, but he never learned
to fly till 1908. He never went up In
balloon until hundred and fifty
years ago. Our imagnations can't
rise to the realization of what this
generation has done, but our descend
ants will look on us as demlgods, and
the Wright brothers will become
myths, like that chap that invented
cooking PrOm-PrOm-T
| 'Prometheus."
'Yes, sir. Well, then, after living
for thousands of years at the bottom
Of five miles Of air, an ocean Of oxy-
gen and nitrogen, we've found out how
to get up on top Of it. They are liv-
Ing at the bottom of an ocean Of oxy-
gen and hydrogen. Suppose they
learned to ny, too!
"You can see what they'd do. Some
of their scouts, who had gone on
ahead, would discover that the dry
land was teemlng with food. Food in
such quantities as these hungry mon
sters had never dreamed about. Food
in solid chunks, instead Of dissolved
particles Of plankton, varied with an
occasional cannlbal dinner. And light
by which to capture it-sunlightl No
more hunting down their prey with
phosphorescent torches!
"At first they'd nlbble the grass and
leaves of the trees. But they'd find
that cellulose is pretty indigestible
stuff. Then one of them would dis
cover a dead bird or rabbit, and an
other that sheep and cattle make good
eating, and then
'Then man" muttered Donald,
gripping the arms of his chair. The
madman's picture had become dread
fully real to him.
"0ther bodies would follow the
scouts, Donald. They wouldn't be
quite adapted to dry land at first.
They'd make their way along the
river beds. They'd swarm up the Hud-
| Dhtnn tha Sntrnnn hn Mic.
sissippi. That's what we did, and
even today we haven't got very far
from the river banks. Well, they'd
rest and recuperate, eating the fish
they found, until the supply became
exhausted. Then"
"Good Lord!" gasped Donald, And
then the reaction came. OF course
Masterman was ravlng mad, the mad
dest member of the March Hares
club. What a fool he had been to let
the old fellows dismal prophecies get
on his nerves!
He leaned forward and placed his
hand on Masterman's knee.
"Did you go to the navy Office with
the idea of telling that to the secre
tary?" he asked.
II did, sir" answered Masterman.
"Then, If may say so without Civ
ing offense, 1t is a mercy that yor
failed to secure an interview witt
him." said Donald. "Why, Mastermar

was feeling his way carefully now
to avoid hurting the old fellow. "Why
Masterman, if you were to make sucl
suggestion as that at the navy office
they'd shut you up as a-as not quite

The business OF caring for the

Though we have had to part with

ISOLATION in the fact that his wife is
to remain here. She Is about to re-

a year ago. Everywhere you turn you

was almost worshiped by both his
officers and men. Everybody who
knows Dan Moore 10 devoted to him,
and almost everybody in Washington

As soon as the militant suffragette
ladies evacuats Cameron House, from
which SO many pickets have sailed
forth on their way to the White

Club Will take possession. That IA
nous organization, to which most of
the distinguished scientists of this
country belong and where the dis

tries are entertained, outgrew its
original quarters, the Dolly Madison
House, famous in the annals OF Wash

VIII Spend $4,000
To Rebuild House.

To Mt 1t for club purposes they are
preparing to spend $4,000 on It i'm
mediately-partly on renovation but
mostly on fumigation. to get rid Of
that OccOQuan odor, as one distin-
guished member would have It. UIti-
mately they propose to pull II down
and build a second annex in the same
general style as the first. Which
seems rather a pity. as 1t is a wonder
full old house and rich in historic
association. having been the homo OF
long line of distinguished tenants,
among them Senator Mark Hanna. An
even greater pity is the clubs ulti-
mate intention OF abandoning their
down the Dolly Madison house itself.
1t probably isn't suited to modern re-
quirements, but 1t is one OF those
landmarks one hates to see go.
Rumor has It that Uncle Sam had
his eye on the Cosmos Club or its
next door neighbor, Cameron House,
and that there was grave danger of
the clubs property being comman-
deered Just as So many down town
buildings have been commandeered
for Government purposes. The club
was exempted" on the plea that. hav-
ing tremendously extended Its hither-
to almost negligible associate mem
bership for the beneht OF the dis
tinguished foreigners-and distin-
guished Americans from other cities,
for the matter Of that-who are here
on war business Of one sort or an
other, 1t is already working for
Uncle Sam" And you have only to
see the number Of strangers who drift
in there at lunch time or in the lone
ly hour before dinner to realize that
this exclusive and dignified organiza-
tion is filling a great need.
