chiefs and there is nothing in history
more pathetic than his story of the
separation when he had to go back to
England. He had apparently told
them many good things about his
people and his government. Many
were the messages of good will and
loving confidence which they sent by
him to the White Father. "Acquaint
the Great Father (King) with how
much we wish the traders be sent to

need that the hearts of our young

They were given the name of
Nadouessioux, or enemies Of the
French traders. This it is said is
due to the fact that if deceived by
French or any other trader they never
forgot and were cruel and relentless
in their fight for justice. 1t was they

other ends were spread out to a circle
of ten feet. This was neatly cover.

WAT HEN Jules Nerne's master
NM5 piece, Twenty Thousand
WV Leagues Under the Sea-"
was being produced for
moving pictures in the bahamas, with
the aid of the undersea Photographic
invention, an attempt was made to
borrow a real submarine from the
United States government. Consent
was refused. and the producers start
cd to build a submarine. The boat
was built OF sheet iron, with a length
Of over 100 feet, Il beam cf fifteen feet
and four foot draft. The shell had tC
be of sufficient strength to withstand
being submerged at depth of forty
feet.
By means of tanks the submarine
could take on water in order to set
lie down beneath the waves, while
compressed air tanks permitted of
blowing out the water ballast when
the craft was to be brought up to the
surface again.
The submarine was fitted with a tor
pedo tube capable of discharging Il
regulation torpedo. Six months time
was taken up in building this boat,
the first submarine ever made for the
movies 1t is a facsimile recreation
Of the Nautilus, which was the pre-
mier submarine boat to glide through
fiction in Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea- written and dreamed
by Jules Verne more than fifty years
ago.
The under sea boat used in the film
is pronounced the most unique ever
constructed. 1t dives and porp0ises
like one of Uncle Sans boats, peri
scope conveying to those below the Vi
sion of everything occurring upon the
surface Of the sea as the submarine
glides below the surface.
An air lock in the bottom of its hull
allows free passage to diver actors to
pass out to the floor of the ocean when
equipped with the self contained div
ing suits, which require no air hose or
life line. The construction of the sub
marine boat created an epoch making
accomplishment in moving picture pro
duction.

Naomi Childers, who plays the Amer
lean Joan of Arc in the elaborate mill
tary drama "Womanhood," is one of
the characters typifying the title. As
a self sacrificing American girl she
dresses herself in armor and aids her
brother in stimulating recruits to en-
list for an army to repel the invader.
SO for several days she stalked about
the prosaic studio ward in glitterine
steel. 1t was discovered by her di,
rector, w. P. S. Earle. that the armor
was so highly polished that it reflected
the rays of the sun, a circumstance
that made it bad for the camera, since
a powerful reelection is bad for the
film. 1t was necessary for him to
indicate to her certain scenes in which
the armor was to be busted with chalk
to "kill' the reflection, and this is
what he is doing in the picture here
shown.
