The Submarine in History.

l!nss:; M!E:iG1:: Tribune
& Most OF us are prone to think of the
submarine as a modern idea which began
to take definite form in the literary hey
dey of Jules Verne a half century ago
As fact, the idea was very much alive
back in the days of TIerodotus, the Greek
historian. who lived and wrote in the
fifth century before the Christian era.
He tells of a submarine operation by
Scillias of Scion and his daughter who
diyed under the ships of Nerxes and cut
the anchor chains.
Aristotle and Pliny the Elder were
other Old timers who had somewhat to
say about what might be done under
water and how it could be done. In the
18th century Lorin, an Italian writer. de-
scribcd an alright box in which an OBJ
server descended to the depths of the sea
and studied the landscape and life found
there through transparent disks. About
the same time Marin Mersenne discussed
learnedly in Latin the possibility of sue
cessful submarine construction and opera
ton.
Further in order we have Edmund Hal
ley's Art of Living Under Water" writ
ten in 1T16 and description in the Lon
don Gentleman's Magazine IN 1747 Of a
wooden submersible boat propelled byl
oars. Charles Gl'iswold contributed to
the American Journal of Science for April.
mersible boat which was used in 1776 in
an attempt to destroy British ships in
New York harbor
In 1864 the Scientific American had an
account of an undersea torpedo boat in
vented by the chief engineer of the United
States navy. Six years later Jules Verne
came along with his stirring romantic
scientific book called Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea- Since then con-
tributfons on the general a,ibject have
been voluminous, but German authors did
not become notably busy until about IL
years ago. Prussian war lords let others do
the talking and writing. but when 1t came
to making submarines agencies OF diabol-

BOGUS Hons. in America,

" III. L. Mencken, in the New York Mail.
Whoever edits the estinlable Congress
sional Record, one finds the pages of his
Instructive gazette heavy with mention
on innumerable Hons, chiefly. believe,
bogus.
No governor OF a state, or cabinet Of
fcer, or mayor of city, or state sena-
tor, or federal district attorney, or other
politician of sound job and morals is ever
mentioned in the Record save as an Hon.
AS for the members of congress them
selves, it IS the invariable practice, going
back to Jackson's day, to call them Hons,
whenever their set speeches or extensions
of remarks" are printed, and to leave
off the handle would undoubtedly cost the
editor OF the Record his post and perhaps
send him TO the hulks.
So far as / know, there is absolutely no
warrant In law, nor even in settled and
invariable usage, for this use Of Hon. by
the laborious patriots of the two cham
bers. They ARE, indeed, no more Hons.
by statute than the members Of parlia-
nent. Even the president of the United
States Is not lawfully an Hon. but merely
.the president. and In that form he was
always referred to in the Congressional
Record and other public documents In
the first congress some members proposed
to call him the Hon. and others proposed
his excellency or his highness But the
two houses formally decided that 1t was
mot proper to annex any style or title
other than that expressed by the constf-
tution,'' and no the president lacks Hon.

Polish Crown Returned.
From the London Globe.

FROM the London Globe.
OF omens collected by Mr.. Shirley in
connection with the present war, none is
more singular than one having reference
to the emancipation of Poland. When the
Prussians took possession Of Cracow, in
1884 the Polish kingdom ceased to exist
The king of Prussia desired to possess the
traditional diadem of its kings for his
own adornment. It had. however, disap-
pearcd mysteriously and the Prussan
king was balked of his wish. In Janu-
airy, 1914 seven months before the war
broke out. severe thunderstorm broke
over Cracow. and a stately elm In field
close to the city was shattered by light
ming. Its fall brought to light secret
treasure which had lain buried at Its roots
for 12S years, the long lost crown Of Po-
land Some OF the Jewels were loose and
none was missing. 3a

CHAPTER THREE. scentinned.,

AT z O clock III the morning a
car stopped outside the house, and
one of the manservants, who must
have been waiting in the kitchen
hastened to the front door. Per-
emma switched off the light i'll the
passage, and, drawing the cur
tain slight aside, saw Nine. Eau
vile enter, followed by Sylvester.
She went up. The lights on the
staircase were put out. For half
an hour or so there was sound
overhead of voices and of chairs
moving. Then all was silence.
And, amid this silence, Perenna
felt an unspeakable anguish arise
within him. he could not tell why.
But it was so violent, the impre.
sion became so acute that he nut
tered
Il shall go and see if he's
asleep. don It expect that he has
ibolted the doors.
He had only to push both doors
TO open them; and, with his elcc-
trio lantern in his hand, he went
up to the bed.
Hippolyte Fauville was sleeping
with his face turned to the wall.
Perenna gave a smile OF relief.
He returned to the passage, and,
shaking Maseroux:
s. Your turn, Alexander.
. No news, chief
S No, none; he 3 asleep !
How do you know
81 We had a look at him. Z
ss That $ funny; never heard
you. It's true, though, I've slept
like pig.
He followed Perenna into the
study, and Pcrerna said
Sit down and don't wake him.
/ shall take 40 willlss.
He had one more tnrn at sentry
duty But, even while dozing, he
remained conscious OF al that hap
pened around him. A clock struck
the hours with a low chime; and
each time Perenna counted the
strokes Then cane the5life out
side awakening, the rattle OF the,
milk carts. the whistle Of the early
suburban trains.
People began to stir inside the.
4 house. The daylight trickled IN
through the crannies Of the shut
terS. and the room rradIallv be-
