SINKING A SUDoMARINE.
How the U-29 and Its Daring Grow
Were Sent to the Bottom.

How the U-29 and Its Daring Grow
Were Sent to the Bottom.
Won Weddigen, the hero of the Ger
man submarine service. after sinking
the British cruisers Aboukir. Hogue
and Greasy was promoted to a better
ship and took command of the U-29,
in comparison with the 10 a biggish
brute, a regular peach" almost an un-
dersea liner.
After hard day on the job, looking
for game in the upper North sea, the
U-29 went Ito Sleep" resting with
slight negative buoyancy on a shelving
sand bank. Outside of the watch officer
and the regular standing watch. all
hands must have turned in, sleeping in
their leather suits. 1t is supposed that,
as the watch at the telephones heard
the nearing propeller beats of Brit
ish destroyer screen, the alarm was
sounded-"Tauch station!'-With every
man flying to his post.
One might imagine that Won Weddi-
gen waited; that the microphones vi
brated the slow chugs of big ship pro-
pellers, which told him that the Brit
ish feet was approaching. Blowing
his adjusting tank to a submerged
trim, he came to fighting position. His
periscope tipped the surface.
He was lucky enough to come be-
tween the two columns of the British
grand fleet, steaming in line of squad
rons, with the Iron Duke leading the
right column, flying Jellicoe's flag. The
periscope Of the U-29 showed up half
way between the squadrons, six cables
apart. She got off her torpedo, which
passed under the Iron Duke. Immedi-
ately she fired No. 2, which also miss
ed, going astern. Because of danger of
smashing their own ships none of the
British gun crews dared to fire at the
German submarine
But after the second torpedo some
thing went wrong with the U-29. Eli
Their the valves failed to work, which,
by taking water into compromising
tanks, were to equalize the weight of
the discharged torpedOes, or at the in
slant the diving rudder man failed in
giving enough ''down rudder." At any
rate, the nose of the submarine shot
up above the water.
She started Immediately to begin to
dive, but the dreadnaught, third in
the left column, swung out of line and
went full speed for the q boat. The
big ship caught her on the ram, spear
ing her like a whale, and raised her
along the cutwater until the subma-
rine was half out Of water-a flash,
a grinding smash, the U-29 balancing
first one way, then the other, and final
~ dropping, the lettered bow foremost!
The dreadnaught swung back into col
umn. Without a signal being made.
without a shot fired, the grand feet
proceeded.
This is the true story Of how Won
Weddigen persisted. 1t came from a

WEDDING RINGS.
Their Descent From the Ancient Sig.
net Rings of Egypt.

Their Descent From the Ancient sia.
net Rings of Egypt.
It was under the shadow of the pyra-
mids that brides first wore rings as
symbols of wedlock.
In the early Egyptian home it was
the custom Of the wife to keep all Of
her jars, closets and storerooms sealed.
A different seal ordinarily was used
for every door or jars containing GER
tain foods. Preserved sweets, for in
stance, would be sealed with one de-
vice and some sharp appetizer with
another. So the course of time brought
the Egyptian woman goodly number
Of seals, the special mark Of her wife
hood.
Then it became a custom for the
bridegroom on his wedding day to
present the future homemaker with a
little string Of seals. In the beginning
they usually were suspended from an
ornamental chain about her neck, but
afterward it became the custom to car
~ the keys on an ornamental cord
around the wrist. And finally the keys
were attached to woman's finger by
means Of cord or gold wire. This
naturally meant reduction in the num-
Der Of seals, and some genius of the
days Of old hit upon the idea of COM
bining the seal and the wire together,
from which we get the signet ring
Such ring was regularly presented to
the bride on her wedding day.
Things had reached this state Of
progress when keys seem to have been
first used in Egypt to any great extent.
The coming Of locks did away with the
wifely seals and her peculiar mark of
sovereignty in the home. By degrees
the signet ring went out of fashion as
the special prerogative of the bride
and was succeeded by plain band
ring such as every young lady of today
expects to wear. Numbers Of these
plain and signet rings have been found
in the old tombs of northern Africa
mute evidence Of loves long since dead
and gone.

FIRST AMERICAN TRAITOR.
Benjamin Church Played That Role
During the Revolution.

SSnJamln Cnurcn Hiayeo mat noIo
During the Revolution.
Benjamin Church, graduate of Har-
ward and a member of a distinguished
New England family, was the first
American traitor. Church became en-
inent as a surgeon and as writer of
verse and was one Of the leading
Wings in the years just preceding the
Revolution. At one time he was
member of the Massachusetts provin-
cial congress and became a member of
the famous Boston committee of
safety.
The committees plans were consis-
tently revealed to General Gage, gov
ernor of the province, but the source
Of the leak was not discovered until
after the Revolution was fairly under
way. At the time of the actual break
between the colonies and England
Church was assigned to an important
colonial hospital. In September, 1775,
q letter from Church to British army
officer, containing secrets of the colo
mist army, was intercepted Church
had intrusted the letter, 4 ltten in
code, to a woman, to be q eyed to
one of General Cages staff officers.
The woman confessed her share in the
reasonable move and implicated
Church,
The traitor was taken before a coun-
ell presided over by Washington, and
he there practically admitted his guilt.
Congress, acting on the suggestion Of
the trial council, ordered Church kept
in close confinement in the Cambridge
jail, without the use Of pen or paper,
and that no person be allowed to con-
verse with him except in the presence
and hearing of colonial officers until
further orders from this or future
congress-
Church's< health failed rapidly, and
he was permitted to undergo Danish
ment to the West Indies. He sailed in
a merchant vessel in May, 1776, and
neither the ship nor Church ever was
heard of again.-Kansas City Star.

HARD WORK FOR CUPID.
Roumanian Farmers Try to Keep Their
Sons From WedIock.

Roumanian Farmers Try to Keep Their
Sons From WedIoek.
The Roumanian farmer doesn't think
much of matrimony. A bachelor hasn't
missed much, in his opinion. And
when his son gets the marrying bee
buzzing in his bosom the Roumania
dad is apt to take a hickory club and
beat it out of the young mans system.
That's why the Roumanian youth
when he is in love never confdes the
hapnv secret to his father. He goes
and tslls has mother, fer wsHea stfn
believe in love and marriage, although
they lead from the altar to the wash
tub. But the father has faced the mule
heels and the pillow handles so long in
his hard struggle to feed the hungry
mouths opened to him by marriage
that he has forgotten he was once a
lover signing lovers tales. He is about
as much in favor Of state wide matri-
mony as a sick boy is in favor of cas-
tor oil.
So the son tells his mother. The
mother feeds father the best dinner
she can cook, and when the old man
is in a mellow mood she breaks the
sad news about their boy. If she is
skillful enough she wins his grouchy
consent, and he calls in his two best
men friends. These two go with his
son to the girls home. Perhaps she
has heard nothing of the love affair,
but when she sees them coming she
guesses what's up. Her father enter
tains the visitors, and if he let's the
fire go out it means he has taken this
method to turn them down cold.
Roumanian wives all have silk dresses
or silk shawls. Their husbands do not
buy the silk for them; the women raise

Automobile Radiators.

To assure the efficient operation and
long life of your automobile it is es-
sential that the radiator be kept clean.
Every radiator has been designed for
the purpose of dissipating some of the
heat from the engine to prevent it from
Overheating. The radiator can only
accomplish this, advises the Popular
Science Monthly, when the radiator
cells are cleared of mud, so that the
comparatively cool air can circulate
through. it. Yet many are the cars
which are allowed to clog up with mud
and dirt until it almost takes a ham,
mer to knock them out. A good antidOte
is powerful stream Of water from a
hose, or where this may not be con-
venient a stiff brush or broom will
assist in solving the cleaning problem.

PACKING GOLD IN KEGS.
Care Taken In Preparing the Money
Metal For Shipment.

Metal For Shipment.
When a gold shipment is to be made
by ship the necessary number of kegs
are taken in a truck to the assay Office,
where they are received at door in
the rear The gold bars are then
placed on a hand truck and rolled to
the kegs. In the presence of the agents
of the shippers and Of the officials Of
the assay Office the bars are packed in
the kegs, and sawdust is placed around
them to prevent abrasion. "hen the
heads of the kegs have Ii placed
over the packed bars a pie Of red
tape is stretched across and fastened
between the chine and the edge Of the
head. The seal of the shipping house
is then attached to the head and the
bottom Of each keg.
After sealing the kegs are rolled to
the wagon and lifted on. 1t takes two
men to handle each key, as there are
ten bars to key, with a total gold
weight of about 100 pounds. 1t may
be mentioned that 100000 weighs in
gold about $50 pounds, and $1,0OO,OO0
WClSuS pOulluS. CoLuC t1AuC dSo
one of the officials of an assay Office
compiled figures showing how much
gold a man could actually handle. 1t
is singular thing that great difficulty
is experienced in carrying gold for any
distance. The weight seems to be
more dead than that of other metals
although that may be an illusion.
For instance, the average man could
carry 100 pounds OF. gold one mile with
out much discomfort. Its value would
be about $4,000. A strong man could
carry, say, $50 pounds mile, reaching
the end of mis- journey with just under
$4,000. A very powerful man might
carry 200 pounds, or nearly $4,000, a
mile without exhaustion. Carrying
gold is almost as difficult as getting it.

LOW BLOOD PRESSURE.
First Aid to Those Suffering FROM
Hemorrhaqe or Shock.

First Aid to Those Suffering FROM
Hemorrhags or Shock.
One hears great deal about the
danger of high blood pressure, but not
much about the danger Of too low q
pressure. Yet the latter may be very
swiftly fatal 1t results often from
shock, as well as from severe loss OF
blood. But there is very simple
means of giving temporary relief.
which every one should know, since
such knowledge might often be the
means of saving life.
A diastoic pressure of fifty millime-
tiers is critical, for the blood tends to
accumulate in the abdomen, but death
may be avoided if immediate means be
taken to raise the arterial pressure. A
late number Of La Revue gives the
following directions:
"The wounded person in whom ar
terial pressure is low should be placed
Immediately on an operating table
heated by electricity, with his feet ele-
waited for an hour or more some thirty
mi1limeters about one and one-quarter
inches) higher than his head. If the
diastolic pressure remains below eighty
millimeters an injection of isoton1c
serum should be made and if necessary
repeated If the pressure does not re-
main sufficiently high after the second
injection another injection is made OF
adrenalin into vein, preferably q
vein near the heel
1t will be noted that the first part Of
these directions can be carried out by
any one-namely, the application Of
warmth and the raising of the patients
heels higher than his head. This is SO
important and so efficacious that the
famous French physician and research
scientist, DR.. Charles Richet, has made
it practice in his lectures to students
to give them the striking object lesson
of dog which had been bled almost
to the point Of exhaustion, so that
death was imminent, being instantly
revived by this simple expedient Of
changing it's position. When he was
apparently dead while the head re-
NAMED higher than the extremities, as
soon as the head was lowered the wan
ing life returned.
First aid to the injured, therefore,
suffering from hemorrhage or shock u.s.
to place the victim on mattress or
bench and raise the feet slightly high
err than the head.-Review of Reviews.
