When Alfred was fighting them by
himself. he was not so successful at
first and was obliged to hide among
the farmer people of Somersetshire.
They did not know who he was. He
lived with very humble family. One
day the good wife set him TO mind the
bannocks or cakes, while she went
out to attend to other duties. The
poor young king fell to thinking upon
his troubles and to wondering what
had happened to his faithful follow
ers. The cakes burned. When the
woman came back she scolded him
soundly. Some even say she boxed
his ears" The place was afterwards
known as Bannockburn.
When it came spring Alfred got his
forces together and defeated the
enemy. In place of killing them off
or keeping them prisoners, he pro-
posed terms of peace on condition
that they went to the eastern part of
England and lived there quietly and
that their leader Guthrum should be
come a Christian. Thus Alfred be
came in reality what others before
him had merely claimed to be-the
king of the whole of England.
Alfred now built stout war vessels
to protect the shores of his island. He
personally heard cases in dispute and
established Trial by jury"-that is
accused people were TO be judged by

Il should say so! Whose boat was

THAT of Simon Lakes, an Ameri-

1906 he built the 'Argonaut,' which
was the first submarine to navigate in
the open sea"
why do people want submarines,
anyway" Jamie asked. Il think they
are kind of sneaky things, don't you?"
Yes. 1 do. You know they carry
torpedoes with them, that they shoot

water TO tes- guilt or innocence.
He built roads. churches and
schools and encouraged the people to
be honest and industrious. 1t was
said that gold and jewels might hang
in the streets without being touched.
He prepared code of laws. which be-
gan with the Ten Commandment and
ended with the Golden Rule.
To do all this you may believe he
had to be very busy, and yet there
were no clocks by which he could d.
vide his time. Alfred was not hin
dered by that. He had candles made
of a certain size and the burning down
of the candle to n marked notch in
dictated a certain period. He could
tell by looking at the candle how
much of the day was spent.
When the wind blew into the palace
doors and windows and through the
cracks and chinks in the walls, 10
would make the candles burn and
! sputter unevenly. To prevent this he
| did just what you or 1 would have
| done. He put them into little boxes
OF wood or bone or horn. To carry
them about a handle or ring was put
in the top. This was how the first
lantern came to be made.
His people loved him so much that
/ they called him alfred the Great"
and we still know him by that name.
for he was just the sort of a boy and
man every one admires. He summed
his life up in these words. when he
came TO be an old man; so long as I
have lived I have strlven to live

replied. wv hen the boat is down I'M

~ nee upon a time, in the long,
long ago. a king and queen were
W delighted ta-welCome a son and
heir to the palace. They named
him Alfred and he was such a like
a ole little chap that he soon became
the favorite of the family. Although
he was a prince, his fathers home
lacked many of the conveniences we
know nowadays. Rushes covered the
floors in place of carpets and candles
lighted 1t by night.
Twice during his childhood he was
taken on journeys to Rome and once
he made visit to Paris. You see he
lived in England. There were no
schools in those days and so he was
not taught to read. When he was
twelve years old his mother showed
him and his three brothers a beautiful
book Of hand illuminated Saxon poe
try. The young princes admired it so
much that the queen said she would
give it to the first one who would
learn to read it. Alfred won the
prize.
When he was twenty-three years old
he came 20 the throne. That was
1,O44 years ago. His kingdom was a
part of what is now known as Eng
land The Danes were an exceedingly
fierce and war-like people and they
had fought with his family before.
They now seized the opportunity to
attack the young monarch. once he
and his brother Ethelred had succeed
ed in defeating them. After the vic
tory, a huge figure Of a white horse
was carved into a nearby cliff. It may

at certain angle, and she goes down
or up as the crew wants her to. Sub
marines are now built a little lighter
than their displacements Of water
they have what is called buoyancy.
Now suppose she wants 10 go down.
Her engines are pushing her forward,
and the forward ends of the hydro
planes are turned downward, and
down she goes,"
Huh! What makes her?" Jamie
wondered.
The resistance of the water" his
father said. Did you ever run your
hand through the water from the side
Of a skin?"
Yes, and it felt like the water was
trying 10 push my hand out"
That was the resistance of the wa
ter. And it tries TO push the hydro
planes out, too, as you call it, and the
engines of the submarine are pushing
the boat forward at the same time,

a house. And there are places for the
crew to sleep and eat, too"
Jamie looked at one of the pictures
he had cut out of Magazine, and
asked, why are submarines kind of
curved?"
We'll, the farther down in the wa.
ter they go. the harder the water
presses on their sides, and if they
were not built very strong they would
smash in like an egg shell. A curved
surface withstands this pressure of
the water better than any other
shape"
Il wonder who ever thought of sub
marines frst?" Jamie said. And how
long have people been using them ?"
For only about twenty-five years
submarines have been. successful, al
though for three hundred years in
ventors have been working on them.
There was one built during the Revo-
lutionary war by a DR.. Bushnell from
Connecticut, called The American
Turtle that he expected to blow up
the British fleet with But in some
way the torpedo got loose from the
British ship it was attached to- and
fioated away, and exploded in the New
York harbor, soaring the shippers al
most to death. But our goyernm ent
wouldn't have much to do with Dr..
BushneI's invention. Then Robert
Fulton made a submarine that inter
ested Napoleon, emperor of France
in about 1900. England bought Full
toms invention. During the Civil War
the Confederates used submarines,
and blew up a ship in the Charleston
harbor in 1864. From that time on,
many men have been working on sub
marines. but il was not HntiI 1925 that
