by Robert Bell, in Philadelphi., in
1878, and is considered to be an i'm

not lost courage, for In his poem
written five years before the close of

JULES VERNE

Recent marriage in Paris of a niece of Jules Verne, the
great French imaginative writer, started us thinking about
his fantastic scientific novels. Especially "Twenty Thousand
Leagues Undes the Sea-"
People frequently marvel that Verne, born in 1879, was
able to picture the perfected submarine boat of modern times.
AS a matter of fact, there were submarine boats long be-
fore Jules Verne was born. In the Revolutionary war some
clever Yankees built q submarine operated by oars that
worked in waterproof sockets. AT the front was a window.
Hanging near it, outside, was an explosive mine.
The Yankees managed to get this submarine out near a
British frigate. One of the crew, inside, with his arms thrust
out through two ~closeftting openings in the front of the
boat, tried to screw the mine to the side of the frigate. The
mine got loose, rose to the surface and exploded, soaring the
frigate crew half to death.
Those early submarines, of course, were very crude. But
the idea was there, and all Jules Verne had to do was imagine
the idea is perfected form. Admittedly, that was a tremen-
dous and admirable feat of the imagination. But it wasn't
as if Verne had nothing except thin air to draw from.
When he pictured, in fiction, the perfected submarine, peo-
pie laughed at him-just as they laugh today at Missionaries
the airplane. ~

NImbOrfant Historical Event.

Apparently the only notice Perth Amboy is going to take of
ono important and interesting anniversary will be the attention
paid at the December meeting of the Perth Amboy Historical
Society to the bicentennial of the printing of New Jersey laws IN
Perth Amboy by William Bradford, the great provincial printer.
While it is to be deeply regretted that Perth Amboy missed this
opportunity to show to her sister New Jersey cities a real interest
in her fascinating history, this may, III a measure, be attoned Tor
by a large attendance upon the public meeting which the historical
society will hold Friday night in the auditorium of the public
library.
tts Bradford was the great printer of New York and Philadelphia
and in 1923 he was engaged to come 30 New Jersey to print the
proceedings of a session of the provincial legislature. He tenn
sporarily set up his plant in Perth Amboy. This product of his press
bears the imprint, Printed by William Bradford in the City of
Perth Amboy 1928" The average city of the middle west given
this important occurrence would probably hold a weeks celebra-
ton about it and there are places in New Jersey which would not
need a better excuse for pageants, oratiops and medals to COM
memorate such an important event in local history.
1.-THE subject of a celebration was brought up months ago and 1T
was announced that a committee would be named, but nothing
more came Of it. The same lack of interest which allowed Perth
Anboy's pre-RevolutiOnary barracks to be torn down, while Ire l.
n zen made Of hers a shrine almost national in its Importance, has
made it necessary to call attention to the historical society3s meet
lest the anniversary pass altogether unnotced.

Catarrhal Conditions

If catarrh could be banished from
the catalog of human ills, probably
more people would rejoice over IL
than over any other one cause.
While 1t may be called a seasonal
attack in many cases, in others II
seems to be almost perennial.
The lungs are composed of an i'm
mense number of alveoli (air cells),
which connect with the outer air by
lean of, or through, the bronchial
tubes. These tubes begin micro
scopic in size, uniting with others
and increasing in size until they
enter the trachea (windpipe). Al
this point, the bronchus (air tube
for each lung) begins.
These little alveoli (air cells), all
the bronchial tubes, and the wind
pipe, throat, mouth and nose, are
lined with a mucous membrane
There Is q direct connection through
all these different parts of your
breathing apparatus. If one part Is
affected the others share In the con.
dition. So you may see how i'm
portant It is to keep your air intake
in a good, healthy condition.
Catarrh is usually called any in.
