You Are Greeted by a Deafening,
Ear Splitting Racket.
WORSE THAN A BOILER SHOP.
(To M.k. Yourself Hoard at All You
Mutt 8hout Into tho Ear of a Com
panion—The Economy of 8paeo and
tho Simplicity of Arrangamanta.
Cllnblng dotvu ten rungs of on
iron ladder Into the interior of a sub
marine is like going into a boiler phop
■where there Is one continuous, deafen
ing, ear splitting rneket like n dozen
trip hammers chattering a tattoo amid
a grind and rumble nnd thump of ma
chinery ns if especially designed to
burst your eardrums.
At first the noise In that narrowly
confined space Is painful nnd bewilder
ing. To make yourself at all heard
you must shout into the ear of n com
panion. So Intense is the strain, says
a writer In St. Nicholas, that you mar
vel how day In nnd day out human
cars can withstand the ordeal.
You find yourself inside what seems
an enormous steel cigar pnlnted a neat
pearl gray, a color which la serviceable
and does not dazzle the eye. Light
comes to you partly through portholes
and In part from Incandescent lamps
placed fore nnd aft In the darker parts
of the hull.
You have expected, of course, to
land In a tangle of whirling machinery
that fills the Insldo of the boat from
stem to stern, threatening with every
revolution to take nil arm or a log off
Instead the first tiling you see Is nu
uninterrupted “working space.'’ or
deck, measuring 7 by 25 or 30 feet.
At the stern, far In the background,
ore the machines nnd engines. In fact,
tills section of the vessel Is nothing hut
machinery, n rumbling mass of silvery
ateel nnd glittering brass revolving at
the rate of 500 times n minute, so com
pact that you wouder how the various
parts can turn without conflicting or
bow It Is possible for human bands to
squeeze through the maze to oil the
machinery.
But this economy of space is as noth'
Ing to what you will see. The floor
you Btnnd on Is a cover for the cell* of
the storuge batteries wherein Is pent
up the electricity with which your boat
will propel herself when she runs sub
merged. The walls amidships and the
space lu the bow are gigantic ballast
tanks to be filled with water that will
these are tool boxes and hinged bunks
for the crew to sleep in.

pounds each, are lashed end for end In
pairs at either side, and directly over
these are tool boxes nnd hinged bunks
for the crew to sleep In.
The very air which Is taken along to
keep life In you In case the boat Bhould
be detained beneath the surface longer
than usual Is compressed In n steel cyl
inder 2,000 pounds per square iuch, a
pressure so Intense that were the cyl
inder to spring a leak no larger than a
pin hole aud were the tiny stream of
escaping fllr to strike a human being It
would penetrate him through and
through und drill a hole through an
Inch thick board behind him.
And yet everything about tire Inte
rior arrangements of this boat Is so sim
ple that you can see nt a glance Its
purpose. Away forward, where the
tip of the cigar comes to a point, ure
the two torpedo tubes out of which
tho gunucr will scud his deudly pro
jectiles seething beneath the waters at
the rote of 35 knots an hour against
an unsuspecting hull.
Directly under the conning tower Is
platform, three feet square aud ele
vated three feot from the deck, upon
which the captain stands, head nnd
shoulders extending luto the tower, so
that while nt his post he is visible to
the crew only from tho wulst line
down, and nt the feet of the captain
and on a level with his platform is
stationed another of the officers, in
charge of tho wheel thut controls the
diving rudders nnd the gnuges that
register the angle of ascent nnd de
cline und show how deep the boat Is
down.
The two officers are In personal com
munication, so that In case of heart
disease or other mishap either can
Jump to tho other man's place.
A WAR TRAGEDY.
Pathotlo Incident at the 8iege of Port
Hqdeon.
At the- siege at Tort Hudson, Ln.,
there was one gun commanded by Al-
phonso Dubreull. lie was a young
sugar planter who bad opposed seces
sion, but maintained that if Louisiana
seceded he would go with bis state.
Dr. Chatrand, his neighbor, was a vio
lent secessionist, and Dubreull und the
doctor's daughter Amelia were lovers.
Louisiana seceded. Alphonso raised a
company and proved so brave a Con
federate that tho doctor, who hod op
posed his daughter’s marriage, readily
consented, and the pair were married.
Ills bride wan accorded special per
mission to go into tho bomb proofs of
the fort, whero in comparative safety
she could be near her husband. There
sbo saw him operating bis enormous
gun, but her heart was tom with fear
for his safety. Suddenly she became
excited by tho noise of firlug aud, rush
ing out from her place of safety, was
struck by n piece of shell an<f fell back
lifeless. Dubreull ran to her side, saw
death iu her face and went back brave
ly to bis gun.
The next morning wus beautiful, and
the sun nliouo gloriously. Thoro was
cessation of hostilities that the dead
might be burled. Thus engaged, a re
quest came from the enemy to allow
the body of a young lady to pass
through our lines. It was granted.
The little cortege came, preceded by a
military band playing a mournful
dirge, nnd halted nt the outpost. The
old musket box used as a bier was ac
companied by two Indies and several
officers. One of the latter, a handsome
young fellow with long balr, walked
calmly and slowly, but l^s face be
trayed the greatest grief. A detail of
Confederate privates acted ns pallbear
ers. Our men uncovered their heads.
All wero blindfolded and led through
our lines to the steamboat. Tlioy bade
a last adieu to the dead bride and re
turned blindfolded.
It was the Baddest sight I over saw.—

The Kind of Boy He Was.
That Marshall Field of Chicago knew
how to wrest victory from defeat and
make stepping stones of stumbling
blocks Is shown by the following story
told of him by a friend:
When a boy young Field went to a
great merchant and asked, “Do you
want a boy?” “Nobody wanta a boy,"
replied the merchant. "Do you need a
boy?” the boy persisted, not at all
abashed. “Nobody needs a boy,” was
the reply. But he would not give up.
'Well, say, mister, do you have to have
a boy?" "I think likely we do," re
plied the merchant, “and I rather think
we will have to have a boy Just like
you."
8ome Few Escaped.
“Ob, John," whimpered the wife ns
she seized the morning paper, “see
wlmt that editor has done with the ac
count of our mustcale! He has placed
It alongside the column of death no
tices. It's a shame. And we had such
prominent people ns guests too."
“I suppose,” said the husband wea
rily, “that the editor wishes to call at
tention to the fact that some people
are more fortunate than others."—

on ji warm day at the end - of a long
harangue by tbe prosecuting counsel
he noticed one of tho Jurymen asleep.
As soon as the argument was complet
ed the Judge addressed the Jury ln this
peculiar manner: “Gentlemen of tbe
Jury, tbe prosecuting attorney has com
pleted his argument. Wake up and lis
ten to tho Instructions of the court."—

One Was Enough.
“Dad." said tbe white faced lad,
"how many cigars does It take to hurt

“How many have you smoked?"
“One."
“That's the number," said dad, and,
taking down the strap from behind tbe
door, he soon convinced tbe boy that
he was right.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

ASLEEP UNDER WATER.
One of the Funny Incidents Possible
In a Diver's Life.
As showing how much at home a
man may be today under water I may
relute an amusing Btory. Some months
ago while a great battleship was at
Malta one of the seamen divers went
down to clear her propeller from some
flotsam that had become entangled,
and he failed to como up. It chanced
that the rest of the battleship’s divers
were ashore, and grave concern was
felt on the Ironclad for the missing
worker. Signals by telephone and life
Hue were sent below without avail. In
the launch above the throb-throb of
tho air pump’s cylinders went on, but
the attendants looked at one another
in dismay, fearing some strange trag
edy deep down in those heaving green
seas.
The worst was feared when some
big brushes and other tools .came float
ing to the surface, and thereupon the
navigating lieutenant sent ashore an
urgent message for one of the other
divers. The man came on board,
dressed immediately and went below,
only to come up full of indignation.
“Why, that fellow’s been asleep all
this time!” ho said wrathfully. It was
true. Tbe man had Ju3t had his-lunch,
aud,finding tho work much less serious
than he had thought, he finished it ln
a few minutes and then sat comfort
ably on one of tbe giant blades of tbe
battleship propeller and went to sleep
with inquisitive fishes swarming
around him, attracted by tho dazzling
searchlight on his breast. The officers
were so amused at the occurrence that
no punishment was inflicted on the
lazy one.—St Nicholas.'
No Change.
“Do you think the world is growing
worse?”
“Dunno as ’tis," responded the old
man. “They're tollin’ the very fish
stories I heard when I was a boy.”—
