SUBMARINE NAVIGATION.

Ylrst Attempts at It—Day and BushneU’s Boats. At the famous siege of Syracuse (212 B. C.) trained divers were employed on work uuder water, but their work was unsatisfactory, since they conldstay under Water but a few moments at a time. From that time until about two hundred years ago there wrb little or no pro.ress made in submarine woik, bnt wit Lin the last two centuries efforts have been in progress for employing submarine boats. For the most part, however, these efforts have been failures, very few even us much as partially succeeding. To do full service, the submarine boat must be constructed so as to give fresh air (520 cubic inches per minute J or each man), so as to furnish the means for freeing the air from poisonous impurities aii-iiuii from exh 'ling caroonic acid gas; also, ill© means of gi ing and gov. ruing mo.ion m the sabniaiine boat, and room for tbe woikmen wh le under water. One of the trst bo.it> constructed was by a i Englishman name i Day. in 1774. The Itoai was a tailnre, however, and Day lost hi© ife during an experimental descent iu Plymouth So ad in a essel of about fifty tons burden. He intended to make it rise after a submersion of considerable duration, but tailed 'the next year oue BnsbuelL, of Connecticut, contrived a submarine lo t to be used in warfare It was of somewhat globular i-hape. and was ptopelled by a kind of Archimedean screw. This bout was in a measure a success, but it was never put to any practical u--e. Robert Fulton, while in Pans in 1791), invented a box which, when filled with combustibles, m ght be projeltd under water, and made to extplode beneath the bottom oi a ship, so as to blow it up, but the attempt W)« an entire failure. &oa>e years efterw'ard, however, he really managed to blow up an old ship’s hull in this country. He also constructed a submarine boat lor the purpose of blowing up ships, capable of conta ndng several persons, but when tried on several of the French rivers it was only a partial sufcoess, and •very unsatisfactory. Some of the suggestions about submarine ships or boats are to the effect ■that a boat ought to carry store-vessels containing oxygen to replenish the air, tbe carbonic acid being -absorbed.either byoream of lime <or a strong solution of ammonia. In 1859 much attentiou was attracted >to a boat designed in Chicago. Aooording to the (patent, tbe vessel was ■egg-shaped in transverse seotion. and diminished nearly to a point ateach end. The rudder was >at the end of a hollow shaft, which Ulso contained (the axis -of the sorew propeller. The boat was completely dosed in -on all sides, except for certain pipe openings. There were two iron tanks in the interior; one had air forced into it by an air pump; the second contained water, nnd was furnished with a pipe and stop-cock communicating with the first. Ihe engineer of the boa!, by pumping water into .or out of the second, through the action of the air in the first, could raise or lower the boat as he willed. The boat was furnished with a steamengine to provide propelling power. The embarrassments to its use, nowever. were too many and difficult to establish its permanent success. Some years alter a boat called the Intelligent Wh»le was exhibited at Brooklyn, N. Y. It was of an extended eagshape, and provided with mauv oriainal and needful contrivances. It was thought when the boat was first exhibited that tbe problem of submarine navigation was solved, but after a few trials it was found to be too cumbersome for convenient use. —New York Ledger. ‘HA'IjIVS-CATARRH COKE is a liquid and is -taken-internally, and acts directly on th? blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

One Boy’s Record of Accidents.

The marvelous capacity of the small boy for breaking himself up is amusingly illustrated in tbe case of Alexander Chambers, son of T. W. Chambers, of Brooklyn, whose twelve years of life have been made exhilarating by the following disastrous incidents: Broke his nose falling off a plank, seven feet, on the flagging of an alleyway. Sprained one of his anus. Fell on the sidewalk and broke his nose; second calamity of the kind. Ban over by a truck; left thigh broken. Fell between the wheel and body of a truck, lacerating left leg and crashing ankle bone, caus ng nn aoscess to form. Shot in the foot by a playmate, who had snapped a pistol at him sixteen times, and had at last succeeded, on saviug, “Here she goes. Ally." Broke a finger whil* at play. Cut his head by getting knocked down in :i skirmish. Left arm badly braised by a similar difficulty. Long gash in the skull, acquired by beiag tripped up and whacked on the head by another boy. This is the record to d ite, but Alexander hopes to lengthen it as he grows older.

Impending Trouble.

“T-s thei - © a surgeon aboard?" hastily •asked the excited passenger on a Third avenue car, as he rose up and looked anxiously around. “I am a surgeon,” answered a man near the door. “Thanks,” rejoined the excited passenger. “Don’t get off for a few moments, please. I see a fellow up there at the next crossing that always grabs my arm above the elbow with his left hand, while he gives me the pump-handle shake with the other hand. I was vaccinated a week ago, lost $lO on a base-ball mathh yesterday, and my wife is cleaning house. If that man gets on this car there’ll be bloodshed!”

Protect the System from Malaria.

It is possible to do this even in regions of country where miasma is most rife, aud where tho periodic fevers which it causes assume their most formidable types. The immense popularity of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is vory largely attributable to the fact of its efficacy as a remedy for chills and fever, bilious remittents, and as a preventive of the various forms of malarial disease. In those portions of the West and South where complaints of this nature prevail, and in the tropics, it is particularly esteemed for the protective influence which it exerts, and it has been vory widely adopted as a substitute for the dangerous aud comparatively ineffective alkaloid, sulphate of quinine. Fhysiciaub have not been among the last to conceuo its merits, and the emphatic professional indorsements which ic has received nave added io too reputation it has obtained at noiue and abroad.

The Lady Next Door.

'Mrs. W. envied the lady next door be■cause she always seemed so well and happy. “She enjoys life and I don’t,” said the discontented woman. “How I would like to change places with her!” At last she made the acquaintance of the object of her envy, and this is what the lady told her: “Happv? Of course I am, tor I enjoy perfect health. My dear Mrs. W.. your face tells me why you. are not happy. You aro suffering from, functional derangements. I was a martyr to female weaknesses for years, but lir.

Some interesting experiments have been made in the vicinity of Copenhagen with tree-feding for .military purposes by dynamite. The object was to I ascertain the saving in time find labor effected by this method and the results were exceedingly satisfactory. Tree! of somuehas three feet in diameter were brought down in some twenty or twentyfive minutes, whereas the time occupied by ordinary felling would probably have been ten times greater. The gold mining craze in Maine continues unabated, according to this dispatch from Augustu “Gum Corner, in the town of Byron, is the center of operations, and miners are flocking there by hundreds. The pioneer aud discoverer of the field is G. A. Norcross, of Augusta. Nearly all the land in the vicinity has been bought up by prospectors.” The great salt lake of Utah is an immense limitless magazine of salt that can be readily obtained, in any desired quantity, by the simple process of evaporal ion.

Another Sad Failure.

The other forenoon a man was leaning over the railing of the bridge at one of the piers and looking down the bay, when another man came along and accosted him with: “Excuse me, sir, but can ” “Never am without it,” interrupted the first, as he turned aud presented a ping of tobacco. “Thanks, bnt I don’t chew. I wanted to ask you ” “Yes, I’ve got a match,” he interrupted again, as he pulled oue irom his vest pocket. “I don’t want a match. I want to ask ” “Go and buy your own cigars,” growled the first as he turned away, “Man who tries to accommodate is always sure to get lelt.’’ .

The Labors of a Rapid Penman.

A rapid penman can write 30 words in a minute. To do this he must draw his fen through the space of a rod—l6J feet, n 10 minutes his pen travels a furlong, and in five and a third hoars a mile. IVe make, on an average, 16 carves, or tarns of the pen, for each word written. Writing 30 words to a minute, we mud make 8 curves each second; in an hoar, 26,80(1; in 5 hours, 134,000; and in 300 days, working only 5 hoars each day, we make not less than 40,200,000 enrves and turns of the pen. The man who makes but 1.000,000 strokes of the pen per mouth has done nothing remarkable; there are thoso who make four times that number. Here we have in the aggregate a Bark 800'miles long, to be traced on paper,by each writer in a year. In making each letter of the ordinary alphabet, we make from three to seven strokes of the pen—on an average, three and a half or four. Codfish follow the ice of an iceberg down until they reach the water under it, which place affords them an excellent feeding ground.
