'WHEN THEY MINED THE NILI "Prlmlti\ie Weapon of Destructlo ] Might Have Been a Great Suc- { cess but for One Reason.

g At a time when submarine minesg ust be much in Mr. Winston Churchg E’a thoughts one wonders whether hd ever recalls his early experiences of &as destructive agents in the Sw campaign of 1898. As the Brit ‘4sh troops approached Omdurman the Ehaum Abdullah conceived the idea of upsetting the British gunboat ex dition by mining the Nile. A formei E:ﬁ‘oer of the Hgyptian army whom hq long held prisoner was ordered gby the khalifa to construct a couple of mines, which were produced forth with. They were primitive in form, iconsisting, in fact, of two old ifron boilers stuffed with gunpowder, in which was concealed a pistol with 9 Ltring attached to the trigger whereby the charge could be exploded. The first mine was laid by the Ismailia, morked by a native crew, and demonj trated its efficiency by exploding on Ehe instant, sinking the Ismailia anq pdlling the crew, including the mine constructor, : : . The khalifa was delighted, -not at the accident, but at the testimony to the power of the invention, and im; ';mediately ordered the emir in charge of his arsenal to lay the second mine. ﬁ‘he emir, profiting by experience, in 4 Sured his safety by putting the Nile to the boiler before he put the boiler to the Nile. He then carried out the immersion successfully, to the joy of ﬁ::dulla.h, who loaded him with “pres; : ts and praises.”—Manchester Guards an.

HOW A COMET CAME BACK Q'Roturnlng Astral Visitor Expected to - Be Visible to the Naked Eye About : 1 Christmas Time. }

; It is with a sense of relief that asy tronomers have heard of the safe return of Encke’s comet, which has Just been located in the constellation of ferseus by a Russian astronomer in the Crimea. This comet was due to Pppear on one of its periodical visits -garly in 1908, but to the bewilderment, of the astronomié¢al world two comets turned up in the predicted place within a few weeks of each other, A i)subsequent mathematical investigation identified the second of these two as the genuine Encke, but the suggestion was put forth that the other comet was, perhaps, a bit of the Encke comet, which had been broken off as, the result of a collision with some ungeen body. As this particular comet is not built Evn massive lines it was feared that it would not survive another celestial icollision. Happily, it etill survives to give astronomers another chance of gsolvlng the mystery of its steady approach to the sun, a dangerous habit which no other member of the solar system has yet copled. If all goes well the comet should be visible to the naked eye about Christmas.—Pall Mall | Gazette. !

A Boston Institution.

; Franklin Square house faces the jbeautiful Franklin square, with its ;trees and flowers, and also on WashAngton street, but on the top of the fzew addition is provided a roof gar:den, where the advantages of open air ffor the social festivities and even for sleeping purposes can be obtained. There is nothing in the way of modern iconveniences that is not provided, for the basic idea in Franklin square is ko provide everything that preserves the health and insures to the happiness of its guests. ' The Cruft Hospital is well said to be 8 little world of its own. Every guest of the house is cared for as tenderly and devotedly as though at home. In fact, the board provided for medical attention, but the hospital records are ;nost ‘encouraging’as to the health and vigor of the Franklin Square house g:ls.—“The Famous Franklin Square House,” by Mitchell Mannering, in National Magazine,

Can the Wizard Do It?

. “Fish can breathe or extract oxygen from the water. Why should not men in submarines be able to do the same thing and thus make it possible to stay under the surface for weeks?” Thomas A. Edison asked the question on the occasion of his-first visit on @ battleship and in a submarine a few ;days ago, and answers it nonchalantly with: “It can be done in half an hour’s work.,” : ; This is rather important if true, to ibe able to equip these underwater craft with fish gills, as it were, and “the wizard” usually does what he' says he can do. Such an equipment; must vastly increase the efficiency of! the submarine as an arm of the navy, and it is already a question whether it is not destined to displace the dread‘l'naught. A :

iUnited States’ Store of Gold Treasure. - Although the United States has already a greater store of gold than any other nation, the supply is now in‘creasing at a rate which will probably .double its treasure in a decade. An; :estimate, which of course is fheoretiical, places the value of the gold thiy ‘country will possess at the close of the: century at aproximately $10,000,000,000. That in keeping at the present time 1s divided among mints and treasuries in various states, of which the Denver mint held $510,000,000 on the first day of this year. The mint at Philadelphia, which has the second largest store, usually has 600 or more. tons of gold in safe-keeping.—Popular ‘Mechanics. .

|CULTURE AND THE EUROPEAN

' In England, where “culture” is takffn very frivolously, the bated breath ©f the American, when he speaks of {Bhak'espeare or Tennyson or Browniing, Is always cause for amusement, iwrites Randolph 8. Bourne in the At. lantic Magazine. And the Frenchman lts always a little puzzled at the crowds *who attend lectures in Paris on “How o Bee Europe Intelligently,” or are .taken in vast parties through the ! The European objgcts a little to ibeing 80 constantly regarded as the jkeeper of a huge museum. If you :speak to him of culture, you find him {trankly more interested in contempotraneous literature and art and musio ithan in his worthies of the olden time, more interested in discriminat: {ing the Bood of today than in accept: {ing the classics. If he 18 a cultivated, iperson, he is much more interested, ‘usually in quarreling about a liv4 ing dog than in reverencing a deaq ‘lon. : - It he is a French lettre, for in;stance, he will be producing a book on ithe psychology of some living writer, 'while the Anglo-Saxon will be writing another book on Shakespeare. His iwhole attitude toward the things of “culture,” be it noted, is one of the .daily appreciation and- intimacy, and not that attitude of reverence with 'which we Americans approach alien ;art, and which penalizes cultura.l{ <heresy among us: ; :
