Syracuse Journal SYRACUSE. - - IND TEA AS JAPANESE MAKE IT Secret of Perfection Lies in the Proper Fusion of Black and Green Varieties. Many American women wonder why it is that the Japanese women make «uch good tea, and the mannler In which they go about the operation, the Boston Herald says. When the Japanese woman makes tea the foreign ipectator is impressed, not only with •he extreme sensitiveness of her hands, but also with the evident delicacy of ler senses of sight and smell. The secret of the tea lies in the proper fusion. Black tea requires boiling water, »nd green tea does not. Black tea requires fresh water poured op the leaves when it has just come to a decided boil. Hot water that has boiled a long time and has lost its liife will not make a good tea. It should stand from three to seven minutes and only tn a porcelain pot. Then all the liquid should be poured off. In other words, pouij only as many cupfuls into the pot as you wish to serve at once. Hot water standing on tea leaves draws out the tannin, according to the Japanese women, and this is the main thing to be avoided. For second cups pour boiling water on the leaves already used.! When making a green tea the thing to bear in mind is that an oily beverage is desired. Water beyond 150 degrees Fahrenheit tends to destroy the flavor and aroma by driving off the volatile oil. Allow hot water to stand i|n the cups to be! served in order thit they may be thoroughly heated. Pour fresh hot water cooled to such an extent that the finger can be placed in it over the green leaves and let it stand In a porcelain pot for two minutes and a half. Then pour a little into each cup and then a little more, and so on This makes each cup of like quality. No sugar or jjiilk is needed if the water Is of the proper temperature. Japanese tea made in this manner should have a greenish amber color, with “a true tea bush aroma and an oily taste. Fatal Omission by Jone?. “My friend Jones,” said Mr. Skimmerton, “invited me to spend |a week at his place in the country and I went and had h delightful time, but I will never go again. . “Nice place Jones has and fib sets a good table, his beds are good and everything about his house is! charming. but there’s something missing from his garden. “It’s a nice garden, Jones’, flower beds andj that sort of thing, j and off at one end he has a place for vegetables; fine vegetables he raises, too, We had a generous taste of them. A nice garden sure enough, and still as I looked pround there was soimething missing my eye sought without knowing what, something that it didn’t find, and then it struck me all of a sudden. ‘"1 here wasn’t a pergola! “I for that. Most hospitable man, Jones; but I can’t afford to visit anybody living in the country that doesn’t have somewhere about his place a pergola.” The Ways of Women.. “You insist on doing this?* asked the husband. “I do!" replied the wife firinly. "But, nay dear —” “Stop!" she commanded. “Nothing you can isay will alter my determination! My mind is -made up.” “In that ease,” replied' the husband, who had transmuted the base metal of experience into the knowledge, “I have nothing more tc say. I realize that once possessed of an idea you are, like all your sex, beyond argument." “Do you mean,” demanded the wife with displeasure, “that I am fhcapable of seeing reason?” “Reason with a woman,” answered the husband from behind his paper, “is like water on a duck’s back, in one ear and out the other.” “You are wrong!” cried the wife triumphantly. “And to prove it, I have already changed my mind!”—Smart Set. Vendace of Lochmabep. Last month an interesting old custom was observed at Lochmaben, in Dumfrleshlre, when the towns neople exercised an ancient right granted by charter of James VI. of netting the lochs surrounding the burgh for vendace, a very rare fish. The fishing, however, did not prove productive, very few vendace being captured, though in former years they were plentiful. This fish, which is peculiar to the Lochmaben lochs alone, takes no lure, and dies immediately when taken from the water. Its length varies from six to eight inches, and it is greatly prized by epicures, being a fish of great delicacy—Court Jour nal. To Judge by the Papers.

* NCLE SAM’S newest and most interesting submarine boat, the Salmon, is an object of internaJ Isl a ■ tional Interest just now fl IS S « and i® hailed on both R £ | H sides of the Atlantic as a. * ”x-*J* the most remarkable submarine boat in the world. This fame is due to the Salmon's recent record-breaking cruise from the Atlantic coast to Bermuda and return—a deep-sea voyage such a? has had no parallel in the hlsj tory ofj, under-water craft. The cruise to Bermuda was not only the first cruise by a submarine to a foreign port or out of sight of land, but it was the longest virtually continuous run ever attempted by such a vessel. The total distance covered aggregated I nearly 1,700 miles and, as it happened, ' the little vessel encountered very i rough weather during a considerable ! part of the trip. j Not only did this nautical excuri sion establish a new record for vessels of the American navy, but it sur- | passed all foreign achievements. The i best performances previously recorded by American vessels of this type : was found in the run of the submarine Viper from Cape Lookout to AnnI apolls, Md., a distance of about 483 , knots, and the cruise of a flotilla of submarines from New York to Annapi oils, a distance of 385 knots. Among i the foreign performances of such vesi seis there stands out the record of

English submarines of about the same size as ths Salmon, which made the coastwise run from Dover to Dundee, a distance of 512 miles, and the famous performance of the French submarine Papin, which, on one occasion made a cruise of 1,200 miles. However, this French achievement Is overshadowed by the Salmon’s cruise because not only was the distance of the latter much greater,' but it was an open sea performance, whereas the Papin cruised along the coast, and, finally, the French vessel is much larger than the new American record-breaker, the Papin being of 550 tons displacement, whereas the Salmon is of but 320 tons displacement The Salmon, alike to most of the submarines which have lately been added to the United States navy, is a development of the original Holland type of submarine which first gave the Americans the lead in this class of shipbuilding. The Salmon is 135 feet in length by 14 feet beam and is a twin-shrew boat, being driven on the surface by two gasoline engines of 300 horsepower each and propelled when submerged by electrical power supplied from storage batteries. Byway of fulfilling her mission of destruction the little vessel has four torpedo tubes equipped to fire the latest type of torpedo—that is, a torpedo 17 feet in length and 18 inches in diameter, having a radius of 4,000 yards and carrying an explosive charge of 200 pounds of guncotton. On her cruise to Bermuda the Salmon carried a crew of 21 men, but it was demonstrated on this cruise that under actual service conditions such a submarine can be operated, in so far as navigation is concerned, by five men—two on the bridge and three in the engine room. The Salmon is capable of a speed of 14 knots per hour when running awash or on the surface of the water and 12 knots per hour when running wholly submerged. Only three minutes is required to change from surface running by gasoline engines to submerged running by electrical power. The vessel has, on trial, dived to a depth of more than 200 feet without any sign of strain or leakage being manifest anywhere on her steel elgar-shaped body. A unique feature of the equipment of an up-to-datß submarine such as the Salmon, is a double periscope whereby, when the vessel is wholly submerged the officers on board can observe all that is going on at the surface of the water. Electrical ranges are provided for cooking the meals of those on board, and there is a reserve supply of 4,800 cubic feet of air, contained in 28 tanks, bo that if need be the vessel could be “sealed up’’ tight and remain under the surface cf the water for one or two days and nights without those on board having any communication with the outside world or coming to the surface for fresh air. On the Balmoa’s Bermuda cruise there were on board, in , addition to the officers of the American navy, Capt Arture Cuevas of the Chilean navy, who went for the purpose of reporting to his governpent os the behavior of the vessel

Modern submarine boats are of two types, the submerged and the submergible. The submerged when In light cruising condition moves with inly a small percentage of the hull above the water; the submergible cruises on the surface inuch like an ordinary torpedo boat, which it resembles externally. The difference in principle between the two types is slight, but in construction details it is very marked. *The submerged boats are usually nearly cylindrical with polntied ends, the general shape being much like that of a Whitehead torpedo. Submergence is effected by admitting water to the ballast tanks orfoy means of inclined rudders, or both. Submersible boats have two hulls, one Inside the other. /The outer hull resembles closely that of the oAinary torpedo boat, but has as few projections ®s possible rising from the general outline, in omer to present a smooth surface when submersed. Inside this there is a second hull of nearay circular cross-section and as large as the shßpe of the outer boat permits. To effect submergence water first admitted to the space between® the hulls, and this brings the boat to the “awasßh” condition. Further submergence is effected %y permitting the ballast tanks to fill. When or by whom was built the fiifct submarine boat will probably never be known. It is said that Alexander the Great was intAested in submarine navigation, while subaqueous attacks of vessels was studied at least as early as the thirteenth or fourteenth century. M. Iflelpeuch states that some English ships were destroyed in 1372 by fire carried under water. 3n the early part of the seventeenth century sußunarlne boats were numerous, and in 1624 Van Drebbel exhibited to King James I. on the Thames a submarine boat of his own designi By 1727 no less than fourteen types of submarines had been patented in England alone. In 1774 Day began experiments with a submarine b&al at Plymouth, England, losing his life In the second submergence trial. In the following year David Bushnell built his first boat, with which Sergeant Lee attacked H. M. 8. Eagle in New \ York harbor. Lee aetually got under the shift

and the attack failed only because the screw by which the torpedo was to be attached io the Eagle’s bottom was not sharp enough. Robert Fulton’s experiments in France and America (1795-1812) demonstrated that a vessel could be built which could descend to any given depth and reascend at will. Plunging mechanism was devised about the middle of the eighteenth century, but Fulton developed the vertical and horizontal rudders and provided for the artificial supply of air. A form of periscope existed in 1G92 and an Improved kind was patented in 1774; in 1854 Davy still further developed IL Phillips’ wooden boat on Erie was crushed by the

water pressure, and the same fate befell Bauer’n iron boat Plongeur-Marin at Kiel in 1850. In 1863 McClintock and Howgate built a semi-submarine hand-propelled boat for the attack on the federal fleet, but it sank four times, each time drowning the entire crew of eight men. In the same year several larger boats propelled by engines were commenced in Europe, and these at intervals were followed by others designed by Hovgaard, Goubet, Zede, Nordenfeldt, Tuck, Holland and others. The French navy began experimenting with submarine boats about 1885. The Gymnote was built in 1888 and the Gustave Zede in 1893. The Morse was commenced in 1894, but remained uncompleted until 1899, pending additional experiments with the Gymnote and the Zede. In that year the construction Os submarines was actively commenced, ten being launched in 1901. All London is talking about the startling exhibitions of speed given by a little boat on the Thames and at Bournemouth. The boat was seen racing up and down the river at what seemed a terrific speed, darting along by leaps and bounds, just as a shark chases a fish scudding between wind and water. The Impression she left was not so much that of power, for she was such a mite of a thing, only 26 feet long, as of vicious and desperate energy. Crowds of people gathered along the embankment to watch her, wondering whence in her tiny body this overpowering energy could come. It has since been divulged that she is the Miranda IV., the latest experiment in skim boats, or, as they are called technically, hydroplanes, by the veteran English Inventor, Sir John Thornycroft. Compared with anything near her size, the Miranda IV. is certainly the fastest craft afloat. Her exact speed Is not known, but she hits several times done well over 34 knots an hour, and has decisively beaten the Columbine at Bournemouth, the only other craft which could lay claim to a record in her class. But it is not only for this terrific speed that the Miranda IV. is remarkable. She is the most seaworthy craft of . her size that has been constructed.

PLEASES PEOPLE OF WALESA investiture of Heir to British Throne | With Title of Prince of That Country Is Politic. Though the investiture of the new Prince of Wales carries with it no actual power the people in his nominal domains, it conveys some valuable perquisites and titles not to be disdained ever by royalty. The .earldom of Chester goes with the ] principality and is in a sense consid- ■ ered -part of it. By a statute of the Order of the Garter in 1805 the Prince of Wales becomes a knight of j the order as soon as he receives his i title. There was an annuity of 40,000 i pounds settled on the prince in the > course of Queen Victoria’s reign, alsu he gets the revenues of the duchy of j Cornwall, which sometimes amount to ' 100,000 pounds a year. The Princess I of Wales receives an annuity of 10,- ! 000 pounds, which becomes 30,000 in the event of her widowhood. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales have separate households, and George 111 even made general rules for their regulation in a vain attempt to keep the heir to the throne out of debt. The title of Prince of Wales is not hereditary. It must be re-created each time a new candidate appears. ■ Usually it is bestowed by patent and I investiture, though in a few instances i the monarch’s eldest son has become i prince simply by virtue of a declaration. The latter condition exists at present and will exist until next July. Though, as suggested, the ceremony conveys to the Prince of Wales no actual power, it is calculated to have a powerful sentimental effect on the Welsh people, an effect that ought to be heightened by the fact that in the present instance the pageant takes place, for the first time in centuries, on Welsh soil —that is, in Carnarvon, the birthplace of the first Prince of ; ■Wales, afterward Edward II of England. The traditionally independent spirit of the Welsh people for several centuries has ceased to exhibit itself in militant rebellion, but of. late it has manifested itself in a big effort to revive the Welsh ’anguage and literature. It is said that there are a half-million of people inside the principality who never sfeal; English. Under such conditions, it is easy to see how a formal, even if somewhat medieval, acknowledgement of the separateness of the principality may appeal to the people at large and mightily tickle them. Curious Breathing Cave. “When on my recent trip to the west I saw a curious freak of nature that, while it has never broken into the guide books, is still the pride of the round-about neighborhood,” said W. E. Cubben of Cleveland, 0., the other day. “This is called a breathing cave. The cave is in the lava formation on a high tableland near Prescott. In a wall of this cave is a crevice, which is probably three inches wide and several feet long. A visitor stands close to this crack. He feels at current of air rushing out of it. This is not so strange. But, if he waits long enough, he will notice that the direction of the current has changed, and the air is being drawn into the crevice. “The people of the neighborhood have many theories to account for the change in the direction of the air current, but I do not believe than any of them would stand the test of a scientist’s examination. A subterranean stream is given as the probable cause. Just how the flow of an underground river could cause the direction of the air current to be reversed I cannot see.” Origin of Writirtg. The revelations made at the remains of a great prehistoric palace at Knossos, in Crete, which is believed tc be the original of the fabled “Labyrinth,” would seem to carry back the existence of written documents on Greek soil some eight .centuries bevend the earliest known monuments d Greek writing and five centuries beyond the earliest dated Phoenician record as seen on the Moabite stone. These discoveries, therefore, place the whole question of the origin of writing on a new basis. It is thought that the Cretan hieroglyphs exactly correspond with what, in virtue of their names, we must suppose to have oeen the pictorial originals of the Phoenician letters on which the alphabet is based. Among these are Aleph, the ox’s head; Beth, the house; Daleth, the door, and so forth. This contravenes the old theory of De Rouge that the Phoenician letters were derived from early Egyptian forms signifying quite different objects. The Charm of Kansas. Kansas exercised the same fascination over him that she does over all who have yielded to her spell. There are some women whom to have loved once renders it impossible ever tc love again. As the “gray and melan- I choly main” to the sailor, the desert ! to the Bedouin, the Alps to the moun j taineer, so is Kansas to all her chil- , dren. No one ever felt any enthusiasm , about Wisconsin, or Indiana, or Michigan. The idea is preposterous. It is impossible. Tuey are great prosperous communities, but their inhabitants nan remove and never desire to return. They hunger for the horizon. They make new homes without the maladie du pays. But no genuine Kansan can emigrate. He may wander. He may roam. He may travel. He may go elsewhere, but no other state can .jaltn him as a citizen. Once naturalized, the allegiance can never be foreiwom. —John J. Ingalls.
