INSIDE A SUBMARINE r You Are Greeted by a Deafening, Ear Splitting Racket. WORSE THAN A BOILER SHOP. To Make Yourself Heard at All You Must Shout into the Ear of a Com panion-The Economy of Space and the Simplicity of Arrangements. Clinbing down ten rungs of an iron ladder into the interior of a sub marine is like going Into a boiler shop where there is one continuous, deafen ing, ear splitting racket like a dozen trip hammers chattering a tattoo amid a grind and rumble and thump of ma chinery as if especially designed to burst your eardrums. At first the noise in that narrowly confined space is painful and bewilder ing. To make yourself at all heard you must shout into the ear of a com panion. So intense is the strain, says a writer in St. Nicholas, that you mar vel how day in and day out human ears can withstand the ordeal. You End yourself inside what seems an enormous steel cigar painted a neat pearl gray, a color which is serviceable and does not dazzle the eye. Light comes to you partly through portholes and in part from incandescent lamps placed fore and aft in the darker parts of the hull. You have expected, of course, to land in a tangle of whirling machinery that fills the inside of the boat from stem to stern, threatening with every revolution to take an arm or a leg off. Instead the first thing you see is an uninterrupted "working space," or deck, measuring iby 25 or 30 feet. At the stern, far in the background, are the machines and- engines. In fact, this section of the vessel is nothing but machinery, a r-mbling mass of silvery steel and glittering brass revolving at the rate of 500 times a minute, so com pact that you wonder -how the various parts can turn without conflicting or how 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 wiM see. The floor you stand on is a cover for the cells of the storage batteries wherein is pent up the electricity with which your boat will propel herself when she runs sub merged. The-wals amidships and the space' In the bow fre gigantic ballast tanks to be illed with.water that will these are tool boxes and -hinged bunks for the crew to sleep in. The four torpedoes, measuring six teen feet three Inches long; eighteen inches in diameter and weighing 1,500 pounds each, are lashed end for end' in pairs at either side, and directly over these are tool boxes and hinged bunks for the crew to sleep in. The very air which Is taken along to keep life In you in case the boat should be detained beneath the suiface. longer than usual Is compressed in a steel cyl inder 2,000 pounds per square Inch, a pressure so intense that were the cyl inder to spring a leak so larger than a pin hole and were~ the ting stream of escaping air to strike a human being it would penetrate him thr-ough and through and drill a hole-'through 'an inch-thick board behind him.. And 'yet everything about the inte rior-arrangements of this boat is'so sim pIe that you -can see -at a glance its purpose. Away forward, where the tip of the cigar comes to a point, are the two, torpedo tubes out of which the gunner -wlll send his deadly pro 3ectiles seething b)eneath the waters at the rate of 35 knots an hour .against an unnsuspecting -hull. Directly -,under the conning tower is a platform, three feet square and ele vated three feet from the' deck, upon which the captain stands, head and shoulders extending 'Into the tower, so that while at his post he' is visible to the crew only from the waist linae down, and at .the fleet of the captaini and on a level with his platform Is stationed another of the' officers, in charge of the' wheel that conti-ols the diving rudd2ers and the gauges thlat register~ ther angles of ascent and de cline and sho-how' deep the boat is down.

AIDED HER RIVAL Romance 'of a London~ -Soiety Lae and a DiamondNckae The jewelers of. Bond street could if they liked~tell many an amazing story. There is no need to dilate on the fasci nation- which scinNtilting gems exer cise upon the feminine mind. That fas cination Is a fact and may serve to ex plain a mortal enmity which- existed recently and probably still exists be tween two well known society leaders. To one of them a highly placed admir er mentioned his- intention to purchase a diamond necklace. Knowing that the lady possessed more than a superficial knowledge of the- value of stones, be begged her to select for him what he required. The price he was prepared to give was ?1,500.' The lady jumped i to the conclusion that such a request could have but one maning-viz, that she herself was to be the eventual. re cipient of the gift She thereupon vis ited the jeweler's shop and inspected his stock, but at the price she was em powered to give saw nothing that par ticularly took her fancy. A fascinating piece of workmanship, however,-did at tract her, the price of which was.3,000 guineas. The desire to possess 'it be came Irresistible. She arranged with the jeweler to send the necklace to the purchaser and invoice it to him at the agreed upon price, while she gave her own check~for the balance. Then she went home and awaited the arrival of the gift Some days passed, but there . was no appearance of the necklace. A horrible doubt which assailed her be came certainty a day or two later when she saw the Identical necklace she had helped to pay for sparkling on ha *the neck of a younger and more beauti- on ful rival.-Grand Magazine. ___________he As An Equinox. ed Tommy-Pa, what is an equinoxt pec Pa-Why-er-it is-ahemn!
