Mines have an interesting and ro mantic history; for their beginnings We must go back to our Revolution- iry War. An ingenious undergrad- late of Yale, David Bushnell, worked uf the idea while still a college stu- dent. "Bushnell's Turtle," which he con- itructed, represented not only the irst attempt at a submarine mine; it was also the world's. first submar- ne boat. These two deadly en- gines which play so impartant a part n the world's struggle, originated 0 the: same brain and at the same time. Bushnéll's chief ambition was to construct a recepticle containing an 3xplosive, which he could set off un- ier the enemy's vessel--the submar- 'ne boat was built merely as a meth- 2d of putting this amicable engine in position, The véssel was large enough to hold a man in sitting posure; its elevation and submersion was ac- complished by letting 'water in and out; it had an elaborate mechanism for steering and propulsion. Thé navigator worked a couple of treads with his feet after the pres- ent fashion of running a sewing ma- chine; this started a couple of paddle wheels on the outside which fur- nished the vessel's motive power, The exterior wall held in place a large keg, filled with gunpowder, ignited by a fuse; at the eritical mo- ment the inmate released this, backed away quickly so as to save his own skin, and calmly awaited the pending destruction. Bushnell, after many experiments, finally made a night attack on the British cruiser Eagle, anchored off Staten Island. His submarine worked successfully; his torpedo exploded according to programme; owing to some mistake in calculation, it did not go oft directly funder the British vessel, but at 4 little distance away. All that Bushnell got for his pains, therefore, was a loud report and a huge geyser, -- Reason Enough. There recently vipited the West a young. Turk attached to the Turkish émbaksy at Washington. This youth- ful Ottoman was much taken by the daughter of a ranch owner in Wy- oming. "You walk and ride and shoot as well as a man," he sald to her otie day. "Why, to be sure!" exclaimed the girl, to whom all these things were a matter of course, "Can you swim, too?" "I ea) nd very well." "Then yow must be quite as strong as a man." "I think I am--as strong as the average man." "And you wouldn't let a man beat you---not even if he were your hus- band?" "Certainly mot," girl in indignation, The Turk shook his head reflec- tively. "Now I understand," said he "why the men of the Western world never have more than one wife-- they're afraid." exclaimed the ment hotels on wheels.
