The submarine is much older than the German Empire, and the credit of being the first sovereign to make a trip in one isgiven to James I. of England, a monarcl- who has gener- ally been represented as a man of more than ordinary timidity. Doubt has been cast on the story, but Whe- ther it is true or not that James act- ually made a trip in a submarine, it is interesting to recall that one of James’ friends did undoutbedly con- struct the first practical submersible boat recorded in history. Alexander the Great is said to have employed diving bells at the siege of Tyre, 332 BC. An Arabian historian named Bohaddin, who lived about 1150 A.D., relates that a div-er entered Ptomlemais during a siege by means of a submarine apparatus. An invention for descending into the sea was heard of at Toledo in 1538, and Charles V. is said to have inter- ested himself in it. Forty-two years later an Englishman, William Boone, was credited with inventing “a plunging apparatus” similar to a de- vice produced nearly 200 years later by one Symons, which was galley shaped with a dome-like roof, but differing in the manner of submer- sion. Boone’s plunger was sub- merged by contraction of the hull through the instrumentality of hand vises, which reduced its volume, while Symons made use of leather bottles, which he filled with water. Magnus Pegelius in 1605 made a similar device which was regarded as a marvel of its time. According to Allan H. Burgoyne, F.R.G.S., “the honor of having con- structed the first submarine boat un- doubtedly belongs to Cornelius van Drebel, a Dutch physician. His first submarine was made in 1620, when he built and launched a navigable submersible boat, and so successful did it prove that he had two others constructed on the same plans, in the larger of which James I., of whom van Drebel was an intimate friend, made a lengthy trip. These early craft’ were built of wood and render- ed watertight by stretching greased leather all over the hull. The fol- lowing is from a description of the largest: She carried twelve rowers, besides passengers, and made a jour- ney of several hours at a depth of from twelve to fifteen feet. The holes for the oars were made to hold water by leather joints. Van Drebel accounted his chief secret to be the composition of a liquid that would speedily restore to the troubled air a proportion of cital parts as would make it again fit for respiration for a good while. The composition of this liquid for enabling air to be used again was never made public. Van Drebel died in 1634 without having completed his experiments, leaving no document relative to his work on the subject. Louis XIV. being harassed by the repeated solicitations of a veteran of- ficer for promotion, said one day loud enough to be heard: “That gentle- man is the most troublesome officer I have in my service.” “That is pre- cisely the charge,” said the old man, “which your majesty's enemies bring against me.” Sidney Smith tells the above story in his essay upon Edge- worth on Bulls, and with it he links another which is familiar to many of us in other forms. He quotes it from Mr. Edg.eworth,. who in turn cites it from a certain Joe Miller. An English gentleman was writing a let- ter in a coffee house; and perceiving that an Irishman stationed behind him was taking that liberty which Parmenio used with his friend Alex- ander, instead of putting his seal on the lips of the curious impertinent, the English gentleman thought pro- per to reprove the Hibernian, if not with delicacy, at least with poetical justice. He concluded writing his letter in these words: “I would say more, but a tall Irishman is reading over my shoulder every word I write." “You lie, you scoundrel," said the self-convicted Hibernian. The British schoolmaster, espe- cially when the summer term is well over and the annual examinations well behind, has a peculiar penchant for reporting schoolboys’ “bowlers." Two or three from those which have been given recently are worth quot- ing. One is particularly hard upon England as a place of residence. “In 55 B. 0.,” says the writer, “Casar came to Britain for a holiday, but as soon as he saw the place, he went back.” Another schoolboy has evi- dently no use for socialism. “Social- ism,” he says, “means having all the railways run on one line, and all that sort of thing, which seems rather hopeless.” Then here is a world of feeling in another effort, which runs, “All geometry begins with a general denunciation.” A party of distinguished English- men which included a judge of the high court, an editor of the Satur- ay Review and a naturalist, were sit- ting in the editor’s room when a sin- gular spider ran across the floor and disappeared under some books, It was one of the lazy, est species found in England and the naturalist lifted the books instantl}, according to World’s Work. The Spider darted toward the old justice. He sprang up and the spider’s life ended. “It was a very rare species,” murmured the naturalist, regretfully. “I made it rarer,” said the judge, grimly. W.

Every big casualty list brings sad news to many a Canadian home. Usual words of solace fail at mo- ments like these, but perhaps this from a mere boy in the trenches to a mother of five fighting sons, who had been informed of the death of one of them in action, may help. For it is to the men in the trenches that all Canada looks for help and hope these days. As for these words, do they not sound like a message from the very fallen? “I hope by this time, dear mother, that a whole lot of the bitter sting has passed. Dear. dear Mother, 1 know it is hard, terribly hard, for one of us to be taken, and especially for it to happen to Tom, after having been so lucky for so long, but after all, Mother 0’ mine, it is war, you know, cold, hard cruel war, and the same thing is happening daily, yes, hourly, to some dear mother’s boy. 1 know that you will say, 'But that is not my son!’ and I 'rnow that yOu will feel angry at me for even writ- ing like this, but Mother, is it not so? “I know that when you get over the first big shock, that you will see things in the right light, and look forward to the time when you and 1, and all of us, will have the everlast- ing pleasure of meeting him in a land where sorrow is not even known, and where we shall never have to part again. ‘Then, dear Mother, you must find a whole world of consolation in knowing that Tommy died as you would have him, or any or all of us die, if‘must be fighting to the last to help keep the grand old flag flying, and to save the dear old Mother and Dad and all his loved ones from a power that, if it were allowed to con- quer, would tyrannize over our homes and make life a veritable hell upon earth. And, then again, dear Mother 0’ mine, you still have five sons left who all regard you as the very best mother on earth. I know, dear Mother, it is terrible, but think of some of the other mothers who have lost their only son!” Many Canadian Airmen. Figures illustrating the extent to which Canada is represented in the Imperial flying services have been supplied, from an authoritative source, and show the following de- tails. The number of officers who,aft,e1 crossing to Eng land in the Canadian foxces, were granted commissions in the Flying Corps is 299. Officers of Canadian birth who se- cured commissions directly in the Flying Corps number 93. Three hundred and forty-six offi- cers in the Naval Air Service crossed from Canada under the arrangements organized there by: Admiral Kings- mill. Sixtyâ€"six officers who joined the Naval Air Service 111 Canada have since been transferred into the Royal Flying Corps. Eighty members of the Canadian military force have been granted commissions in the Naval Air Ser- vice. Mr. P-emberton Billing in the House of Commons recently asked the Secretary-of ‘t‘t‘ar whether, in View of the aptitude shown by Cana- dians and Australians for aviation, the Government will conside: the ad- visability of encouraging rather than discouraging overseas men grom qualifying for admission to the Fly- ing Corps. Under-Secretary Maepherson re- plied: “My friend’s s11 1g~stion is not borne out by facts s. 'lhe propor- tion of overseas men among the pilots has always been larg Every encoumg ement is given them. There a1e special oflicers in the dominions selecting cadets.” 888.5 'I Mr. Macpherson: “I hope the an- swer I have given will find sufficient publication in the dominions.” Toronto is supposed to be a high- ly cultured city. It can be readily understood therefore what a sensa- tion was caused among the art lovers of the community by the recent discovery that paintings to the value of $1”, 351 were stored away in one of the municipal “attics.’ These pic- tures had been purchased by the Canadian National Exhibition from exhibitors in their art galleries, and were intended to forin part of the city’s permanent collection.
