Sir Erie CM.len. said tliat If a submarine Is slghti-d by toe lookout on a vessel whether the vrssel Is armed or not makes no tllftYivncv It Is seven to throe on the ship In favor of Its Retting away. Out of every ten attacks, when the submarine Is sight ed by the, ship, seven of thi-:n fall, but of every ten nttnrki whi n the si:!ma rtne Is not sighted right stiij go down. In this connection we note that Sir Alfred Trtmw offered, some months ago, a monetary reward to the first seaman on any merchant vessel to detect the preseuce of a submarine In the ease of the American destroyer, recently sunk. It will be noted thst the presence of a submniine was not known until the ship was torpedoed Will some American offer a similar bonus for the seamen on our shlpsr Scientific American. n-s one monilnc In l'.CT.

Heports from Berlin recently re ceived In London show that the kaiser's subjects are facing a further reduction In the sup;ily of beer, says the Sew Tork Times. The amount of malt available for brewing has Just been fixed, and. tvherep.s the amount for the last year wr.s 25 per cent of the peace quota, the amount for the next year Is . to be only 10 per cent In North Ger many, and 1.1 per rent In Bavaria. When the requirements of the army and of the munitions factories which In Germany get precedence have been met. there will be enough malt to provide tie civil population with a boot one-third of Its consumption In peace time, but the beer Is only the thin "war beer." The hnrley harvest In the rest of Germany has been bad, and there Is now a great increase In the proportion of barley that is used for food. After the War.

That statement was made by Wil liam G. Whittemore. manager of the stationery and novelty department of the American News Company, says the New York Journal of Commerce. Mr. Whittemore was In Germany when war was declared, buying toys for his con cern. This was before the war, one of bis duties, but It Is doubtful If such a trip will ever be necessary after peace Is declared because of the fact that the American toy manufacturer has taken hold of his problem wltfc xh aptitude and facility.

In a few momenta a clean, open- faced young fellow waa brought In by a guard, and one of those sgonlztng scenes that only Jails behold ensued. When the first shock of the meeting was over the warden said to the young man : "Now tell your father and me bow you got Into this scrape. Nothing you say will b used against you at your trial." "When I first came to New York." the young man began, "everything went all right- I got a Job and found good boarding house- I didn't feel homesick at first, because I was so In terested In my work through the day. and at night it was Interesting to go out and see the slhT. nursftofM got used to my Job and hnd seen most of the sights I hnd more time to think and to get homesick and lonesome.
