TESTING SUBMARINES.
It la an Easisr Task New Than It Wn
• Few Year* Age. ,
Vessels liullt to navigate under wa
ter require particular care In their
construe*!on, for when tliey are suh- i
merged they have to withstand tilt
pressure of water from ail sides with
out showing the slightest leak.
The newest submarines must lie able
to sink to a depth of ISO feet or more.
At such a depth the pressure is tre
mendous, and 11 the joints ore not per
feet water squirts In us though through
a hose pipe. Teu years ngo testing a
new submarine was a dangerous Job.
She might not lie watertight. Her bal
ance might not he jierfeet. or. again,
tlie air system might not be equal to
blowing out the water from her tanks.
Terrible Occidents have occurred in
testing new under water boats during
actual submergeuee. but today ail that
is a thing of the past. A' testing dis k
is used, which was invented by an
Italian engineer. Major Laurenti. It
is u huge cylinder, into whic li the sul>
maiine is floated. A caisson at the
end is closed mid hermetically sealed.
The cylinder is built so as to stand
tremendous pressure, and pressure is
slowly applied until it equals some
thing far greater than the submarine ,
herself will ever 1>« called on to en

tion with those outside by meons of

wrong the trial can at once cease.— j

ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG.
RuIm Governing tho Use of the Star
Spangled Banner.
There are ninny citizens who are not
familiar with the rules governing the
use of the stars ami stripes. To them
the following hints on flag etiquette
will lie of Interest;
The flag should not he hoisted before
sunrise nor allowed to remain up after
sunset. It should not be displayed
upon stormy clays.
When the flag is displayed at halt
staff for mourning it Is to bo lowered
to that pnsiMon from the top of the
staff. It is afterword hoisted to tin
top before it 1r Anally lowered.
When the flag Is formally raised all
present should stand at attention, wilh
hand raised to the forehead ready for
the sulute.
When our national flag ami state or
other flags fly together or are used in
decoration together our national flag
should Is- on the right.
When used ou a bier or casket at a
funeral-the stars should lie placed at
the head. In no case should the flag
lie allowed to touch the ground.
It Is an unwritten law In the navy
that the flag is never to he washed; it
is nlwajs to be considered Immneuinte.
Kor indoor decorations the flag can
only lie used as a drapery; it. cannot he
used to cover a bench or table, desk
or box where anything can be placed
or set ujHin the flag.-Daughters of the
American Revolution Magazine.
The Use of Candy.
Pure candy is good for children. Pure
sugar is good for grown |ieople. Of
course there are exceptions to every
rule. If the doctor prescribes a diet
and orders a patient to refrain from
sweets the jtatient is hound to obey
his adviser. What is the use of calling
a physician and paying him for sug
gestions if the latter Hre treated with
indifference? People in ordinary heallli
need not be afraid to gratify an appe
tite which craves sweets. Those who
have looked into the matter have been
telling us lately that soldiers on the
march hold out better if they have
rations of sugar thau if their food
omits this useful commodity. A fond
ness for sugar is often a defense
agaiust the temptation to use alcoholic
stimulauts. The inehriute does not care
very much about pure sweets.
Some New Usee For Yeast.
Because it is so essential in the mak
ing of bread and beer most of us think j
that yeast is useful for nothing else.
But the Berlin Institute of Fermenta
tive Industries calls attention to the j
fact that valuable flavoring extracts
and tonics can be obtained from it and j
a relatively large percentage of mus
cle building matter. Its remaining con- \
stitueut, a mass of cellulose, can be I
used to make a very hard mass, known :
as ernolith. an excellent noniuflam
mable substitute for celluloid.—Popu- ]
lar Science Monthly.

The Pulse Beat.
The readiest and roughest estimate \
of time is tlie pulse beat. It Is sad to
know that the human pulse boat is not
exactly sixty to the minute. Thut is
one of the faulty disarrangements of
life. But it comes pretty close. And
the rough aud ready calculator of the
Mine between the flash of lightning
and the thuiidef -depends on his pulse
when he cannot see his watfcli. To the
ordinary man a second is a pulse beat
