r'.o ? wnt collision between the Trench
bi. incs Uonite aud SouTleur by
I.iov. .euunt ItoWlIot, the commauder of
the Souffieur. The story of the affair
as told by one of the officers serving
on Lieutenant Roblllot's l>oat follows:
"Several vessels of the first flotilla
of submarines were onlere<l to attack
warships returning to port from the
maneuvers. The submarines assem
bled four miles from Cape Brun.
which lies six miles east of Toulon.
Each vessel was appointed a definite
sphere of action, beyond the bounds of
which It was ordered not to go. The
Souffieur. at a depth of twenty-five
feet lurked In the passage of the In
coming battleship Jauregulberry. with
tor;>edo tubes ready for action.
"?Without a moment's warning a
great black sbai>e blotted the water In
front of the Souffieur. It was the Bo
nlte, traveling at a rapid rate straight
toward the Souffieur.
"Lieutenant Roblllot, realizing the
dauger In a flash, shouted an order to
sink farther down, hoping to allow
the Bonlte to pass overhead. But it
was too late. The Bonlte crashed with
terrific force Into the Souffieur, which
was struck on the port side and had
the plunging rndder broken, so that it
was Impossible to stop the descent
"Next the Bonlte scraped along the
top of the Souffieur, destroying the
periscope and conning tower. The In
ner hatches were fortunately closed,
or the Souffieur would have sunk like
a stone In forty fathoms. We were all
hurled against the sides of the Souf
fieur by the shock, and some of us were
Injured.
"The batteries of our accumulators
were upset and the sulphuric acid
hissed upon the metals, and poisonous
fumes arose. Several men were over
come by the Kases. but we who re
mained conscious had no time to think
of helping them. Lieutenant Roblflot
stood tlrm ut bin post
"While we choked and fought against
asphyxiation another terrible danger
threatened us. The Boulte lay direct
ly above us. If we tried to rise to the
surface, we must collide with her
again. So we waited in the very shad
ow of death. The acid still hissed on
the metals, the deadly fumes rose
higher, and all the time our slow de
scent Into the depths continued.
"Some minutes passed In despairing

silence. Those tueu still capable of ?o
tloo stood pale, but resolute, at their
posts. At lust Lieutenant Koblllot
cried, "Let go the weights!' Instantly
our descent was stopped, and we ros?
rapidly to the surface.
"Gasping, we flung open the hatches
and let fn a rush of free air, bat the
danger was uot over yet The Bonlte,
coming to our help, collided with us
again, striking the Souffieur lu the
stern and damaging her stem more.
We remained afloat, though the Souf
fieur was a derelict. Scarce a word
was spoken as we were towed back to

"Once on shore, the sailors recovered
their self possession and declared that
they were willing to go dowu In the
Soufileur again when she has been re

POWER OF WEALTH.
Meney, Says a Physioian, Is Able to
Purchase Even Life.
The aged millionaire sighed.
" "I'd give all my money," he said, "If
I could buy twenty-flve more years of
life."
"But your money has already
bought you that," said the phyBlclan
coldly.
"What rot are you talking now?"
the millionaire asked peevishly.
"No rot at all, for it Is a fact, a
dreadful fact," said the physician,
"that the rich live, on the average,
twenty-flve years longer than the
poor. Born rich, you are assured of a
quarter century more life than would
be your allotment were you born poor.
Wealth buys you all that. And yet
they say that there Is nothing In mon
ey. Why, man, money buys life."
"How do you mean?" Bald the mil
lionaire. "This sounds rather like
nonsense to me."
"Oh, wealth protects one from so
many Ills. Rich babies nearly always
live, but poor ones die of a hundred
complaints Induced by poverty. Poor
babies die off shockingly. And so with
boys and girls, with men and women?
if they are rich. They live healthily
and therefore long, while If they are
poor they live unhealthily, and dis
ease. accident, contagion, privation
all sorts of preventable things? carry
them off.
"Yes, money buys life, and reliable
statistics show that If two children are
born today, one rich and the other
poor, the rich one will outlive the oth
er by the tidy margin of twenty-flve
veaw."? Philadelphia Record.
The Origin of "Paraon."
"Parson" Is from the Latin '?per
sona," u person, nnd the parson la the
persona ecelealuc, or representative, of
the church. The forms parson and
person bear the same relation to each
other as clurk and clerk. From being
pronounced parson the word has come
to be so written. Blackstone In his
"Commentaries" says:
"He Is called 'parson' (persona) be
cause by his person the church, which
Is an Invisible body, la represented,
and ho Is himself a body corporate iu
order to protect and defend the right*
of the church which be representa."
"To parse a sentence" Is to resolve It
into Its grammatical parts, and the
verb is declared to have arisen from
the interrogation "Pars?" ? that la,
"Quae pars oratlonis?" (What" part of
speech?) used by schoolmasters.
Too Broad a Hint.
"Yon've got a fellow in there that
won't wait on me again, not much,"
said an Irate customer, as he emerged
from the dining room and slapped hlo
money down on the pay desk. "I'm
out stingy," continued the customer,
"nnd don't mind giving tips, but when
a waiter hangs round till a fellow has
nearly finished eating and whistles 'Do
not forget me,' I think It is about time
something was done."? London Mall.

Inevitable.
"So Nelson is dead. What killed
him?"
"You know he had one foot in the
grave?"
"Yee."
"Well, some one pulled his leg."?
