Paul Olsson of 743 58th a mural decorator by trade but a man who has "handled ships and sailed boats since I was that high," has applied to the Patent Office in Washington to patent his device for rescuing men trapped in a sunken submarine. The device may be described as a sub-submarine and its main feature is an airtight metal tube in which the trapped men are to be raised, one after another, to the surface a mother ship standing by, it is to be worked by a single diver descending to the sunken submarine. The diver lifts a circular hatch about 14 Inches in diameter on the submarine deck and attaches one end of the metal tube at this opening. The trapped men in the submarine lower a plate, which was just under the hatch, permitting a clear passageway inrougn wnicn one man scrambles up into the tube. The minute he does so those left behind thrust the plate up again, so that the lirst man is in a sort of tiny sub marine of his own 'in the tube.

The diver pulls out a plug, freeing the tube from the submarine, and at the same time he slips hooks at the end of two stout chains suspended from the mother ship on the surface of the mater into metal eyelets on the outside of the tube. The tube is then pulled to the surface and opened and the first man has been rescued alive. This process is to be repeated again in exactly the same way, except for the last man. The last man would have nobody left after htm to thrust up the plate and so make his tube with himself in it airtight. He would have to be specially trained to pull the plate after himself, effecting the same results.

It mas through the premature ex plosion a few years ago of a atory told in confidence to a London nems reporter that Mr. Matthems became morld-midcly knomn overnight. He mas swamped with nublicitv. hounded I by the press, pursued wherever he went and besieged by governments all because of that mord "death ray." Made half-mad, both mentally and temperamentally speaking, by the mistakes of the journalist and the misunderstanding of the public, poor Mr.

Matthems hopped into a' plane and escaped to France from his native England. More Fantastic Yarns. Escaped, did I say? Far from it. France practically rose up as one man, embraced the famous inventor, kissed him on both cheeks and invited him to demonstrate horn- whole armies could be killed by the mere pressing of an electric button. Then more fantastic yarns came out, saying France must be trying to steal from England the "death ray" invention of her gifted son.

In despair, the hero of the "death ray' story stole upon a transatlantic liner bound for the port of New York. "And I was met." he mailed mhen I saw him at the Hotel Ansonia. "before I landed by at least 47 American reporters with notebooks and cameras! Just look at these and these and THESE," he sobs, poking with gingerly fingers at half a dozer, huge tomes containing clippings. "Newspaper stories! And mostly wrong. I am still known as the 'death ray man" m'hen, as a matter of fact, 1 should be thought of as a student of the forces and uses of light rays which carry life rather than death." Ray Merely Stuns.

Since the fatsl tale by the ambitious news writer of the London Daper at least two years have elapsed, but the "death ray" has not yet killed a man and is not designed so to do. It stuns, throwing men to the ground and rendering them unconscious for 15 or 20 minutes. "In cases," goes on its inventor, "where a man had a weak heart it might kill, just as any other shock might. We do not even know yet its possibilities. It has never been employed in warfare, and the furthest it has been thrown is a distance of C4 feet because 64 feet happened to be the length of the laboratory where I tried it out.

"I wanted to make further experiments on an island offered for my use in the British Channel but was deterred by the expense and the fact that I was interested in more pressing work. My idea originated in my efforts to develop something that would stop an enemy airplane. I had experimented in electricity from the age of 10 at my home in Gloucestershire. Projected Voice In 1911. "As far back as 1911 I projected wireless message, not telegraphically but by the actual voice, from Cardiff to various airplanes.

For years newspaper articles appeared describing 'The Voice of the North Sea which seamen distinctly heard, and the origin of which could not for a long while be learned. It can truth fully be said that history was made at Cardiff, it was the beginning of Mr. Matthews and his aids com municated thus'in 1911-1912 between stations located at Letchworth and Northampton, 40 miles apart, many of the messages being picked up 500 mues away. In 1912 he demonstrated some of his inventions before the Queen. During the War his wireless was constantly employed.

Reminiscences of his 50-year career as actor and theatrical manager were related by Dan Robertson, retired showman, last nlrht before a regular meeting of the Kings County Republican Club, held at tho clubhouse, 202 Patchen ave. A brief business meeting wbh presided over by Walter Johnston, president of the club. If we were the Editor of that Etiquette Column, we'd hand out a swell set of advice.

For instance, why not bring the Ginger Ale In on an oyster fork, which is an original idea, and much snappier than the glass and tray thing? Anybody could pour Ginger Ale into a glass, and bring it in thac way. And if the inquirer doesn't own an oyster fork, and on re-reading her query we seriously doubt if she'd be able to distinguish between an oyster fork and a Studio Upright Piano, she might use a thermometer! And the idea of attempting to teach the boy friends naughty games liko Eridge and Hearts or shipwreck! What's the matter with Post Office, or Spin-the-Bottle, or Forfeits? Or Blind-Man-Buff! Dear, oh dear, is there just NO morality left to us! was very agreeable to look upon inS pink taffeta. i Mr. Koussewitsky introduced tha evening with Bach's Second Branden- burg Concerto, for Violin, Flute, Oboe and in the edition edited by Mottl. His reading was marked by its clarity of design and its precision of enunciation.

One begins to suspect that M. Koussewitsky is developing into a martinet, for in the tonal cloth woven these days by his band the threads and their pattern are almost as sharply defined as those in the tapestries turned out by Mr. Tosca-nini's Philharmonic. It was not, however, in Bach that we mosc enjoyed Mr. Koussewitsky, but in Dukas.

The performance of that jeweled "poeme danse," "Le Peri." was a fit companion piece to the performance of Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloe" that Mr. Koussewitsky offered to Manhattan little less than a month ago; a masterpiece of sensuous sorcery, acting as a narcotic upon the minds of those pursued by unlovely memories of a too literal world. It is rather odd that Mr. Koussewitsky, having achieved his highest fame as an exponent of the sterilized products of certain moderns, should control with his fingertips such power of emotional necromancy. The two seem mutually exclusive, but in this man they are united.

And it is also odd that Mr. Koussewitsky, so congenial a guest at the orgies of Dukas and Ravel, should be, as we have found him, an awkward stranger in Venus-berg. But the mysteries of temperament are no concern, we remember, of musical critics. The evening wound up with Sibelius' First Symphony, whose pallid and torturous philosophy has a strange potency in the face of the fact that it is unsound esthetically and not especially good Sibelius. The composer of the F'ourth and Fifth, the Sixth and Seventh Symphonies is regarded by those whose business embraces all musical phenomena as a genius without parentage the roots of these symphonies are in no soil that we know.

It is otherwise with the music played last evening by Mr, Koussewitsky and his men, for the First Symphony glances backward often and affectionately in the dircc tion of Tschaikowsky. One dimly recognizes the source of this orches tral technique and occasionally the thematic material is of a familiar vulgarity. But one admires the Sym phony none the less, particularly in a performance, as deeply sympathetic as that contrived By Mr. Koussewit sky. OTHER MUSIC.

Deems Tvlor's "The King's Hench man" had its first performance this spason at the Metropolitan Opera House yesterday afternoon as a benefit for the scholarship fund of the New York Vassar College Club. The cast included Mme. Easton and Messrs. Johnson, Tibbett and Gustat-srn in its principal roles, with Mr. Serafin conducting.

Both Mr. Taylor and his librettist. Fdna St. Vincent Millay, were present and took bovj before the curtain. In the evening Mme.

Oh My Gosh, whatta life I CONEY ISLAND BY THE SEA. On Thursday, your Boy Rian was escorted out to the Half Moon Hotel in Coney Island, where, besfcles addressing the Twelve Thirty Club, he was taken on an expedition through devious and sundry of the Hotel, the Boardwalk and the island itself. a a Right here, too.

we want to express our surprise. Why, down there at Coney you have the self-same ocean that you pay twelve dollars a day for, European Plan, at Altantic City. And you can go there for a nickel! For a little more than three pesos, you can go to Atlantic City, but remember that it costs you about three hundred dollars to leave there, providing you don't stay long. For aftfr all, what is Atlantic City, besides being the Coney of Philadelphia? We enjoyed the visit immensely. In fact, it's the first time we've ever gone to Coney without getting sea-sick on a merry-go-round.

Aside from the fact that there aren't as many Rug Sellers at Coney as there arc Atlantic City, it's all one with us.

Never have had Jealousy before, but "Helen" asked you to name the day, an' right away you fell and said "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursdsy, Trlday, Haturday or Sunday!"
