J WHAT MODERN DIVERS DO.
UfPBOVn) APPARATUS OKBAXLY
UOBXASSS TEXXB SKILL.
The Plver is an Important Person
and 11 la Labor a Factor la the
World's Progress.
-The remarkable headway which has
been made of recent years in the way of
inventions for, and the manufacture of,
the apparatus used by divers, has great
ly facilitated the labor and lessened the
dangers connected with what will al
ways be a dangerous calling. This im
provement in the apparatus they use has
enabled tho divers of to-day to per
form a variety of work greatly in excess
of that which they could have under
taken a few years ago, and divers have
now to understand pier construction,
wreci raising, submarine mining, the
repairing and cleansing of vessels, and
the construction of tunnels and collier
ies. A depth of more than 150 feet is but
very seldom descended to, and that
depth is considered the limit for divcra'
work. The 204-foot mark below the
surface was reached by a diver named
James Hooper, and is said lo be a best
oa record. Ke descended to it seven
times and remained at that very excep
tional depth for forty-two minutes on
one of the seven descents. This feat was
I performeJ while examining a ship called
' . 1- . f TT I ' 1 , i I
tue vape rauru, wuica nau gone aown
with a valuable cargo of copper on the
east coast of South America.
When divers first begin to practise
their profession they almost always de
Ecend tu tho bottom or to the vessel or
whatever it is they are going to work on,
by means of a ropo ladder heavily
weighted at the foot, but when they
have gained in experience thsy prefer a
simple ropo, also weighted, down which
they slide. Just below the surface they
pause for a short time in order to make
sure that everything about their dress is
all right, and then continue on their
downward way very slowly, so as to
grow accustomed to the increasing pres
sure. It is the habit of the most ex
perienced men to stop at intervals, and
if t'icy feel any unpleasant symptoas to
descend for ayardor so before going down
a greater distance.
If there is great oppression or a loud
singing in the cars, the diver must not
persevere iu his attempt to go down, but
return to tho boat or dock. OJdly
enough, it is even more necessary to as
cend slowly froai a considerable depth
than it is to ascend in that manner. By
stopping every now and then, the ill
effects of the sudden change from resist
ing a great pressure to being in tho open
air are avoided. It takes a very strong
and experienced man to undertake any J
nork at a depth of lzo feet, and lu com
ing up from that depth a niau should
take at least five minutes.
When a diver has reached the foot of
tiis ladder or rope he attaches a light
line to it and secures the other end to his
wrist, so ai to be able to get back to tho
ladder whenever he wishes to. Iu case !
this line should become unattached and
he cannot find the ladder he should at
once give the signal to be pulled up.
There is one type of diving dress that
is a recent invention, and which is not
connected with the surface with the
usual vital airpipe and the all-important
signal cord. It is called the self-fecdiDg
dress, and has a small supply of oxygju
in the reservoir.
The first time it was used was by a
fearless English diver named Lambert,
whose record for daring and successful
work beneath the surface 13 a remarkable
one. The great tunnel under the mouth
of the river Severn, iu England, became
flooded in part, and he descenJcd the
shaft and worked his way for a quarter
of a mile in the absolute darkness
through what was called a baby tunnel
which was nearly filled with a rushing
torrent that carried with it much heavy
debris. His object was to close a heavy
iron door, and he hud to carry an iron
crowbar with him. After a hard strug
gle he reached the door and found that
two rails had to be pried up in order that
the door could be closed. After two
hours' work he got one out of the way
and then, dreading the exhaustion of his
supply of oxygen, he retreated to the
mouth of the shaft aud was drawn to the
surface, with a very small quantity re
gaining. The next day, after renewing
the supply, ho weut into tho tunnel
agaiu and succeeded in closing tho
door, and thu3 enabled the engineers to
pump the flooded portion dry.
Lambert has been a diver for a quar
ter of a century, and has visited every
part of the world during ht3 professional
career. Once he recovered $350,003
worth of gold Spanish dollars and ingots
which had been lost in a mail steamship
called the Alphonso XII., which sank
off Point Gaudo, Grand Canary Island,
in 160 feet of water. The treasure,
$500,000 in all, was in a small room be
low three decks, and Lambert first had
to blow a portion of the vessel up in or
der to get at it. This feat he considers
his most praiseworthy, and he wear3 one
of the gold pieces he saved, on his watch
chain.
Diver3 have also saved $250,000 in
gold and silver from a steamship sunk
oil tho Chinese coast, near Shanghai.
Just as they had secured it a fleet of
pirate junks came along, and the divers'
vessels bad a very narrow escape from
being captured.
In the pearl and sponge fisheries in
various parts of the world the diving
dress has almost superseded the old
methods of having naked native divers,
and the output has consequently been
very largely increase !.
As yet the coral fishers in the Medi
terranean and the amber fishers in the
Baltic have nearly all proved too con
servative to adopt the modern methods ;
but in one case, whero a London dealer
in diving apparatus and dresses sent a
man down to search for coral, the diver
came back with a large supply of choice
specimens, and the owner of the fishery
has used the dre3s ever since. Neio

Itaisins From Grap;3.
lUisius arj merely dried grapej pre
pared by several processes, but. in Europe
only two are geuerally practised. Ouo
of these consist in partially cutting
through the stalk of the ripening bunches
and then allowing them to haug on the
vines until tho berries shrivel and dry by
the heat of the. suu. These arc considered
the best raisins and are kuown as the
Muscatels. Large quantities are raised
and exported from Malaga. In the other
process the grapes when gathered are
hung oa lines or spread out on drying
Amis to dry in the sun. When dried
they are dipped in hot lye, to which has
been added a little olive oil and salt.
After dipping the fruit is spread out on
wicker work to drain and dry still more,
after which the raisins are stripped from
the stalks and packed in boxes. But all
the grapes from which raisins are made
are different from any of our nativo
species and varieties, none of which will
answer for raisins, as their pulp is not
firm and hard enough, and when we
undertake to dry them there i3 little left

A Well Developed Skull.
"The frog has a huge skull, with a
very small brain cavity and an enormous
mouth for the purpose of swallowing
fish, small ducks or any other prey of
size, whole. Dan Biara, tue trust, tells
a story of a pet frog he had in an aqua
rium that attempted to getaway with a
baby alligator newly imported from
Florida. On coming homo he found
Mr. Frog, who had taken down the small
sauriaa head first, jumping against the
glass side of the aquarium iu vain efforts
to drive down the tail of the victim,
which was t,o long to find room inside
for its accommodation. The frog, like
the toad, has its tongue fastened jn
front and loose behind, so that it can
capture iusects by wbippiug it over and
outwardly. Unlike the toad, however,
it hi s its teeth in its upper jaw. Tho
tond is a higher animal than tho frog,
because it gives birth directly to little
air breathing toads, whereas the frog
lays eggs that produce fish like tadpoles,
subsequently transformed into tho final
shape. The tadpole breathes, through
gills like a fish, has a tail and no legs
and is a vegetable feeder. Tho meta
morphosis it undergoes is one of tha most
marvelous things in nature. If it were
not so common it wi-uld astonish tho
world. Think of a vegetable eating
fish with tail and gills turning into an
air breathing land animal, developing
teeth and becoming a carniverous quad
ruped. Isn't it amazing when you. come
to consider it? A wonderful beast is the
frog, truly. Waihin'jlon Star.

Among the suggested causes of the
stationary condition of the population of
France, is the great mortality from small
pox and typhoid fef cr. Dr. Brouardel
has pointed out that, white Germany
loses only 110 persons a year from small
pox, France loses 14,000, and that the
deaths by typhoid fever amount- to 40,
000. This emphasizes the necessity of
making vaccination and revacci nation
obligatory, and of providing a supply of
pure water for the towns. - Such rente
dies, Dr. Brouar&I affirms, would tare

A Singular Anim il.
At Devil's Bite, that oddly named
chasm in Wyoming, and there alone, is
found tho golden gopher or golden
guide, commonly called tho "fleck o'
gold." The little fellow undoubtedly
belongs to the gopher tribe, and is of a
general golden hue, representing the va
rious shades of that precious metal from
the duller colors of its native state to
the brilliancy given by the stamp at the
mint. The duller colors are blended on
the body while the brighter ones spread
along the back and tail of this curious
little rodent, tho tail being the "fleck o'
gold's" chief prido ana the wonder of
the beholder. This tail is fifteen inches
in length more thau throe times as
long as the little animal of which it is a
dazzling continuation, and gleams and
glistens as it made of tho pure burnished
metal itself. The tail of the "fleck o'
gold" is continually in action ; an action
which has no apparent purpose, except
that of display, the jerks and writhes,
curls and twists seeming to be solely in
tended as a means of displaying tho
caudal appendage to the best advantage.
That the fleck o'gold is vainglorious of
his tail there is but little room for doubt,
for he has been seen ti wrap it many
times around bis tiny body transposing
himself into a ball of burnished bullion,
and then roll over and over, seemingly
in a perfect ecastasy of joy anl delight.

Chickens as Diamond MIuco.

"A few days ago an unsophisticated

a small paper from the depths of an ex
aggerated hand-bag asked me examine a
stone it contained.
"It was a diamond about half a carat
in weight. Tho possessors on being as
sured that it was genuine nudged each
other, grinned and looked as if they had
suddenly acquired possession of a South

fact that tho wife -had discovers I the
