It Csusss Exhilaration After ths First Painful Sensations Pass Awsy Ths Grsat .Dangsr Lies In Coming Out of the Lock Into the Open Air. Laboring ou the nrm earth, wltb "all out of doors" to breathe, perspiring aud 'mayhap grumbling at one's bard luck, a person seldom If ever stop to think that mou work day after day deep dowu iu tbe water or. the mud, with none hut ur;lhVlal light to guide their movement und only tbe air that Is pumped to tbeiu to breutue. People wbo work In tbe open air would have only to labor for a very abort time In a diver's suit, a caisson or a u air lock, getting a taste of wbat ft la like and bow It feela, to be cured whatever of grumbling at tbelr lot and thank their lucky stars that It baa been ordained that tbey work on top of the earth. Tbe work of a diver, bis sensations while under water and bla experiences have often been written about, but those of tile air lock aud tbe caisson worker buve nut Wbfle be does not face the danger of fouling pipes and linen, us does tbe diver, be stays down longer1, gets warmer, and bis great dan ger lies In the stagnation of blood and paralysis resulting from the change of atmosphere While tbe uiau working on tbe sur face of tbe earth bears up an atmos pheric pressure of fifteen pounds to the Inch, men In the locks bear a pressure of from fifteen to fifty pounds of com pressed air, according to tbe depth. Tbe heaviest pressure ever worked un der wus borue by five divers on tbe Swedish coast elxty-flve pounds. Four of these died a few minutes after com ing out While, us a general thing, tbe diver stands not uearly tbe amount of pres sure aud seldom stays down more than two hours, the men In tbe Hudson river tunnel stood a pressure of forty six pounds and worked In four hour shifts Some men stuj'ed down tweuty hours lit u stretch, but did uot work nil the time, and Superintendent lluskius Stayed dowu once twenty four hours. The sensations experienced are pe culiar. When a mun nrst steps In there are a ilnuliiig lu the ears aud a pain In the head, aud when he talks It 1 Addition Is apparently through' the nosel Tuts f caused by the pressure, and the remedy Is to hold tbe oose, close tbe mouth and blow axalnst the ears. This re lieves tbe palo and stops the sensation. When tbe pressure la all on the worker feels all right and experience no dis comfort Then there IS a sort of ex hilaration, and a man does more work In the lock than be could do outside. Tbe danger Ilea In comlug out of the pressure Into tbe open air. It Is then tbat a man Is apt to suffer from stag nation of the blood and paralysis caus ed by the change in tbe atmosphere. Ilesldes this, a man may be attacked lu tbe bead or stomach wltb severe pains Three out of five rose where the bead and stomach are attacked re sult fatally Another severe muludy resulting from tbe change is what Is in lied tbe "bends." This Is the air getting In between the flesh and the bone It Is etxremely painful aud so severe that a quart of whisky administered In bait au bour would nut Intoxicate the pa tient Tbe stagnation aud paralysis are tbe worst duugers and do tbe work quickly. .Many men bave been keeled over by these causes, and not a few die. Old timers at tbe business some time get caught Tbe remedy for this paralysis la a quirk return to the air lock Tbe men as a general thing do not reuinln a great many years at the busi ness, end a man should never work at It after he Is forty years of age. . Cutting a hole and building a tunnel through water Is an extremely difficult thing and hy uvtny waa thought to bo Impossible. Still It waa dune In tbe 'case or tbe liurtson river tunnel, and the method Is very Interesting. The work on the tunnel bad pro gressed until a body of water was struck How to tunnel through this hole of water was a puzzling question. It whs done In this way: A so called balloon was constructed by making a netting of wire rope and covering this netting wltb canvas. Tbe Interior of tbe balloon was then filled wltb blue clay aud salt bay. When filled the bull'ioa, thirty feet In diameter, weigh ed 140 tons. The hole of -water was then located, and wltb tbe aid of a hut-'f steam derrick tbe balloon was dropped Into tbe bole. Tbeu several scow loads of dirt were lumped down on to the balloon and tbe whole thing left to settle. At tbe end of ten days the work of cutting tleiugb the balloon was be gun This was a very difficult Job. An Idea or what hard cuttlug It was may be Liilned from tbe fact that It took two mouths to die through tbe thirty feet.--8t Louis Utobe-Democrat Te Spinster's Jest.

There Is a fig tree In Oceania with small leaves and flowers, but which bears fruits which are perhaps the lar gest borue by any tree on earth. These round fruits are sometimes so large that a man cannot lift them. Tbe ker nels are eaten roasted like chestnuts, bnt they are not easily digestible. Then there Is the Jack of the Indian archipelago, with a huge trunk and dense foliage on the broad branching summit, whUe the fruit measures eight een Inches by fifteen. On anotber tree the leaves are one and a half feet long and one foot wide. Philadelphia In quirer. The Subtle Difference. An earnest defender of things Irish asserts that the traditional bull of Ire land Is not. ns Is commonly supposed, the expression of a blundering Intelli gence, but, on tbe contrary, shows the exquisite feeling of the Irish for fine shades of meaning. The trouble lies in tbe ears tbat hear it "If ye were to be killed crossing a fence ye'd be nil riyht." said a looker on to a fox hunter whose horse had turned head over heels in the middle of a level pasture, "hut If ye were killed on the Hat o' the field ye'd never hold up your head again!"
