Perils and Difficulties That En

THE FEARFUL AIR PRESSURE.
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

Figs Too Heavy to Lift.
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
