'No. Are yon after some one named

"Tour query Is a natural one under

"That's right, .young man; that's

'The opcratlou of dressing a diver ro
quires two distinct movements, one
I'taklne; place on the deck of the ves:?.e!
or platform from which he Is workiirr.
tho other at the bend of the ladder ia
which tho diver descends to the deptis
below. It is a business that requires ;i
good deal of time, for the diver's life
depends on just how carefully ca-h of
the several things ure done, and no
one sacrllice3 thoroughness to spo-td.
The diver always Ins a comfurta'ife
place to sit ou before he begins vemcv
lug Ills shoes, after which he draws on
a long pair of heavy woolen stoeklnr
over the legs of trousers. Over these
again he pulls ou another 'pair of
trousers, and then he draws on tlu
lower part of his dlvins suit proper.
After that is done lie is in the bands of
ills valet, who Is nlso tho man who
tends the air pipe and signal rope after
-4be diver has descended to the bottom
tof the sea.
One of the curiosities of this opera
tion Is the immobility of tho man who
is being dressed. He sits perfectly stT.
with bis hands clasped between bb
knees, rarely spcnklng, his eyes fixe.'.
ou some distant point as though he
were absorbed In considering some
weighty problem.
Mcunwhlle the valet haB been dra-.v-Ing
the rubber suit up on the diver's
arms and part way upover his chest,
and then he slips down over his head
the steel cuirass that 'keeps the pres
sure of tho water away from his chc-t
and nlso serves to support the weight
of the copper helmet on his shoulders.
At this point In tho operation the tin
can comes Into use, nud the valet takes
from It the brass thumbscrews that
conflnc the upper edges of the dlvi:.;
suit between the cuirass and tho four
steel bands that are fastened outsl.'.c
of It. Then tho vnlet puts a black silk
skullcap ou the diver's head, and the
diver waddles over to tho head of the
ladder after a pair of heavy rubber
hands are slipped over tho rubber ei:,'.'.
of tho suit, for the diver works w::'.i
bared hands.
Then come the fiunl touches of V...
costume, which arc always made :'.r
near tho head of the lndder as poss'.h'c.
for these operations consist of puttl-
ou the weighted shoes, the w-eigh'.-:.
breast belt and the copper helmet. ri'.'.
diver slips his feet Into the shoes u

Then he bends down, resting his arias
on the head of the ladder, while

squares of lead, Is buckled around h'.s
breast and across blB shoulders.
The signal cord is fastened to i'a

then the signal is given to the man at

I trovfc'to imitate God by erecting four
oven heavens apartments to ho built.
The first was constructed of glass, 000
by BOO yards, Btoring therein mock Im
ages of the sun, moon and stars. The
second compurtment of iron, 1,000 by
1,000 yards, was tho receptuclo of pre
cious stones, causing a terrlllc noise
resembling thunder when they crashed
against each other and tHe casement ot
the lncloaure. The third chamber ira.
of lead, 1,000' by 1,500 yards. The
fourth was of tin, 2,000 by 2,000 ynrV
The fifth, was of copper, 2,000 by 2,l!00
yards. Tlio sixth was of silver, 3,f".J
by 8,000 yards. The seventh was n:
gild, 8,000 by 3,500 yards, contal:..:r.
precious stones, pearls and a nian:..
cent .throne. A channel of water hlp
orated tho apartments.
Hiram, Imitating the royal splcnd-:
of tho court of Kin, Solomon, s'ir-
rounded himself by the grandest con
ceivable display of maguiflcencc. Ir.
the seventh apartment was stationed a
golden bed, tho corners of which were
set la pearls without value in all tlie
world, sparkling forth beautiful flushes
resembling lightning, which spre:i-.i
wonder and terror among his -subject..
Tho prophet Exoklel was ordered t
appear bet'oro 1-Ilram, who, at a ln.-i-
as to how to reach tlio seven heaven ;
wherein the monarch presided, wa-
transported Into his hustle by tho loets
of his hair. Lpou pereelvlug die di
vine messenger llirnin trembled. "Who
art thou?" thundered the ludlcmnut h:u
binger of future events. "Why dor.t
thou bonst? Art thou not born of wo
man's womb?"
"I am," replied Hiram, "but I live
forever. Like -God dwelling over wa
ters, dwell I. Like him reigning over
seven heaveus, I rule In seven apart
ments. As God Is surrounded by light
ning and thunder, so am I. God has
stars In heaven; so have I. Many sov
ereigns have succumbed to mortality
and I still exist. Twenty-one kings of
the house of Israel and David, twenty
prophets and ten high priests have de
parted this earth, but I outlive them
all."
"Why dost thou boast?" again de
manded Ezeklel.
"Because thou didst supply the
cedars for Solomon's temple? This
puts me In mind of a subject who pre
pared a splendid garment for his sov
ereign, and as often as the servant
gazed at the glorious piece of work be
boastlngly remarked, 'This Is my
manufacture,' until the king, observ
ing bis vanity, tore it off In disgust.
Such will be thy lot The temple
which thou helpest to build will be
destroyed. What will then become of
thy pride?"

Scotland and Whisky.
"One of the grossest misconceptions
from which Scotland suffers," says a
writer, "Is that her national drink Is
and always has been whisky. But this
is Just as untrue, neither more nor less.
as thnt the national garb of Scotland
la the kilt. Whisky, like the kilt Is a
purely Celtic or highland product and
up to the middle of the eighteenth cen
tury it was just as unfamiliar In the
lowlands as the clan tartans. It was
only After the '45 that the hlghlanders
began 'to settle In the lowlands and
bring their whisky with them, but be
fore that the national drink of the
lowlanders bod been ale. Tam-o'
Shantcr and Souter Johnny got 'roarin'
fon' not on whisky, but on strong
beer."

Fable teaches that the fates were
three goddesses, holding, one a spindle,
another a -distaff and the third a pair
of shears. They spun the thread of
human life, then cut it off, and men's
destiny was either happy or unhappy
according to the texture of the wool
employed by these Inexorable deities.

A Good Ilorac'a Color.
A good horse cannot be n bad color,

winners are not drawn from certalu

Has there ever been a thoroughbred of
the latter type? Quito black thorough

Tliu Porconliic tlulllN.
The splues are very loosely attached
to the porcupine, and they are very
sharp as sharp as a ueotile at the
outer end. At almost the slightest
touch they penetrate the nose of a dog
or the clothing or tlesh of a person
touching the porcuplue and stick there,
coming nway from the animal without
any pull being required. The facility
In catchiug hold with one end and let
ting go with the other has sometimes
caused people to thluk that the spines
had been thrmvn at tbenO The outer
cud of the spines, for some distance
down, Is covered with small barbs.
These barbs cause a spine once imbed
ded lu a living auimnl to keep working
farther in wilh every movement of the
muscles, so thnt It Is not a pleasant
thing to get stuck full of them.

continued, "many unhappy. Had It not
