HOT AN EASY OCCUPATION Dap-tta Dlvr May With Muoh Truth 6ld Centtantly to "Walk j With Dtath." How doa a deep-ita diver feel wha ha puti on hli divine suit T Copt. 0. A. W. Monckton tells us In "Some Kxyerienccs of a Nar Guinea Resl 4tot Mttrt" that the feeling Is by no means pleasant The moment the faco glnss Is ertvred tight, he says, and the air pump begins to work, tho dlvor-feola that he has a grievance. As ho do ceads h feeling becomes more post Uve until he is in a fury of rngo against everyone In general and usual ly against one person In particular. At the bottom ho spends much of his time wondering how soon tho dress can be taken off so that he can Injure the person against whom he has the tmaglnary grievance. ITowevcr, the momeot the face glass is removed, and the diver breathes tho ordinary air, the bad temper leaves him, and be wonders what caused his anger. The diver's greatest danger is that of being drowned when he Is on his way to the surface. After a tlmo, It seems, the best of diving dresses bo comes leaky, and the water thnt finds Us way through tho seams Bottles round the feet and the legs; illvors become accustomed to having their dressee fllled with water up to the kneee and even to the thighs. How- ever, whea a diver who has water In the bottom of his suit is being hauled to the surface he may Involuntarily or accidentally allow his body to t0' coast hodsoutal, and if ho doos so the water at once rushes Into his helmet, stands htm on his head and stomas him. Youth's Companion. UEQEND MANY CENTURIES OLD Wry ef the "Wandsrlna Jew" Has Been Cemmen te All Peoples Inee the Cruolflxlon. It is an ancient legend, that of the Waaderlng Jew, and the earliest men tioa I can find of it Is said to ho an account related by an Armenian blah p in 1328. It has been exploited by the novelist, the playwright, the poet aad tho historian, for It is a subject replete with fascinating thrills. Talea have differed as to the Idfntttj of the Wandering Jew. One relates that he was Kartaphllos, a doorkeper la the Judgment hall of Tontlus Pilate, who, when the Man of Sorrows was passing through, struck him, saying, "Goon faster, Jesus," and the rcplwas. l am going, but thou shall tarry till I come again." A German legend takes it up and relates that In tho year 1547 the Jew appeared in Hamburg, giving his name as Ahaauerus, saying thnt he had been a shoemaker In Jerusalem at the time of the crucifixion. When Jesus paused at his door to rest the cobbler pushed Htm away, bidding Him leave, to which the reply wast Truly I go away and that quickly, but tarry thou till I come again." And this tradition has It thnt the condemned man, going from country te country, speaking nil languages, wandered throughout the centuries. Kagene Sue depicts this artisan of Jerusalem as pale, with the single line of his black brows crossing from tem ple to temple, ever urged by the avenging Deity, who cries, "Go on, go on," but shows him as repentant and with hope of final rest. Krederic Has hla in the Chicago Dally News. Violin Strings. JUch string in a violin Is of a diff erent thickness, according to the tone and tension required. The fourth string Is covered with fine wire, either a white metal or real silver, hence It is often called the "silver string." Ylelss, violoncellos and double-basses have each two covered strings, the object being to insure a lufflclent gravity of tone without having too cluaisy a material. The covered strings on the guitar are upon a basis of silk instead of catgut. The best gut comes from Italy, which has been famous for centuries for this prod uct. Strings are carefully selected and graded as to site so thnt they shall be uniform. The larger strings for the bigger Instruments are stretched on frames for three or four days. The covered strings are finished on a spe cial lathe which covers them with flow silk or fine silver-plated copper wire, or even silver. Scientific Ameri cas, Net M "Leone- After All. A shrewd lunatie, an Inmate of an asylum, had a shilling which he hid one day la a hole. The attendant was watching him, so be went after him to the place, took the shilling and put a strpioce la Its stead. Next day the patient came to sefc)i shining, and whea h examined it ha said : "You must be la conmrefcihuj, You're get tlfif s small and lUtf' 8 put it back IntVthe1 hole. The attendant, wbo'bad been watch lag, went again, took the sixpence and put a sovereign In Its place. On the following day, when the lunatic came to see his coin, he looked at It and said l "I fear you have yellow Jaundice this time. I must take you home and mind you." Bo saying, he put the sovereign In bis pocket and kept It. The warder Is still studying the prott and loss account.

Conquering Legions Carried the Eagles to Vlotory In Practically Rvsry Known Land. In tho early days of Its history the republic of Home consisted of a city, but wars of conquest extended its dominion over the whole Italian pen Insula. For centuries only the cltl tens of Rome had a vote in the elec tion of the ruler. The republic was a conquering state, and extended Ro man power as far north and west as Spain, tho British isles, Belgium, and Germany, and as far east as the Black bob. At first the army consisted of levy of cltlxens. As Rome came to need raoro than one army at once and warfare grew more complex a stand ing force was built up, and it was largely because of Its superior equip ment and discipline that the armies of the barbarians, often superior In numbers, were defeated and crushed, The unit of the Roman army of that tlmo was the legto, translated Into English, the legion. It corresponded to a regiment In our army but was much larger, for a Roman legion contained from 4,000 to 0,000 men. Thoy were hoavy Infantry with some cavatry, The legions comprised the first-class troops, wbtto the auxllla, or auxiliaries, wore the troops of the socond class. At tho time of the death of tho first emperor, Augustus, In the year 14 A. D tho Roman army consisted of 30 such legions. This heavy infantry lost much of its importance when the bar barlan Invasions altered the character of ancient warfare and made, cavalry, a moro important arm than Infantry In the Into Third and the fourth cen turies. The word legion came to express any large number with the accessory Ideas of order and subordination. HIQH VALUE Of SAND BATHS Prom Findings of Danish Medical Men, It Would Seem Their lmpor tance le Undereetlmaled. From the earliest history of man baths of hot sand have been used to rellore bone and Joint disease, e- poclally gout and rheumatism. Faber and I'lura, In a Danish medical Jour nal, tubulato the findings during and after tho sand bath in a number of cases as regards the pulse, respiration, temperature at different points of the body and tho blood pressure, urine nnd changes In weight as well as the effect on the pathologic condition. Their conclusions are to the effect that tho hot sand bath seems to com blno with tho benefit from the beat- reducing palu and stimulating local circulation a direct action on the muscles from the weight of the sand. Tills rvluxei tho muscle and tends to break up the various circles of pain and muscle contraction. This relaxing ef fect on the muscles from the aheer weight of tho sand has been over looked before, they think, but they regard It as an Important factor in the effect, promoting resorption as well as combating the possibly unsus pected hypertonia In the muscles. An other advantage of sand baths Is that they can be graduated with precision to fit conditions In tho weakest. The only contraindications are febrile dis eases, valvular defects, great Instability of the circulation, and possibly anemia and asthenia. Wise Animals. A polar bear In a zoological park nsed to sit on a rocky peninsula that ran out Into a water-filled quarry. Visitors were In the habit of throw Ing buns Into the water and some of them flouted on the surface. It was often easy for the bear to collect half a doten by plunging into the pool, but be soon discovered n moro Interesting way to get them. At the edge of the peninsula it scooped the water gently with Its huge paw and made a current that brought the buns ashore. An elephant In unotber garden used to collect pennies from visitors. When It got a penny In Its trunk It put It In the slot of an automatic machine which delivered up a biscuit. The an imal rejectvd every other coin. Embarrassing MomsnL One evening my friend and 1 went to church. As It was raining we both wore our rubbers. We had to go upstairs In the bal cony becauso the lower part of the church was tilled. My friend took his rubbers off and one of them accident ally fell through the opening In thd railing. The dirty wet rubber bit a bald-headed man squarely on the top of his head. He turned around and gated at us long and hard. So did everyone else. We made our escape hurriedly with profuse blushes. Ex change. Temperature ef Coal Mines. The bureau of mlnea says that coal mines are not wanner In winter and colder In summer. The heat of the earth Increases one degree for every 100 feet of depth. Coal mines are not usually very deep and therefore not affected to any great extent by the heut of the earth. The temperature of the mine depends upon the loca tion and the depth. Felt It Was Being Overdone. Some playmates came early one morning to spend the day with Betty. All went right merrily until about four o'clock In the afternoon, when Bet ty's eyes begun to droop for want of her ufternoon nap.

Mr. Williams has been the committeeman for Oregon for fourteen years, and is a can didate for re-elecliou. There is no good reason why he hhould Hot be re-elected; there are good reasons why he should be, the most obvious and uuamwerable of which is that he has a high place with the committee, is on terms of intimacy and confidence with the national Icadcrx of the republican party, is in line for the national chairmaiudiip, and can, and doulitlexs will, perform ticrvicc which 110 new man, what ever his qualities, can possibly perform.
