PROTECTING HIS AIR TUBE. Thi Is Hit Chief Care While Delving In the Debris of Sunken Wrecks. Traglo Debut of John Day, a Clever but Ignorant Old Timer. A great deal of water has run under the bridge since, In the month of June, 1774, John Day made his fatal debut ns a diver In Plymouth sound. Day, ft clever but Ignorant millwright, had laid numerous wagers that, couflned in a water tight box and provided with a candle, food and drink, he would re main submerged at " any. depth for twelve hours. His plan was that the box should be fastened by screws from within to a vessel subsequently sunk and that when the allotted time had elapsed he should withdraw the screws and rise to the surface. His mad scheme was actually put Into ex ecution on June 22, and Day, as might have been expected, lost his life. Not the least extraordinary part of the af fair Is that, while he waB warned how the pressure of the water would affect his box and greatly Increased Its strength In consequence, no one seems to have so much as hinted at the dan cer of his death from want of air. The diver who goes down today to salve the contents of a sunken wreck, recover a dropped torpedo or execute some subrourlne erection or repairs has better knowledge of the necessary risks he ruus and the precautions by which he mny avoid all needless dan ger at his work than had poor Day. (Science, mindful of the great Increase cf pressure brought about by every foot that he descends beneath the sur face of the sea, warns him to go slow ly down the stepladder that bangs from the ship's side or the dock wall mid to pause frequently as he does bo, that he may grow accustomed to the Increase by degrees. By this means a man lit for the work, sound of heart unci free from apopletlc tendencies passes with little inconvenience from the moderate pressure of eight pounds per square Inch, which surrounds him at a depth of twenty feet, to that of sixty-five poundB, which he must sus tain after descending 150 feet the greatest depth at which his work can be considered safe. Once landed at the bottom of the sea the diver has a host of things to bear In mind. Weighted as he Is with brass eolcd boots, copper helmet and often a treble Bet of underclothing below his diving suit of twill and rubber, the tendency to rise Is yet so great that his powers of action are very limited. Ho can lift a comparatively heavy weight with ease; the attempt to pull down some trifling piece of wreckage from overhead will probably take1 him off his feet. Readers of Robert Louis Steven son will remember how when, dressed In full deep sea" costume, he accom panied a diver to his work the novel ist was able to hop with ease upon the summit of a rock some six feet high. But descend agiln he could not. His companion hauled hliu off head down ward nnd propped hliu on his feet "like nn Intoxicated sparrow." Even for such an apparently simple piece of work as drilling a hole In a rock or portion of a wreck the diver will per haps need to prop himself agnlust a stone or make himself secure by lash ings to the object upon which he works. The great dauger against which the diver must be ever on his guard Is that of getting his nlr tube entangled In the debris of a wreck-no difficult uinttor as he creeps In and out of cabin, engine room and hold, among a broken and distorted mass of wood and Iron. lie may have been moving In one direc tion, nil unconscious that he is being helped by a strong current, until he presently attempts to turn and finds It vain. It Is not the deep sea diver only who ruus this risk. Some years sluce a diver was at work In twenty feet of water repairing some dock gates. His ob finished, he gave the signal to the boat above to close the gates that he might see If all worked well. The rush of many tons of water as the heavy gates swung to swept htm between and through them. In a flash he realized that his air pipe would be caught between tho massive doors nnd at the same moment saw his only chance 'r Jle. IIu thtnst Ms heavy hammer dead Between the closing gates, auu (his kept his pipe free till he could signal for thcni to be reopened The old method of communication between the diver and his helpers at the surface was liy means of tuc;s upon the line, but nowadays the telephone or perhaps a speaking tube accompa nies the r.lr pipe at his tide. And, though many divers still work In the comparative darkness, both oil and electricity will shed their light upon the scene If need arise. Sharks are visitors with whom In certain waters the deep sea diver has to count. But the shark Is not always so dangerous a mornlpg caller as might be thought. A diver at work In the cabin of a sunken ship saw, to his dismay, a shark swim slowly In. Tbo diver had no suitable weapon of defense at hand, and flight seemed the only chance for life and a poor one at that. Meanwhile the shark swam to and fro In the cabin as If meditating on a system of attack. The diver made a sudden bolt for the door; the shark as seriously alarmed, It seemed, as was the man did the same and, being unincumbered with cos tume and In his natlv element, got out an easy first and disappeared. London Globe- NEW YORK WAITERS. They Spoiled the Appetite of the Transplanted Citizen. "These New York waiters have got on my nerves," said a transplanted citizen from a smaller town. "Dining In the magnificent hotels and restau rants would be a Joy If some one would kindly remove the waiters while you ate. I can think of nothing but the big, black buzzards that hover over your head In Florida. "There are so many waiters standing around, all in black, and they look so big and get their faces or their hands so close to you and your dinner that you feel like throwing the china at them. When your waiter has disappeared a smaller edition keeps right after you, filling your glass, removing dishes, giv ing you more butter, and if you look away from him the head waiter has his eye on you. "The most maddening thing of all to me Is the way the waiter orders your dinner for you. One took me In hand the other night, and I let him have his way JuBt to see what he would do to me. I hate fish, but he averred that fish was the best thing I could eat and one particular dish was the chef's mas terpiece. He brought It and, ye gods, It was fish all greasy with a dope made of cheese and mushrooms that about finished me; but, fortunately, he only let me take two bites when he whisked my plate away and set down a salad that had several kinds of fruit laced to lettuce leaves, with strips of red and green peppers and French dress lug over that. I barely looked at that when he took It away In triumph and gave me an Ice cream thick with chest nuts and fruits. "Now, I dine on rare roast beef, plain lettuce and never take dessert, so you see how near he came to suiting me. 'Come again, sir,' said he. 'Not If I'm conscious,' said I." New York Times. Blue Drinks. "Champagne Is golden," said a bar tender, "beer Is amber, claret Is red, cream of mint is green, whisky Is brown, punches are white, but you will never, never find a drink that is blue. Doesn't the thought of a blue drink seem unpleasant to you? "Blue drinks could be easily made, but the public would have none of them. Nothing blue would go down with the public. Why Is this aversion to blue so general? Many reasons have been advanced, but none of them is good. One Is that blue, being the color of poison bottles, Incites distaste and horror." New York Press. Even the Haah. Embarrassed In the fashionable res taurant by the menus written lu French, the Wall street man of busi ness exclaimed: "Hang these frolds, entrements and hors d'oeuvres! Bring me a plate of good plain hash If you've got such a thing on the premises." "You mean an olla podrlda, sir," said the waiter In a tone of dignified reproach. "And afterward?" Cincin nati Enquirer. Perhaps He Wai. One pupil whispered to the next, "Our teacher Is a regular duffer." The professor, who had Just put a question to the class, thought the boy was framing a reply and said, "Come, my lad, speak up.

Arc Yow Sure Your Kidneys Are Right? Many rhoaniatio attacks are due to nric aoid in the blood. But the duty of the kidneys is to remove all nrio acid from the blood. Its presence there thows tho kidneys are inaotive. Don't dally with "u-io aoid sol vents." You might go on till dooms day with them, but until you core the kidneys you will never get well. Doau's Kidney Pills not only re move urio aoid, but cure the kidneys, and then all danger from nrio aoid is ended. F. A. Sutton, of 1125 WaterSt., Sa lem, Ore., says: "For ton or twelve years rheninatism and kidney trouble were the plague of ray life and two or three times I was laid up on account of the pains being so severe. I oould hardly move, owing to the lamunoss in my baok and had to leave my farm and como into the oit.y to doctor for the trouble. Nothing seemed to bring me more than temporary relief how ever, and I was lu bad shape just be fore I proonred Doan'B Kidney Pills. My limbs would scarcely support me and 1 could only get around at times with tne greatest difficulty. Doan's Kidney Pills benefitted me at once and when I had used the contents of three boxes. I was tree from every symptom of my old trouble, and my health was better than it had been for yea-s. I can conscientiously say that Doau's Kidney Pills are the best rem edy of the kiud I ever used."
