1'DEEPjH DIVER
Perils Against Which the Modern
Expert Must Guard.
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. Perhaps you are
right."-Pathfinder.

RHEUMATIC FOlKS!
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."
