WORKS IN MUD AND CAN'T SEE,
Diver Stays Below for Several Honrs at
a Time and Labors.
"Yes, I believe that diver gets $15 a
day for his work down on the bottom
of the dock, but he runs the risk of
losing his life fifteen times for every
dollar he receives," said a man on one
of the new Bishop estate wharves yes
terday, as he watched the bubbles
coming up.-
The water bubbles. indicated where
a diver was at work in thirty feet of
water or mud, for. the tide rushing
Into the new dock kept the water
black during the greater portion of the
time. A small barge was moored near
the bubbles, and on this two men were
busily grinding away at the pumps
which supplied the diver with air.
Near the ladder which goes down Into
the water from the end of the barge
sits a man with a rope in his hand.
The diver signals his wants on this
rope, and the man sitting there carries
them out.
The work being done by the diver is
that of placing a new copper sheath
ing on the piles where it has been torn
off through driving them .into the coral.
He has to do his work entirely by feel
ing, as it is impossible' for him to see
through the mud. . When, he wishes
piece of copper four inches square, or
any other size, to cover a break in the
sheathing he signals the size up by
jerks on the rope. Then the copper is
cut and sent down to him. Nothing
can.. be seen of his work above the wa
ter except the rising bubbles, and all
that can be heard is a dull thud when
he hurls his. hammer in the mud and
drives a nail "home" through the
sheathing and piling.
The diver employed is one of the
eldest jn Honolulu. He is, of course
encased in divers' armor, but it is re
markable even then the length of time
he is capable of staying under water
at his work. . Sometimes he only stays
underneath the surface a couple of
hours.but oftentimes he remains under
the surface for six or seven hours. A
rubber pipe leads from the barge pump
to his armor, and through this the air
is forced. It leaves the air-tight armor
suit through a cap in the diver's hel
met, and such force is used in sending
the air" through '.that -he has new air
to breathe about every second. After
leaving thet helmet the air goes into
the water with such-force that as it
rises to the surface it stirs the1 water
up to such-an, extent that one would
imagine that a steamer's propellor was
working down pelow instead of a man.

tarrn Neglected catarrh
; .Becomes Chronic ,
The fact that catarrh will continue
to afflict one person for thirty years
shows how Chronic the disease really is.
When catarrh has once fastened itself
upon the human system, it shows a
disposition to remain. . -;
. . Catarrh is not self-curative nor self -criminative.
' It continues as long as it b al
lowed to remain." ( .
Catarrh is. naturally a chronic disease
and; continues to grow worse, not bet
ter. '
For thirty years Cong. Meekison had
catarrh, and yet het experienced a cure
by the use of Peruna. '
.Surely, if Peruna will cure a case of
catarA that has run thirty years, it
will cure more recent cages.
1 here are probably ten million of uncured
cases of catarrh in the United States alone. -
What a multitude of victims this is!
What an ocean of discouragement and
.unhappiness .What a Niagara of an
guish and suffering!' - ' ; ' ' 1
In all probability Peruna would
quickly cure every .one of these cases.
Taken according to the directions, Pe
runa rarely fails to. cure any, case of
chronic catarrh.
Indeed, if it ever fails, it is because
of. some complication entirely one side
from catarrh.
