In New York city, near the Brooklyn
bridge, mid visible from the proniennilo of
that great viaduct, is u lott. which has
long been a favorite headquarters of tlio
piofessional divers who do business along
this part of the Atlantic coast. The place
Is vcll furnished, cozy and supplied with
nil the latest ideas in submarine, work.
Every day it is visited by the divers, who
come for new orders for work, to obtain
ftsbistnnce upon some hard task, or to pro
cure supplies for their peculiar calling.
One afternoon while a party of friends,
cbieily newspaper men and divers, were
chatting over the news of the day, one of
the nioro popular subaqueous tollers
entered who had been absent some time
from tlio city. Ho joined in the conver
sation, and after nearly every member of
the party had related some experience,
paid: "l do not recall any exciting episode
In my career at the present moment, but
onlv the humdrum of my daily career. I
Mippose, however, that it mny interest
outsiders and so 1 give the story of a day's
work, liist fall oneof theoceau steamers,
in approaching her pier, lost n valuable
anchor and chain cable through the care
lessness or c runkenness of some seamen
on board. The captain of the boat was an
old friend and he sent for mo to recover tho
property. It was not much of a job, but
business was slack ami 1 was glad to get
it. We got everything ready and went to
work a day or two afterward, about 11
o'clock in the morning. We anchored our
boat, got the pump ready, adjusted my
firmur and down I went. You have
an idea that tho water is clear
like the air, but you are away off. It is
dirty, very dirty. Ordinarily yon can sou
about ten feet from you in any direction
sideways. Over your head it is a glare.
Underneath it is as dark as a cave. With
an electrical lamp, the best invention yet
made as far as our trade is concerned,
you can see twice as far, but it is just
like standing by a camp lire in tho woods
at night time. It makes tlio surrounding
darkness all the darker. 1 readied tho
bottom of the Hudson and began walking
around. The iloor of a great river is not
like Broadway, nor even the beach at
Coney Island. It is a great mass of 007.0
or slime, into which you sink sometimes
to your knees, sometimes to your waist
and sometimes over your head. You do
as much work by feeling as by seeing.
This day I struck a lot. of commonplace
things, but under water they interested
even me. One was a mass of telegraph
and telephone wires from New York to
Jersey City. Some were whole and somo
wore broken, probably by tho anchors of
small vessels that hove to over night
just above.
A few nf the broken wires still stuck
out just n.- if they had been pulled so by
main force. All of tlio wires showed tho
effect of their submergence. Some were
half rotten, others were beginning to
decay or rust. Every 0110 bail something
attached to it. Little snails, oyster shells,
seaweed, eel, grass, rags and other water
"logged matter from tho land were a few
of the things attached to the wires. Fur
ther on I came across tho oil pipe through
which the Standard Oil company pumps
petroleum direct from the oil wells of
Pennsylvania to the great refineries in
Brooklyn and Williamsburg. Tlio pipo
was stronger and more accurately made
than the ordinary gas aud water pipes wo
beo in tho city. Vet I thought that if
pomocraft got tlio duke of its anchor un
der it and pulled quite hard then it would
break short and cover the harbor with
crude petroleum. There is a great deal
of wood lying around the bed of the river.
Contrary to public opinion, wood is not
lighter than water. Full of air it is, of
course, but when watersoaked or lotrged
it. nearly always sinks. Its weight is so
close to water, though, that it doesn't
work its way down into the line dirt and
mud of tho bottom. For this reason it is
very apt to deceive amateurs and novices.
"There is another thing that divers see
'under the Hudson, and that is that tho
river is being tilled up through the folly
or ignorance of human beings. Tho great
sowers never stop throwing their vilo con
tents into tho slips. Every steamer, from
tug to ocean greyhound, drops its ashes
overboard. Every vessel does tho same
with its sweepings nnd refuse. Then tlio
ecows, which ought to carry the ashes and
garbage of this city far away, save time
nnd trouble by dumping liiein in dark
nights into tho Hudson.
"There are not very many fishes in tho
North river. There may be, but wo divers
don't seo much of them. Probably they
eo us ilrst and give us a wide berth.
Those. I meet most aro eels nnd littlo
shiners, or minnows. If. however, wo
carry one of those new fashioned incan
descent lamps it acts like a jack lantern
in eel spearing, nnd brings shoals of fish
around. They aro horribly unintelligent,
nnd after studying a fellow live minutes
nnd swimming off they will immediately
retxirn and begin eyeing him again, as if
they hail never seen him before. Wo
never mind them, as they aro harmless,
nnd couldu.'t bo caught by us even if wo
desired to get n good mess of them when
at work.
"Tlio most unpleasant thing a diver
can meet is tho dead body of n human
being. It is a popular delusion that nil
drowned men come to tho surface after
poveral days. Probably they would if
they were left nlone and were not attacked
by wharf rats, eels and Jlshes. But in tho
Hudson they aro always attacked in this
way within un hour or two ufter thoy are
submerged. Once attacked that ends it.
Tho breaking of the hkiu diffuses some
thing, it may bo a scent around, nnd then
everything travels for that body to getn
squaro meal. Iong before decomposition
it is so cut nnd riddled that what gases
uro formed have no chance to nccumulnto
and inllate tho walls of tho abdomen. Wo
divers never totich bodies in this state, be
cause it brings tho worst luck possible
"There is very littlo romanco or beauty
about n diver's life. The white sand
benches and coral floors, tho brilliant
colored fishes und tho exquisite forests of
tho sen that tho reading public never
weary of in Jules Verne and other lying
writers do not exist. It is cold, dark,
filthy nnd dead. Tho first time you go
down there is a novelty and excitement
about it which nre very pleasant. When
these wear off you feel like tho grave
diggers who every morning go to work In
the great cemeteries. You must bo quick,
idert and bober. You must keep your

THE FUEL OF THE FUTURE.
Coal Ground In n t'j clone l'utvprUcr Itlg
I'nrniiro Men I'rnuniutca It a Success.
The steel nnd iron men of tho country,
nnd nil the rolling mill and furnnco men
also, aro interested in the newest rival to
natural gas as a saver of fuel. It was .1
modest little exhibition that was given in
Chester, Pa., the other day, but it proved
pretty conclusively thnt where nntural
gas is not, pulverized coal is suro to bo
ero long. J. G. McCaulcy, of California,
for that is the discoverer's name, claims
to have found a process by which 50 per
cent, of the coal now used in furnaces
and rolling mills will bo saved, nnd steel
and iron greatly improved in the puddling
process.
McCaulcy is ono of tho latest additions
to the array of genius collected by Ernst us
Winian, tho Staten Island millionaire.
Tho Californlan hunted around a good
while in search of n mnn of menns who
would appreciate his invention. Ho could
have had nil the capital he wanted several
years ago, but he wasn't nblo to get coal
pulverized lino enough to spray into tho
furnace, nnd McCauley's process consists
in spraying coal that is pulverized into an
nonpalpable powder into n cumbustiou
chamber attached to tho fttrnaco. The
combustion thnt tnkes place is perfect,
and it is instantaneous, and nil the gases
nro absorbed, bo that nono of tho sulphur
gets into tho iron nnd lessens its value, as
is now tho case. Thai's nil there is to tho
new process, but it docs the work, pro
vided the coal is powdered so lino that
you can blow it nrouud as you can the
smallest particles of dust.
It was at this stngoof tho proceedings
that McCaulcy mot Winian. Tho man
from tho Pacific coast explained his pro
cess to the Staten islander. Tlio latter
said ho would test it, because ho had n
mnchino ho got from two "Wisconsin
farmers that would grind the coal out of
sight if necessary. Two young Wisconsin
farmers wcro plowing when they saw u
cyclono como along safely out of their
way, and tear u town up. They noticed
how tho two currents of nir, moving in
opposite directions, knocked houses, barns
and paving .stones into smithereens. Tho
thought struck ono of them that if that
principlo could bo applied in machinery,
it would make tho biggest grind in tho
world. So the young men, whoso nauio
was Raymond, nnd who wero brothers,
went to Chicago and invented a machine
that they called tho cyclono pulverizer.
Wimnn met the Raymonds and they wero
his, and so was their machine. The Staten
Islander has a fortuno in tho pulverizer,
which has yet to meet n material it can
not reduce to powder, I urn told, aud tho
Raymonds wero paid a fortuuo by Wimau
for their discovery.
So McCaulcy and Wimnn formed n
combination. Wiman's machine pul
verized tho coal aud McCaulcy tested his
process at tho big Chester works. It was
a success beyond doubt, and had it been
put into operation before natural gas was
discovered, it would have had a clear
monopoly of tho Held. It isn't a free puff
to say that pulverized coal t?praycd into a
furnace unquestionably saves tho manu
facturer hundreds of dollars a day. Tho
big furnnco men nt Chester and out in
Ohio say so, and so do ull tho big guns in
tho manufacturing realm who were
present at tho Chester exhibition. Out
sido of tho natural gas localities pulver
ized coal is going to be tho fuel of tho
future. McCaulcy and Wimau uro even
bold enough to say that they will confront
natural gas right in Pittsburg with
sprayed coal. The conflict ought to bo an
interesting one. Certain it is that to tho
industrial world the new process of Mc
Caulcy is tho biggest item of news it has
received for years. Cor. Boston Globe.
Knto Field's "Co-operative" Tlan.
Knto Field is known to bo a woman of
versalilo talent, but is hardly suspected,
by those not intimately acquainted with
her, to have tho qualities thut go to make
a good housekeeper. Sho showed great
tact for that feminino branch of nrt when
sho had a house of her own in Devonshire
street, London, a few years ago. She had
been living for some time in hotels, board
ing houses and lodgings, was tired of all
and determined to 6et up for herself.
Having no desiro to livo ulono, she mndo
a plan by which she would have compauy
aud all tho comforts of a home, and still
have tho bills shared by others. She
called the plan "co-operation," the samo
namo sho gave to another nnd more ex
tensivo undertaking on this side of the
water.
It worked well as far as tho co-operatives
wero concerned they wero nil per
fectly satisfied. She furnished rooms nt
low prices and tlio kind of food that is
longed for if you livo at a restaurant nnd
dreamed about if yon luivo to livo at
home. After dinner every ono found the
drawing room pleasnnter than any other
room in that or any other house, and
thero tho friends congregated, for, of
course, they wcro all friends of tho host
ess. They chatted and played curds until
tho "night cap" hour came round, and
after a mild libation retired to bed "K.
F.," ns sho was fnmlliarly called, made a
success of what sho undertook except ns
far ns sho was concerned. "Co-operation"
turned out to bo only a namo, for it was
sho who did all the work, battled with
drunken cooks, fought tho iroublesomo
trades people, nnd received only in return
unshared if welcomo praise. It is not to
be wondered at if nt tho end of three
months tho project was civen up. New

A Flrn Wurkhljior' Child.
On tho birth of a Parseo child, amaglan

dressed in n strange robo of mnny colors,

tho power of putting evil spirits to flight),
enters the chamber of tho Parseo mother
and babo-aud, betting tho end of his broom
on flro, dunces around, exorcising tlio evil
spirits; llnally be flourishes his firebrand
over tho mother nnd child aud in all the

priest draws a number of squares on n

' ho draws a curious figure of bird, beast,
fish or insect, each of which stands for
some mental, physical or spiritual char

star or planet. Tho mnginn then proceeds
by menus of spells und incantations to ex
orcise uny evil spirit thut may bo lurking
unseen in the blacklioard. Next the lire

says that, although theoretically the
car can travel on tlio track at tho rate
of two miles a miniito, tho difficulties
of tho existing conditions provent the
acquirement of such u speed. At a re

A serious hindrnnco has been tho nil

test, besides tlio unfavorable conditions
of track and bearings, defective insula

with. In spite of these, however, n
speed of sixty miles an hour was ob

drawbacks will all disappear in nctual

How to I'reservo tins Voice.
How to preserve tho voico and keep

ing how to keep from growing old.
Somo people grow old fusterthan others
becauso they nro imprudent nnd do
not take care of themselves. Tho voice
should not bo imposed upon, nnd in

j should remain comparatively fresh for
two and oven four decades. Path s
voico is a lino example of ono thnt has
never boon imposed upon, never been
forced to sing six nights in a week and
onco nt a matinee.
A grand opera singer should sing
only twice a week, perhaps three times
if his or her physical condition war
rants it. Singers should hnvo plenty
of sleep, good appetites, nothing to
make them nervous, and, if possible, a
more or less phlegmatio disposition.
Tho latter they rarely possess to any
great degree. Overwork is death to 11

proved by a life si.o statuo in sponge

supposed to bo endeavoring to secure.
Tlio flguro is composed of numerous
