Coolan was one of the divers who
fished the six hundred bodies out of the
wreck Of the White Star steamer
Atlantic in 1873. The corpses of the
dead were found jammed against the
furniture, crammed through glass sky
lights, hidden away behind staterOom
doors, and always in the most fright
fully conto-ted attitudes. To grOpe into
a cabin Ia the dark and come suddenly
upon the bodies of an entire family
father, mother, and children-inter-
twined in one last embrace, was not un-
common. The most hideous cases and
most trying to the nerves were the
single corpses, hid behind doors, which
tumbled into the divers embrace on his
opening them.

Under the Waves.

"What is the chief drawback of =
divers life?" was asked OF Coolan, a
professional diver.
"Well, should call it the uncer-
tainty. For instance, you go down into
ninety or one hundred feet of water,
with nothing between you and the sur
face except that little air pipe. Ii it
should break or leak, or get cut, it is all
up with you. As long as that whizzing
noise at the back of the helmet keeps
up, you are all right; but let 1t dwindle
or stop, and there's only one thing to
do, to make tracks out of there"
"Have you ever had IL break with

hand over the break, and they managed
to send me down a little more air as |
was coming up. The air inside of the
helmet grew hot and thick, and by the
time got to the top | was gasPing like
fish out of water"
Next to the air pipe, the diver looks
most carefully after the little pane OF
glass which covers his face. The iron
rods, two vertical and two horizontal,
which protect it, are made and fitted
with especial care, so as to afford the
greatest amount of protection consistent
with a clear view. The breaking OF
this glass Is generally equivalent tc
immediate death, the rush of the water
within being apt to choke the victim in
stantly. Peterson tells of a case on the
Atlantic coast. in which diver was
drowned by the breaking of this glass
The man was exceedingly nervous, ant

An Arctic story.

In the spring Of the year OF 1910 a
whaling vessel sailed from the port of
London, upon voyage TO the Polar
Seas. Nothing material is said to have
occurred until their arrival in those
solitary regions, when il became the
duty of the crew to keep perpetual
lookout upon the horizon in search of
fish. While thus occupied it was fam
cied by one of the seamen that a sail
was discernible as far to the northward
as the eye could reach. As the course
of the whaler was towards the supposed
vessel Il mast became gradually distin-
guishable amid the mountain of ice
which appeared in that quarter to
bound the sea. 1t was now summer,
and the afternoon unusually calm,
while the whaler gradually neared the
object in view. the supposition being
that 1t was vessel engaged in opera
ting upon the blubber in bay which
would open to the view upon approach
luS ICdICl w bhC lOV' = pun "iii''' .,
however, at the spot, it became clear
that the vessel was wreck imbedded
in the ice, and could only be APP
preached by boat. This having been
lowered, the captain and several Of the
seaman landed upon the ice and pro-
ceeded to the vessel, which proved TO
be brig. The sails were furled, very
little appeared upon the deck, and all
the arrangements were those of a YES
sci laid up for long period of time.
Descending to the cabin the first object
that was seen was large Newfound-
land dog coiled upon mat and appa-
rently asleep. Upon touching the ami
NAL it was found to be dead, and the
body frozen to the hardness of stone.
Entering the cabin there was next seen
young lady seated at table; her
eyes were open, and gazing with mild
and steadfast expression upon the new
corners to that solitary spot. She was
dead; and in that apparently resigned
and religious attitude had frozen to
death. Beside her was young man,
who, it appeared, was the brother OF
the lady. and commander Of the brig.
He, too, was dead, but sitting at the Ia
Bile, and before him lay sheet of pa
per, upon which was written the fol
lowing words: "Our cook has ende v
ored since yesterday morning to light a
fire, but all in vain; all is now over. "
At the other side of the cabin stood
the cook, with a flint and steel in his
hand, frozen to a statue, in the vain
endeavor to procure that fire which
alone could save'him and his compan-
ions from the cold arms of death. The
superstitous terrors of the seamen now
hurried the captain away from the old
wreck the logbook alone being brought
away, and from this it appeared that
the ill-fated vessel was brig, which
had belonged to the port OF London,and
had sailed for the arctic region more
than fourteen years before.

Pretty Paraguayans.

The prep1nderance OF females is eX
traordinarv. The population of the
country was estimated to be about 22O,-
600 in 1910. The natural rate OF increase
till 1865 would have doubled this num-
Der, but in the subsequent five years'
war the losses may be estimated at half
the population, 10000 males by battle
and disease, and so 900 women and chill
dren by famine and exposure, The
census of 1873 was probably correct,
therefore, in its result, viz, 22O, 600. Or
this number about 2S,700 were males,
and over 1860 females. The popula-
ton is principally Indian, the most OF
the whites are gathered around Asun-
cion. But though their complexion va
ries from that of true black of the rich
brunette OF Castile, all the women look
exceedingly cleanly and even hand
some with their exquIsitely white frocks
and glossy, raven hair, which, like
mermaids, combing. Their figures are
faultless and remarkably erect, never
having known the deforming confines
of a corset; the poise of their heads is
something to excite the envy of Clara
We're de We're, and their pace In walk
ing is worthy of the emulation of Won
Hillern. Yet what they carry is bal
anced on their heads - jars of water,
baskets of Verbd, or bags of nqndtocd.
One meets them every morning coming
to market in single file, all dressed the
same, laughing and talking, with their
naked toes seeming to grasp the ground
owing to the rank herbage, they do not
turn their foot out, as the only track
through the dense grass from house to
another is that of the bullock-wagons,
which is invariably followed, as it is
easy to lose ones self in the tall pampa
grass and underground. The ground
is sometimes covered with tangled
creepers, even In the city which caught
caught us and threw us down, while
branch played havoc with our clothing,
and seemed determined to simplify our
attire. Being convinced of the reason
ableness of that proverb which admits
the propriety Of doing in Rome what
the Romans do, we attended a ball on
Sunday evening, and l was not long in
recognizing a pretty maiden who had
welcomed me agreeably on the steamer
landing. She was again among a crowd
of others, many of them carrying light
ed candles, and few affecting high
heeled boots in addition to the ordinary
robe of calico and linen. AS we entered
the musicians were tuning their instru-
ments, consisting of harp, violin
and a flute; anu as they struck up a
Spanish dance, the ball SOON became
rippling lake of white skirts and CO.
auettish scarfs. But the music was
almost drowned by the laughter. The
Paraguayans find mirth in everything,
as we have said. If a bull runs away {;
if they fall down; if it rains; If 1t shines
small misfortunes as well as good luck
invariably invoke ebullltions of melodi-
| Gus laughter.
