the Peruvian coast: diver was at work
on the wreck of Spanish man of-war in
West India waters A safe obtaining So
100000 was the object of his search, and
after hours of patient labor the treasure was
found. While he was shackling heavy iron
chains to the treasure-bo box a dark shadow,
long and motionless suddenly attracted his
attention. Looking upward, he saw huge
spotted shark, twenty feet long, poised above
and watching every movement as cat does
mouse. The diver forgot about the SO, 000.-
600, and walking a short distance, was on
the point of signaling to the tender to pull
him up, when glance convinced HIM that it
would be sure DEATH The shark watched
his every movement and with scarcely.
percepHble movement of his tail, over
Swallowed his victim with his huge proper
tons. Never before had the diver more need
OF GOODNESS and nerve together with his wits
about him. He spied a long layer of mud
close at hand, and he moved toward it. The
shark followed, gliding stealthily toward
him, while a thrill of horror ran
through his veins. With an iron
bar he stirred the mud. which
rose thick and fast above him; the clear,
golden light of the water disappeared, and
the diver escaped. The only scare ever had
with fish was when l first went down off
the South American coast. l had great big
crowbar in my hand, which perhaps fell
about foot or eighteen inches below my
rect Just beneath me lay huge cuttle-6sh
fast asleep. OF course 1 did not see him,
and the crobar went clear through him. The
cuttle-fish has a peculiar mode of attack.
He discharges black humor, which makes
the water look like ink. The first thing
knew it was so black all around me 1 could
not see my hand before my face. couldn't
imagine what had broken loose, and sig
nailed to pull me up. The natives all laughed,
and told me it was only cutUle-fsh. Not
long after the cuttle-ish was worked ashore,
and there was my crowbar gone clear through
him.
You didn't bring up the crowbar, then?'
No, you can bet didn't" II
What are the wages of divers?''
"Oh, they are good. 1 never work for less
than $40 an hour. In Peru I was paid in
soles, called dollar, but only equal to 80
cents in American gold. A marine diver
receives $3.50 to 5000 for making an examina-
ton and report This may take half an
hour, or day or two, according to the con-
dition of the wreck. Then he will work on
shares, take the contract, or by the hour.
never work over five hours a day, going
down about 10 o'clock in the morning and
quitting at in the afternoon. There are
only fiftytwo divers, all told, in the United
States, and of these only eighteen are salt
water or marine divers"

FASHIONS IN THE TROPICS.
South Americans Who Care More for Com

fort and Goodness than for Style.
Correspondence San Francisco Chronicle.
The curiosity of a foreigner quickly leads
him to examine the dress and equipage of his
new neighbors. With regard to the pic
turesque costumes of people living within
the tropics there is much that could be said
1t is, of course. superhuous to say that the
better classes of Brazilans are always de-
Gently or even elegantly dressed from boy
hood, yet the children of the most wealthy
are sometimes introduced to viSi tors without
any clothing but string of beads around
the neck, or a pair of elegant slippers on
their tiny feet, while in the Photographic
galleries one can find few pictures of any
but nude children. Among the lower classes,
boys are frequently never dressed till they
are twelve years old Girls commonly wear
clothing sooner, though the first few years of
their lives pass with only pair of earrings,
which find their way into the ears OF every
female child before she is year old. With
servant women the costume consists OF
long trailing skirt, whose waist is cut very
low around the shoulders, from which it is
constantly slipping. This short-sleeved waist
is often the only under-garment of white,
but, as rule, they are extremely fond of
the gayest colors, and delight to make their
dresses from the kind of print designed to
initiate patchwork. When their children
are dressed at all they wear single, long
sleeve loose garment, which covers the knees
and which sometimes almost touches the
ground. For these shapeless little dresses
black is one of the favorite colors, and the
effect is the climax OF sngularity,
The common shoe is like a Turkish slipper
and consists only of a sole with a narrow
little cap for the toes. 1t never ceases to be
a profound mystery how these little slippers
are kept on the feet, for instead of shutting
along, they raise the foot high'in walking,
and at every step there are two entirely diff
ferent sounds as the heavy heel of the shoe
clicks upon the dusty pavement or comes in
contact with the sole of the bare foot These
slippers are worn by both sexes alike but
never with any description of hose. Even to
those who never have worn any other cover
ing for the foot these shoes are but tire
some things, and countrymen who come
into town often bring their slippers
hung one on each side their cart on
the two upright sticks which are designed to
fasten loads of wood or furniture in secure
position. 1t is true that many Brazilian feet
are small, but those whose ancestors have
for generations worn these slipshod shoes or
have worn nothing on their feet are negroes
or Indians and in order to wear small shoes
many OF them have the heel only come back
far enough to rest under the hollow OF the
foot, thus riyaling the French heels that were
so persistently worn by Dame Fashion only
a few years ago in America.
In some parts OF Brazil the shoe is visible
sign of man of rank, only free negro
wearing the sapato, while the slave walks
barefoot

actor when Judge Tafts card was handed
him.
His Excelency believed the bell-boy and
went away. But wishing to show all posi-

called again at later hour, and precisely
the same message was sent back to him.
Now, on both occasions Booth was in his

His Opinion Of American Wailways.
An amusing incident of the railroad
accident at the stage crossing of the
Kelton coach, last Monday, was the
surprise and shock it gave the Eng
lish Lord and his companion, who had
just arrived there on the stage with
the intention of taking the construc-
ton train that evening for Pocatello.
The train came along as the stage
reached the crossing, when away it all
went off the track and over the grade,
as described elsewhere. The Eng
ishmcn held their breath, and were
speechless with establishment. After
recovering the conversation overheard
was about as follows:
English Lord. Why. my aw! How
perfwectly howwible, baw jowvc!
Howwible! Jack, we must away.
These Amewican railways are not
safe to twavel upon. We must twavel

woad. All! What enjoyment! aw!
They returned to Miller's, and next
morning took the coach for Kclton.

The Editor and His Room.

Denver Tribune
The popular impression that an ed
itorial room is a battle ground, that
editors are being constantly bounded
for copy, that indignant subscribers
rush in with complaints and horse
whips, that the editor is prosecuted
creatures all fallacy. The aver
age editorial room is quiet sort of
place-a spot where loafers are sell
dom tolerated, and where distur-
Dances very seldom occur. The idea
that the foreman is inveteratel v howl
ing for copy is an erroneous one, in
vented probably by some amateur
journalist, long ago, who did not know
that well-regulatcd editors make it
one Of the most important details of
their business never to let their print
crs stand around and charge time.
The editorial room is not luxuri-
Gus spot. but it is invariably quiet. 1t
is especially a rare field for the study
of human character. In the course Of
a brief year every phase of human ma
ture passes before the eye of an editor
in his sanctum, and it Is there that the
cant and hypocrisy of humanity are
most frequently sell-exposed. The
hollowness and rottenness ofpoliticians
are first discovered by the editor, for
he has confident in the editor. And
it is so with merchants, lawyers,
preachers, and every manner of man
who steps into the editorial sanctum.
II they are weak and hypocrtical the
editor is the first to discover it, for the
editorial room is a sort of disrobinp
room for the rest of the word-a
chamber where people come to lay off
their masks and togeerv and display
their blemishes and weaknesses. 70
those who are in the secrets OF the
sanctum 1t is no wonder that editors
are the most confirmed cynics.

A Nav Gun Cartridge,

The inventor Of q new style Of car
fridge for guns exhibited his invention
at an ann0ry In New York the other
day. He claims, says the Herald, that
his cartridge win not heat the gun, that
Il "a sglf-eiectlng, has twice the propel-
ling force powder, and is much cheap
or, II viii also, he says, cost very much
less than metallic cartridges Of gun
powder, and II viii not be injured by
water In appearance the cartridge
looks like Chinese hrGcrAcker with
the red paper taken or lis materials
and mode Of preparation are secrets,
but il looks like paper pulp soaked in
some explosive material and pressed in
to o hard roll, The ball Is attached to
the end Of the roll and the whole thing
leaves the gun together, Oh the SKY
rocket principle II can, he says, BIO
adapted TO amy gun, and will revolu-
tiopi2c the ordnance departments of the
world. The inventor fired one of the
ball cartridges into q spruce log eight
inches thick The ball passed entirely
through the log and two.inch plank
behind it, and Ilattened against stone
wall. After firing twelve rounds out OF
the same gun there was no apparent
heat md no fouling. A more scientific
and satisfactory test will be made at the
state arsenal, probably in u few days,
