How Divers Work Under Water.

The submarine work of the new
Folkestone pier, England, is executed
by two divers, who in reply to the
questions Of the reporter of the E1agi-
neer, have given the following particu-
lars as to their experiences: "On first
beginning to work as divers we felt as
if our heads were stopped up; the
pressure was felt chiefly in the ears
The increase of depth of water when
we are descending is perceptibly felt ];
the difference of level between high
and low water is clearly appreciable.
Eight or ten fathoms ms-forty-eight feet
or sixty feet is a reasonable depth to
work; divers are said to have gone
down 22O feet. At ten feet depth we
feel the pressure, and at twenty feet
can feel the increase, but do not feel
quick or slow variations Of but four or
five feet. In deep water we feel the
pressure all over the outside. of the
Lody, and some divers are said to have
borne a pressure of eighteen
pounds or twenty pounds to
the square inch. When working in
shallow water, there is not so much
pressure in a diving dress as in div
ing bell, because we can regulate the
pressure better inside the dress by
turning the tap SO as to give larger
o-ifice for the escape of the air. We
cannot see far through the glass of the
helmet; when the water is exception
ally clear we can see about twenty
feet, but usually cannot see beyond
five or six feet. Fishes sometimes
come to look at us, and mostly above
our heads, because we stir up the bot
tom, and where the water above is
clearer they wait on the lookout for
any food they can get. If we lift a
hand at them they are off like a shot.
Flat fish near the ground aretoo quick
when we try to catch them with the
hand, but we can spear them some
times with our crowbar. We have
never seen any large fish near; the
largest which any Of us ever saw was
a conger eel, about two feet six inches,
which came near about week ago.
He came alongside quietly, and when
the crowbar was raised toward him he
was off,

Prescription for the tha Cure of Drunlen-
uess.
What an Egg viii Do.

For burns and scalds nothing is
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer as varnish for a
burn than collodion, and being always
at hand can be applied Immediately.
1t is also more cooling than the sweet
oil and cotton which was formerly sup
posed to be the surest application to
allay the smarting pain. 1t is the CON
tact with the air which gives the ex-
treme discomfort experienced from the
ordinary accident of this kind, and any
Thing which excludes the air and pre-
vents Inflammation is the thing to be
at once applied. The egg is considered
one Of the best of remedies for dysen-
terry. Beaten up slightly, with or
without sugar, and swallowed at
gulp, it tends, by its emollient quail
ties, to lessen the Inflammation of the
stomach and intestine, and, by forming
transient coating ON those organs, to
enable nature to resume her healthful
sway over a diseased body. Two, or
at most three, eggs per day would be
all that is required in ordinary cases;
and since egg is not merely medicine,
but food as well, the lighter the diet
otherwise and the quieter the patient
is kept the more certain and rapid is
the recovery.

invited by NJ. de Sartiges to a dinner

Stephens, who went on chatting with
the other guests.
M. de Sartiges went to his dining
room, told his butler not to announce
dinner until that little gentleman in
the parlor had gone, and returned
there. After wa ting a quarter of an
hour, with the full knowledge that his
good cheer was being spoiled, he again
approached Mr.. Stephens, saying:
"Meestear Steven, would you like to
see me about something's"
"No, sirl No, siri'' was the prompt
reply, and, as the disconsolate host
walked away with a gesture Of despair,
Mr.. Stephens said to gentleman with
whom he was conversing:
"What does that mpertinent little
Frenchman mean by thinking that 1
want to talk with him?'
"That," was the reply, sis our host;

to have little chat before dinner"

Silence Rewarded.

An Indian merchant took an ele-
pllant to fair. No sooner had he
arrived than he noticed a European,
who, without saying a word walked
round and round the elephant, examin-
ing it attentively on all sides. The
merchant addressed several questions
to him without eliciting a reply. An
intending purchaser appeared on the
scene, and the merchant turned eagerly
to the European and whispered in
his ear: "Don't say word until I
have sold the elephant and will make
you handsome present" The
stranger nodded assent and remained
mute as before. When the bargain
was concluded and the money paid,
the merchant handed over ten per
cent. of the purchase-money, and said
to the mysterious parsonage: Now
you can speak; I want you to explain
how you came to notice the blemish in
the left leg of my elephant, which 1
thought l had managed entirely to
conceal?" "a blemish r replied the
silent one. II discovered nothing; it
is the first time / ever saw an elephant
in my life and / examined it out of
