over and over again. The result is lawless-

cident that occurred there. In the casket

One of the hottest regions of the earth is
along the Persian Gulf, where little or no
rain falls. At Bahrin the arid shore has no
fresh water, yet a comparatively numerous
population contrives to live there, thanks to
the copious springs which burst forth from
the bottom of the sea. The fresh water is
got by diving, The diver, sitting in his boat,
winds great goatskin bag around his left
arm, the hand grasping its mouth: then he
takes in his hand heavy stone, to which is
attached strong line, and, thus equipped,
he plunges in and quickly reaches the bot
tom. Instantly opening the bag overth strong
jet of fresh water, he springs up the ascend
ing current, at the same time closing the
bag, and is helped on board. The stone is
then hauled up, and the diver, after taking
breath, plunges in again. The source of
these copious submarine springs is thought
to be in the green hills of Osman, some 500
or 600 miles distant.
