EXPERT DIVERS.

There are doubtless many of nv
young readers who consider themselves
expert swimmers and divers, but won
der If any of them can equal the men
and women that surround the steamers
in many Oriental ports, in the hope of
earning little money by the display of
their skill and activity.
My first experience with these divers
was in the harbor of Singapore. They
were all about the steamer to the num-
Der of a hundred or more, some in little
boats hewn from logs and just large
enough to hold one person, while 9th
ers were in boats containing all the way
from two to dozen. The smallest of
the boats was not more than foot wide,
and the occupant was crouehed on the
bottom OF it i'll a very uncomfortable po-
sition; the slightest leaning to one side
or the other was sure to upset him. and
he took advantage of this fact when it
came his turn to dive. If a coin were
thrown so that it fell near him, he in
stantly doubled and leaned over the
side; the boat turned and dropped him
out, and away he went into the water
and out of sight. The divers from the
larger boats sprang over the side and
went down with the rapidity Of fishes;
some of tt EN- aid not return to their
boats after their first dive, but remained
swimming or floating about until ready
TO go under again.
The water was about thirty feet deep,
and SO transparent that the bottom
could be seen with ease. Nine times
out of ten the coins were caught before
they had gone q dozen feet below the
surface; the only way we could manage
to have the divers go deeply was to pre-
tend to throw the money in one direc-
ton and then toss it the other way.
thus giving it good start. Even then
they would generally seize the prize
while it was on its way, and, having
done 80, would come to the surface al.
most as rapidly as they went down.
Most OF them had assistants to whom
they deliveyed the money, but those
who were working entirely by them
selves carried the money in their mouths
until they could fling them into the
boats.
One of the officers of the steamship
said that the rivalry of the divers was
all q pretense to make the most they
could out OF the strangers, as they were
really associated in guild or company
and whatever the result Of the davis
work might be it would be equally
divided at the end. They were Ger.
tainly well paid, according TO the ORR
entail notions, as most Of the passenger.
emptied their pockets of small coins in
order to encourage the sport. Six

great demand, and some OF the pagsen
gers threw out % occasional shilling

Making Cider Vinegar.

The malic acid of the apple and the
aeetic acid produced from the fermen-
tation of the sugar of the juice are both
wholesome and an aid to digestion, and
the natural desire for these acids, es-
pecially the former, which exists in all
fruits, may be considered as an instinct
i've craving for necessary article of
food, just as the appetite for salt and
sugar is. The formation of the vege-
table acids is one of the curiosities of
agricultural science which shows in 8
remarkable way what very great
change is made in the character of
various substances by the mere adj
dition or subtraction of one or more
chemical elements contained in them.
Thus, the following table will show
how starch is changed into sugar,
sugar into glucose, glucose into alec
hol, and alcohol into vinegar, or acetic
acid. which is the last stage of the
chemical change, excepting putrefac-
ton, when the substance finally disap-
pears in an explosive gas:

times they refuse to dive for conne,l
money, under the pretense that t6sri

touch nothing but silver, and traveller
may tempt them in vain with the hssa,.
currency. After the steamer has gona
they proceed to gather up all the eonns,a
that has been thrown out, and BY tb;sI
shrewd device their gains are largslvl
increased.
All the divers were young, the oldesk
being not more than twenty-five wears
old, while many were not far from te,,
or twelve. One of the best divers was
n girl, perhaps fifteen years old. ami
the passengers tried to throw the coins
so that she would have better chance
for them than any of her rivals. Sba
certainly made a larger harvest Of sir.
pences than anybody else, and we wefa
all sorry when told that she would s.
compelled to divide with the rest az tha
party. One of the passengers threw or
small brass ring as far as he eonld
project it from the side of the shin. and
offered shilling to the one that found
it. A dozen of the divers went in mr.
suit and it was brought in by the GIRL
who received the promised shilling and
two or three others with it.
These divers were all of the Malev
race, and it is said the majority Of TIA
inhabitants of the Malay Peninsula. q
rather of those dwelling along liz
coast, are able to SWIM the first tire
they arc placed in the water. Whether
! this is true am not prepared TO say. but

as they could walk and with the sasna

The pearl divers of Ceylon are 4
famous race of men. They 90 down
with the aid of a large stone fastened
to arope, and as soon as they loose theirs
hold the stone is drawn to the surfase
and made ready for use again. Each
diver carries bag to hold the oysters
and knife with which he detaches
them from the rocks; if sharks happen
to be around the knife is used to defend
its owner, and it generally succeeds. All
skillful diver will go down fifty times u
day where the water is forty feet Deep
and he remains from minute to nina
ute and half below the surface each
time. Occasionally diver win stay
down more than two minutes, but such
cases are rare. The work of the pearl
diver is very exhausting and he rarely
lives to an old age; but, in spite Of this
there is always an abundance of men
ready TO engage in the business. 7Aa.s

cause they reflect the warm rays of

shrinking of the boards underneath,

A Bad Speaker.

Archbishops are not made for their
eloquence, but on account of their
Judgment and executive ability. One
OF the arehbishops of Canterbury,
Howley, who died in 184S, was distin-
guished as bad speaker.
The following anecdotes illustrate
what he could do in the way of spelling
speech. With most delicate and
almost fastidious taste as to style, he
was always making corrections in his
speaking as some writers do on their
manuscript, fatal fault in speaker.
Thus presiding at an anniversary of
the Clergy Orphan Girls school at St.
Johns Wood, he delivered himself
thus:
''No one can see--(corrects HIMSELF
can look upon--these respectable
looking girls i corTects himself )-these
nice-looking girls (correctS himself -
these good girls (corrects HIMSELF y
these female girls
Here there was a suppressed litter,
under cover of which the speaker hur-
ried on to the conclusion of his SEN
tence, not recorded
He used to rub his hands anxiouslv
together while speaking, as if he were
washing them. L have seen him twice,
and once saw bishop initiate him to
the life.
There is story that he used to be-
wall his own nervousness as a speaker,
and that one of his chaplains recon-
mended him to shut himself up in tho
Addington dining room, and address
the chairs, imagining people in them.
Glow did your grace get onPn he
was asked after the first experiment.
'Well, you see, think I got on very
nicely at first, but all at once | caught
sight of that high-backed chair there in
the corner, and he looked so formida-
BILE that he put me out, and thenI broke
down. ~ Youtb's COMPANION.

The Neglected GARDEN.

"Father, don't like to go to school,
said Harry Williams one morning; 4
wish you would always let me stay al
home. Charles Parker's father don't
make him 90 to school,"
Mr.. Williams took the little boy By
the hand and said kindly to hint

something in The garden"
Henry walked into the garden with
his father, who led him along until
they came to bed in which peas wsra
growing, the stems supported by thin
branches which had been placed in he
ground Not weed was to be seen
about their roots, nor even dis6guring
the walk around the bed.
'See how beautifully these peas are
growing. my son. We shall have an
abundant crop. Now let me show sou
the peas in Mr.. Parker's garden. We
can look at them through great hole
in the fence.n
Mr.. Williams then led Henry through
the garden gate and across the road W

Here it is seen that by adding an
equivalent of water to starch it is
changed into cane sugar; one more
equivalent of water changes cane sugar
into glucose. BY breaking I'D one
equivalent Of glucose into two parts
and taking from them four equivalents
of carbonic acid-which, it is well
known, escape in the alcoholic fermen-
tation-there are left two equivalents
of alcohol. One equivalent of alcohol,
then, loses two atoms of hydrogen and
gains one of oxygen, and becomes
vinegar, or acetic acid; and it is exceed
ingly curious to see how, after all these
changes, three equivalents of vinegar
are precisely alike in composition to
one equivalent of glucose, or fruit
sugar.
Every one of these changes occurs in
the production of vinegar from apples.
The starch and acids Of unripe fruit are
changed into sugar as the fruit ripens
by the addition of oxygen, chiefly from
the air; and. indeed, this addition OF
oxygen takes place in the exposure OF

here, in concluding these remarks, ii
might be said that, while ripe fruit is
extremely wholesome and even nutri-
tious, the use of unripe fruit is positively
hurtful and dangerous, as some of the

A White Wreath and Veil.

A RUNAWAY BRIDE FROM CAROLINE
COUNTY CREATES SENSATION.
The early train from Richmond yester-
day brought to this City runaway couple
from Caroline county, Va. AS they enter
ed the depot the bride, a blushing country
girl, became at once conspicuous Object.
Her dress being somewhat abbreviated
displayed stiffls starched white ruff ,,
while her hatless head was covered with
wreath of white artificial f>wers. From
this wreath there fnated an enormous
white veil. The couple for moment we're
at a loss as to their next movement but
some sympathetic persons soon found out
that the City Hall was the object Of their
hopes. A haDsOm was procured and the
couple were driven to the building where
marriage licenses make glad the heart of
man-and of woman. Here they registered
their names as Willie Grimes and Emma
Grimes. A minister was soon on hand and
the couple were made one. Returning to
the depot they spent an hour In loving
communion in the waiting groom. and
then took stroll through the Smlthson-
ian grounds. the bride still hatless and her
veil waving In the cold northwest wind.
She said that she must have forgotten her
hat, and seemed perfectly Indifferent to
the cons quence of bare head. The only
reasons assigned for the runaway were fun
and desire to give the old folks some
thing to talk about Washington Post.
