A Divers Story.

.
fishes an interview with Mr.. Mitchell,
the diver who came so near losing his
lite while at work on q sunken s!oop
off Bakers Island on Tuesday. This
was the fourth time he had been down
to the wreck and the first time since
he got the steam pump to supply air.
When he reached the deck of the wreck
he felt unusually fresh, and after cut
ting away one lanyard he decided to
go down into the hold of the wreck,
where he had not gone. to see if three
coils of new rope which had been
slowed forward were in q position to
be got at without removing the entire
cargo of twenty tons of stone which,
when the sloop went down. shifted
forward into her eyes. He dropped
down through the hatch about five
feet to the floor below, and had gone
but a few feet forward when he felt
the air shut off suddenly, not rs is
sometimes the case gradually, when
the fault is with u weak pump. He
gave the life line n sharp pull as q
signal for more air, but got no reply
and no more air; again he gave the
signal, but got no reply; then he real
lied that something on the sloop, he
now thinks it was the partially empty
water tank, had shifted in tho strong
undertow and rolled onto his hose and
life line, cutting of all his communion
ton with the surface. 1t was hardly
q second before he felt his eyes begin
to protrude, then there was a sharp
pain, as though a knife was drawn
across the forehead. and the top of his
head felt Us though it was pulled off,
and he lost all consciousness. The
next he knew he was stripped of his
armor and the men on board the Ida
May were at work over him. The first
words he heard were: Jack, you
took the ninety-ninth chance out of the
hundredth for your life" The men on
the Ida May said that not hearing
from the diver they became alarmed
and signaled him, and not getting any
reply they began to haul him up. He
came up all right for about SIX feet.
and then caught something. They
eased away on him and then tried
again, succeeding in pulling him to the
surface. He had lost n of the heavy
weighted shoes which divers wear, it
probably having been pulled off when
he caught on the combings of tho
hatchway. Mr.. Mitchell says that he
can remember nothing that he saw be-
low except that he has a confused
memory of seeing the stone all piled
in the bows. On coming to the sur
face the foot thai had lost the shoe
came up first from the effect of the air
in the armor. The tank must have
again shifted its position and rolled of
from his line or his tender would not
have been able to get him up. Wednes-
day Mr.. Mitchell SAID he felt as
though he had been beaten. his flesh
being sore from the tremendous pres.
sure, aud at the same time he had nc
appetite and felt as though he was jusI
recovering from a fever. When he
reached the surface his armor was cut
off and this prompt action was proba'
bly, what saved him, as if time had
been taken to unite il he would have
sut1ocated.

DEATH OF VANDERBILT
SUDDEN DEMISE OF THE GREAT
MILLIONAIRE.

New YORK, December 8.-Wm FL. Vanderbilt is
dead. Without moments warning the message
came for him and he was no more. The gilt iron
cross the gate that leads to the grounds of the
Roman Catholic orphan asylum, on, Fifth avenues
cleaned brightly under the electric lamps Tonight
seen from the grand entrance of the Vanderbilt
mansion, directly opposite, against the sombre
grey of the marble cathedral. 1t was the only
thing on the wide, deserted avenue that seemed
also stricken as with sudden death. The rays of
its brightness were reflected in the windows of the
huge brown stone pile behind whose closed cur
tains one of the richest men in the world lay Dead
stricken suddenly, and without warning
The busy hum of traffic and the noises of the
street were hushed in the block. Carriages turned
out and passers by stopped to inquire if it was
true that the millionaire was dead Being told that
they heard Alright they went their way sObered and
silent, tarrying a minute to gaze pityingly on the
huge stone pile.
Inside servants and friends tiptoed about with
grave and saddered faces. The door bell was rung
almost every minute and the wide portals swung
open to admit other friends who came to mourn
with the mourners. Up stairs, be-
hind the drawn curtains of the
millionaire's bedroom were sObs and tears. The
children of the dead gathered there about his
corpse, and none of them had been with him in the
hour of his death. To none had he had time to
speak word of farewell as he lay upon the carved
bed in the large square room, the windows of which
overlook the avenue from the northeast corner of
the south wing of the building to the left of the
main entrance.
Mr. Vanderbilt looks as if he had fallen into a
gentle sleep. His features were peaceful and as
natural as if he had just ceased talking and laid
down to rest. His death had been as painless as
il was sudden.

THE BRIDBGROOM's CHEST aIAN.n

The custom of bridegroom being at
tended on his marriage by friend or rela
tive, who is styled his chest man." as pr1sa
tioed at weddings in the present day, is OF
great antiquity, descending from, our Saxon
ancestors. In their time, marriages were
always celebrated in the house Of the bride
groom. On the day before the wedding,
all his friends and relations having been in
vited, arrived at his house, and spent the
limo in feasting and IN preparing for the
approaching ceremony. Next came the
brdegrooln's company, mounted on horse
beck, completely armed, who proceeded in
great state and order, under the command
of one who is called the forwistaman, or
foremost man, to receive and conduct the
bride In safety to the house of her future
husband. The bride, in her turn, was ut
tended by her guardian and ether male rela-
tives, led by matron, who WIS called the
bfideswoman, and followed by company
of young maidens, who were called brides
maids. The Saxon forwistaman of the
ninth century is the prototype of tho Eng

ABOUT ELECTRICITY.

ABOUT ELECTRICITY.
Faure's SUCCESS in constructing an ap
paratus for the storage of electricity prom
ises to lead to complete revolution in tb,
application of motive power. 1t has beer
recognized as fact that the storage OF
electricity was possible, and in a small
aud temporary way the problem was solved
many years ago. But the practical appli.
cation of the principal did not como about
until little more than a year ago The
greatest test Of Faure's invention was af-
forded by the recent experiment in several
boxes charged with electricity placed on
board the ocean steamer Labrador, the re-
suit of which, well known, was satisfactory
beyond anticipation. Nothing could be
simpler than the construction of the appar.
atus. A sheet of lead, perforated with
small holes, is coated with red lead on both
sides, and against each face is laid sheet
of parchment The plate is then sewed in
cloth Jacket one corner being left bare
for the purpose of connecting the plates to
establish metallic circuit. Fourteen of
these plates are inclosed in n wooden case,
they are arranged in voltaic piles, and the
positive and negative poles by metal strip
connection with the box. The plates are
covered with acidated water, and the appar-
atus is ready for USE
The interesting feature of this bottled
force is its general utility, the possibility of
applying it to any movable machine as a
motor. 1t promises to solve the problem of
rapid transit in cities along street car ways,
as it can be attached to vans and operated
at comparatively trihing cost. In railway
travel any desired speed can be obtained,
as it will be possible to propel locomotive
at the rate of 200 miles an hour The in.
Production of this perfected principle will
DO of the greatest importance to the bust
ness interests of this and other countries,
and it's application does not seem to be very
remote. Inter Ocena.
