A DIVER DESCENDING TO THE WRECK
The reason we cannot work while the sea IS
rough is this: Even when there is but an
ocean swell the boats rise and fall as much
as ten feet with every wave Now, the divers
life depends on the signal Or "life" line being
kept taut, as it is by jerks on this line that
he communicates his wishes to those in the
boat above; so you can understand how inn
possible it would be to work with this boat
bobbing up and down on the surface of the
ocean at the rate of ten feet in ten seconds
Oh, yes, our men have been all over the decks
of the Oregon. Their first business was to
anchor buoys and set guide lines, so that the
diver need not waste time in cropping his way
about the ship You see, there is no
north, south, east or west to guide
him on the oceans bottom. He drops
down on the vessels desk. Irecisely as spider
drops from the ceiling. He fastens his line
there, and, like spider, continues to lay
lines that will guide him on his return. The
greatest obstacle in the way of the divers
work is the tremendous air pressure required.
which is over sixty pounds to the square inch.
The air pumps are driven by steam power,
which is something exceptional in diving

US with one of the divers who has been down
among the Oregons treasures He was
short, broad-shouldered man with a deep
chest, bronzed face, keen, deeply -set eyes and
square jaws He was inclined to be reticent,
but willingly donned the great copper helmet
and diving armor with its leaden-soled shoes
to enable the artist to make the sketches pre-
sented herewith. After considerable ques-
tioning he described his visit to Mrs Nor
gan's stateroom, in which he expected to find
a sachel of diamonds but was disappointed.

How Congressman Vote.

There are some men in congress whose dis
tinction apparently depends upon the man
ner in which they record their votes. sena-
tor Push's NO sounds like the "Naw" OF an
Infatuated Bowery champion WHO has been
disturbed in his slumbers. Representative
Strait, Of Minnesota, utters his No as if it
were volley of hot shot intended for the
enemy, and as for Judge Symes, of Colorado,
he won't answer at all if the clerk who calls
the roll commits the blunder of saving 'Sims. -
The most graceful AYE" is uttered by Tim.
othy, Campbell, but then he pronounces it
1O" As for old "Joe" Brown, he never
votes without washing his hands with invis-
ible soap in impereeptible water, as if to dis
claim any responsibility in the matter. Sen
ator Edmunds' vote sounds like silent pre-
test against the wiekedness of this world and
grateful acknowledgment Of the fact that he
is not like other men. Senator Teller, who
has much IN his manner of speaking to re-
mind one Of the Methodist exhorter, utters
his mo" as il be were pre,elaiming the doom

which have been developed have been of no
advantage to the artist, from an educational

He said that in cropping for loose packages of
any kind they searched the ceiling and not

of articles were lighter than the water at that

liable packages would be found pressed
against the ceiling Of the saloon, but it being
