Divers are learning TO appreciate the
telephone. At Holyoke dam. recent
ly, the divers were at work under thir-
ty feet of water. and communication
was constantly kept up by telephone
connection with men who were work
ing the air pumps. A wire runs down
to the helmet and passes through its
metal wall to q small telephone. This
greatly facilitates the operations OF

erations Of the hoisting engine or der

of the old turnpike road, in the quaint
village of Cos Cob, two calves can be

their bodies. Around the room are
razors, knives, bundles of quills and
ropes. A man is usually in attend

of the first established in this country.
The quills remain for short time in
the flesh of the calves. AS soon as
they become filled with mucus--vac-
cine, as it is called-they are pulled
out, sealed up air tight, and in time
do duty all over the world, finding
their way to Germany and Australia.
