The Sea a Divers Tool Chest.

There is diver at Bangor, Me-, who,
if he had lived thousand years ago,
would have had wonderful story to tell
of water-nixies and the aid they had
given him. He was under the water ex.
aiming an obstruction in front of one OF
the Bangor wharves and wanted pick
axe or crowbar very much but thought it
would take too much time to go for them.
Accordingly he resolved to make one
more attempt at what he desired to do
without either. He had not moved five
feet along the river bottom before he
stumbled over pickaxe that some I'm.
known mortal had at some time los
overheard. Thus equipped he finished
his work without trouble. -Leriston

A nut for the Baconians to crack is
furnished by recent monograph on the
Bacon Shakespeare controversy. The
writer furnishes an elaborate study, states
the San Francisco Chronicle, of the way in
which Shakespeare spoke of beer and
wine, and these passages are contrasted
with Bacon's references to the same sub
ject. Nothing could be wider than the
contrast between the views of the two
writers, Bacon regarding the two bever-
ages from a purely scientific standpoint,
while Shakespeare looked at them in the
humane spirit.
