THE DIVERS DRESS.

EDescription= which VIII Give Land
Lubbers an Idea Of tho Outfit.
II any one has seen diver in his
submarine suit bobbing up from the
water with his glistening, immense
round copper helmet, with its square,
clumsy man-fsh-like canvas suit.
usually stained by use and iron rust
and sea water to brownish, yellow
ish gray. something the color of the
devil fish. he may at first have been
somewhat startled by the apparition.
The being who thus rises from the sea
Is not a mischievous creature. but, on
the contrary, a very useful member Of
society, when his services are-re-
quired and brought into requisition, A
description OF his dress Is something
like this: From the helmet projects a
coil of snake-like rubber hose, a sort
OF antenna. which passes through the
water, connecting with an air-pump
on foat-stage or In a boat, the pump
manipulated by two men, and furnishes
compressed air for hts breathing when
under water, which ekhsnsts into the
water by a valve in the helmet, ena-
bling him to breathe continually fresh
air, while, when he comes to the sur
face the windows of his helmet can be
opened aud he can breathe with
out the assistance OF the air-pump.
When he goes down into the water
he has two means of communication
with those above, the hos and the life
line.By the latter he also descends
and comes up when necessary. BY
each Of these he gives and receives
signals mutually understood. three
sharp pulls on the life line indicating
that he is ready tosascend. In order
to overcome the natural buoyancy OF
his body and make its specific gravity
such that he can readily walk about
ON the bottom Of the sea, he wears
shoes with soles heavily weighted
with lead. The upper part of his
body Is protected. as Is also his lower
half, by means Of heavy canvas cover,
ing, consisting Of jacket with sleeves
and pantaloons with examinations
which fit closely with elastic bands
clinging to the flesh, the jacket fitted
closely to the helmet with metallic
bands bolted together, with rubber
gasket between. No water or air. can
get to him, except the latter, by the
hose, unless he opens the glass win
dows of his helmet, which hessis not
likely to do unless occasion requires.
Additional weight Is placed at his
chest and back Sometimes breast
plate and shoulder-plate OF lead, some !
times a belt heavily weighted, which
can be thrown on or of the shoulders
and hang down in front and behind
when in use.-Providence Journal

Gladys de Montmorency reclined on
an excellent upholstered ottoman in IA
houdoir the furnishing of which must
have cost a good deal of money.
There was~ q PARKWAY look in her
eye; there was PARKWAY look in her
other eye.
She WAS thinking OF one who was
dearer to her than life. She was
thinking pf : the splendid Count
Bologni, with his-lustrous Italian eyes
and of the excellent chewing-gum he
had given her.
She was summoned to the library,
where her father. the opulent banker,
stroked her silken hair and said:
:. Gladys, the Count has asked for
your hand.
That's business. father; there are
no flies on the Count"
Are you sure, my daughter, that no

dead sure. .--ls-
Because, my-child, and his voice
grew tremulous with emotion, .be-
cause / fear me much that he Is not a
Count at all. Methinks that when
Il was erstwhile at Omaha | saw him
as a, waiter in restaurant. My
child, o. my child! These gray hairs
would indeed go in sorrow to the
grave-this old heart would be eended
In twain-ifI Were to see you in the
soup!'
The lovely girls breath came in
gasps; she twined her beautiful arms
about his neck, and whispered:
What are we going to do about it?'
- Hearken,'' hersfather replied; 81

Wen take supper with. him this even
ing, and I'll put him to a crucial test.
Until then let us abide in peace. Kiss
mo again, my angelic child. s-.--
Aiyriads of lights were cleaning in
Ormsby's magnificent cafe when Mr.
de Montmorency entered with Gladys
on his arm, queenly in her beauty and
grace. ~
The Count was already there, and
the three sat down to a table together.
What no, waiter! Come hither!'
This stern command from Mr.. de
Montmorency was instantly obeyed.
The waiter came TO the table.
Gladys could feel the color leave her
checks
She knew that the moment for the
great test was come.
Even the stern lips OF her father
quivered. and the cold perspiration was
on his brow as he said:
"Count, my daughter and / only
care for a steak and q cup.of coffee.
VIII you order for us
The Count rose from his chair, and
his ringing voice could be- heard
throughout the vast room as he said:
Slaughter In the pan and draw one,
in the dark twice..a i,
Nv.
Readei, there is but little more to
add.
Crushed and broken, Gladys retired
to convent to- end her life In quiet
and solitude. T )
The count left for his native country
on foot, but d hay-stack in which he
was. sleeping one night took fire, and
he persisted in the flames.
THE END.

EGGS OF INSECTS.

Some Are Round some Like n Pyramid
and-others Likes Flask.
Insects eggs are not all of an oval
form, like those of birds, but some
are like pear. some like an orange,
some like pyramid, and some like a
flask.
The egg Of the gnat,@ fen-instanee,
may be compared. in shape, to that of
a powder-fask. and the mother gnat
lays about three hundred at time.
WOW, each egg, 6y Itself, would sink to
the bottom of the water; yet the gnat
puts the whole three hundred to-
gether in the form OF little boat,
lend in such q .say that these-will- -aif
swim on the surface Of the water; and
very curious way $ he has of manag-
ing this.
Like other insects, the gnat has six
legs -Four Of these (the four fore
-fegs) she fastens to floating leaf, or
to the side Of bucket, if she is on
the water contained in a bucket. Her
body is thus held level with the water,
except the last ring of her abdomen,
which is a little raised. This being
done, she begins to mako use OF her
other two legs Cor hind legs), and
crosses them in the shape Of the letter
X. The open part, of this X, next to
her tail, serves as a kind of scaffold-
ing, to support the eggs she lays, UNI
til the boat is formed. Each egg,
when laid, is covered with a kind of
glue; and the gnat holds the first laid
egg in the angle of the \ until the
second egg is laid by its side, and
glued to it; she then Clues another
egg to its other side. All these stick
together thus:
making kind OF triangle, or figure OF
three, md this is the beginning of the
boat. Thus she goes on, piling egg
upon egg, always keeping the boatin
proper shape by her useful hind legs.
As the boat grows in>-size she pushes
ii from her by degrees. still adding to-
the unfinished end next to her body.
When the boat is half built her hind
legs arc stretched out thus:
