There is a certain fascinating inter
est about man who has walked on
the bed of the sea, alone and separate
from his kind, with only the fishes and
sea-monsters for companions. Such q
one is Engineer G. p. Gilbert, who has
recently renowned his dangerous call
ing to become manager of IN electric
light plant. 1t was amid tho whirl of
the electric machinery that / found
him. and he very courteously responded
to my request for On interview with
the humorous remark:
"But I'm not in 1t now"
Tell me some of your sensations

who is professional diver. I went

anything else, and to inspect work be-

What did you find at the bottom of
the watcr?"
"a great many fish. And they were
as curious to see me as if they had ex-
pectcd me. The perch were there in
great numbers, and so tame that they
swan between tho fingers of my ex-
tended hand. But if l moved, they
darted away. They would swim round

to diverse"
Collapse OF the lungs from the es-
cape of an air bubble after the high
pressure. Divers have been known to
die instantly after reaching the surface
from this cause. Prostitution after
coming up, from change of medium on
the spinal marrow, is said to be another
fatal difficulty; but these arc more lia-
ble to the dccp-sea divers Did you

A Tumultuous Day in Ireland,

Yesterday was great day in Ireland. Par
neliites and anti-Parnellites held numerous
meetings, attended with broken heads and other
symptoms. Parnelrs meeting at Newry was
grand affair in point of numbers and en-
thusiasm Notwithstanding the virtual pro-
hibition of the bishop from attendance at the
demonstrations and the bitter denunciation of
Parnell by the clergy not less than 5000 per-
sons were present from the town and the Country
round about. The McCarthyites, with the aid
OF the priests, tried to hold counter demonstra-
ton, but 1t amounted to very little. Mr.. Par
nell bitterly denounced the interference Of the
clergy and spoke hopefully of Ireland
prospects Of genuine home rule. He asserted
that lrishmen must DEF end upon themselves
and not on England FOR bringing about the
accomplishment Of national government Of
Ireland. His utteranceS We're loudly cheered.
A McCarthyite in the rear Of the crowd who
shouted out something derogatory to Parnell
and waved copy Of the bishops pastoral was
immediately attacked. He sought safety in
flight, but was pursued and captured by a
party Of parneiiites, who compelled him to
kneel down and eat the paper on which the
pastoral WIS printed.
