MAP OF ROME IN MARBLE.
More Fragments of slab That Is Invalua

More Fragments of a Slab That Is Invalua-
bic to Archaeologists.
New York SUM-
1t was known several centuries ago that
onthe facade of one of the municipal build
ings erected by the Emperor Augustus of
Rome was affixed a great marble slab, on
which the map of Rome with all its streets,
temples, public buildings and gardens were
traced in deeply indented lines. A large
part Of this map was dug up during excava-
tions made on the site Of the forum of
Augustus many years ago, and % more
fragments of this marble plan of Rome have
just been found in the excavations for the
works of the Tiber embankment on the
other side of Rome and across the river.
The story how these fragments got SO far
away from the ruins to which they belonged
is curious one.
In the sixteenth century, during the
reign of Pope Paul Ill, excavations were
commenced near the site Of the wall on
which the plan was known to have been
affixed, and good many fragments. of the
marble plaque were found, of which those
considered the most important were given
to the municipal authorities, and the smaller
bits (then deemed worthless, but beyond
price to the skilled and patient archaolo-
gists of to-day were cast into heap of
building materials, comprising, doubtless,
many other precious fragments of marble,
and were eventually built into the walls OF
the old Altieri Palace, part OF which has
been uncovered in making the foundations
for the Tiber embankment. These frag-
ments were found seven meters below the
actual level Of the Roman streets, or rather
more than % feet

DIVING FOR PINK PEARL.

sThe Experts Rarely Able to Stay Under
water1Iore Than Four Minutes.
The.divers in the landof the pink pearl
zare not-along-lived race Even after many
years of constant practice, they can only re-
main under water from two to three minutes
Ias a rule, though there have been divers so
to the work, and so suited for it,
that they could remain four minutes under
water; but these are exceptions to the gen.
eral rule, and SO long submersion is always
attended with considerable risk.
A stone attached to a rope carries the
diver like an arrow shot from bow down
to his work; simple piece of cord, sup
posedto be always in the hand of the hauler,
keeps up communication with him. As
soon as his work is done he twitches the
signal cord, and should be drawn ND with
out q moments hesitation. This Is, of
course, q much slower matter than his de-
scent. The stone and the mans weight,
which act so wonderfully in favor of his
descent, are just as much against him as he
rises, and the least negligence on the part of
the hauler is fatal These men are not al
ways on the alert, and it not infreouently
happens that, either because the signal is
not given soon enough, or because the diver
has been too suddenly overtaken to give any.
or because it is not answered instantly.

In command Of the Dreadnaught. 1t was
not surprising, therefore, that on this par
ticular morning, March Ii, vast eoncourss
of people, many of them personal friends
and all of them admirers Of the young cap
tain, should have collected on the wharves
Of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company to
give him parting cheer.
The crew Of the DreadnsugM was made
up Of ten able seamen, and master
and mate The sailors were all natives on
residents Of San Diego, experienced mem
and glad of an opportunity to serve undeH
Captain Allaire. The mate was an excel
lent officer, Roderiok shelton by nsme Al
though he was Allaire's senior by i've or si1
years, this fact didn't gall him the least bit,
nor did an envious or Jealous thought ever
enter his mind. he wss the first to &C.
knowledge that Allaire was the man for the
post. They had been messmatss for years,
and had learned to appreciate each other.
Besides, whatever William Hollister did
was well done Rod Shelton and his men
were devoted to him, body and soul Most
of the crew had already shipped on soma
one or other of his vessels, and officers and
men were really like one family.
So favorable, therefore, was the outlook
that but one thought seemed to be upper
most in the minds of the fathers sndmothers,
wives and sweethearts, who congTegated on
the wharf to bid goodbyto the fortunate sea-
men, and that was, it would be but mstter
of six months, a flying trip between Cali
fornia and India, an excursion from San
Diego to Calcutta, and not one Of those
commercial or exploring expeditions which
keep q ship at sea for years, exDosed to the
most dangerous waters Of both hemispheres.
This crew knew what suchexpeditions were,
and their families had often seen them sail
away under conditions well qualified TO

The work Of getting the ,Dreadnaught
ready for sea was nearly completed. The
ship was lying pretty well out in the harbor,

THE DREADNAUGHT


There are two chances TO one that friends
who are about to be separated by q long
voyage will never see each other again
those who are left behind may be.mlssing
upon the return; those who set out may
never come back again But no such
thought as this bothered the heads of the
seamen who were busily engaged in getting
the Dreadnaught ready for sea on the morn
ing Of March 10, 1876. On that day the
Dreadnaught, John Allaire, master, was to
set sail from the port Of San Diego, Cal, on
a voyage through the seas Of the Northern
Pacific
The Dreadnaught,,s three-master Of 900
tonnage, belonged tothat type Of clipper
built ships which the Americans use so ad-
vantageously in their foreign trade and
which in point of4speed nearly rival the
best steamers in their merchant marine.
Such a finely built vessel was the Dread
naught, and so admirably commanded that
not man of her crew would have consented
to ship on any other vessel, even with the
assurance Of higher pay. Every heart
throbbed, every breast was filed with that
two-fbld confidence based upon the certainty
of having shipped on q good vessel under O.
good captain.
The Dreadnaught wasabout to leave port
on her first voyage, excepting, of course,
her trial trip, for account of her owners, the
shipping house of Hollister & Co., of San
Diego. Her port of destination was to be
Calcutta, which she was to reach by way Of
Singapore, with a cargo of American manu-
,factured goods, and upon her return voyage
she was to bring consignment of East In
dian merchandise for ONE of heACalifornian
ports.

From the above, it might be thought that
Mexico was a sort of second Rotterdam.

houses which wall the sidewalks with their

are well paved and improvements are going
on steadily. Not long ago some of the
streets were laid with Trinidad asphalt, and
this pavement is far better fitted for Mexico
than Washington. Others of the streets are
paved with Nicholson blocks and q great
many have the old cobble-stones of years
ago. The streets are,everywhere wide, and
