ENEMIES OF THE DIVER.
Marine Creatures That Make It Unpleas
ant for Pearl Hunters.


The diver, as the reader may imagine,
gets many scares when below. A ff-
teen foot shark, magnifed by the water
and making a bee line for one, is suf-
ficient to make the stoutest heart
quake, in spite of the assertion that
sharks have never been known to at
tack a man in dress. Neither is the
sight of a large turtle comforting when
one does not know exactly what it is,
and the coiling of a sea snake around
ones legs, although it has only ones
hands to bite at, is, to say the least, un-
pleasant. A little fish called the stone
fish is one of the enemies of the diver,
says writer in the Century. It seems
to make it's habitation right under the
pearl shell, as it is only when picking
them up that anyone has been known
to be bitten. remember well the first
time l was bitten by this spiteful mem
Der of the fnny tribe l dropped my
bag of shells and hastened to the sur
face, but in this short space of time my
hand and arm had so swollen that it
was with difficulty could get the dress
off, being unable to work for three
days and suffering intense pain the
while. Afterward learned that staying
down a couple of hours after bite
will stop any further discomfort, the
pressure of water causing much bleed
ing at the bitten part and thus expell-
ing the poison.
One of the strange effects that diving
has upon those who practice it is the
invariable bad temper felt while work
ing at the bottom. AS this irritability
passes away as soon as the surface is
reached it is only reasonable to sup
pose that it is caused by the unusual
pressure of air inside the dress, affect
ing probably the lungs, and through
them the brain. My experience has
been that while below one may fly into
the most violent passion at the merest
trife. For instance, the life line held
too tight or too slack, too much air or
too little, or some imaginary wrong
doing on the part of the tender or the
boys above will often cause the temper
to rise. 1 have sometimes become so
angry in a similar way that 1 have
given the signal to pull up, with the
express intention of knocking the heads
off the entire crew, but as the surface
was neared and the weight of air de-
creased my feelings have gradually
undergone a change for the better,
until by the time 1 reached the ladder
and had the face glass unscrewed had
forgotten for what / came up.

Our Tropical Fruits.

Some of the revelations of the census
will startle good many people. For
instance, there are now more than half
million almond treesoactually bearing
in the United States; there are hum
dreds of thousands OF bearing cOcoanut
trees; there are more than a quarter ola
million olive trees, producing fruit equal
to the best Mediterranean varities.
There are more than half million bear
ing banana plants, 100000 bearing lem
on trees, 1900, 900 orange trees, and 21,-
10000 pineapples. And the value Of
tropical and semi-tropical fruits grown
under the American flag is nearly $780,

Worth a Fortune.

The mammoth diamond now being
cut at the Coeterinans cutting factory,
in Antwerp. is seven centimeters, or
more than two and half inches, in
length, and has diameter OF i've cent?
meters-nearly two inches. The first
cutting will, however, reduce its di-
mensions considerably, but it will rank
second to the largest diamond known,
which is the Grand Mogul, owned by
the shah of Persia, and weighs two
hundred and seventy-four karats. The
cutting of the Antwerp diamond will
occupy several years, and the cost will
be eight thousand pounds sterling.

The Story of a Lost Locket.

Mrs. Andrew Crosse, in Temple Bar,
tells pretty little story of lost
locket. The famous eccentric Lady
Hester Stanhope told the physician
who travelled with her to the east that
she had never known but three really
great men. They were her uncle, Will
liam Pitt; her brother, James Stanhope;
and Sir John Moore The two last were
both killed in the battle of Corunna.
She got lock of the hair of each, and
set them in gold loclzet, with the coat
of-arms and name of each respectively
In 1914 Lady Hester determined to live
permanently in Syria, and sent for her
possessions-this locket being among
them. The ship containing her val
uables sailed and was heard of at
Cypress; soon after one of those Medi-
terranean squalls came on and nothing
more was ever heard of ship, crew or
cargo. Thirty years elapsed. Lady
Hester had long been dead when let
ter came to the admiralty from the con-
sui at Jaffa saying that an Arab had
picked up on the beach gold ornament
with Frank characters. This
was the long-lost locket, and Lord
Stanhope kindly giving up his claim to
it, says Mrs. Crosse, it became Sir
Graham Moore's and is. now in my pos

MYSTERY IN A CAVERN.
Does 1t Contain Booty Secured by n,
torious California Bandits?

Does 1t Contain Booty Secured by Mo-
torious California Bandits?
On the north side of Table mountain
and near its top is an opening in the
lava that has since early days been
named from the fact that for years it
was the lair of band of ferocious Cal.
fornia lions that, when this country
was largely devoted to sheep raising,
made nightly depredations upon the
f1oclzs and caused the owners much an
noyance and loss. When pursued the
animals would seek refuge in this den
and no hunter would dare enter it.
The ground about the entrance to it
was covered with bones and remnants
of sheep and other animals. With the
increase of population the lions have
gradually disappeared, although as late
as last spring two of the animals were
seen to enter the cave. Strange to say,
no known man has ever penetrated to
It's fullest depth. The mouth is about
four or five feet high and three feet
wide, and the opening descends with a
sharp incline for about two hundred
feet. Further than this it has never
been explored.
Now, however, party of young men
have made arrangements to explore it,
and, if possible, penetrate to its bottom.
That it is of great depth is certain, for
one can stand at the opening and heave
great stones down the declivity and the
sound will gradually die away in the
distance. The young men have pro-
cured several hundred feet of rope,
lanterns, torches and ladders, and will
thoroughly explore the cave.
What adds peculiar interest to the ex-
pedition and gives zest to the explorers
is the well-known fact that in the hey
day of his career as a bandit Joaquin
Murietta and his band of faithful fol-
lowers made the recesses of Table
mountain their base of operations in.
this section. From there they would
swoop down on the miners, and then,
laden with gold dust, retreat to the
mountain. Search as they might, the
officers could not locate them. It has
been supposed by many that perhaps in
this same cave was where the famous
outlaw secreted himself. It may be,
too, that down deep in the bowels of the
earth Joaquin hid the greater portion
of his ill-gotten, but nevertheless just
as potent, wealth.

HOG VERSUS SNAKE,
A Bloody Battle in Which Both Porker
and Reptile Succumb.

anu AScpIAO OuCCuHDs
A fight out of the usual line took place
a few nights since at a San Francisco
athletic club. There were not many
present, nor was the purse large, and
the combatants had had very little ring
experience. One was piebald hog be-
longing to Senator" Healy, a south
San Francisco resident, and the other
was an Arizona rattlesnake, the prop
erty of Ell. NJ. Jones, who resides in the
same district: The hogs name was
Casey, and the snake went by the ap-
pellation of Mars. Both are dead now.
The fight was to be to finish, though
none of the spectators thought for a
moment that both the contestants
would die. The bets were in favor of
the hog, for Casey had killed numerous
reptiles before, and, in common with
other members of his tribe, was looked
upon as being proof against their ven-
ON.
An inclosed circular ring had been
built in the middle of the hall, which
somewhat resembled an diversified dog
fighting pit. 1t was four feet deep by
fifteen in diameter. The floor was
plentifully strewn with white sand to
the depth of two inches, to give the
snake a chance to move around to the
best advantage.
When the hog and the snake were let
loose in the pit the reptile made dash
at the quadruped and buried its fangs
under the hogs shoulder. Casey
squealed in the fury of agony and des-
pair, for it was then pretty certain that
he was dead pig. By his dexterity,
however, he saved himself until he had
virtually won the contest. He made
for the snake, but Mars wiggled and
twisted to get out of his way and kept
him busy chasing around the ring.
Finally he caught the reptile and sec
ond later had bitten through it's body in
ten different places. In five minutes
he had devoured the pieces of his foe.
While he was killing Mars, Casey kept
squealing all the time, and when it was
dead he tore Its body to pieces. Then
the hopelessly injured pig, whose right
foreleg was swollen and crippled by his
death wound, put his snout to the floor
and rooted around devouring every
fragment of his victim. Then he lay
down to die. His owner thought by
pouring whisky down the hogs throat
he could be saved from the effects of
the poison. His efforts, however, were
unavailing, and at 1:30 the next morning
Casey was pork. President Walker gave
the victory to the hog, whose owner re-
ceived purse of one hundred dollars
and fifty-three dollars gate receipts.

German
Syrup

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
which have e been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little baci11i, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive Just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air We.
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightfu1 rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, 1oosens them, kills
them, expel1s them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in short time consump-
tives become germ-proof and well. Q

Storage Reservoirs.

The general increase in the num-
Der of irrigating canals and bitches
throughout the country, that take
their water supply from running
streams, is raising the inquiry,
where the supply of water will come
from when that in the streams
is exhausted. 1t is plain that
storage reservoirs will have to be
built which will save the water
during the winter and heavy sum-
mer rains and hold it in reserve for
the season when it is more needed
and when the mountain streams
run low. That these reservoirs
will accomplish this purpose, is
clearly proven by the success
which has attended the building
of the Sweet Water dam near San
Diego and other streams, that are
perfectly dry II months in the
year. These reservoirs have never
failed as yet in being filled to the
brim, yielding a sufficient supply
ofwater just at the time when most
wanted. If this can be done OH
dry streams it is plain that it must
be successful on those where water
runs most of the year. Storage re-
servoirs will enter largely into the
irrigation projects of the future:
