The Eneeta of Diving.

An Australian pearl diver says that
one Of the strange effects of diving is
the invariable lad temper felt while
working at the bottom Of the sea. As
this usually passes away as soon as the
surface Is reached, it is probably due to
the pressure Of the air affecting the
lungs, and through them the BRAIN The
exhilaration and bonhomie OF the noun
tain climber is a contrary feeling from
an opposite cause. A diver becomes 30
angry at some imaginary wrongdoing on
the part of those in the boat above that
he gives the signal TO be pulled up
with the intention Of knocking the
heads off the entire crew"-only to for
get what he came up for when the sur
face is reached.

WHY a Cold Affects the Hearing.

The drum or tympanum OF the ear Is
a small air chamber, with hard, bony
surroundings, ventilated by an air pas
sage about ~ inches long, called the
eustachian tube, which passes forward
and inward from the anterior part Of
the throat behind the nostrils. The at
mospheric pressure required on the in
ner side Of the drum 10 counterbalance
that Of the outer side is provided for by
the communication of the eustachian
tube with the throat in the acts Of
breathing and swallowing. Lining the
hollow Of the drum and forming the in
nermost layer Of the drumhead is a deli
cate mucus membrane, which also lines
the interior of the eustachian tube. If
we have a cold in the bead the vessels
supplying the mucus membrane from
the nose to the mouth expand, the blood
within them flows slowly or stagnates
and that in the mucus membrane be
comes congested.
As a result there is more or less swell
ing, with augmentation Of the natural
secretions. The congestion is apt to be
continued into the mucous membrane Of
the eustachian tube, which is thus OBJ
structed. This causes the air in the
drum 10 be rarefed, the drumhead and
the little chain Of bones connected with
it are forced inward, and by causing ex-

the author. A striking instance is that
of Anna Katherine Green. She longed
for a place in the higher walks Of Htera
ture and especially in poetry. She had
a painful but far from unusual expert
ence in getting polite refusals, and at
last her mother, a very practical wom-
an, said, "Why not write a story
The young lady did not at first like
the idea Nothing seemed more I'M
likely than that she should deal with
crime, for that seemed TO her especial
ly low. Nevertheless the more she
pondered the more she saw that the
public wanted just that. II conclud-
ed" she says, that a story of plot
must involve hidden crime of sniff
GENTLY serious nature to call for sab
tie evolution as well as complication.
There is no better field for such work
than daily life. 1t was necessary, ow-
ing TO the structure of the story, to
call in the aid of high class detec-
tive. And so my dear old friend. Eben-
ezer Gryce, was created" She decided
that the man who committed the crime
should be the first to announce it, and
that the detective should make sad
blunder at the start. The rest was mere
detail and so 1.-The Leavenworth Case
was written.
Her hope was TO earn money enough
10 publish her poetry and reputation
enough to make her better work, as she
deemed it, sought for by the public.
But her destiny was fixed. She is q
writer Of thrilling detective stories, and
as such the world knows her. Her first
was written in the upper room of an old
shoemaker's house in East Haddam,
Conn. Her "Hand and Ring" was writ
ten in the same town, and she is said tC

DETECTIVE NOVELS.
THEY SEEM TO De HAVING A GREAT
VOGUE AT PRESENT.

How One American Writer was Almost
Forced Into Thet Line Of yVorIS-The
English Author, Conan Doyle, and His
Peculiar Methods.
From Jack Sheppard to Jesse James
the daring criminal who operates on Il
large scale has been a favorite on the
stage and in fiction. Next to him in
popular interest, possibly before him, is
the great detective; and it is no small
evidence of the advance Of sound ideas
among the uneducated that even in the
cheapest popular resorts the detective is
gaining and the outlaw losing favor.
From Jonathan Wild to Allan Pinker-
ton, from Vidocq to Inspector Bucket"
(whose real name was Tuckett), the &C.
tual man has been so lost in the stage
hero and character in fiction that most
people do not even know there was a
real man.
Nor is the popular taste satiated. In
truth it is but whetted by what has been
given it, and it is as certain as any
thing in literature that a really well
written detective story would find a
publisher at once, and make money for

The average British boy contracts at
least three hobbies before he reaches the
mature age of ffteen-when he is per-
haps more intent upon growing mus
tache than anything else-the collection
of old postage stamps, the keeping Of
pet animals, or love for the toy drama
Of the penny plain and twopenny colored
variety. Like most hobbies, the first
named mania is but short lived and the
luckless stamp album, once the object
Of tremendous affection, is thrown
into the dust hole, never again 10 see
light. But what is merely temporary
hobby with the boy becomes with some
q lifelong passion in manhood Million.

DR.. Conan Doyle, another famous
writer in that line, created in "Sher-
lock Holmes a new style Of detective.
His character is that Of physician, who
studies men and their motives and al
ways captures the criminal in the end.
DR.. Doyle's greatest task is in devising
the climax. He always gets that and
writes the end Of the story first-all the
rest is easily done in week. He is a
tall, broad ahoullered and very open
air sort Of man, and says that his best
ideas come to him when he is walking,
rowing, tricyciing or playing tennis.

Dairy Competition.

Compe ttfon has placed the farmer,
especially the dairyman, where years
ago it placed the merchant. Only the
sl1illful, the industrious, and the eco
nomical, with the employment of the
latest methods, can now succeed. Even
if dairyman in every other respect is
doing his duty, if he is handicapped by
a herd of inferior mixers he mlEt fail.
There are thousands of COWS in the
United States that with proper treat
ment will give $4,000 pounds of milk in
a year, and there are thousands of others
that with the same care and feed would
not give over 1000 pounds in a year.
A COW properly handled should give
milk at least during eight seasons, so
that difference in her favor of even
5000 pounds of milk per year would
amount during her life to $4,000 pounds,
or 5000 worth Of milk. This statement
does not show adequately the superiority
of the one COW over the other, because
the female progeny Of the deep milking
COW if properly raised will prove of IN
calculable value.-C. w. Horr.

Sowing Wheat.

Professor Blount, after ten years ex-
periments in thick sowing of wheat,
says: "In all cases and under all condi-
tons, except late sowing, it has been
found that thirty pounds of good, sound
and pure wheat is enough for an acre.
drilled or broadcast. In bushel of com
mon sized wheat there are in round
numbers S22. 900 kernels, half of which,
if sown evenly upon an acre. would place
them less than four inches apart each
way, giving each kernel about twelve
square inches on which to grow and de-
velop. If sown early and the conditions
of the soil are favorable, such thin SOW
ing, it will be found, will produce more
and better grain than the larger quanti-
ty, because there will be room for each
kernel to grow unobstructed.

moro, chaplain of the French army in
Algiers and teacher of mental philoso-
ply in the Stonyhurst Jesuit college.
In 1869 he was sent to California. There
he had charge of st. Ignatius college,
whence he was transferred in 1880 to
Santa Clara college. There he remained
until he breathed his last.
Father Bayma was tall, handsome
and particularly gentle man. He was a
great philosopher, but his speciality, and
the study to which he devoted his life,
was mathematics. Several of his works,
the master minds among the mathema-
ticians say, will live forever. One of
his books was entitled, ''The Curves AS
sumed and Described by a Falling Drop
Of Water" Another which the Smith
sonian institution has now in press,
"Cycloidal Functions" has the loga-
rithms calculated to eight places. He as
sailed the theories of Tyndall, Newton
and others. His books are used in many
colleges. He was born in Italy, but
spoke several languages fuently.

Fresh Neurasthenic Terms.

Some remarkable words are being add
ed to the English language as the result
of the development of specialism in the
treatment of nervous diseases. Among
the latest of these made to order neuras-
thenic terms are .'agarophobia, the fear
of public places; "batophobia, the fear
of the collapse of high buildings, and
''pantophobia, the dread of everything
possible. There are things in this world
Of ours besides politics that would as
tonish Thomas Jefferson if he could
come to life again.

Once a Day Laborer.

The author Won Mollhausen, who is
now librarian to the German emperor,
has had an eventful career. Nearly
forty years ago he was day laborer on
a farm near the village of Mascoutah, in
Illinois. His employer is now living, a
hale and hearty old man, Adam Riess by
name, and well remembers the sturdy
young farm hand whose industry was SO
conspicuous. The reason why Won Moll-
hansen masqueraded in this way is not
known, but he has more than once
sketched American country life SO real
istically in his novels that it is supposed
he was then in search of facts.

cornice of the car, slide down the frail,
dangling support, break in the glass of
the door, thrust a pistol through the
opening, shoot the express messenger

would be considered so improbable that
