DIVING TWENTY-FIVE FEET.

Straight Downward Header of Thomas
Burns at the London Aquarium.
London's latest thrill is derived from
the feat of man who dives down ninety
five feet from the roof of the Westminster
aquarium into a narrow end comparative
" shallow tank OF water set in the floor OF
the building. The exploit calls for an
astounding combination of nerve and
skill and lie far more noteworthy than any
OF the bridge-jumping acts which have
been so tiresomelv FREQUENT of late years.
The diver is Thomas Burns, who has
acquired considerable notoriety as diver
from bridges and as an expert swimmer,
and not q little fame from his having
saved no fewer than thiTty-two lives dur
rag his career. He is a sturdily built
man some twenty-six years of age. He
mas frequently Owed from bridges over a
hundred feet high into rivers. but his dive
at the aquarium is a very diff
platform suspended among the iron
Orders OF the roof, ninety-five feet
above the floor and sees below him, in
I stead of broad, deep river, a mass of
iiaring. bswildering lights, sea of up
turned faces. and in the wooden floor of
the stage what seems from the height to
be q nero slot the tank which he must
suddenly land in. The tank is Is feet
long feet wide and feet deep. The
diver actually dives, takes header and
does not drop feet foremost, after the
manner OF the bridge Jumpers The
marvellous precision required to land in
the tank is easily appreciated, as is also
the fate that would befall him should he
miss his mark.
Burns is hoisted up to his aerial perch
by means q rope and pulley. The
spectators can barely discern him through
that distance of perpendicular space.
They see him peer over the platform edge.
then they see his toes project over, he
crouches down. and then he glides off the
platform head foremost. and comes plung-
ing down with stifily outstretched arms,
and hands meeting in front of him in
regular header" fashion. But when little
more than half way down his feet fail over
his back toward his head. he turns almost
completely over, and before the murmur
of excitement and horror that is
the usual accompaniment TO the
dive has voiced itself he strikes
the water with mis- shoulders and
back with prodigious thud He skins
Just under the surface of the water, SEEM
ing barely to enter il, and comes up
face upward He scarcely breathes hard
after the tremendous exploit, and goes oil
Immediately to give an exhibition of fancy
swimming in another part OF the building.
The wonderful skill, the superb pluck,
and the unmistakabie element OF danger
involved in the feat, together with the
not remote prospect OF q horrible catas-
trophe, bring crowds to behold this latest
aenaation

Polly looked up 10 him kinder doubtful.
She was vexed with herself aiterward to
think she had give ia to him an did as he
told her. but reckon she was too tired to
stand disDutin'.
She never knew what he said 20 SusAn's
husband, but his arguments 'peared TO
have weight 10 'em, for though Horace
moaned an Rroaned. an tied himself up
in every shawl there was in the house, he
did the chores reg lars clock work, an
Polly didn't have 10 40 out no more
The colonel was sick all winter, an his
family had pretty hard time, but would
ben worse still il they couldn't have
pended on Horace. For not only did ha
do the reglar chores, as / told you, an
never forget the kindlin'-wood, but he
brought in tho eggs night after night,
without havin' to be minded, sometimes
many's two dozen at time-they never
had known their hens to lay so well dur
in the winter season-an' more'n once he
brought in pair o. fat chickens all
dressed an ready for dinner-he 'sprised
'em every day in the week, dom some
thing they hadn't 'spec.ed OF him.
Susan worried herself most TO death
over him, fearing he was goin' 10 die, an
Miss Carpenter was all the time p'intin'
out 10 Polly how 'twa'n't safe to Judge
folks. Even Polly herself begun to think
p'aps she hadn't done him justice.
Josiah didn't come to the house no
more. Polly kinder wondered bout that,

thought it hadn't paid.

Twas in the middle O. November when
Polly come home. She'd ben off all sum-
mer visitin' some friends, an / reckon the
difference must a. ben kinder hard on
her at first; but she pitched right IN an
went to work. There was plenty che
could do to help her mother, but it made
her feel bad to see her father look so tired
an down in the mouth. IL weighed on
her mind that he'd spent so much on her
when he n the family was havin' such &
hard time to get along. She felt she'd got
to make il up to 'em somehow. The
only one she wouldn't do for was her
sisters husband; she had no patience
with him, for it 'peared to her if he q take
more exercise an less medicine 'tWOuld
ben better for him an all the rest. But
she didn't dare tell nobody but her mother
how she felt bout him, an the colonel's
wife only sighed.
If you want to set married. child" SEE
she, you must take such husband as
the Lord sends you. an then make the
best of him. Susan didn't do as well as
we'd ben glad to have her. but we'd ought
to be thankful she didn't do no worse.
Horace amt drinkin' man and his NOR
ais is good; you'd ought to member all
that when you feel put-out with him"
Polly didn't mean to be wicked, but she
couldn't help ssyin' if the Lord was
'sponsible for all the husbands in the
world, he'd showed pretty poor judgment
in some cases. Her mother was dreadful
shocked.
Don't let me hear no more such talk as
that, Polly Carpenter" SEE she. He

"All right" SEE Polly; 'if / get hus-
band like Susan's I'll cOnsecrate him TO
his end without loss o. time, an work out
my own salvation with none o. his help
an company"
Josiah'd ben lookin' forward to Polly's
comm home ever since she went away
He want one who went bout much with
the young folks in the place. but he'd
kinder KEEP his mind fixed on her, an
soon's he hsard she was back be begun to
study how be was goin' to get a chance TO

how twas to be managed, when he got

talkin' So he walked in an got 1t over
in the fewest words he could, while the
cap'n sat an listened, strokin' his black
beard.
"Well." seq he, lookn' at Josiah kinder
curious. what you goin' to do bout it?''
I'm goin' TO try'n see her." SEE Josiah,
'an' find out whether she's pleasin' her

so Josiah laid in wait for a chance to see
Polly. but day after day went by without
his gettin' it, She was too busy to home
to run round the country much, an thinks
likely she KEEP closer'n she really need to

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

Apatent strikes most people as an appall
ingIy formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be a natural genius. like Edi-
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
a patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
TO get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that il is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous iuven-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning bit of rubber
cord to child's ball, so that il would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of acknowledgement of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead a Ia Ot apd

NO BLANKS IN This COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitOrs risking the loss of their
labor and the sue, essful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is sonnet hing
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company's
competition, need not worry If he fail TO Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-One that will command it's
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought TO know better how to I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an Improve
ment can be too simple TO be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and pOpu-
larity, will get the Press Claims Company's
tWenty-h five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.
