Experiences of q Woman Who Put ON .
Diving Suit.
See any fish? Yes, lots of them. One
of my first acts was to place my ffty-six-
pound foot on prospective Fulton
market crab. This made a crunching
sound that BODIED poorly for the crusta-
cean.
Ambling about as airily as my sub
marine spring suit would permit, 1
bumped into something. Horrors!
Owing to the magnifying power of the
water, was sure it was young whale.
On dry land would have shrieked. As
it was 1 simply grasped the divers hand
convulsively. 1 had collided with a
juvenile shark, who scurried away more
frightened than 1, and then turned and
eyed us from safe distance.
Down among the watery reaches Of
seaweed, out from the dark lurking
places under the rocks and big stones,
l started up an occasional eel, and now
and again 1 could perceive some big
fish with large, knowing. inquiring
eyes peering at us out of the densely
green banks of briny opaqueness.

from any of these sea-monsters. I
fancy they would have found small

Suddenly the lifeline was jerked in a
questioning manner. 1 promptly re-
piled, and looked up expecting to sec
something above. But there was moth
ing but the great roof of the sea.
Presently the diver put his helmet
arginst mine. I heard him distinctly
say: care you ready to get up yet?"
His voice sounded far, far away, but
the articulation was quite distinct. 1t
was like the voice of ventriloquist
at his pranlks, and somewhat suggestive
of the sounds one hears when under an
anesthetic.
TWAS with the greatest effort final
" answered back with all my strength:
mo, not yet"
The sound Of my voice fairly fright
ened me as it echoed forth and back in
my helmet, and served to remind me
that I was still of the earth earthly.
There was companionship in that brief
conversation.
When I had been down about fifteen
minutes I found my breath becoming
shorter and shorter, and then present

BADNESS AND BRAINS.


Scarcity o6 Hair Not . eare Indicatioa 81
Intsllectual VlgoF.
It Is commonly believed that absence
Of hair outside . skull indicates the
presence of intellect within. Perhaps
no one would go so far as to say that
every baldheaded man is clever; but
most people certainly think that clever
and learned men are often bald. Evil
dence of this belief abounds in art and
literature, and in the converse of every
day life. The typical savant is repre-
sented with a Uranium like q billiard
ball, save for a graceful fringe of snowy
hair disposed all around at the level Of
the ears or thereabouts; while the
man of action, the hero, the
warrior is allowed, by way of contrast,
to keep his hair on as long as he
pleases, both in time and space. The
Interior causes of badness are obscure,
but the immediate process is no doubt
degeneration of the hair bulbs,
which is due to failure of nutrition,
and implies impaired vitality or loss
of vigor. The point needs no argu-
ment, though plenty of medical evil
dence could be brought to support it,
If necessary. It is universally recog-
nized that an abundance of hair gives
. look of youth and vigor, badness one
of age and decay.
This single feature will make man
of seventy appear stronger than many
q man Of fifty. Everyone will admit
this with respect to physical vigor, but
not of mental. Yet the two necessarily
go together to a great extent and this
is where the popular mistake comes
in. What is vigor? It does not lie in
muscular strength, as many may sup
pose, but in sound condition of the
whole machine and its several parts,
and more particularly of the nervous
centers in the brain, which move, con-
troll and regulate all the rest. Loss of
vigOr means a corresponding impair
ment of brain power; and though the
higher centers, the seat of intellect,
may not suffer obviously at first, they
eventually do so. Other things being
equal, the sounder man is all through
the better instrument he makes for the
performance of mental no less than
physical work; and when his hair begins
to go it is sign that he is not sosound
as he used to be or might be. True,
he may have gained in knowledge and
experience, and may SO far be better
man Intellectually than he was before;
but he is not SO good a man as he would
be if he had kept his vigor while ac-
quiring his knowledge. Of two men,
equal in mental ability, the one who
retains the more vigor possesses in a
corresponding measure the greater in
tellectual potency, whether it takes
the form OF superior energy in the
present or more prolonged period of
activity-that is to say, green old
age. This seems to be the correct view
on physiological grounds; and surely it
is borne out by experience.-St. James
Gazette.

Prof. Langley. of the Smithsonian in

q state of high perfection. This in
strument, in theory extremely simple,
is q fine wire, through which electricity
is kept flowing. The resistance Of the
wire varies with the temperature, and
hence the strength of the current also
varies. By measuring the current
therefore the temperature of the wire
can be ascertained. As is well known,
Prof. Langley has explored the invis
ible regions of the solar spectrum with
this device, proving by it that in them,
Is well as in the luminous portions,

Knew The Road.

An old Missourian tells this story:
s'We had about twenty-five miles TO
go by stage-coach in Missouri, and it
was early spring, and the roads were
very bad. The stage started about
half an hour before daylight, and
there were tive men Of us and two
women. These last had the back
seat and talked only to each other.
We were not Ov CT two miles out when
the stage got stuck, and down every
man had to get and lift and pull and
push Three miles further on we
were stuck again, and it was the
same performance over again. In
going about fOrteen miles we were
stuck five times, and in going the
twenty-five we lifted that old stage
out of the ruts and holes and bitches
almost dozen times.
The five of us were wet, spiaShed,
muddy. and hungry, when we finally
drove up to the terminus, and you
can imagine our feelings when those
two women got down, removed their
shawls and bonnets, and stood re-
vealed as two hearty and robust men.
We were looking at them with open
mouths, when one Of them re-
marked
Thanks for your labor, gentle
men. We knew the road and pre-
pared for it, Will you imbibe?"
But we were too indignant to ac-
cept.

Her eyes were closed: she did not

Then she opened her eyes. and her
glance fell on the fair handsome face
of Roy Darrell.

She drew her hands across her eyes,

her lips opened to speak Of the Count s

recollected that he was the Earl's

He left me few minutes ago.
"Roy noticed the sudden flush on the
fair face, and again that pang OF jeal-

''You like the Count:?' he asked
abruptly.
Alice hesitated a moment. then
looked at him full as she replied:
No; I dislike him.

AS they passed out, Valerie Ross
stole from behind a statue; her face
was bloodless, her lips compressed: she
glared after the girlish form with a
tempest of rage and hatred in her face,
unconscious that she herself was being
| watched.
"Valerie hates her, "pondered Count
Jura from dark corner. 81 must en-
list her sympathies; she will rejoice
to be rid of her rival, and [ shall get

He approached Valerie, softly whisp-
ering her name. She turned after a
few words, the expression of her face
changed to fear and surprise, then, as
he went on, to hatred. and lastly. as he
finished. to a glow of unrestrained joy
