DIVERS DID THE CLEANING.
How the Baltimore Got Rid of Her Bar
 nacles Without Docking.

How the Baltimore Got Rid of Her Bar
 naoles Without Docking.
 A United States cruiser in active sery- ice requires almost as much furnishing to koep her trim as does q silk hat. It isn't the brasses and metal work around her decks that cause the chief anxiety. It is her bottom. That fouls, particular ly in southern seas, and it is necessary to dock her and clean away the barnaz cies
 But docks are not always at hand Lieutenant Commander Sebree, in dis cussing this question ill the United States Naval institute, described for the first time the scheme worked by the United States ship Baltimore during the Chilean trouble. She was not docked for 1 months, and during eight months of that time she was ill Chilean and Peruvian waters. The Baltimore, after being docled at Toulon France, ill Feb ruary, 1891, sailed for Chile. Within four or five months after arriving in Chile she began to lose speed on account of a foul bottom.
 There were i'll the crew two seamen
 
 the torpedo school at Newport besides Peter Hanley, the gunner, who had also taken tho course. It was decided to clean tho bottom of the Baltimore by sending down divers. An iron ladder was let down from Q launch alongside the Baltimore, and for use under the ship wide Jacobs ladder was made on board. While cleaning the bottom the diver was always on this ladder, be- tween it and the ship. He would stand, sit or lie down on the ladder, as hap pened to be most convenient.
 The divers used serapers made of hard wood in the shape of a broad chisel. They were about inches wide and 8 inches long with the handle end round- ed down The diver chose the man who att .-ded to the life line: Besides this man who attended the line four other men were in the launch. Two of them worked the pumps, and the other two attended to the bow and stern lines of the launch. The divers were limited to five hours work day, and they got $1 an hour in addition to their regular pay.
 The time taken to clean the bottom once and to clean one-third of it sec ond time was two months. The work was done under adverse circumstances in the harbor of Valparaiso, where ire quently sea would stop the work.
 The barnacles on the bottom of the Baltimore the first time she was cleaned averaged 2A inches in length. Some of them were more than 3 inches long. They were often in clusters, so that they extended six inches or more from the ships bottom
 After the bottom was cleaned the gunner made an Inspection and reported that the cleaning was well done. Lieu tenant Commander Sebree says that, in his opinion, vessel can be kept prac- tically clean and suffer no serious loss of speed for at least year by the use of her divers at cost of 5000 for labor and about $500 for the pump.

Chased the Chipnunk Down His

Chased the Chipnunk Down His Throat.
 4 very peculiar accident happened re- gently to Eben White, a farmer living about four miles northwest of St. Johns, Mich. He had been working in the woods and lay down to sleep under a tree and must have slept with his mouth open. A common mongrel pup and small boy were his companions. While the old man slept the boy and the dog started chipmunk and proceed ed to chase it. That chipmunk made tracks for safety, and seeing Whites mouth open lodged in. It was new sensation to White to have chipmunk trying to get down his throat alive, and he woke up in a hurry. He nearly choked to death bt fore he pulled that chipmunk out, and then he killed the little animal and brought it into town to prove the truth of the story he tells. A doctor who examined his throat and mouth found it badly lacerated and says he believes Whites story is true.-Chi- cago Herald.

A young lawyer in the city had as
client some time ago negro charged
with assault and battery, and the ac-
cused now owes his liberty to the fine
work done in his behalf by his counsel,
who put up the plea Of insanity as his
defense and was sustained by the jury.
1t was a hard fight The fee was good
one, but the negro had no cash. In lieu
thereof he decided n building lot in the
suburbs TO his lawyer. who accepted the
deed, duly signed and delivered, and
locked it away in his safe.
A short time ago he bethought him
that with the help Of building and loan
association he might put house on that
lot and increase its value, so he offered
the property for a loan to one Of the
home building and loan associations.
His application was duly received, but
when he went around to hear the result
the secretary told him that the commit
tee had rejected the application.
The astonished lawyer asked the rea
son; the lot was good, the loan small
and title good, for he had examined int
that part of it. The secretary said tina
the committee differed with the lawye
az to the title, because while they them
selves were not lawyers they failed T.
see how a negro who had been release,
by jury on a plea of insanity coul'
give a good title to property The younI
lawyer still has the deed, Macon Tele
