DIVING DOWN DEEP.

The following extract is from an in
terestfng paper recently read before the
Cardiff Institute Of Marine Engineers:
The greatest depth known to which a
diver has descended is POI feet. Sew
eral descents have been made to depths
exceeding $50 feet, but the pressure is
so great even there that few men would
care to risk their lives In the attempt.
The extreme depth Of 201 feet is said to
have been reached by a diver named
Hooper, working on the wreck OF the
Cape Horn, on the west coast OF At
rica. It requires a large stock Of faith
10 believe that he stopped down at
that depth for three-quarters Of an
hour on one occasion. The pressue per
square inch was about IS pounds.
Roughly speaking. the pressure may be
taken as 2 IL pounds per square inch
for every fathom in depth. In go feet
OF water divers can work TO advantage,
and even so feet can be managed fairly
wen. But at greater depths 1t is not
possIble to remain under water long
enough to accomplish much. One OF
the best things Of this kind on record
was the saving Of nine boxes Of gold
coin from the steamer Alfonso XII. She
sank near Grand Canary in depth OF
nearly 1eo feet, and few believed that
the ten boxes Of specie in her hold

ARanNTINE's WHEAT EXPORTS.

ARGENTINE'S WHEAT EXPORTS.
The irregularity of the Argentine Re-
public in the matter of exporting wheat
of late years, coupled with reports of
its now rapidly increasing ability to
ship wheat abroad in competition with
the United States and Russia, lends
particular interest to recent letter
from the American consul at Buenos
Ayras to the state department at Wash
ington.
The Argentine Republic, as shown in
the report of the secretary Of agricul-
ture. can now place S5,0OO.0OO bushels
of wheat annually on the European
market. The Argentine wheat fields are
less than 100 miles from deep water
harbors, and, therefore, wheat intended
for shipment pays no appreciable inland
freight while United States wheat is
subjected to heavy charge for inland
transportation. For these reasons Sec
retary Morton believes that wheat will
not hereafter be our staple cereal, and
advises our farmers to increase their
acreage Of corn, for which there is a
constantly growing demand, the result
of new uses to which corn is being APP
propriated.
Consul Baker explains that there is
no statistical Office charged with the
collection of information of growing
crops and harvests, and the only way
by which reliable data can be obtained
is to take the exports and add to them
the estimated quantity required for
home consumption. AS to the areas in
wheat or the yields per acre, there is
70 official information obtainable. TAX
ing mers estimates, however, the con-
sui gives the area in hectares for the
years named, fhectare being the equiv
alent of 2.74 acres. Ten years ago the
wheat fields of Argentine covered 24S,-
500 hectares. In 1892 they extended over
i, 322, 900 hectares and in 1898 over 1885,
900 hectres. Estimates Of the area of
the present year vary, one authority
placing 1t at 2,1S1, 300 hectares, and an
other at 2,974,O00 hectares, the latter
figures being equivalent to about 1885,
ESQ acres Those furnishing the lower
figure explain that in consequence of
the low price of wheat last year, many
farmers are putting their lands in fax
as a more promising crop. Ten years
ago the quantity of wheat exported by
Argentine was about 10000 tons, and
during the years of the last decade the
expectation did not reach an average
of 100000 tons. In 1890 1t reached $4,000
tons, and has steadily advanced since
then, reaching in 1898 1,OOO,1S7 tons of
wheat and 1854 tons of -four The re-
turns for the first six months of the
present calendar year show that the
expectation of wheat was 1,O29,546 tons,
and of -four 2O,62S tons. 1t will be thus
seen that the shipments for tine first
six months of 1894 have been larger
than for any preceding twelve months.
