BETTER SAILORS NEEDED.
Plans to Pass Civil Service Law for
Seamcn.
Chicago rribune.)

Chicago Tribune)
The national organization Of American
Seamen intends, if possible, 70 have q
law passed by the present congress re-
quiring all steamship companies TO in
crease the number of experienced sailors
in the crews of vessels carrying passen-
gers. and to compel sailors to pass a civil
service examination before being eligible
to employment on passenger boats.
Such a law has been framed already
and will be introduced by a congressman
from California. In support Of the prop
osltion the officials of the organization
say lives of passengers are not psatectcd,
and that in case of accident, few large
steamers would be able to man their life
boats with competent men. p. Coomb,
acting secretary of the local organization
of seamen, said yesterday:
1T is not generally known that few
passengers steamships carry enough ex-
perienced sailors to man their boats in
case of accident, The best passenger
boats on the lakes carry only few ex-
perienced sailors The law should regu-
late the number of men in each crew ac-
cording TO the size of the vessel, and
should also require that none but men of
experience be in n,lnded in the count There
are plenty of boats on the lakes doing
large passenger business that seldom
have in the crew more than three or four
men who would be of any use in pro-
tecting the lives of passengers in case Of
an accident"
1.-THE greater part of the crews are
made up of men who are paid $12 a
month. OF course the union sailors have
a selfish interest in the passage of the
proposed law, but the argument in It's
fax x.,tn
the travelling public through having
ships crews made up of men who know
more about handling coal-shovel than
pulling an oar.

steamer is now about a week overdue

worried, hence the rush to reinsure At
the office of the Occidental and Oriental
Company they will not admit that there
is any danger, and point to the fact that
she is a very slow vessel. They admit
that she is overdue, but say that she has
probably met with head winds and that
she will arrive all right.

The following facts in regard to divers
and diving apparatus appeared in the
Strand Magazine. The dress of fully
equipped diver weighs 1914 pounds. and
costs about f100. First of all come Sh
pounds of thick underclothing; then fol-
low the suit itself, weighing IA pounds,
boots 32 pounds, monstrous things with
leaden soles; breast and back weights,
50 pounds; and lastly the helmet, which
weighs S5 pounds When the hull of the
Great Eastern was cleaned by divers as
she WIS being loaded with the cable for
the submarine telegraph the con-
trsc. piio0 or the work was q, 800, and IL
was completed in six weeks by twelve
diver. The incrustation on her bottom
was more than foot thick, and after II
Wa- rannoved she lifted fully two inches.
atest depth at which a diver may
york is $50 feet. There have been,
hOt ever, rare instances Of diving to 2O4
feet, and sustaining a pressure of Ssi5
pounds on every square inch Of the body.
Diving was first incepted by the action Of
the elephant in crossing a deep river,
when he swims beneath the water ele-
waiting his trunk by which method he
breathes. The work of diver consists
in recovering lost articles, and singing
them, in such a manner that they can
be easily hauled up; cleaning and copper
ing ships bottoms, cleaning propellors,
and communicating by slate and voice.
When able TO work at a depth of 120 feet
a diver is considered fully qualified. The
flag ships in the British navy carry eight
divers and the cruisers four each, fully
equipped.
