The Dangers of Divers.

The greatest danger to those who dive
into the sea for valuables that have
been sunk is that of falling asleep.
On hot day the contrast between
the heat above and the delicious cool
ness below water is apt to make n diver
sleepy. One Of these men stated that
he once slept half an hour at the bot
tom of a wreck, where he was laying a
pipe.
Supposing that had happened in q
channel where the tide runs SO swiftly
that diver can work only during the
one hour of slack water, the deadly
iush of tide would have snapped the
lifeline and hose. Then in working
wrecks there is the danger Of getting
jammed in between freight or of get
ting the hose or line entangled. When
the hose snaps at great depth the tre-
mendous pressure kills the diver. He is
frightfully distorted by it-Pearson' g

MARRIAGE BROKERS.
The Schatchcn Is nm Important Person In
New York Colony.

In wandering through the east side
recently learned that the schatchen is
an important and busy functionary in
that quarter The sage who long time
ugo observed that marriages were made
in heaven evidently knew nothing about
this matchmaking official, who exer-
cises his wiles by day and by night in
the teeming Hebrew colony here. The
gchatchen is man of middle age, suave
and we'll dressed, who promotes mar
riages. He works on strictly business
principles and don't bother his head
about Cupid or that peculiar sentiment
called love. He is diplomat, with a
visiting list longer than the most popu-
lar woman of the Four Hundred. He
belongs to no end of lodges and orders
and speedily makes IL his business to
know all about the families Of his mar
ried friends. He also acquaints himself
with the monetary worth of paterfamil-
las, and IL the latter has any marriage
able sons or daughters he gets in his
work, first by delicate insinuation and
soon more openly.
The schatchen has neatly engraved
card which announces his business, and
this he distributes literally. He also
believes in advertising. and his card is
conspicuously displayed in all the Yid-
dish newspapers. He brings young cou-
pies together, and il a marriage ensues
he pockets commissions from both sides
If the brides father gives her dot of
$500, the schatchen pockets $50. He
also strikes the bridegroom for 10 per
cent, but is frequently compelled to
compromise on az. He often has a
dozen irons in the fire at one time, and,
in the vernacular of the sport, plays of
one against the other. Sometimes he
burns his fingers, as he not infrequently
plays leading role in the civil courts,
but he fills unique place in polyglo'
Gotham and has been the means OF
making any number of bashful young
people happy for spot cash. New Yorl

Tho Pace Of the Camel.

As a matter of fact. and in spite of
its having carried MOhammed in four
leaps from Jerusalem to Mecca. seven
miles an hour is the camel's limit, nor
can it maintain this rate over two hours.
Its usual speed is FIVE miles an hour
IA slow pace, beyond which it is dan
gerous to urge il, lest, as Asiatics say,
1t might break its heart and die literally
on the spot.
When camel is pressed beyond this
speed, and is spent, it kneels down, and
not all the wolves in Asia will make it
bulge again. The camel remains where
it kneels, and where it kneels it dies.

IN NATURAL COLORS.
Iifciike Tints Impaired to an Ordinary
Photography.


II has been known for a long time
that If the suns rays are allowed to
shine upon the glass side of n photo
graphic negative and the eye is brought
into the proper position it is possible
to see the positive picture in the origi-
nal natural colors of the object photo
graphed. From scientific standpoint
this is sometimes matter of very
great Importance In order to bring out
this quality Of negative independently
Of the suns rays Professor Lippmann
has, after long study, constructed an
apparatus which enables him to obtain
the same result with artificial light He
employs gas lamp with Welsbach
burner, the rays Of which are thrown
upon the negative by means Of lens,
in order to have the rays strike the neg
ative parallel.
The negative is for the purpose
mounted upon a wooden stand with
black polished surface. Another large
lens, held in black frame, Is mounted
on a separate stand, and diaphragm
held upon the same stand is provided
Immediately in front Of the focus of
this larger lens. To see the picture in
all its natural beauty Of color the angle
at which the negative is examined must
be exactly the same as the angle at
which the parallel rays strike it. 1t is
in the reflection of the light rays and
its distribution through the larger lens
that the picture, which is fastened upon
the negative in dull black tones, is
again dissolved into its original re-
splendent beauty. Aside from its scien-
tific importance, 1t is matter Of con-
siderable moment, for instance, in re-
production of portraits in oil after q
photograph, since tints Of hair, eyes
and complexion are plainly discernible
in the artificially colored positive thus
produced from the black negative. -Ex-
