WONDERFUL FEAT.
1t Is Unparalleled In tho History of Deep
Sea Diving.

Sea Diving.
A few more facts about the recovery
of the specie from the Alfonso XII,
probably the most remarkable decp-sca
diving effort on record. are sent TO us
by Mr.. Henry G. II. Vaughan. Clap
man. The vessel sank off Point Gantlo.
Grand CaEary, at about four o'clock in
the afternoon of February II, 1885, in
fine weather, having probably struck
on Gando rock. She had II valuable
10000 newly minted Spanish gold five
duros) pieces, each of nearly the value
of an English sovereign. This specie
was stored in small triangular room
or lazlrctte i'll the run of the ship
that is, just over the screw and below
three declls-and it was subsequently,
found to bc at depth of &c % fathonis
or 1G0 feet. The best professional
opinion thon fixed IS fathoms us the
practicable limit of continuous decp-sea
diving. There were three divcrs-Alex-
ons Lambert, David Tester and Fred
cri,k j. Davies. The specie was below
three decks, which had 10 be pierced.
The idea of making hole in the side of
the steamer by an explosive was ADAM
doncd. the fear being that the specie
might be scattered. Lambert rccoy-
cred seven boxes, Tester two boxes and
Davies none. The diver had to descend
into the lazarette and lift the box, weigh
ing uearly two hundrcd-wcight, in his
arms on TO the deck above, the pressure
upon him mt the time being about N
pounds to each square inch of his body.
This is said to be feat altogether
unparalleled In the history of diving,
and proves what heroic fellows these
divers were. They showed the highcs.
pluck, endurance ard tenocity through.
out the operations. Lambert made 62
dips. being submerged altogether 0u3
minutes, his longest immersion being
26 minutes. including going down and
coming up. Tester made 46 dips, being
submerged during Gel minutes, his
longest immersion being 30 minutes.
Davies made 80 dips and was sub
merged 293 minutes. his longest INNER
sion being 20 minutes. but he could not
gel 30 low down as the lazarette, the
pressure being too great for him. Tester
had one lad fit. Lambert was for O.
time paralyzed In his legs. Two subse-
quent unsuccessful attempts were made
by contractors with the underwriters.
On the principle of mo cure no pay" to
recover the hast box. Probably this last
10000 will never he rega;ned.
The divers were paid good wages and
five per cent. on all the gold recovered.
In addition to this they were of course
boarded and bonus of 20 was given
for each box recovered. Lambert re-
ceived 4.oss. Tester e 1915 ard Davies
G2T5. The underwriters estimate OF
the cost of tho salvage before commenc-
ing the operation was l6 per cent. The
actual cost was 1902 per cent. 1t is
possible though not probable. that
slightly deeper depths may be reached
In the future, but it is doubtful whether
there will ever be more heroic diving

Br.r,an. Mountain rlowers.

All who have made pedestrian tours
Through the Alps remember the vivid
beauty of the mountain flowers. Com
parisons recently made by DR.. Dufour
show that the superior purity and
splendor Of floral colors in the Alps are
not imaginary or q mere effect of con-
trast. The reds, blues and yellows of
the mountain blossoms are much moro
intense than those of the same species
OF flowers grown at ordinary levels.
The leaves, also, have deeper and rich,
er green, and microscopic txamination
shows that chlorophyl is more abundant
In Alpine plants than in those of the
plain. Or fact which seems quite
natural. yet Ia very Interesting. is that
on tho mountains plants have relatively
smaller aerial organs and larger sub
'terranean ones. Thus, graceful flower

Structurcs Found In India, PnIestinc,
Persin and Peru.
On the continent the term dolmen Is
almost universally applied 10 the whole
construction, including the covering,
mound or cairn, says Hutchinson's Pre-
historic Man and Beast. Thus French
and other writer's speak of u chambcred
mound or tumulns as dolmen. But
since it is proablc that some never were
covered UP, it seems better to make n
distinction, as we do in this country.
In France there are said to be about
1000 dolmcns, many of which would in
England be called chambcred tumuli
The Indian dolmcns, which are not
covered up, resemble those of western
Europe. Capt. Meadows Taylor exam

tained particulars of no less than 2,12o

an opening on one side, probably for the

pie thought then), just as in tho

With regard TO the distribution of these
structures, it is said that noue is to be

a STRANGE CASE.
Woman I'm Ireland Who Changes
Color Every Year.

Color Every Year.
a remarkable freak of nature is &C.
c:sionally seen on the streets of Clough-
Mac-Nai. Ireland, in the shape of a
woman wbO wns born black in Jamaica
about As years ago. The woman, nc
cording to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
says that she remained with the char
acteristic negro color to her skin until
she was 20 years of age. when she began
rapidly turning white. the complete
transformation being made in less than
three months.
She remained white for about year,
and then turned black again, but more
slowly than the white transformation
had come upon her. When this second
change insslin color took place she was
sure that she had returned to her orig
inal color, and would remain that hue
during the balance of her life, but it
was only few short months until she
was again as white as an Albino. Since
that time the changes have yearly
taken place. the woman being black
one summer and white the next. She
suffers no pain whatever.

Since the cold weather. and especially
since the big snowstorm, the Humane
society has had complaints of unclaimed
cattle roaming about in the woods of
the neighboriDg towns, reports the
Hartford Comm Courier. Near tho
reservoir in West Hartford and Farm
ington three yearling heifers have been
reported in half-staryed condition and
80 wild that it was almost impossible
TO get near them. Ore was reported
near Pipe swamp in Windsor and Cen
cral Agent Dwight ". Thrnll. of the
society detailed u man to go up there
and shoot the animal. This was done,
the heifer being killed instantly with
the first shot after getting within rea-
sonablc distance.
The proba abilities are that these ami
mails ere strnys from some pasture dur
ing the summer season and have been
given up for lost. During the early win
ter, before the ground is covered with
snow, they manage to pick up enough
to eat by picking away in sheltered
places at the little remaining vegeta-
ton and keep warm by seeking the
deep thickets of woods, notably pine or
heElock. where the fallen leaves make
n comfortable bed. When the snow
comes, however, they wander from the
forest into the open and approach the
settlements. hoping for something to
eat. They seldom come within reach
Of aid, and if they are not shot they die
of starvation.
