The Divers Heavy Dress.

The dress of fully equipped diver
weighs 169 pounds and costs about
$500. 1t is made up, among other
things. of IL pounds of thick under
clothing. The dress itself weighs IA
pounds, and the heavily weighted boots
weigh 80 pounds. The breast and back
piece weigh 80 pounds, and the helmet
35 pounds.
The greatest depth at which diver
can ordinarily work is $50 feet, though
there are rare instances of work being
done at a depth of 210 feet, where the
pressure sustained is 88 IL pounds to
the square inch. 1t is not generally
known that the present system OF div
ing was first suggested by the action OF
the elephant, which swims beneath the
surface, breathing meanwhile through
it's trunk, which it holds above the
water.

The Unit of Heat.

We cannot, of course, measure heat
by yards, pints or pounds, but the unit
of heat (the standard measure Of that
phenomencn) has been agreed upon by
those whose business it is to philoso-
phize on that subject to be that guam
tity which can raise a pound of water
one degree. Now to turn pound OF
water into a pound of steam requires
81 Of these units of heat-that is to
say, if we boil a pound of water until 1t
all goes away lin steam we shall have
used, in doing so, a quantity OF heat
which would have raised 967 pounds
of water one degree higher in tempera-
ture.

BY the census just completed In
France, the population of that country
is shown to be 3S,517,975, which is an
increase of only 175,O27 over the popu-
lation it had in 1891. This is an omi-
nous showing, but the Minister of the
Interior is trying to minimize the alarm
it has produced by pointing out that Of
late years there has been large emf
grafton to the colonies, especially to
Algeria, and that more troops are now
kept in remote possessions than form
erly. At the same time, he is COM
PEELED to confess that there is marked
tendency in the population to remain
almost stationary and that it does not
increase in anything like the same pro-
portions as its neighbors. While in
twenty-four departments the inhabi-
tants have increased, there has been an
absolute diminution in siYty-three.
Oddly enough, this census shows that
fewer foreigners are settled in France
than was the case in 1891. In that year
the number of the alien residents was
given as 1,101, 1893, while now it is 1927
191. This falling off is attributed to
the law on nationality promulgated in
1889, and also to the efforts made to pro-
tect the interests of the French work
man against foreign rivals.

LAND OF TOYS.
Great Attention Paid to Children's Plea

Great Attention Paid to Children's Pea
sures in Mexico.
Mexico has often been called the land
of sunshine and the land of flowers,
but it might with equal reason be
called the land of toys. There is proba-
bly, no city in the world where more
attention is paid to the production OF
everything that will please and amuse
children. There are street peddiers
without number, sidewalk booths and
great stores that do nothing but sell
toys.
A great surprise is in store for the
average American upon coming to
Mexico. The stores are wonders of
beauty and completeness. But from the
outside one gains little idea of the
beautiful things inside. A window full
of dolls is all you see; you go in ana
ask, either in words or signs, to sse
the toys and you are taken upstairs
into wonderland and shown toys ini-
ported from every part of the. world.
The dolls are from three inches high
to three feet, beautifully dressed and
cost in gold from 50 cents to $40. There
are baskets beautifully lined, in. which
you will find doll of any size yea
wish, dressed completely, and beside
her will be from three to twelve COM
plete suits of underclothes, dresses,
shoes and hats. lou will see entire
bed room sets, brass beds with canopy
tops, all made up, with lace draperics,
a wash stand with complete toilet set,
and the dresser. Another thing for
girls. which would complete the play
house is cooking stove. These range
in size from 2 by IL feet to the larg-
est, 8 by 2 IL feet. The largest one is
the most complete. 1t has an oven a
foot wide by two long, and under this
is an alcohol burner; then, on top CT
the stove are six holes, with utensils
that will hold about pint each, ami
under each of these holes is an alcohol
burner. 1t has hot water tank, and
besides the six utensils is a wash boiler.
The musical toys are numberless
There are bears that dance as tao
music box plays; boys that play leap
frog to music, and negro boys that
play the banjo and dance. There is nc
limit to the number of different kinds
Boys cannot help being pleased with &
miniature stable, with horses, carriages
and harness all complete. There are
jockey outfits, and steam engines with
alcohol fires, and in fact every kind ol
toy under the sun can be found in
Mexico, from the funny rag dolls made
by the Indians to completely furnished
houses imported from Europe.-Moderr

A Pneumatic Tire Test.

In a paper presented lately by A. J..
Michelin to the French Society of Civil
Engineers, the author gives sugges-
tive account of his experiments with
the pneumatic tire and the ordinary
wheels. The first experiment was made
on three days, that is, when the ground
was covered with three inches OF snow,
also when the snow was melting, and
then when the ground was muddy. The
results showed that when the empty
carriage moved at walk through the
snow, the draft or pull required to aove

At the conclusion of the Mellor trial
this morning, the case of the People VS..
James Ryan, charged with malicious mis-.
chief, was taken up. Attorney Patton
conducted the prosecution and Judge
Wright the defense. Ryan was charged
with breaking the windows of Long

sentenced to Imprisonment until next

The case of Emmet Mennan, charged
with larceny of horse and buggy in
May 1894. was then put on trial with At
torney Patton for the prosecution and O..

moved that the jury be instructed to ac-
quit under the statute of limitations. The
motion was sustained and the Judge so
ordered the jury.
The case of George Osborn, charged
with assault with intent TO kill, came
next on the docket, with Messrs. Patton
and Duncan for the prosecution and o.
F. Johnson for the defense. The case
will probably be finished today.
