DIVER DIES UNDER WATER.

Heart Disease Overtakes Him While He
Is In the Patapsco River.
Albert M. Olsen, diver in the en-
ploy OF the Baltimore wrecking COM
pany of Baltimore, Md, died suddenly
the other day while he was under water
in diving suit in the channel Of the
Patapsco river, off Sparrow's Point,
says an exchange. Heart disease is
supposed to have been the cause of his
death. Louis e. Broom, manager of
the Baltimore wrecking company made
the following statement in regard to
the death of Olsen: 1--WE went to the
channel off Sparrows Point for the
purpose of raising a broken spud
which was sticking up out Of the water
from the bottom of the river. A spud
Is long pole used on mud machines.
By running it through well in the
machine it sticks into the bottom of the
river and holds the machine steady
while the buckets are being operated
for dredging mud from the channel.
When We got to the place Olsen put on
the diving dress and went overheard
from a yawl boat of the mud machine.
Shortly after he had gone under water
it was noticed that he was not moving
about and signal was made to him to
ind out if he was all right. No answer
being received,I directed that he should
be signaled to come to the surface.
Again no answer was returned. A
second signal for coming up was made,
and, receiving no reply, directed that
Olsen should be hauled up. AS soon
as he was received on the deck of the
mud machine the diving dress was
opened, and it was found that Olsen
was dead. 1t is my opinion" continued
Mr.. Brown, that Olsen died of heart
disease while under water. The div
ing apparatus was working all right;
the air valve in the head of it was not
out of order, and there was no water
inside the dress. The intention of send
ing Olsen down was to have him at
tach chain to the broken spud so
that tug could pull it out of the
water. Its removal had been ordered
by the inspector in charge of the dredg-
ing operations in the channel"

and described various ways OF using
roller and ball bearings in harvesters.
Unquestionably the most practical and
satisfactory applications Of roller bear
ings to binders and mowers has been
made by the Mccormick Harvesting
Machine Company. The Particular form
used by them was patented in 1882 and
Is now to be found in all Mccormick
machines. The especially valuable fea-
ture of the Mccormick roller bearing
is seen in the form-or cage as 1t Is
called-which holds the rollers from
running together and If for any cause
the cage Is taken from the shaft the

In order to avoid the Mccormick pa

pany who claims to be the originator OF
roller bearings in harvesters has cut
out the metal in Inc ring at the ends OF
the rollers. If the cage is taken out
the rollers slip out and become filled
with grit, or worse, get lost. The
methods of the Mccormick Company
result in an annual saving Of many
thousands Of dollars to the farming
public. New devices are not embodied
in their machines until long and Oft
repeated trials have shown them to be

About Russian Juries.

The most incredible stories are told
of Russian jurymen. Thus, the fore
man of jury declared he would send
a poor fellow to prison because it hap
pened to be his (the juryman's) birth
day. Another jury had agreed upon a
verdict of guilty when the church bells
began to ring. They revised their ver-
dict because holiday had begun. A
burglar was allowed to go free because
the man whom he had robbed had re-
fused to lend him money. This, in the
opinion of the jury, was direct in
centive to crime.
