COMPLETE OUTFIT OF A DIVER

will make it clear that the dress is held
in position by its rubber collar, with
the aid of the breastplate-flan and
wing-nuts.
The upper edge of the breastplate is
fitted with a neck-ring and a seq
mental screw. The use of this we
shall presently explain.
The boots are of stout leather, with
leaden soles, and are secured over the
instep by buckles and straps. The pair
weighs 30 pounds-four pounds over
the quarter of hundredweight. The
lead soles are firmly attached by cop
per rivets. The tongues of the boots
are very wide. Boots intended for
rough work are fitted with metal toe
caps. Thus Misunderstanding dress,
breastplate, and boots-is our diver
arrayed. He has now to be weighted.
Lead weights of 40 pounds each shield
or heart-shaped, are suspended back
and front by means of gunmetal clips,
and studs or tabs, and lashings. He
has now only to put on his helmet and
to affiX the air-pipe.
The helmet, like the breastplate. is
of timed copper, and is fitted with a
segment bayonet-screw at the neck,
corresponding to that mentioned as
belonging to the breastplate. The
eighth of turn, and the helmet is
firmly secured, being both air and
water-tight. 1t has three strong
plate glasses in brass frames, protect
ed by guards, two oval at the sides. and
round one in front. The front can
be unscrewed to enable the diver to
give orders without removing any
other portion of the dress. An outlet
valve is provided at the side or back
of the helmet, which the diver can
close should ne wish to rise to the sur
face. This valve allows the breathed
air to escape, yet prevents the en-
trance of water.
AT the side of the front glass is me-
chanical arrangement for getting rid
of the excess of air, and it also assists.
when the back outlet-valve is closed.
in regulating the expansion of the
dress in rising to the surface. There is
also an inlet-valve, and this is con-
structed so as to allow the air to en-
ter, but not to escape in case of
break in the air-pipe. The air-pipe
is made in lengths of from As to 60
feet, fitted together by means of gun
metal joints. Securely connected
with the helmet by means of the inlet
valve and an elbow-tube, the other
end of the air-pipe is fitted on to the
nozzle of the air-delivering diving
pump.
His leather belt is buckled on; his
knife, well sharpened, and of good
strong steel, covered with a metal
case to keep it dry and intact, is slung
upon 1t; and after taking drink, or
little light refreshment, the word is
given: "All right" the face-glass
screwed on, and receiving a tap on
the helmet as a signal to descend,
down he goes by rope or ladder, either
of which must be weighted at the bot

MARE AND PANTHER.
Description of n Desperate Battle he
tween Animals Recently Wit
messed In Maine.

A writer in the Youths Companion
tells of a desperate battle which he
witnessed in Maine between a mare
and panther. The mare and her colt
were in an inclosure when the hungry
panther made its appearance at the
fence. Vixen, the mare, watched the
lank, tawny creature stealthily ap-
proach, evidently with the object OF
dining off the colt. The little animal
had run under it's mothers neck and
stood there trembling. The marauder
leaped for his prey, but quick as a
fash the mare turned and met him in
the chest with her heels. The panther

DRESS OF A DIVER.
Pounds and Is Described ms Be-
Ing Very Complicated,

"Under the Sea" is an article about
divers in st. Nicholas. 1t is written
by James Cassidy, who says: The
dress of fully-equipped diver weighs,
in round numbers, 40 pounds. Taking
off his everyday garb, the diver pulls
on his thick underclothing-a white
knitted sweater and trousers, and
pair of ribbed stockings, also white.
Should he intend to work in unusually
deep water, he puts on two, sometimes
three, sets of underclothing, to relieve
the pressure of the water.
The wooden clothing donned, the
next garment is the diving-dress,
measuring, for man of average
height, five feet Ave inches from the
collar to the sole of the foot. This
dress is made of solid sheet India-rub-
ber, covered on both sides with tanned
twill. 1t has double collar, the in
ner one to pull up round the neck, and
the outer one, of red india-rubber, to
go over the breastplate and form a
water-tight joint. The cuffs also are
of red india-rubber and fit tightly
round the wrists, making, when Sc
cured by the vulcanized india-rubber
rings, water-tight joints, at the same
time leaving the divers hands free.
In the outer collar 12 holes are bored
for securing the breastplate. This is
made of timed copper. The outer
edge is of brass, and has 12 screws
firmly fitted to it at intervals, and
projecting upward. These projections
pass through the corresponding holes
in the outer collar If the dress.
The band of the breastplate is in
four sections, and the holes in the Sec
tions pass over the projecting screws,
and are secured in place by wing-nuts
or thumb-screws, as the illustration
shows. A little careful consideration

WHAT'S IN THE JUGa
How Foolish Farmer Billson Organ
lied an Abstinence Society md
became a Wise Man.

We remember having once met a
farmer going home from town. He
was in wagon equipped with hog
rack making it evident that he had
been delivering his hogs. He was in a
particularly hilarious frame of mind
and at our approach flourished two
gallon jug and asked us to take one
with him."
whats in the jug?" we asked.
"a whole hog, an good-sized one,
too" he answered.
That the hog was reduced to liquid
form was evident. This man Is
brought to mind by a story told on
Farmer Billson who, like many an
other man who is not a farmer, was
addicted to the drink habit. He came
to town one summer morning with a
wagon-load of corn, sold it, and start
ed for dry goods store to make few
purchases. There was a saloon on the
way.
Farmer Billson stepped inside to
take drink. Two or three drinks fol-
lowed, and then he lost all recollec-
ton.
Late in the day he woke to find him
self lying under tree. He was about
halfway home. His patient horses
were nibbling the grass by the road
side. He gathered himself up, felt in
his pockets, found his money all gone
bu. seven cents, and then went and
looked in his wagon to see what he had
bought.
There was jug about three-fourths
full of whisky-and nothing else.
twenty-five bushels of corn" he
said, "for three quarts of corn juice!
Old man." he continued, seizing the
jug by the handle, and raising it above
his head, "this won't do! Old man
here he brought the jug down with all
his might on the iron tire of one of the
hind wheels, to the utter destruction
of the jug and the total loss of the
corn juice-"we'll organize a tota,
abstinence society right now!'
This happened years ago. Farmer
Billson is still a member of that total
abstinence society, IN good standing

BRITISH IN AMERICA.
It II Estimated That british Sub
5ects Own Twenty Million
Acres Here.

How much property do British sub
iects own in America? The aggregate,
based on absolute facts, is known to
be at least 2e,o00,G00 acres. ..
The largest Of all is probably the
Texas possessions Of the syndicate,
which includes in its membership the
dukes of Beaufort and Rutland, Earl
Cadogan and Baroness Burdett-Coutts.
The total amount Of land held by
this association is 100000 acres. It is,
as is the case with most CT the Texas
land, largely composed Of what is called
range country; that is, land that is bet
tc,' adapted for cattle raising than any
thing else. D.-. s.2e
Cattle and wheat are what the Brit
ISL investor seems to think money
should be made on in the United States.
That is why the syndicate represented
by the British capitalist Vincent Soul
ly owns 100000 acres of land in Ne
brasl6a, Iowa and Illinois. This prop
erty is situated in the heart of the
wheat growing section. "a .".r.. =.

Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico.
This is purely cattle country, and on
it range thousands of head of live stock.
There is another syndicate which in

Lord Twecddale is a syndicate in him
self and owns 100000 acres. Like

MEND1NG TABLE LINEN.
To Do 1t Right II Something Of an
Art-A Hint About Laundering.

After the season of snow and frost is
at an end the careful housekeeper often
finds frayed and crack d places in her
most cherished table linen and tow e.
ings. These heavy linens are. more apt
to show the effect of frost than finer
goods, because they are usually made
up in larger pieces, which are more bent
and twisted while being brought in
from the line. No linen goods should
be allowed to freeze. If there is any
suitable place to dry them in the house
during cold weather they should be
dried within doors. In many houses
there is no convenient place and the
choice of the lesser evil is to dry them
outdoors. ~ -
1t is an art to mend table linen or any
damask linen goods properly. Do not
wait until a rent appears, but darn the
linen, if possible, as soon as it becomes
frayed and thin, before the threads
have broken apart. Use thread about
the same size as the thread of the goods,
thread, little finer. Where the linen
has been torn or has broken apart fast
en- under the rent a thin piece of linen
cambria strong piece of an old hand
kerchief will do. Draw the parts Of the
tear together. Trim off the uneven
threads and, with little of the ravel-
ings of the linen, replace them and
weav. the stitches in to keep the edges
together for about ali inch on each
side Of the rent, sewing them through
tie back of the linen cambria. If this
work is carefully done it will be quite
difficult to trace the tear, providing the
linen has been properly washed and
ironed after it was mended. - n. Y.
