THE DIVER ON wARsHIPs.
a Very Necessary Adjunct to til
Modern Man-Of-W War.

A Very Necessary Adjunct to the
Modern Man-Of-War.
From the Philadelphia Times
If Paul Jones in ghostly guise wanders
around the warships of our new navy he
must see many surprising accessories to the
fighting and working forces as organized in
his day. One novel and necessary addition
to the crew of a warship of the present
time is the submarine diver. The impor-
lance of this individual to the welfare of a
Warsh1p has been amply shown during the
recent operations against the Spanish fleets
Speed mas been the most important point in
the maneuvering during the opening events
OF the war, and this has rendered it neces-
sary for our ships to be in the best possible
trim for fast work, as owing to the lack of
dry docks to enable us to clean the foul
bottoms of our vessels when they come off
long voyage it has been necessary to send
divers down to do the work as best they
could.
1t has not been done we'll, but it has been
the best kind of substitute that could be
found for the proper article The SUBJ
marine divers are able only to scrape away
they are so Handicapped by the heaviness
and unhandiness of their dress that 1t is
impossible to do the work in any but a
clumsy and incomplete way.
But good or bad, the diver has become a
necessary part Of the ships crew. Many
Warshlps carry one or more trained divers
He must be possessed Of an exceptionally
strong constitution, and, above all without
the slightest tendency to any heart weak
ness.
Every foot the diver descends, the great
er, of course, becomes the pressure, and at
the deepest descent made, namely, 200 feet,
the pressure was as much as eighty-eight
pounds to the square inch. 1t is, however.
only but rarely that it Is necessary to go to
such depths this, but even working IN
shallow water most men suffer very severe
ly at first, and emerge from their diving
suit with racking head and a bleeding from
the nose and ears. In truth every time he
descends the diver takes his life in his
hand, for anything going wrong with the
air supplying gear would place him in q very
hopeless position.
The diving apparatus In use in our navy
Is costly affair. The method of its work.
ing Is simple. long coil Of tubing supplies
the diver with oxygen, and by means of a
coil of rope attached to his person he can
signal by pulls to the surface, and be raised
when the work is done. To descend, the
diver has, of course, to be heavily weight
ed. The weights carried on breast and
back weigh some eighty pounds, while the
heavy leather boots with their leaden soIes
weigh another twenty pounds. The weight
of the helmet, which is ingeniously fitted
with valves to allow the vitiated air to es-
cape, Is no less than forty pounds, and to
this must be added the weight of the rub

heavy underclothing worn by the diver.

Mr.. Thomas Kelly, machinist EMPLOYED

Mr.. Kelly was at work In the shop during

q ball of fire flashed across the room to
the anvil, the hammer descended striking
1t and scattering fragments of the ball in
all directions with q loud report. Mr., Kelly
was thrown across the room against his
workbench and the hammer few from his
hand and struck the ceiling with consid-
cradle force.
GtSTy piece OI u.etdl IN tne Snop which
was struck by the fragments was either
burned or melted at the point OF contact
and the hammer, tongs and other tools
about the anvil were strongly magnetised,

they would attract small pieces Of metal
and filings. Mr.. Kelly was not seriously
injured, but did not recover from the shock
until late at night. It IL supposed that the

From the Cleveland Leader
Readers Of war news must be struck nv

readers Lave probably wondered how it
happened that no such castles were en-
countered at Matanzas, Cardenas and Glen

The expls nation Of this occurrence of the
name MORO Castle" is found in the fact
that the word MORO" means sspromon

sea through narrow channels, usually long

"Chickens Come Home to Roost."

Under the above heading the Ft. Smith Journal discusses the trouble between U. s. Marshal Stahl and his employees. It seems the "ireg- ularities" about the feeding of the jurors has all been shufflsd off upon the broad shoulders of Jim Parker, the "Chief Bailitf" Among other things the Journal says:
 "balliff Parker at the beginning of Mir. StahPs administration was appointed as second bailiff and J. IL. Russell of Green Forest, appoint ed first bailiff. Parker hung around the city with nothing to do, until he got Russell's position as first bailiff, and Russell was noti- fed that his services were no long CT required. Some charges were brought against Russell, alleging irregularities as an excuse for firing him. Russell tried to get an in vcstigatlon to prove his innocence, but was unable to find out from whence the charges came. Being perso nally acquainted with him we can only say there is not a young man in Carroll county who has a better reputation for honesty and veracity than ]. l.. Russell.
 MT. Russell keenly felt the dis grace of his discharge, but could only take his medicine and retire, leaving MT. Parker in possession. Now, the "chickens have come home to roost" and there is no secrecy about the charges, either. The best part of the joke, too, is that the charges will fall on Rus sells successor"

THE Democratic press of thi.

THE Democratic press of this congressional district is urging upon the voters in strong terms to cast the entire strength of the party for Hugh A. Dinsmore for congress. These papers had just as well be singing Psalms to dead horse. The people, as whole, are sick and tired of so many elec- tions, and in as much as this is an off year in politics, they are not going to pay but little attention to the election. Of course, Mir. Dins- more will be elected. but we pre-. dict that he will recieve the small est vote he has eyer received in the district. All this could be remedied by the consolidation of the elections and the state saved $100,000 to say nothing of the annoyance ot so many elections.

If young Jesse had boon injured by that explosions; if his arm and foot or leg had been blown off; if I brought that arm and leg or foot into court and proved that it belonged to him, and that he lost it in the hold.np, even then he would be acquitted.
