CRUSHED A DIVING BELL.
he Tremendous Water Pressure at
Great Depths Shown by an
Odd Accident.

A crushed mass of iron in a Pitts
burgh scrapyard demonstrates the ire
nendous pressure of water at great
depth, says the New York World.
Is was constructed for a diving bell
for use in Lake Michigan. AS originally
constructed it was about six feet square
and tapered slightly at both ends. The
material was phosphor bronze, more
than half an inch thick. Each plate
was cast with a fange, and they were
bolted together, the bolts being placed
as closely as was consistent with
strength. The side plates were further
strengthened by iron ribs an inch thick
and two inches wide.
In fact, the entire structure was
strongly braced. The windows to be
used as outlooks by the divers were
three inches square, fortified with iron
bars and set with glass plates an inch
thick. The weight of the bell was 3d.
900 pounds.
When completed it was sent to Mil
waukee and towed out into the lake
about ~ miles, where there was over
200 feet of water, and was sent down
for test The manufacturer was so
confident of the strength of the bell
that he wanted to go down in it.
He is glad now that he didn't. When
the bell reached the depth of about 100
feet strong timbers attached to it came
to the surface in a splintered condition
Suspecting an accident, the bell was
hauled up and found to be crushed into
a shapeless mass. The inch-thick plate
glass bull's-eyes were shattered. The
pressure that crushed this seemingly
invulnerable structure amounted to
total of 2,723,548 pounds, of 1862 tons

TRUTH AND A TRUNK.
Look Out for baggage If n WOm-
an Tells You 1t Isn't
Heavy.

I know a woman who travels around
the country with a trunk as big as a
house, says a writer in the Philadelphia
Press. Protests of husband and friends
are of no avail, and it seems to me the
case is a perfectly proper one for the
Anti-Cruelty society. When l men
toned this to the lady with the trunk
she said: But they are only to look
after children and animals"
perhaps they can twist their con-
stitution to get the baggageman under
the head of animals and prosecute you"
She did not appear at all discomposed.
The last time she went away groaned
for the eXpressman. The house was in
an awful turmoil and the trunk was on
the third floor.
Its not very heavy" heard her say.
AT the remark the expressman imme
diately called his helper from the
wagon. Il always know what that
MEANS" he said, with a knowing nod to
the maid. When he got upstairs he
could hardly lift one end. "Never
failed" he said. "When they say it's
light it's dead sure to be heavy. They
don't mean it, but they can't tell the
truth about trunk. / don't know
whether they think we don't know
about weight, or We'll charge them less
If they say it's light, or what, but we
always look out for the trunk that's
called light" Then he and his helper
tugged and pulled and jammed holes
in the wall as they went downstairs.

BLEACHING A NEGRO.
Strange Story from Vienna of the
Effect of ELECTRICITY Upon
a Black Skin.

Two years ago, according to the Vi
emma Fremdenblatt, a Niennese mer-
chant brought back from a business
trip in Africa a Soudanese negro 10
years old, named Ibual Lacho.
Ibual soon learned the ways of VI
emma, beginning with the German Ian
guage, astonishing the boulevards with
elegant costumes and finally acquiring
certain fashionable nervous disorders.
These a famous homeopathic specialist
subjected to electrical treatment.
Strange to say, Ibual began to grow
white, gradually passing through the
conference.-the stages, until he became
in complexion Caucasian, though the
shape of his face remained unchanged.
Ibuars doctor thinks that the black
pigment in the boys skin was gradually
disintegrated and washed out, as it
were, by the electrical current. The
chief coloring matter, melanin, or pig
mentum nigrum, found in the eye, hair.
and skin of the negro, contains iron and
strongly reacts upon electrical applica-
ton.
American puySiClduS VIII h"ANiJ
know how seriously to take this report
1t is well known, however, that negroes
are much more susceptible to the action
of electricity than white men. There
have been several cases of the severe
burning of negroes by the application
of the y ray, usually harmless to white
skins. 1t is now generally considered
dangerous to X-ray black man.

A CRAB FAMINE.
An Unexpected Scarcity Causes o
Rise of Three Hundred Per
Cent. in Price.

The prices of crabs have risen 300 per
season the price per dozen is in the
neighborhood of 25 cents. This year
crabs bring from 60 to rs cents per
dozen. From one dollar a barrel the
price has scared to three dollars, four
dollars, and even five dollars. AS q
usual thing New Workers consume
about 25 barrels of crabs each day. For
the past few months, since the severe
cold weather of the winter, the leaders
have been compelled to be contented
with whatever they could get. Some
days not more than four barrels would
be resolved. The supply has varied
from that amount to Is barrels. The
famine is due to the severe cold
weather of last winter. 1t usually oc--
ours that after exceeding cold weather
the supply of shell fish becomes scant.
Five or six months time is required to
get the sources of supply back to their
normal producing condition. The very
cold weather of last winter had the eff
feet of driving the crabs to hibernate
in the mud and to seek deeper and
warmer water. The alternating crabs
have not yet made their way out of the
mud, and it will remain for the next
change of tide to uncover them. Dur
ing the winter months the crab supply
is received from Norfolk, a few from
and from the lower points
on the Chesapeake bay. In summer
the Potomac river supplies the crabs
used in the city.

SPANISH STRATEGY.
B. Shining Example of 1t That LIS
Now Reported for the
First Time.

f "The newspaper correspondence with
cameras in their hats and pencils stick
ing out of their pockets like quilts on
a porcupine, didn't get hold of every
thing that happened in the late war, "
remarked the lieutenant to the Har-
per's Bazaar man. There was the time
the Spanish fooled the One Hundred
and Twenty-seventh volunteers, for in
stance"
'How was it, lieutenant?" asked
somebody.
''Why, it was the sharpest trick you
ever heard of, and simple as A, B, G.
You know, the One Hundred and Twen-
ty-seventh is made up of men from New
York city-all heroes, of course, but
still they are accustomed to the civil
walks of life. And the civil walks of life,
taken literally, nowadays, are peculiar
paths.
1t was at San Juan. The regiment
had been ordered to advance and lie
down close among some low bushes.
The Spaniards were only a short dis
tance in front. The firing had ceased
III IidC uelS upOIhOou anu al was SIlll'
Our men were in a state of intense
though suppressed excitement. You
could never guess what those crafty
Spaniards did. Suddenly they rang a
bicycle bell and followed it with cable
car gong. The One Hundred and TWEEN
ty-seventh jumped into the air as one
man. The Spaniards blazed away and
tried to take 'em on the wing. Of
course they didn't hit thing, because
Spaniards never do; but if they had
been good shots they might have
bagged the whole regiment. And 1
wouldn't be surprised if they'd had an
elevated road guard yell Step lively'
that they could have stampeded every
last man."
