A DIVING BELL CRUSHED.

[From the PittSburg Chronicle
A crushed mass of iron in a Pitts
burg scrap yard demonstrates the ire
mendous pressure of water at a great
depth
1t was constructed for 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 f1ange, and
they were bolted together. the bolts be-
ing placed as closely as was consistent
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 %,
600 pounds.
When completed it was sent to Mil
waukee and toWed out into the lake
about u miles, where there were over
200 feet of water, and was sent down
for a 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 bulls-eyeS were shattered. The
pressure that crushed this seemingly
invulnerable structure amounted to a
total of 2, 1913 548 pounds, or I, 1852 tons.
