A fast leaked out recently wA5eh -
dicates the bearing Soma Of the eoolA-
ingly harmless bills passed ~ -
eral assembly havs ON large interea
One OF these bills which passed o -
last session without any discussion,
prohibited the building Of any railway
lines through any graveyard. Little
Vas known OF its purposes, but at tAat
time Of the session bills for the pension
ing OF civil war veterans and their wtd-
ows and such other benevolent meas
ures were being passed more or Iess
regularly along with patriotic resolu-
tons. and what little was said about the
bill was thrown out In such way . TO
appeal to the sentiment OF the soIons.
In an ehort to prevent the dissertation
OF graves. however, the legislators took
. STEP the Importance OF which they
never realized, and the facts alleged
II the case follow: Ever since the
Chicago q West Michigan railway was
built, it, western terminal was At New
Buffalo, where it formed junction
with the Michigan Central, over the
tracks OF which 1t entered Chicago. As
the bustness OF the road developed, 1t
was found that the trackage charges
made inroads into the income OF the
company to the point where IT was
deemed desirable to do away with them.
Accordingly the heads OF the road de-
ctded to build their own line into Chi
cago, and accordingly. through their
agents. began to purchase rights OF
way wherever desired. Most OF the
proposed route ran through the sand
dunes along the upper end OF Lake
and Porter counties, and here the
knickerbocker Ice company, OF Chi
cago, owns vast tracts OF land from
which It takes sand for its ice houses
and Tor building purposes In Chicago.
The new route OF the railway VIII cut
through their most valuable sand de-
posits, and the Knickerbocker company
steadfastly refused to sell.
Only . few weeks before the open
Ing OF the legislature the railway com
pany announced that 1t proposed 70

depths the entire contents of Il ships
hold, and its divers issuing from the sea-
door can easily stop CUPS and leaks in
sunken vessels and enable those OH the
surface to raise them. 1t will make the
extent, for it Gun rise under Il vtsstl and
send out dryers, who, standing on the
Argonaue's deck, can scrape the barna-
clps and seasrowths from hull.
1t will also revolutionize the oyster in
dustry. When in Chesapeake bay, cruis
ing. the old Argonaut frequently settled
down on oyster beds and. with the per-
mission of the owners, procured all the
oysters desired by reaching down through
the sea-door. The new Argonaut can
employ this method of gathering oysters
rising to the surface when her diving
room is full, or send out divers who can
place the oysters collected In baskets or
receptaclcs which those on the surface
can haul up. When bays or rivers ure
frozen over and 0ystcrmen cannot ply
their trade the Argonauts cun go under
the ice. Fishing can also BE- carried OH
easily OH the bottom with nets, for the
fish have no fear of the object they evil
IDENTIFY consider whale, and swim from
every direction towards the glare of the
electric lights shining through the ports
Sponge-fShing will engage the uttcn-
ton OF the first successful submarine vUy
ayers. Good :sponges are becoming dear
or, for the supply in shallow water is
running short. The divers cannot go
deeper than twenty-five feet. and the best
sponges are found III deep water. 10
this deep wuter the Argohaut will co.
and, gathering the finest sponges, put
them on the market ut price no greater
than that paid for the common varieties
She will also:try pearl-fshing, now con-
ducted at an. enormous expense of life,
for by strange freak of nature pearl
oysters are generally found in localities
where bad weather prevails and hurri-
canes and typhoons are frequent These
the Argonaut, under the water, need not
fear, and her divers, instead of gathering
up the oysters, by the single handful, can
gather them by the bushel,-Charlrs 8.
