officer instruoting divers in this establish
ment describes it thus: The man is sign
aled to and asked If he is all right, and
to come up, and still there is no reply;
then he is pulled up to the surface, when
he often regains consciousness and strikes
out to get hold of the ladder. The man
when questioned about it says he did
not notice the signals, or that he does
not remember anything about it, The
signals are good heavy pulls on the
breast rope. When a man gets under the
surface of the water his body is subject
ed TO considerable pressure in proportion
to depth, varying from eight and quar-
ter pounds to the square inch at twenty
feet depth to sixty-five and a half pounds
to the square inch at $50 feet depth. In
conclusion. Surgeon Stephens recommends
that no man should go down after a
heavy meal, probably two hours after
light breakfast being the best time. No
man should ascend or descend more
quickly than one foot per second in shall
low water, that is, under five fathoms,
and in deeper water one foot in five
seconds, with frequent stoppages to al
low the ears to be eased and the body to
accommodate itself to the altered pres

utes to descend twelve fathoms, includ-
ing stoppages. No man should be al
lowed to stay at a depth of fifteen
fathoms for longer than one hour at a
time without coming to the surface.

the Virginia Legislature were in CORE
spondence with respect to penal colony,
one would have been established, Had
the United States then owned Alaska,
the Philippines, Hawaii, or any of the
other islands we have acquired in the
last eighty or ninety years, some one of
them might have been selected for such
a purpose Virginia ana the other South
ern States were then fully alive to the
dangers of negro uprisings, and would
not have hesitated to adopt energetic
measures of repression The old Republic
can or Jeffersonian party was so strong
in Congress that 1t could have carried
out any policy it deemed essential, and
with Virginia leading the way there can
be little doubt that she would have in
duced all her Southern sisters to follow
her. Slavery having been abolished, the
social and political conditions which, dur
ing its existence, inspired the project, are
no longer operative, but in the opinion of
the African Methodist bishop a criminal
state of affairs has arisen which makes
the consideration of the old proposition
very nearly imperative
The question naturally suggests itself
If the more heinous crimes committed by
black men should be punished by banish-
ment, why not deal out the same meas
ure of justice to whites that stand in the
same criminal category? Why make fish
of one and flesh of the other. The cost
of crime, that Is the annual taxation,
federal, state, county, city and town, on
account of the criminal classes, is esti-
mated by a competent authority to be
upwards OF two hundred millions of dol
lars per annum. The great army Of
criminals at large in the country is es-
timated at three hundred and fifty thous-
and These figures are of startling sig
nificance. Might not the certainty of life
Punishment have the effect of turning
large percentage of these outlaws from
their evil ways?

It was said once that very fine yacht
of the type of Columbia could be built
for $80,000 but that the very best OF ev-
erything is put into the racers, which,
exclusive of the splendid workmanship,
amounts up to a fortune. The cost OF
the Defender was about 100000, against
$50 900 for the Puritan and $4,000 for the
old America. From this it will be seen
that the price of cup defenders has gone
up tremendously in recent years and that
the days of the past, when it was COM
paratively an easy task to build and own
a cup defender, are not to come again. IL
will also be seen from this what the In
dependence is to cost her owner, who,
like Sir Thomas Upton, is going the
game alone" In these days when money
is as much of a factor as the mold OF the
Yacht herself, the price of the sails alone
of a modern champion are about what
it would cost to build a stanch merchant
vessel of the same size as the cup de-
Tenders themselves.
Though the initial expense of the build
ing of a defender seems to be the greater.
the actual tuning up of the yacht and
the expenses of her crew and her tender,
and her docking. and her hundred and
one other requirements is hardly any less.
In each succeeding yacht race more at
tention is given to the selection of the
crew. From thirty to fifty men are re-
quired to handle the enormous sails of
the latter-day racers. In all cases pro-
vision must be made for housing and
keeping these men On board the yachts

DIVERS DISEASES AND PERILs.
An English Naval Surgeon Tells of
the sufTerings of Those Who Work
Under Water.

From The London Globe.
The latest report on the health of the
navy contains some important remarks
on the accidents and diseases caused by
diving operations, contributed by Sur
geon Henry N. Stephens, Royal Navy.
The diving operations in his Majesty's
navy are carried out by men who have
received a special training in this branch
at one Of the three gunnery establish
ments. The principal causes OF rejection
are % tobacco heart, which in its slight
est form shows itself by a muffling of
the heart sounds and in its more ad-
vanced form by bruits and irregularity,
cts; % alcoholic subjects are rejected on
the slightest suspicion; CD degeneration
of the blood vessels, as evidence by
varicose veins. etc. Bull-necked men are
rejected II over thirty-five years OF age
on account of their tendency to apoplexy.
and men are rejected who suffer from
nervousness.
In the novice the effects OF diving may
be classed under two headings, namely.
% hunger, C9 sleepiness. In the first
place, the digestive functions are slim
ulated by Que or a combinations OF the
following causes: (a) owing TO the in
creased pressure OF ar WINE uiNihB,
there Is probably an increase metabolism

Banishment as Punishment for
Crime.
Copyright, 1901.)
BY John P. Foley.


Bishop Henry NJ. Turner of the Afri-
ishment of all negro criminals. In SER
mon recently preached in the city of Ma
con he declared that the United States
government should deport all the black
outlaws to Africa, and expressed the
opinion that If a few steamship lines were
established between the Southern ports
and the dark continent a profitable COM
merce may thereby be built up. 1t may
be the Bishop did not intend that he
should be taken seriously by his fellow
citizens, generally: that his object was
merely to impress upon his own race, as
forcibly as possible, his condemnation of
negro outlawry in the hope of bringing
about better conditions. He must know
that the federal government has no Ju-
risdiction over the majority of the Grim
inal acts committed by the blacks, that
the punishment of them devolves upon
the courts of the different states. and that
their judicial tribunals ere debarred from
the infection OF that form of punishment.
But this is not the only obstacle in the
way of the Bishops punitive programme.
Criminals could not be transported to At
RIGA without the consent of the Powers
which exercise sovereignty over 1t, and 1t
is very certain that no one of them would
be willing to extend welcome to miscre-
ants, either white or black.
It may be, however, that Bishop Tur-
ner had in view the fact that Thomas
jefferson, when he was President. and
James Monroe, when he was Governor
of Virginia. had a lengthy and interest
ing CORES pondence on the question of the
establishment OF a black penal colony.
The initial move in the matter was made
by the Legislature OF Virginia. which d.
rected Monroe to solicit the good Offices
Of the federal government in endeavorlng
70 obtain permission from the Sierra
Leone Company 10 send to that colony
some Negroes that had instigated an In
surrection against the state government.
Jefferson wrote 40 the American minister
in London on the subject. but nothing
came OF the application. IN discussing
the question, Jefferson did not think that
either spain or Great Britain would be
willing 20 sell 10 the United states any
part OF their possessions for such a pur-
pose. and doubted whether either the In

THAT GERMAN EXPEDITION.
Germans Sore Because There WIFI
BE no Fighting.

Berlin, April lit was asserted by a
high German official to-day that the Ger
man government does not expect the ex-
petition against Gen. Liu to lead to an
engagement, inasmuch as he will hardly
stand his ground. The expedition is more
in the nature of a threat.
A military contributor to the Berliner
Tageblatt expresses the same opinion,
pointing out that in this instance, as in
the case of the Pao Ting Flu expedition
months ago. premature publications by
the British and American press will en-
able the Chinese general, who profits by
the excellent news purveying system of
the Chinese, fed by Chinese diplomats
abroad, to retire beyond the reach Of the
allied expedition before its arrival"
This writer asserts that such prema-
ture publications have done immense
damage to the cause of the allies in
China on various occasions"
