DIVER THOUGHT LOST
Is Imprisoned Under Seventy
Feet of Water.

BOONTON, n. J., April 12.-William
Hoar, a diver from New York, who
was imprisoned in seventy feet Of wa
ter in. the Jersey City reservoir here
today, was this afternoon given up for
dead by other divers who had come to
aid him.
The divers worked until the waves
on the lake caused the raft on which
the air pump rested-to pitch so that
it was impossible longer to supply the
men below with air. Then the pump
was removed to the stone dam on the
possibility that Hoar is still alive air
is still being sent down to him.
1t is possible that Hoar's wonderful
constitution enabled him to hold out
until noon, as it seemed that he sig
nailed feebly at that time. In the res
cue work the last diver to be brought
TO surface was unconscious. When he
had been revived he said he thought
Hoard had been dead for some time.
The first of the rescuing divers to sue
cumb to the cold is in a serious cOndi-
ton. His hands are swollen to twice
their normal size and blood oozed from
under his finger nails. The man had
been working increasingly from 5
o'clock in the afternoon and had moth
ing to eat during that time. Hoar was
sent here on MOndOy from New York
TO close an intake pipe in the lake.

Learning Cat Lanuuace.

Caleb Johnson, of this town, has emu
lated Prof. Garner, of monkey language
fame, by staying at home and studying
the speech Of cats. Johnson is a man Of
liberal education, having been graduated
from an Eastern college, who prefers to
live the life of a hermit, surrounded with
forty-eight cats, to mingling with the
world and dealing with more common
place situations. He lives alone on the
river road, and from morning to night
makes records on a photograph Of his
pets caterwauling
1t IS his contention that cats have a
medium of communication based on the
NEW, purr and more strident notes Of
their vocal organs He claims to have
CLASSIFIED the different calls for various
kinds OF food and drink, and maintains
that he can tell by the infection of the
cats voice whether the animal wants
water or milk. When one of his nets
IS hungry he locks it up in a room with
monograph loaded with the receiving
record When well fed and contented
ne places machine by the sleening
creature and catches every sound.
Some of the simpler folk along the
river road look upon Mr. Johnson as
uncanny. The spectacle Of a tall. gaunt
man standing in the middle Of the road
holding animated conversation with q big
tomcat, giving back meow for meow
strikes them as being a bit sinister He
mas recently introduced an Angora cat
to his school, claiming that that breed
differs radically in language from the
common short-haired puss.
The hermit says that he feels as though
he had large family of human beings
around him, and has never time to get
lonely After catalogufng the names Of

a Noble Mummy.

A man who is believed to have belong
ed to a noble English family died from
exposure in Wayne nine years ago today,
and his body still lies unclaimed in the
morgue of S. P. Frankenfield's Sons
Mack was employed for several years
by r. H Johnson, a contractor of Wayne.
He was a man of education and culture,
and, according to rumOr, was the heir to
a British title which, for some mysteri-
Gus reason he would not or could not
claim.
When the man died J. S. Pearce, at
that time an undertaken but who has
since retired, embalmed the body, and
decided to hold it until it should be
claimed. No one ever claimed it, and, as
the embalming was unusually successful,
a number of efforts have been made by
museums to purchase the body, but Mr..
Pearce says he will not surrender it ex-
cept to some member Of Mack's family
The body has been viewed by thousands
of people, many of them EngliShmen who
hoped to identify it. The skin retains its
natural color and the sandy mustache
and hair remain as in life. The nose has
become unnaturally sharp from having
been pfnched by people who doubted if the
man was really dead. Over the head of
the mummy a cuckoo clock is kept going
to keep him from getting lonesome

St. Paul VIII Not Suffer During

At meeting Of the board Of water
commissioners yesterday it was found
from the reports of watchmen that St.

the coming summer. Pleasant lake.
the head Of the reservoir system. is
one foot and two inches higher than
at the same period last year, and Vad-
nais lake, the end of the reservoir. is
four-tenths Of an inch lower This
would indicate that there is more water
now at the disposal Of the city than
a year ago.
The board made additional plans for
the extension of the system, and the
members viii shortly make a trip over
the country to decide upon the future
location of additional reservoirs along
the chain Of lakes extending twenty
four miles from the city and ending
with Bald Eagle lake. If the plans
of the board can be carried out, il is
thought that a supply of water will be
provided equal to the demands for the
next half century
SlX-lnch mains were ordered laid on
Gaultier from Atwater to Topping, and
on Capitol boulevard from Como to
Arch. A number of petitions for
mains were referred for investigation.

MORE AND MORE SUGAR
BETS WILL BE RAISED
Department of Agriculture Officials Talk
to American Association.

WASHINGTON D?~ c., April 12-The
American Beet Sugar association held a
meeting here today. about twenty-five
persons being present, and listened to adj
dresses from officials of the department of
agriculture. Secretary Wilson told the
beet sugar men that his heart was in the
development of the home sugar industry.
DR.. Wiley, the chemist, made sugges-
ttons as to the .untiliZation of the by
products of the factories.
DR.. Galloway, of the bureau of plant
industry, spoke of the visit of an agent
Of the department to Europe who inVes-
tigated the workings Of the beet sugar
seed farms in Germany, France and Aus
tria. The result of the agents observa-
tions, DR.. Galloway said, would be an eff
fort to develop the home-grow sugar
beet in the states of Washington Utah
and Colorado. The agent expressed the
opinion that he could produce a seed
from which could be grown a beet con
tanning 20 per cent of sugar. This is 4
per cent greater than the average of Eu-
rope, or a production of 80 pounds more
sugar to every ton of beets than hereto
fore has been obtained. The old officers
and board Of directors were reelected.

cabbx,s Lona journey to Collect Eare.

A story is told Of a Paris cab
man. who, it is alleged, followed an
authentic English lord in the train to
Calais, leaving his horse and cab out
side the Care du NOrd terminus. The
lord took the cab at his hotel, and told
the driver to go as quickly as possible
to the station for the Calais express.
AT the terminus the nobleman ten
dered the cabman 100-franc note,
which the jehu could not change. Wait
bit, said his lordship, TN pay you
at the ticket office"
Cabby went with the nobIeman into
the station, but when the ticket was
taken, the lord, hearing the words,
Express Calais, en- voitureI" rushed
wildly to his carriage, followed by the
driver
Lord Blank had only just time to
take his seat when the train started,
and cabby, who had also entered the
express, was whirIed away to Calais
town. En- route he was paid by the
nobleman, who also betrayed the jehu's
journey to the north and back. On
returning to Paris cabby found that
his horse and vehicle were impounded.
