FISHING WITH
DIVING ARMOR

There is one kind. and one kind
only, of fishing in the United States
in which diving armor is used.
1t is the abalone fishery of Califor-
mia.
The abalone is a shell fish which
grows so firmly attached to rocks that
it is quite impossible to tear it off with
any automatic apparatus that has yet
been devised; the only way in which
the abalone can be taken is by div
ing down to it and separating it from
the rock with a chisel.
The shellfish used to be gathered by
divers, mostly Japanese and Chinese.
who dived without suits; and at times
these men got their hands into the
open she'll of an abalone, which would
then close on them with the result
that. before they could free themselves
they would drown.
Now the divers go down IN regular

most elaborate. Foye & Eckstein will
show some models this week ranging
from so cents to s22.5O each.
Morris Chairs are more in favor

They take netted bags with them and
put the abalones in as they pry them
off. These bags are hauled up on sig
nal and returned empty.
The abalones are taken from the
shell at once and all refuse matter is
removed. Then they are washed and
placed in a pickle over night.
Next morning they are boiled and
laid on trays, which are placed in the
sun for half a day, after which they
are smoked. Then they are boiled
again and go out into the sun to dry
for two or three weeks.
Again they go into lulxewarm water
to soak and then they get another two
weeks drying, which makes them hard
and solid and ready for market. By
that time they will have shrunk so in
weight that a lot that weighed one

securing this flag (and also others for

a cordial invitation to deliver the pre-

lapse in health compelled me to finally
decline the honor. There is one thing
about these flag raisings that is very
commendable, and that is the hearty
and cordial manner in which the old
Confederate soldiers join in the exer-
cises and hail the unfurling of the
flag of a reunited people. Some of
the most eloquent and patriotic ad-
dresses on these occasions have been
made by Confederate soldiers.
