WORKS in MUD AND CAN'T SEE.
Diver Stays Below for Several Hours at
and Ia

Diver Stays Below for Several Hours at
Time and Labors.
Eyes, believe that diver gets SIS a
day for his work down on the bottom
Of the dock, but he runs the risk Of
losing his life fifteen times for every
dollar he receives" said a man on one
of the new Bishop estate wharves yes
terday, as he watched the bubbles
coming up.
The water bubbles indicated where
a diver was at work in thirty feet Of
wateror mud, for. the tide rushing
into the new dock kept the water
black during the greater portion Of the
time. A small barge was mOOred near
the bubbles, and on this two men were
busily grinding away at the pumps
which supplied the diver with air.
Near the ladder which goes down into
the water from the end Of the barge
sits a man with rope in his hand.
The diver signals his wants on this
rope, and the man sitting there carries
them out.
The work being done by the diver is
that of placing a new copper sheath
ing on the piles where it has been torn
off through driving them into the coral.
He has to do his work entirely by feel
ing, as it is impossible for him to see
through the mud. When he wishes a
piece of copper four inches square, or
any other size, to cover break in the
sheathing he signals the size up by
jerks on the rope. Then the copper is
can, be seen of his work above the wa
ter except the rising bubbles, and all
that can be heard is a dull thud when
he hurls his hammer in the mud and
drives nail home" through the
sheathing and piling.
The diver employed is one of the
eldest in Honolulu. He is, Of course,
encased in divers armor, but it is re
markable even then the length of time
he is capable of staying under water
at his work. Sometimes he only stays
underneath the surface a couple of
hours, but oftentimeS he remains under
the surface for six or seven hours. A
rubber pipe leads from the barge pump
to his armor, and through this the air
is forced. 1t leaves the air-tight armor
suit through cap in the divers he'll
met, and such force is used in sending
the air through that he has new air
to breathe about every second. After
leaving the. helmet the air goes into
the water with such force that as it
rises to the surface it stirs the water
up to such an extent that one would
imagine that a steamers propeller was
working down below instead of man.

Magnetic Sands.

In the district of Stavanger, in the
southwestern part of Norway, there is
a place called Jaederen, fat strip of
coast less than a mile long, which is
notorious for shipwrecks. Now a Nor
wegian physicist has discovered that
the sand Of Jaederen is strongly mag
netic, owing to an admixture of mag
netic iron ore. He found also that at
a distance Of three miles from the
shore a ships compass showed devia-
ton Of whole degree from its true
position. The cause OF the numerous
shipwrecks, therefore, is obvious.

men got together and marched up the

petition of Colonel William F. Cody

A decision in the case was not ex-
pected before tomorrow at the earliest,
but the courtroom was filled with resi-
dents of Sheridan and the surround
ing country when it was given After
the reading of deDositions was finished
to-day the attorneys for both sides an
nOunced that they would submit the
case without argument. After short
recess Judge H. III. Scott asked the at
torneys for the defendant to amend
their answer in the case by striking
out those sections which dealt with
charges against Bessie Isbell, Cody's
conduct in Chicago and his early ex-
cesses at Fort Mcpherson. When this
was done the court found entirely In
favor OF the defendant, Mrs. Louisa
Cody.
Judge Scott delivered an opinion Of
| considerable length. reviewing the al
legations and evidence and giving his
conclusions. = Said he:
The law OF the State does not make in
compatibility a ground for divorce. but 1t does
read that extreme cruelty. rendering the con-
dition of either party to the marriage contract
intolerable. Is sufficient ground to allow the
granting of divorce.
The first cause of action in this is the
charge of poisoning on December &c. 1900. or
somd time prior thereto. The evidence wholly
fails to support this ISSUE but shows the de-
fendant trying to rescue the plaintiff from
a state OF intoxcation and administered. not
poison. but remedies which she deemed bene-
ficial to him. His inability speak this
occasion did not from these remedies.
but came from his excessive of intoxicating
liquors at the banquet board and was as
humiiiating to the defendant as to the plain
tiff.
The unhappiness caused by the actions Of
the plaintiff Is shown by the letter OF their
daughter Arta Thorpe whose beautiful char
acter shone out from her unhappy home in
the words of her letter written just before her
death:
''Oh. papa. why did you do it? My heart
is just broken over IT. oh. why did you
do it?''
Judge Scott also found that the
charge of unbecoming actions on the
part of the defendant toward the
coloneps guests was not proven; that
there was no evidence that she had
ever threatened her husbands life. and
that when attending the funeral of her
daughter Arta at Rochester, n. Y, in
February, 1904, she offered a perma-
nent reconciliation and no answer ever
