New Diving Machine.

An Italian mechanical engineer has
recently invented an ingenious div
ing machine, which has proved sue
cess in experimental tests made with
it IN deep-sea diving. The machine
is constructed of iron three eighths of
an inch in thickness, and is large
enough to contain man standing up
right, leaving him certain amount
Of liberty Of movement. The form OF
the machine is cylindrical, with the
upper part shaped like spherical
hood. The front of this hood is fur
nished with magnifying glasses to per.
nit of exploring the bottom of the
sea.
Two especially ingenious arms Id
bronze are attached to the machine,
the forepart of each being articulated,
to enable them to take the place of
of human arms. The right arm is
terminated by hand possessing fin
gers, which work exactly like the fin
gers of a human being. The left arm
is furnished with pair of scissors and
nippers. The interior of the machine
contains small electric lamp, capable
Of Illuminating certain space under
the water. The diver communicates
with the ship escorting him by means

West Virginia Home Coming.

In the forthcoming issue of the
State school directory. Superintendent
Thomas 9. Miller will incorporate q
suggestion for homecoming day for
West Virginians.
Superintendent Miller suggests that
next September will be an appropri'
ate time, as hundreds of former West
Virginians will be passing through the
State over three trunk lines en- route
to the jamestown Exposition. The
Register is able to give the full text of
his suggestion, which is as follows:
"In come of the New England States

of her old families are scattered
throughout the west, even to the Pa
cifc slope Some, too, have gone east.
Why not invite them all to come back
to the old home section and see the
new Virginia Of today? Next year
thousands will visit the jamestown

for this greeting? Let the invitation
be extended by our Governor and the
public generally, and no doubt very
many would plan to make a visit at
that time.
"Of course, family reunions would
be a prominent feature of such a
homecoming, but doubtless number
OF our cities and towns, and even the
smaller communities, would plan to
have special exercises appropriate to
the occasion. Is the suggestion worth
considering?"
