shrinkage continued. since the proper
ton of loss of volume never varies, the
gas would shrink to nothingness. It
could not do so, Of course, and all
gases sooner or later fall out of the line
by becoming liquid. when the law
ceases to operate, and the proportion of
contraction in volume ceases to be the

An interview with the sultan of Tur-
key has its amusing side That monarch
is not supposed officially to know any
language but his own. An interpreter
thunders his maiesty's questions at the
visitor, then cringes with awe as he
listens to the words of his royal mas
ter. The contrast is close to the ridic-
ulous. At the conclusion of the inter-
view the sultan rises and says quietly
in the visitors language or in French,

1t appears to be the policy of the

sentiment expressed in the house ma

The zero of absolute temperature has
long been indicated as mysterious and
important point in two ways. The first
is the contraction of gases, which in all
known gases operates uniformly as the
temperature is lowered. AS long as
they retain the gaseous state gases
shrink in volume so uniformly with
each added degree of cold that an ex-
act, unvarying line of diminishing vol

ARTIFICIAL EYES.
FhS First Ones Made We're WOFn
Outside the Socket.

FhS First Ones Made We're WOF1
Outside the Socket.
AS early as SEQ B. G. artificial eyes
were made by the priests of Rome and
Egypt, who Hracticed as physicians and
surgeons. Their methods of eye max
ing are thus described: On a strip Of
flesh tinted linen, two and a quarter
by one and a quarter incEeS. the fat
side Of piece Of earthenware, model
ed life size and painted to represent
the human eye and eyelids. was ce-
mented. This linen, coated on the 9th
er side with some adhesive substance,
was placed over the eyehole and press
ed down. In brief, the artificial eye
was worn outside the socket and,
though clumsy substitute, was prob
ably appreciated by the Romans and
Egyptians. In the ruins of Pompeii,
destroyed in 20 A. D. an eye Of this
description was discovered.
Not until the sixteenth century do
we hear Of eyes at all like those Of
today-that is, worn inside the socket.
A French surgeon, one Ambrose Pare,
invented three artificial eyes. One con.
sisted Of an oval plate covered with
soft leather, on which an eye was
painted. 1t was attached to the head
by a strong steel band. 1t could have
been neither slightly nor comfortable
The second device and the first known
in history to be worn inside the socket
consisted Of a hollow globe Of gold
deity enameled. The third eye devised
by this ingenious gentleman was a
shell pattern eye, much like that in
use today, except that it was of gold
and enamel
Pare's inventions were followed by
eyes Of painted porcelains and colored
pearl white, which became very pop
ular. They were succeeded by eyes Of
glass, which soon took the place Of all
others and command popular favor to
this day.
Glass eyes were invented about the
year 1879 and were crude productions
Of inferior workmanship, the iris and
pupil being hand painted in a far
from lifelike manner. Shakespeare
mentions glass eyes in king Lear,"
where the king advises the blinded
traitor Gloucester to "get thee glasS
eyes and seem to see"

as an ordinary man would walk Wnen
going up Palafox street.
Divers Are Careful.
That the divers appreciate the
dangerous character of their work is
atteSted by the careful examination
OF every detail of the apparatus by
the diver before he donned the suit.
The air pump was tested, and as
each section Of the hose was screw
ed on to the proceeding one the
diver held the open end while the
pumps brought the pressure up to
20 or 80 pounds to the square inch.
While the hose was held by one
diver another went over it carefully
to see if a leak could be detected
When the examination of the pump
and hose had been satisfactorily
completed the hose was attached to
the helmet and the latter tested.
thoroughly. The valves were gone
oyer and the springs therein changed
several times before the diver was
satisfied that all was in good work
ing order, and bsfore the descent
was made the helmet was adjusted
and the air pressure tried, after
wards being taken off and adjusted
again.
A Hazardous Life,
The life of deep ssa diver is
hazardous in the extreme and those
who follow the dangerous occupations
are compelled to forgo many of the
. p pleasures of life. For instance,
diver takes no food before going to
work, allowing himself only cup of
coffee in the morning, which must
satisfy him until he has finished
with his days work. Intemperance
is fatal, and the use of tobacco
must be extremely limited. This is
especially true of divers working in
depths of from. 100 to 200 feet. A
man who goes 200 feet under water,
will not live to tell of the experience
if he has INDUCED in the slightest
dissipation.
With anything like good luck the
divers connected with the fleet of
Pensacola spOngers will make from
$500 to $500 per month in addition
to their living, working on shares.
Half of the profits of the catch goes
to the divers, the balance being dis
tributed to the owners of the vessels
captains and crews in accordance
with previous agreement.
Are Experienced Men.
All of the divers employed by the
Pensacola feet are experienced men
who lives have been spent at the
business in the Mediterranean, but
who were forced to leave that Sec
ton Of the world on account of tn
scarcity of spOnges and seek a place
where a better living was possible.
Another thing that caused many of
them to leave the old country was
the fact that it was necessary to go
to great depths in order to secure
sponges. which made the risk too
great. 1t is said that hundreds of
Mediterranean divers perish annual
" and one instance is related where
out Of fifteen divers who accom-.
panied an expedition to the sponging
grounds. but three returned alive.
ALI Of the men on the Pensacola
fleet were in the best of spirits and
anticipated great success at their
chosen profession when they arrived
at the sponging grounds off the west
coast of the Florida peninsula.
