SYRIAN DIVER IS SK.LLFUL.
Under-Water Workers Amaze the World by Their Great Endur-
 ance--A Few Instances.


 The divers of the Syrian coast use no apparatus except a heavy stone for a sinker and d light line by which they come up hand over land Some time ago, when the Knitted States cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco were anchored at Beirut for five months, the Americans had opportunity to witness the skill and endurance of the divers. The cruisers were in 11 or IS fathoms of water.
 0ae day midshipman, on duty at the gangwaN raised his sword belt too high, and the shin ing blade, slipping from it's scab bard, went circling to the bottom of tue. sea. The water was be tween 90 and 100 feet deep at the spot. A diver was sent for, and the spot where the sword went down was pointed out. He stopped in his little boat, pumped himself full of air, seized his sinker, disap- peared in the blue waters and 1etched the sword almost immedi- ately.
 At another time a boat-load of coal was swamped beside the ship, and sank to the bottom. Other divers came. located the coal and the boat, and descending time after time in 90 feet of water, they placed the coal in bags, and sue ceeded in saving both coal and the boat. Officers on deck timed these divers again and again, and found that they frequently remained un- der water as long as one minute and fifty-fye seconds.
 But the greatest feat was per formed by another diver some weeks later, when the United States collier Alexandra snapped her cable, and dropped her anchor and 40 fathoms of chain in 20 faith Oms of water. X diver was sent for and rowed out to the spot. After being directed to where the anchor and chain lay, he divested himself of his clothing, went through his pumping process, and no ssappeared in over 110 feet of ter. One minute elapsed; it ......,n = .,ned a long time. Then sec u 5nd minute was called off, which seemed much longer time. But not until two minutes and fifteen seconds had elapsed did the poor fellow come crawling up the rope greatly exhausted. But he had found the chain, attached the grapple and rope, and succeeded in recovering both anchor and chain at the first dive, The of fcers of the ship could scarcely be- lieve that any human frame could stand the pressure of the water at such depths, much less live through the excessive variations of pres sure involved in the descent and ascent of more than 100 feet with in two minutes and fifteen sec Dnds. But these divers along the Syrian coast do their work with comparative impunity, and fairly sustain their ancient fame as the most skillful divers in the world.

little impression upon the individual
at the time. But when they are review
ed on the occasion of some notable
achievement the magnitude Of the i'm
provement is startling.
The reported merger Of many indie
pendent telephone companies with a
large capitalization is a case in point
The telephone is a recent invention,
comparatively speaking, and yet the
determination of this new organization
to contest for a field already fairly well
occupied by another company foreteils
the inevitable increase in the use of
the telephone, the reduction of rates,
and the advantage of the individual
patron. The telephone Is firmly estab-
lished as a necessary feature of every
large industry for interamural service.
II has made itself an absolute neces-
sity for local business. Now IL there
is a prospect for sharp competition in
the field of long distance communica-
ton there is a chance for the more
common use of this valuable means of
eliminating distance.
An electric railroad between Chica-
&c and New York, following an air line
and having cars which run at the high
est possible speed, would certainly
force reduction of fares on the part of
the steam roads and lead to more cat
ering to the public for patronage. The
advantage would be all on the side of
the people in making transportation
more available for all. The effect in
the main would be the elimination OF
distance as a factor in life.
The importance Of the waterway
from the same point Of view cannot be
methods of transportation means the
Arrangement of distance. The Western
Society of Civil Engineers will discuss
that theme at q coming banquet, at
which n of the speakers will be the
engineer who built the 500" locks in
1854 and has seen the commerce at that
point grow from small beginnings to
an enormous tonnage yearly. The fig
ures of lake carrier business for a
term of years would we'll illustrate the
tremendous advances.
1t hardly needs mention that in ser
vice within this city the advances in
the direction of eliminating distance
have been little short of marvellous. In
bringing the edges of the city close
to the center, in making the ownership
of suburban homes more possible and
desirable, in adding to the conven-
fences and comforts of life rand tran
sit has accomplished wonders. In fact,
it is the dominant feature of the age,
this steady elimination of distance, by
Identification of railways, by wireless
telegraphy and long distance telephone
service, by fast mails and limited
trains. 1t is the sum total of progress
which startles .-Chicago Tribune.

FOR CUBAN ANNEXATION.

The Washington Post, one of the
brightest and ablest Independent pa,
pers published in America, speaking
of the annexation of Cuba. says:
The best possible service that the
United States could render, as the SOW
ereign of Cuba, and in that relation
charged with the duty and responsible
tty of governing her inhabitants, is to
complete her political union with our
continental domain. No other nation
on earth, situated as we were when,
at the end of the war of 1898, Cuba
came into the control of her liberator,
camo into the fraternal care of the ma.
ton thar had waged a costly war to
deliver her from Spain, would have
permitted her to try the experiment of
semi-independence. No other nation,
situated as we are now, would dream
of repeating that Indulgence. Cuba's
best good, and the rights, interests.
and duty OF this republic, all demand
annexation. And this is the view that
congress is los likely to take. If We
must fill the place of dry nurse for
Cuba"-and that is just what We are
bound to do-let us discharge that
duty in close contact, not at long range.
Even the short distance that ~intervenes
between the Gem of the Antilles and
our coast is long enough to render arm
ed Intervention extremely inconven-
lent and costly. What Cuba needs is
peace. That means prosperity. 1t can
only come to her by our assertion and
exercise of all rights and our discharge
of all the duties implied by sover-
aIPnty"

PLACER MINING IN
PROSPEROUS CONDITION.

Placer mining in Wyoming appears
TO be in a prosperous condition. if one
may judge from the operations of the
Douglas Consolidated Placer Mining
company, says the Denver Mining Re
porter. speaking of the Douglas Creek
mining district in Wyoming. The plant
which is in process of erection by this
company is one Of the best in the
state. The sawmill was busy last
month getting out timber for fumes,
and there is every expectation that the
company will be able to make a trial
run on black sands before the opening
of the winter season.

Do You Want to Know

There is a growing sentiment in this

exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore I'M

coming is very satisfactory indeed

formed The Republican that the EN-

in excess OF the winter term a year
ago, and was II larger enrolment
than all OF last year. Enrolment
will be kept up during the rest Of
the week. when more students will
arrive. Among those who have al
ready enrolled are 81 new students,
which Is a decided gain in that d.
r%ection. This morning special ex-
~ercises were held in the chapel Of
College Hall, which were largely at
tended. An address was delivered by
Prof. e. v. Gilliland on "What Are
We Here For?" in which lie set forth
some ideas that ought to engage the
attention Of the college students in
their pursuance Of an education.
