CHANCE TO BREAK RECORD DIVE
Experiments show Possibility of Going
Down More Than 200 Feet.

The Royal Society, of London, has
Just issued a report Of interesting ex.
periments by Professor L.. e. Hill and
the younger scientist, NJ. Greenwood.
with q view of ascertaining the effects
of compressed air on the human sys.
TEN. Besides throwing light on OBJ.
scure points in physiology the expert
ments will have practical result in
the direction of enabling greater depths
of water to be reached by divers than
heretofore.
1t has been we'll known that it was
impossible for divers to go below GER
tain depth owing to the necessity of
COMPRISING air within the diving
dress TO resist the pressure of the
water. Few divers have ever reached
40 feet. The record dive is 204 feet,
but it killed the diver. Until method
superior to the present one is invented,
heaps Of buried treasures which are
known to be lying in spots on the ocean
bed cannot be recovered.
The experiments of Messrs. Hill and
Greenwood seem to open the way.
They tried the effects of compressed
mir on themselves, using a specially
made steel cylinder of forty-two cubic
feet capacity, with motor driven
pump for compression, and specially
designed taps for decomposition. In
this cylinder they underwent pres
sure of five atmospheres, which Is
equivalent to a depth of 10 feet. Mr.
Greenwood successfully resisted seven
atmospheres, which is equivalent to
more than 200 feet.
Professor Hill believes that the func'
tlons of the body are normal in COM
pressed air. Both men remained in five
atmospheres for four or five hours
They measured their respiration and
noted the state of the blood, tempara
ture, etc. They subjected dogs, mon
keys, cats, rats and mice to even ten
atmospheres and they resisted success
fully. One monkey was subjected to
eight atmospheres three times week
for four hours for a month, and did
not show the least unfavorable symp.
toms.
Professor Hill's cylinder is entered
through a sort of portfolio on the side
The experlmenter lies on mattress.
The interior is lighted by electricity
and there is telephone communication.
Professor Hill is convinced that with
proper appliances it will be possible to
dive far deeper than heretofore. He
believes that the deaths of divers are
due to their being brought to the sur
face too rapidly. More time, he says.

Potato Men Must Fall in Line.

The recent bulletin of the Geneva
N. " Experiment ttation gives re-
suits of cooperative tests made by
thirty growers which together show
net profit of $4,000 from spraying.
The average increase in yield from
spraying was 62A bushels PER acre.
done at cost of S4.9S per acre. The
cost for each spraying was 03 cents.
The net profit per acre was $24.S6.
These results are in line with those
obtained with similar experiments in
1903. The spraying was found to
lengthen lime of growth by prevent
ing late brack. Not only was the quau-
tity greater, but it was found that the
potatoes contained onc-sixtecnth more
starch, and, as might be expected were
more mealy and of better cooking quail
ity. Spraying Is almost a universal
practice in the Aroostook region, it
being declared that there is scarcely
an acre in the whole section not regu-
larry sprayed. Growers use the large
power sprayers which treat four rows
at once and do the work very quickly,
making three 10 eight applications dur
ing the season according to clrcum-
stances.

Genesis of the Chnuffe ur.

Chauffeurs existed, says Figaro, long
before there We're automobiles. His
tory tells us that along about the year

glons, Enthusiastically dressed men with
their faces blackened with SCOT and
their eyes carefully concealed who
gained admittance to farmhouses and
other isolated dwellings at night and
committed all kinds OF depredations
and outrages. They had an atroclous
habit especially, from which they OBJ
tained the name that posterity has pre-
served for them. They first garroted
their victims, and dragged them in front
of great fire, where they burned the
soles of their feet. Then they de-
manded Of them where their money
and jewels were concealed. Such in
tcrrogatories could scarcely be resisted.

Eyes, you canp' replied Bob fiercely.

Two sturdy guides had stretched
themselves fiat on the ground at the
edge of the crater; half dozen of
their comrades planted themselves
firmly, with the rope twisted round
their bodies, few feet farther back.
Dick felt the loose particles of ash
sliding past his face as the rope slid
down slowly toward him. The dust
got into his eyes, but he could not rub
them. At last the moose gided over
his head and rested on his chest. At
the same moment he heard the pre-
monitory rumble of the volcano fore.

"Now~ screamed Bob.
Dick drew long breath and caught
the rope, thrusting an arm through the
| moose. The quick movement and in
voluntary bracing of his feet dislodged
the slight projection which had arrest
ed his fall, and he began to slide down
ward.
1t vas a moment of terrible sus-
pense. Would the rope hold? Dick
could not help himself a particle, IL
indeed he was still conscious. But his
grip was firm,' and the moose, which
had slipped up to his armplt, clutched
him tightly.
Slowly the silent form was drawn up
the slope, farther and farther, until
his rescuers, cautiously reaching over
the edge, caught his wrists, and drew
the haIf-dead lad to safety.
1t was a triumphal procession that
wound down the path to the hut, carry
ing Dick, who feebly protested that he
could walk, but was not allowed to set
foot on the ground. The boys were
pretty silent, but the guides chatted
volubly, laughed, shouted and threw
up their hats, now and then turning
to shake their fists at the volcano. All
lll-feeling was forgotten.
"What did you think of, old fellow,
as you were lying there waiting for
us? asked Harry that evening, when
the three were once more on the moon

Have The Team Matched.

A short time ago the writer spent
little time in watching a farmer who
was doing some grading. First he
plowed rp the soil and then dlstrlb.
uted it around as he saw fit by means
of Il scoop. His team was composed
Of two horses, one much larger than
the other. and it was surprising what
n lot of trouble and trying of the mans
patience this team caused. In an
hours work he must have spent at
least fifteen or twenty minutes In fix
ing the whltlietrees and taking the
lines off the top of the hames and
other such things. And both the
horses were entitled to an unlimited
amount of sympathy. Each time the
scoop was pushed down in order TO be
filed and the strain on the traces
would come, just so sure would you
see the large horse dart ahead and the
small one be pulled back, which al
ways resulted in full stop and a new
tug at the traces in order to start the
scoop again. How those horses ever
managed to keep from having sore
shoulders was mystery, and so for

to feed it by itself The better way is
TO use it to season the food whenever
that can be done. The warm mash in
