SAFETY OF DIVERS.
Apparatus invented for Use in Peril
Gus Work

Mr.. Takao Iwanami. a young japanese
electrical engineer. employed as a drafts
man in the mechanical engineering depart
ment of the Southern railway, in this city,
has recently perfected diving apparatus,
on which patents have been issued which
promises to Considerably reduce t11. cost of
maintaining diving operations and at the
same time offer divers greater safeguards
than they have heretofore enjoyed Mr.
| Iwanami was formerly in the United States
navy, where he had an excellent opportu-
nifty TO study prevailing diving methods
He came to this city about four years ago
and after taking course in a local school
of electricity devoted himself to peri citing
the apparatus he has recently patented.
Associated with Mr.. Iwanami in this work
was Mr. Mark Woodward of the Mckinley
Manual Training School
The apparatus that Messrs Iwanami and
Woodward have perfected makes few
changes in the armor of the diver, but prae-
tically revolutionizes the method of supply
ing air. Instead of using a hand pump
manned by three or four helpers, the air
supply is pumped to the diver by a motor
run by a powerful storage battery This
motor and battery are placed in a float
that Is three feet in diameter and about
four and a half feet in height. The float
shows about two feet above the water, and
It's interior Is fitted with a most coEapacI
machine. The storage batteries will run
under ordinary conditions about three days
The supply OF air from the pumps wi lsbe
uniform at all depths, there being an auto
| matte arrangement whereby the pressure
| Of air sent through the pipes to the diver
becomes greater as the pressure of water
| increases, when the diver goes into greater
depths. In addition to the mechanism for
pumping afr the storage batteries also sup
| ply power for incandeseent lights that are
fitted to the outside of the diving helmet
and permit the diver to see plainly every
thing about him. A very effective telephone
system is also operated by the current
which permits of frequent and easy confer
ences with persons on the surface without
making 1t necessary for the diver to rise
The fact that the float containing the
pumping machine rests on the surfaos of

TO PROTECT THE CRABS.
Measure in Virginia Legislature to
Prevent Winter Dredging.

A measure of more than ordinary inn
pcrtance to those interested in the grabbing
industry on Chesapeake bay, the Potomac
river and other v aters in Virginia, was Fri
day last introduced into the Virginia legis-
lature by Delegate j. p. Rev of Accomac
county on the the eastern shore of Virginia,
and Is now in the hands of the committee
on Chesapeake bay and it's tributaries
The measure provides that the winter
months shall be a closed season forrthe TAX
ing of crabs, and, 1t is stated, is aimed at
these who have been dredging for crabs
with machinery designed to dig them out
of their beds in the mud at the bottom of
the bay and its tributaries. Crabs thai have
been taken from their beds in the depths of
winter, while they are alternating, are re-
ceiyed in this city apparently lifeless, but
they revive when put in a warm place. This
method of obtaining crabs has kept the
crustaeean on the market at all seasons of
the year, but it has greatly decreased the
catch at proper seasons and an effort is
being made to protect the crab. 1t is
thought that the bill will become a law
and will sop the taking of the crabs in
winter in the greater part of Chesapeake
bay. The bill has caused considerable
alarm among those residing In the vicinity
of Norfolk who have been engaged in win
ter crab-taking.

BUILDING DECLARED UNSAFE.
Building Inspector Condemns Struc-
ture at Corner of 9th and D Streets.

Building Inspector Ashford has taken
steps to prevent a possible accident in the
building at the southwest corner of 9th and
u streets northwest by notifying the Union
Trust and Storage Company, agents for the
owners that a portion of the building is in
an unsafe condition. Computer G. w.
SofnerYile of the building department made
an examination of the structure, and in his
report stated that the walls are subject to
considerable vibratory acton, and that the
floor of the fourth, or lodge room floor, is
structurally weak and lacking y per cent
of the foor-carrying capacity required by

In the interest of safety TO life and

preferable to place seats in the center OF

Use of Title "Rear Admiral"
Secretary Bonaparte has finally settled the
dispute as to whether or not chiefs of Navy

| lions or in the practice in the past, either
| in the army or in the navy. to show thai
the use of the title of rear admiral by any
chief of Navy Department bureau on his
| calling card Is violation of the regulations
| or the law. The question has been rather
| a yexatious one, and has presented itself
i, in various forms many times during the
/ past two years. The present decision re-
/ lates directly to the controversy between
| Rear Admiral John III. Upshur, retired, and
| Rear. Admiral w. L. Caps, chief of the
| bureau of construction and repair. Admira
| Upshur addressed the Secretary, saying thai
