would result IN the finding that lum.
Der men are only making fair prot.
lts on their investments
IT is true that the prices Of lum.
Der have advanced In the past few
years. but II Is because Of the in.
creased cost Of production and de-
crease in supply. Another thing which
has caused the increase Is the great
production Of gold during the last few
years. when this is the case the price
OF all commodities which are limited
In supply will advance.
There IS no organization or un
derstandlng, as far as know. amone

SCHOOL WHERE DIVERS LEARN,
Work Under Water as II is Taught by
the British Admiralty.

The British Admiralty trains div
ers, ana every British war ship car
ries at least one representative of the
craft and frequently more. There are
training schools at Portsmouth, Dev-
onport and Sneerness.
One OF the difficulties with which
divers have to contend, says the Lon
don News, is probably not realized
by landsman, namely. that the great
er the depth the greater is the pres
sure of water on the mans body and
the greater the labor and exhaustion
of working. The naval authorities
limit their men to a depth of 12O
feet. The greatest depth to which a
man has descended Is said by Siebe
to have been 204 feet, and the pres
sure at that depth was extraordinary,
namely, SSh pounds to the square
inch. One wonders how any human
being could stand It. Twelve faith
oms, or about 10 feet, would be en-
ough for most men. The ears ana
nose would probably begin to bleed
and the pressure on the head would
be very serious. A practiced diver
can, OF course, descend much deeper
without such unpleasant sensations.
His dress costs more than hun
dred pounds: II is of tanned twill and
rubber and made In one piece. with
a big opening at the neck. The he'll
met is OF copper and screws on to
the shoulders so tightly that the wat
er cannot penetrate the joint. Air
Is pumped down to him by pipe
made OF canvas and rubber and out
let valves, which only open outward
ly are placed at convenient places to
permit the vitlated air to escape.
These valves are extremely important
as by them the diver can regulate
his supply OF air.
In addition to this pipe the diver
has a lifeline enabling him to COM
municate with his assistants above
water This was formerly done by a
series OF concerted tugs or jerks on
the line. but the method is being sup
erseded as a means to communicate
by the telephone, the wires being
conveyed by the lifeline. He there
