of ammonia which We're filling the place
Shortly after 3 p. m. the cap of the big

in making the freezing mixture connect-

and the deadly fumes filled the cold stor-

through the walls 10 the store itself

The proprietors of the place were ut

and running to Il telephone got Il diving
concern to send Il man up at once pre-
pared to make the most curious diving
feat ever accomplished by any diver.
Putting on his garb, the man entered
the building where it seemed that no
man could live. His assistant pumped
fresh air to him and the diver worked
away without great discomfort, fitting
a new cap ON the tank.
He was inside the building less than
half an hour before he returned and told
the people who waited for him outside
that the task was accomplished and that
in a few moments the building would be
free of the fumes.-Boston Advertiser.
