work with all the gaiety Of the butcher,
the baker, and the candlest1cK maker
III the old rhyme.
Indeed. divers have been known who
had such a distaste for work that a1ter
making descent they would pick OUT
soft spot In the river bed, or Wher-
ever they happened to be, and lie down
for a nap. Alone under the water, they
were safe from the prying gaze OF any
employer, and could dispose Of their
time as they saw At, until the invention
OF an electric system of signals.
If he wishes to sing or joke over his
work. the diver must be his own audi-
epce: for from the moment the heavy
helmet is fastened to his shoulders
until it is taken of again, his loudest
shouting are inaudible to his comrades
If an accident occurs, he can only pull
at his life line, and then wait while MS
rescuers are at work, unable to oner
the slightest suggestion.
Life Ebbed slowly Away.
In 1904 a diver lost his life at the
Boonton, n. j., reservoir, and though
a single word spoken to his comrades
might have been his salvation, the he'll
met effectually prevented Its utterance.
He had been laboring under seventy
feet of water to close the opening OF
a large intake pipe with huge ball
of wood and lead weighing several tons,
when in some manner his leg was
caught between the ball and the hange
oe the pipe. The force eXerted on the
ball by the suction Of water was so
great that the divers who came to the
rescue were unable to overcome 1t, and
the unfortunate man could only lie
there on his back hopelessly waiting,
his life slowly ebbing away. For three
days he lay imprisoned, and during
that time until he died his only com
munication with the outside world was
a handshake with the divers when they
came down, or when they fitted into
the green haziness above.
The sense of separation from human
companionship that forces itself upon
the diver in such position is also
part of the experience OF the aeronaut
and is even more complete. The world
below him is only a miniature toy
world: all familiar sounds have died
away, and he is in the midst of great
silence. Round him are the uncon-
trollable forces of nature, and there is
no hand to aid. He is at the absolute
mercy Of wind and weather, and can
trust only to his lucky stars. What ever
precautions he may take in the con-
struction of his balloon, his parachute
or airship. there are always a thou
sand sources of unforeseen danger. Yet
the aeronaut goes about his task with
the greatest equanimity imaginable,
denying that there is any danger, and
insisting that his profession is the
greatest Of sports. Star.

In the United States, as we have had
occasion to point out, the question Of
reducing the daily school session is just
beginning to attract attention, and gen
orally in connection with overcrowding
and the necessity of putting many pu-
Austria, France and Russia the ques.
tton OF overwork in the school is dis
tressing and burning one. In the first
named country suicides OF school chill
dren have been increasing at an alarm
ing rate. One professor has investigat
ed over a thousand cases Of child sui
eide. and he finds that over so per cent
are due to excessive strain and failure
to pass examinations. A Vienna ply
stefan has made a similar investigation
and reports that in many middle-class
and well-to-do families children are
driven to despair and self-destruction
by the demands on their minds and
their industry. If their certificates In
dictate backwardness the parents are
angry and harsh toward them, and COM
pei them to do fl great deal OF extra
work In the evening. In Russia about
600 school children committed suicide
last year, and the same forcing sys-
tenn is held to be responsible for most
of these tragic cases. The problem Of
Overtaxation of the bodies and brains
of the school children has been treated
even in novels and plays, especially In
Germany. 1t Is more complex than
may appear at first sight. The time
spent in the school room is one ele-
nlent. The studying Of lessons at
home is another The lack of facilities
for play and recreation is third. Light,
ventilation. the kind of desks and
benches or chairs used in the schools
furnish another element The demand
of the age is for efficiency and thor
oughness In education. Complaints are
heard from many directions that the
graduates Of the primary and high
schools are deplorably ignorant even OF
the fundamental studies. The tendency
everywhere is to more and better edu-
cation In view Of this tendency the
matter Of school hygiene Is growing in
Importance. and that of Overwork in
the largest sense of the term. which in
cludes the age at which children should
be sent to kindergarten or school, will
demand increasing attention. Journals
of medicine and hygiene as we'll as ed
ucational periodicals, are watching tho
European developments in this field
with great interest and applying them
to the American situation.

There seems to be no more gallantry
in Englishmen than among ourselves.
The London County Council recently
provided a special car for working
women on one Of the electric car lines,
but it was impossible to keep 1t for
women. When cars were crowded men
climbed aboard the woman's car and
took possession. claiming that as they
had paid their fares they had rights
which no regulation Of the county coun-
ell could abrogate. This is bad enough
but now the court to which the case
was referred has upheld the men in
their contention. and women will have
to do the best they can in rush hours
In New York similar case has just
been decided in the same way. The
park board set aside certain seats in
the parks for women and children. and
men paid no heed 10 the rule and
the court says they are right not to &C

Servian women and children

All Servian kings in the last CEN

King Milan of Servia was rated
the most royal drunkard in Europe.

Kara-George, father of Servian

King Peter of Servia was long an

In the middle ages the Monte
negrans contemporary regarded
the Servians as pig raisers. They
captured 200 leading Servians, and
upon being offered a big money
ransom, answered that pig apiece
for the captives would do.
After the Bulgarians whipped the
Servians in 1885 they demanded an
indemnity of 100000 pigs, but the
powers stopped further negotia-
tons.
In 1850 Servia included nearly all

Up THE
WHOLE GANG

CLEAR LAKE, Wash, Oct. IS
Armed posses are today beating
the woods and searching for two
masked men who last night held
up 80 men employed by the Clear
Lake Logging Co. and secured
$3.50. The men were in the bunk
house when the robbers appeared
in the doorway and forced them to
march out single file and line up
against the WALL hands up.
The bandits then made two
workmen search the clothes of the
others and take money and other
valuables. One of them tried to
overlook watch in the pocket
of friend. He was sent back to
get it. The men were then march
ed back and locked in.
