LARGE AUDIENCE
Saengerbund, in Good Form,
Assisted by Able
So!OiStS.

The second public concert by the
Washington Saengerbund was given last
night i'm the National Theater, when the
club was assisted by Mrs. Mary Hissem
de Moss, soprano, and Edouard Dethie-,
violinist. Mrs. de Moss, a prominent
concert singer of New York. has been
heard here before, and was cordially
welcomed. Mr.. Dethier is likewise
known 10 music lovers here through his
appearance last season under the man
agement of Miss Mary A. Cryder.
The Saengerbuud chorus never was in
better form than last night. The long
association of these singers and the
careful training of Henry Xander has
placed the club on par with many OF
the best-known singing clubs IN the
country.
Mrs. de Moss was heard in a series
Of songs designed to please the artistic,
as well as popular music sense. one
OF the most charming numbers was the
pOlOnaise from "MignOn,' which was
given with great delicacy and grace
Mr.. DethieT played two movements
from Bruch's concerto in q minor and
Schuberts THE Bee" The most fas-
cinating If his numbers, however, was
Dvorak's charming little "HumOTesque,
which he gave rs an encore 10 WleniaW-

TRAINING Owens.
The Way seisnes Helps Thsss Sub
m arine Workers


The admiralty trains divers, and
every British warship carries al
least one representative of the craft
and frequently more. There are
training schools at Portsmouth
Devonport and Sheerness.
One of the difficulties with which
divers. have to contend is probably
not realized by a landsman--name-
ly, that the greater the depth the
greater is the pressure Of water on
the man's body and the greater the
labor and exhaustion of working
The naval authorities limit their
men to depth of 1870 feet. The
greatest depth to which man has
descended is said by Siebe to have
been 204 feet, and the pressure at
that depth was extraordinary
namely, eiyhty-eight and one-half
pounds to the square inch. One
wonders how any human being
could stand it. Twelve fathoms, or
about seventy feet, would be enough
for most men. The ears and 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 f100.
1t is OF tanned twill and rubber and
made in one piece, with big open
ing at the neck. The helmet is of
copper and screws on to the shoul-
ders 50 tightly that the water can
not penetrate the JOINT. Air is
pumped down to him by pipe made
of canvas and rubber, and outlet
valves, which only open outwardly,
are placed at convenient places to
permit the vitiated air to escape.
These valves are extremely impor-
tant, as by them the diver can reg
ulats his supply of air.
In addition to this pipe the diver
has life line, enabling him to
communicate with his assistants
above water. This Was formerly
done by series of concerted tugs
OF jerks on the line, but that meth
cd has been superseded as means
of communication by the telephone,
the wires being conveyed by the life
line. He therefore touches the but
ton and talks as if he were in the
city.
Another grea, improvement is the
use of the electric lamp, though in
some West Indian waters a diver
can see clearly for some distance.
In other waters, again, the darkness
is intense twenty or thirty feet
down. The weight of the dress is
extraordinary and is necessary to
enable the diver to maintain his sta
bilitv. His helmet weighs consid-
erably over quarter of hundred
weight, and his boots, taken to-
gether, weigh about as much, while
if these be not sufficient he claps
lead upon his shoulders.-London
