A sergeant in one of the Irish in
fantry regiments has q small but &C.
tive wife, of whom he stands in con-
siderable awe. One day he lost his
temper. The object Of his wrath
was dog belonging to the wife of
one Of his superior officers. The
lady overheard some Of the state
ments and took him severely to
task.
"You ought to be ashamed to say
such things and to lose your temper
with an ANIMAL" she said, while the
big sergeant looked shamefaced and
anxious. q shall report your Ian

The Way Science Helps These Sub.
marine Workers.
The admiralty trains divers. and
every British warship carries at
least one representative of the craft
and frequently more. There are
training schools at Portsmouth,
Davenport and Shecrness.
One Of the difficulties with which,
divers have to contend is probably
not realized by landsman-name-
ly, that the greater the depth the
greater is the pressure of water on
the mans body and the greater the
labor and exhaustion Of working.
The naval authorities limit. their
men to depth of 100 feet. The
greatest depth to which man has
descended is said by Siebe to have
been 9o4 feet, and the pressure at
that depth was extraordinary
namely, Lightweight and one-half
pounds to the square inch. One
wonders how any human being
could stand it. Twelve fathoms, OF
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 deepe,

England, and in the beginning OF

the friction between wheels and

though nothing like a trolley track,
were called at first outramways,
