DEEP SEA DIVING.
A Descent of Thirty Fathoms Marks
the Limit of Safety.

A Descent of Thirty Fathoms Marks
the Limit of Safety.
The depth to which a diver can de-
scend is limited by his power for with
standing the pressure Of the water.
Apparently a descent Of thirty faith
Oms $50 feet of water marks the
limit of safety for even a few divers
who possess the necessary physical
fitness In combination with disregard
for danger beyond the average.
Records in deep sea diving haye to
be accepted with the proverbial grain
Of salt. 1t has been claimed that a
diver reached thirty-three fathoms and
a half while engaged in salvage opera
lions recently on the west coast of
South America, and yet again another
diver working on the same wreck is
reported to have brought up three
bars of copper from a depth Of forty
fathoms at the expense of his life.
An expert who has superintendent
large number of diving operations has
found that very few men, whatever
their build, are capable of combating
the severe strain which is brought to
bear upon their physical energies for
a few minutes at a depth of twenty or
thirty fathoms. Many of his divers
dared not venture below ten fathoms
OF 352 divers employed at greater
depths thirty were seriously injured,
and the result was fatal in ten in

Paperinq Damp Walls.

An excellent and comparatively In
expensive way to paper damp walls is
the following: Paint corrugated card
board, such as is sold for packing
bottles, etc, on both sides with as
phalt varnish and fix 1t when dried
with fve-eighths inch tin tacks to the
damp wall so that the smooth surface
is directed toward the room and the
corrugations run from ceiling to floor
against the wall. At the floor level
one-half inch should be left uncovered.
The cardboard should then be covered
with coarse hessians or other packing
material, on which a plain covering
paper and lastly the wall hangings
may be pasted. The skirting board
should be removed while lacking on
the cardboard, which should have
small holes of an inch In length made
in the raised corrugations at intervals
Of ten to twelve inches before it is at
tached to the wall.-Architects and

A FAMOUS CARPET.
The First One That Was Used In Old
New York City.

New York City.
81 haven't learned everything about
my business yet" said the young car
pet salesman, but I've picked up some
information that's interesting even if
ii isn't new.
For instance, not everybody knows
that it isn't so very long ago-only
about 200 years-that nobody had a
carpet in New York city They didn't
use rushes strewn around for floor COW
ering, as they used to do in England,
partly, l suppose. because rushes,
whatever they are, were not plentiful
and partly because they preferred
sand Certainly sand sprinkled on Il
bare floor seems cleaner and better
tages over a regular carpet Anyhow,
that was what they used in the houses
of the aristocracy.
But carpets came in fashion in New
York at the very end of the seven
tenth century, and the man who intro
duced the fashion was Captain Kidd.
He wasn't a pirate then. He was cap
tain of the Antigua, packet ship ply
ing between here and London, and
was a citizen and a householder in
this city. In 1862 he married Sarah
Port, the widow of another ship cap
tain, and set up housekeeping in Han,
over square, then an aristocratic quar-
ter.
"In that house on the floor of the
best ROOM, as they called 1t in those
days, was the first carpet known to
have been in use In New York. 1t was
valued at $25, which doesn't seem ex-
travagant even as money was then
valued. That may not be an important'
fact but it's interesting. New York
Times.

THE JOKER NUGGET.
An Incident of the Early Australian
Gold Dissinss.

Among the rich finds in the Austria
liam gold diggings the Joker nugget
ranks among the chief. 1t turned the
scale at thirty ounces and was sold for
5000. In size and shape it resembled
a mans hand, thick at the wrist part
and tapering off toward the fingers.
The claim had been good one from
the first, and the owner did not have
to work hard One day he was reclin-
ing full length idly searching for mug
gets when he caught sight Of the Joker
He at once covered it with his hand
and sat up, rather wondering how be
would secure the treasure without be-
ing seen. If the find became known
every man in the field would tramp to
the spot and invade his claim and so
prevent him working. A man in an
adjoining claim looked up Found

want a smoke" Here you are,
mate But what's the matter? You
look pale. Don't you feel right?" I'm
all right, only the sun is a bit hot" He
was struggling with an insane desire
to laugh, but he got his coat over the
nugget and seated himself on the top
of it. Then laughter overpowered him,
and he became hysterical Those
about him wondered, but thought the
sun had affected him. In little while
he gained his composure and decided
to go to his tent In lifting his coat
he managed to take up the lump of
gold, and no one knew that he had
found anything 1t was not until ten |
days had passed that the fact was
noised abroad, and even then few
knew the claim whence the Joker
came.

MON0MANIACS ARE MANY.
No Meet Them In Our Daily Life, Says
Student of Insanity.

I'm my Judgment" says student OF
insanity, there are hundreds of peo-
pie walking the streets of all the big
Gives today who are insane upon
some one topic and who only need a
reference to it in conversation or 9th
erwise to throw them into a severe
irrational tantrum, and my experience
satisfies me that the asylums are
crowded with persons who appear to
be the most reasonable beings on
earth until their attention is directed
toward some subject that disturbs
their mental apparatus and makes
them dangerous subjects.
"The most striking incident Of this
kind that has ever come under my OBJ
servation occurred when some years
ago 1 was visiting an asylum in Edin-
burgh. / was introduced to a patient
who had been physician. He was in
telligent, and l had a long converse
ton with him on general topics with
out the slightest knowledge on my
part that he was q patient. When bid
ding him adieu l remarked that we
were likely to have a beautiful moon
light night. In a second his whole de-
meanor changed. Instead of being a
cultured, amicable gentleman he be-
came a raving maniac and was quick
" seized by several attendants. My
simple alluSion to the moon had done
the whole business.
ut seems that this doctor, who had
a large practice at one time, had be
come enamored of a study of astron-
omy and had for some years been en-
deavoring to invent a telescope which
would enable him to get an interior
view of the moon. He became crazy
on that subject. His case was held to
be incurable." -Cincinnat Enquirer.

On Vacations.

1t is related in Stewart Edward
Whites book, 1.-THE Mountains" that
once upon a time man happened to
be staying III hotel room which had
originally been part of suit, but
which was then cut off from the 9th
ers by only thin door, through which
sounds carried clearly.
1t was about II o'clock when the
occupants Of that next room came
home. The man heard the door open
and close. Then the bed shrieked aloud
as somebody fell heavily upon it.
There breathed across the silence
profoundly deep sigh.

just as mad in two days as you could
