Mr.. Pease has planned house that
will be composed Of glass and is going
to have 1t finished in some color that
will make 1t attractive. and such colors
will be permanent.
The moment this idea is started.
Mr.. Pease declared, the public will
be quick to see the value of the ma
terial- Its cheapness and reliability
are understood. Glass. he said, is the
most honest and most easily under
stood material in the world. 1t is not
mysterious. and people will not have
to employ experts to see that the
quality is right. The glass for the
walls of houses need not be transpar-
ent. but dense. like slate or stone. 1t
will. however. be hard and durable.
The roofs can be made Of the same
character OF glass. It withstands heat
and cold alike. and whatever patents
may interfere with the cheapness of
the material now are so nearly expired
that It will be but short time before
there will be eliminated a. q cost

In the 20 years that has made this
city his home he has done a great
deal OF submarine work at many
points along the Atlantic coast as far
south as South Carolina and through
out New England as we'll.
Captain Stones life has been filled
with hairbreadth escapes from death.
but the nearest that he ever came to
losing his life under water, he says.
was while working on the wreck OF
the steamship Moravian OF the Allen
line in the year 1884 on Mud island
in the bay OF Fundy. near Yarmouth.
". s.. with four or five other divers
in the dead of winter.
The ship lay in about 20 feet of wa
ter. with the upper deck above the
surface. and on this the air pumps of
the divers were lashed. The two men
tending the lines for Captain Stone
were stationed on a raft constructed
within the ship. about at the level OF
the second deck. while he was 60 feet
below them in the BOBBY hatch work
Ing on the cargo.
In some way his air hose became
entangled and was broken short on
from the air pump on the upper deck.
Away below in the black depths of the
water Captain Stone heard a sudden
sharp click within his massive helmet,
similar to the sound made when a
large cap is snapped on a gun.
He made a leap for the combings
of the BOBBY hatch. SO as to pull him
self up. but he failed and fell back
ward In the water with all the weight
of his heavy diving suit upon him.
His tenders on the raft were in
ignorance of what had occurred, and
he couldn't send signal to them, be-
cause his signal line had gone up with
the rope used in hosting the cargo
he was sending up. But word was
soon sent to them of the nature Of the
accident and they quickly got to work.
Captain Stone had made another eff.
fort to catch the combings OF the
hatch when he felt himself being
hauled upward by his tenders.
Although fast losing consciousness
through lack of air. he kept his left
arm extended SO as to feel for the
stanchions and push himself away
from them In case he struck any. for
he was still in total darkness. But he
was hauled up safely and escaped any
more serious consequences of the ad-
venture than swallowing a quantity of
salt water that had found It's way into
his helmet while he was struggling for
Life.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
says that in seven states. Alabama,

Wyoming and Utah. with combined
population OF over 100000. not one

vided. In nine states and territories,
Alaska, Delaware. Florida. Kansas.
Mississippi. South Carolina. South Da-
kota. Vermont and West Virginia. the
number of beds for consumptives in
each case is less than fifty, while the
combined population of these states is
over 100000. On the basis Of 400
deaths TO a million of population.
which is approximately the present

LIFE OF A SEA DIVER

ton of a submarine diver.
He is not only the dean OF all the
divers of New England and the mari
time provinces, but is doubtless the
oldest active diver in the United
States. He says that he knows OF no
man of his years In the country who
is In active work as a diver.
Captain Stone has done about
everything that diver is called upon
to perform under water. but his work
has been largely In the line of wreck
ing operations and in searching for
the bodies of drowned people. He has
worked not only on the oceans bed
from Labrador to South Carolina. but
in fresh water as well. beneath lakes
and rivers and large reservoirs In DIFF

large pictures, one on each side
