The new hand stood dressed In
his diving harness, waiting for the
helmet to be placed upon his head.
Meanwhile the chief of the aquar-
ium staff was giving him his final
instructions.
"You won't be down more than
10 minutes, Hank" he said. land
it'll be new experience for you.
1t amt once year we have to put
the diving dress on a man, but
there's no other way of getting the
water out of the tank when the
overflow is stopped up with that
COMPOUNDED weed.
THAT seaweed seems to grow in
this tank more than in any," he
went on meditatively, adjusting the
helmet valves. 81 remember the
last time we had to send a man
down, one of the green morays had
squirmed through the inflow pipe
and nearly killed him. You saw
them in the next tank?"
The new hand had seen them. Fee
rocious green ellis, of the size of
boa constructors, they seemed to
him the most horrible of all forms
of sea life as they lay gaping in the
pipes that had been laid for them
at the bottom of their tank, with
head and tail protuding. "Ferocious
and bloodthirsty," read the legend
in front of their apartment.
"Well, here goes, Hank" said his
companion, fastening the helmet
over the mans head, and the new
hand descended into the depths Of
the great tank. Twelve feet below
the surface a semi-twilight pre-
vailed, a green and semi-opaque
world of silence and mystery. The
man made his way to the outlet
pipe at the far end, walking with
difficulty on account of the water
pressure and the heavy diving suit.
To his surprise he found the out
let free. The water was running
out with a slight suction that drew
his hand against the pipe. Plainly
there had been some mistake.
There was nothing to be done; the
pipe was working normally. The
man retraced his steps in the direc-

where the iron ladder entered the

Suddenly, through the glass in

To "a Loving Wife" Your long

a long one in reply, but space will
not permit. l am glad that that
loving husband of yours no longer
spends his evenings drinking and
playing pool, and that you now have
the baby and pretty home. BUT
DO NOT WORRY. Never let your
husband suspect that you fear he
may return to his old habits. Keep
up your tender, loving ways and
your good housekeeping, and I'm
sure you need not fear.
Dear Miss Grey: Do you think a
man loves his wife when he differs
from her in everything? l want to
take up millinery, but my husband
refuses to allow it. He says if ]

me something to think about, but
I've raised ten nieces and nephews
and feel I've done my duty in that

ASBESTOS TAKES WINGS.
"a True Story.)

~ true otoTy.J
Asbestos is a mineral which will
not burn, and is used to make many
different things. One of its many
uses is to be put in the back of gas
CRATES, and it is the white, cotton
like material that has such pretty
color when the crate is lighted.
Mrs. Gray, whom this story is
about, lived in a long row of houses
called terrace. In the living room
of her house was gas crate with
the white asbestos back.
1t was springtime, so Mrs. Gray
lighted the CRATE only once in a
while. One day when she started
to light it she saw that pieces of
the asbestos had disappeared, and
some of it was lying on the floor
below.
Queer" she thought, ''that I
didn't see that before"
She called a repair man and had
new asbestos put on. A few days
later she saw that some of that,
too. was missing.
"Well, what can be the natter"
she said. ut surely can't be mice
Again the CRATE was repaired;
again some asbestos was missing.
One afternoon a day or two later
as she sat sewing by the window
she heard a whirring of wings and
chipping behind the crate guard.
Quietly removing it, she beheld, to
her great surprise, two sparrows
pecking away at the asbestos. They
flew away, of course.
She sat down again and kept
very quiet. After while the birds
came back again and gathered as
much asbestos as they could carry
in their bills, and away they flew
up the chimney to weave it into
their nests.
The little robbers" said Mrs.
Gray to herself. 81 believe they've
been telling their bird friends. and
they have all been stealing part of
my CRATE for their nests. Tomor-
row | shall have a wire net put over
the top of the chimney to keep the
little scamps out
Safe to say, after that the ashes
tos did not take wings and fly
away any more.
