Queensland Pearl Divers.

The Queensland diver gets into his
dress at daybreak, steps on to the lad
der over the side and fastens the life
line round him. The tender screws on
the face glass, the pumps are started,
and down goes the diver to look for
shell. If he is on ground where shell
is plentiful he fills his bag. then allows
his dress to fill with air, which brings
him to the surface, when he is hauled
to the boat by the life line. He emp
ties his bag on to the deck and goes
down for another bagful Some Of
the divers occn sionally work In TWEEN
ty-five fathoms. The greatest danger
with which the diver has to contend
Is paralysis, and, knowing the danger
he runs, he sometimes demands f20O in
advance, and this amount is some
times lost to the pearler through the
zeal and daring of the diver.-London

Senator Newlands. who has been men-
toned good deal Is d possible candidate
for tue Democratic Presidential nouina-
ton. announced recently that he had no
desire to become candidate; that what
he was really anxious for was that Con-
gress should take up legislative pro-
gram and saw wood until it should sue
coed in putting through some real useful
Legislation. Perhaps the nomination or
Senator Newlands was somewhat unlikely
but the statesman from Nevada is a real
statesman, and he has made record in
Congress which hardly needs any further
establishment. He could go into the
convention and get very fatteriug
complimentary vote and perhaps win the
nomination, in case Of deadlock, but he

Some of the presidential candidates are
seeking to make themselves solid with
Wall street ~ fierce ienunciations of the
initiative and referendum. They assume
that an attempt will be made to indose
these reforms in the next democratic
national platform and are virtuously pro
testing in advance. There is no eiihood
of any attempt being made to secure an
Endorsement of the initiative and referen-
dunn in the national platform of 1912, but
the discussion of the issue will serve a
useful purpose. A candidates position
on these snbjects-if he understands
them indicates his position on other
questions. A great deal depends on the
candidates position on fundamental pro-
positions; if be trusts the people he can
be trusted-ifhe does not trust the people
he can not be trusted. The Commoner.

The Road Drag In Winter.

At this season of the year the road drag
should not be neglected. Its use will be
followed by results such as do not attend
its operation at any other time of the
year. Ifthe roads are to be kept in a
fit condition to be travelled during the
winter and spring. a time of the year
when the earth roads are at their worst,
they should receive a careful dragging
now and at every opportunity during the
winter when there is a sufficient thaw to
work the road.
It is the water on the road that makes
the mud through which travel passes
with difficulty, cutting the deep ruts and
mud holes that make many roads almost
| impossible in winter and spring. The
use Of the drag will keep the crown of
| the road rounded and smooth so that the
rain aud melted SHOWS will not be left
standing in the tracks TO soak in aud

out of them into side bitches and by
smoothing effect leaving the surface in
condition TO shed additional rain It
keeps the crown built up and smooth,
lwell-compacted earth surface to Withstand
the penetrating effect of rian aud frost.
If the roadway is very badly rutted and
full of holes the use of the drag when the
ground is slushy will give good results.
This treatment is particularly applicable
before cold spell when it is possible to
have roadway freeze smooth.

League plan TO Pass Local Option
Bill Early.

The Anti Saloon League IN last weeks
American Issue, It's weekly Official
organ, outlined plan for passing the
local option bill early in order to get il
cut Of the way Of other legislation. Il
proposes TO save the time usually spent in
waiting for the appointment 81 commit
tees BY not sending the local option bill
to the Temperance Committee at all. on
the ground that the bill having been be-
fore the state for four years is 50 well
understood and so perfect that a reference
to committee is not necessary, for any
amendment offered by the committee
would have to be fought ont on he floor
anyhow.
The League gets around the two thirds
vote necessary to suspend the rules By
proposing that the measure be considered
BY the entire House in COMMITTEES of the
Whole, which only requires majority,
and it can then go on the calendar and
be open to amendment on secoudreading
the same as if it had come from an ordi-
nary committee.
\ The League also suggests that since ii
is impossible to carry to Annapolis all the
people who are interested, it will hire the
Lyric for hearing and the entire House
can occupy the stage and the rest of the
space can be equally divided between the
friends and the opponents of the bill, and
each side can be given an hour and half
Of time to present its case. The article
also calls attention TO the fact that last
time very little business was done until
local option was gotten out Of the way
and that as the matter is bound to come
up anyhow, the sooner it is disposed Of
the better for every other interest.
It further says that if the Democrats in
coatrol of the Legislature del action on
the bill the Republicans will get most of
the credit when it is finally passed and the
question is likely to come up in the next
legislative campaign on the issue of
protecting it, whereas if Democratic
legislature passes it promptly and Re-
publican governor signs it both sides will
be. entitled to credit and the local option
bill will permanently disappear as dis
turbing issue.

When one Drills with Diamonds,

A diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article, says Cas-
sier's Magazine. It's value, however.
will undergo fluctuations, dependent
upon the price of the diamonds. Per-
haps $500 is a fair value for Bit
The diamond used is exceedingly hard
harder than those usually used as
jewelry. Their carat price Is consid-
cradle, averaging, say, $50 per carat.
The diamonds used will weigh from
one to two carats, so that eight
have a value ranging from $3.50 to
$500 on the average. The loss of a
bit means many diamonds gone and
may lead to difficulty with the hole.
The diamond is not tough, but brittle.
It will Withstand heavy pressure If
applied evenly and without shock. 1t
can readily be seen that drilling
through seamy rock may become quite
unfavorable. If there is much quartz
present the abrasion may become ex-
cessive. Under ordinary conditions.
however, the wear on the diamonds,
while considerable, is by no means pro
hibitive.

Never to return.

And meet me on the heavenly shore.
