No Broken Parts.

During the progress of the morning
both Of few months old infant or lit
tie neighbor girl came into the room
carrying a doll and stood watching
the operation for some time. The lit
tie girls doll was much the worse for
hard usage, being minus an arm and
a leg. Finally she said to the mother
of the child:
How long have you had your
baby?"
The child was informed, and. look
ing from her doll to the baby, she
said:

the man who will have to get it. he
may be able 10 make his way to the
place where II is kept by the ordinary
means, but sometimes he will have to
blast holes In the vessels hull in order
TO obtain access to 1t. Hundreds Of
thousands of pounds have been
fetched from the sea in this manner
Sometimes there are among the car
60 things which are worth saving,
and the diver has to get them out by
similar methods.
II the whole wreck is to be saved
he has even more difficult feats to
perform. For example. very COM
mon thing is to patch the shell OF a
ship. The great. jagged rent in her
side. 1t may be, where the bow Of
another vessel has cut into her. or
which has been gashed open by

shaped SO that 1t will fit nicely. Prob
ably holes have to be drilled in the
ships skin-all, be it remembered, I'M
der the water-and finally the patch
has to be put in place and secured
with bolts. Then, when the diver has
done all that. the water is pumped out
and the ship foated
OF course in scme cases the divers
work may only be. to fix or run ropes
by which the vessel may be lifted,
but often he has much skillful work
to perform under the difficult condi-
tons Of complete immersion in water
In thick. clumsy dress and under
an abnormal pressure Of air. 1t is.
indeed, wonderful what salvage divers
can do.
There are, however. instances in
which ships have been literally fish
ed up" from the depths to which
divers could not descend. One which
occurs to the writer was that OF
small naval vessel sunk in collision
of the south coast. Two steam tugs
held the ends Of long cable. and by
slowly dragging 1t along the sea floor
they caught the wreck and drew the
cable under it.
Several cables were thus got In
place. and then. being pulled tight at
low water. the tide lifted the ships
above and so lifted the wreck as we'll.
it was towed into shallow
er water. This operation being re-
peated at every tide, the wreck was at
last beached.
In one well known instance of
salvage a ship was literally cut In
two. but the two halves were in good |
condition, and it was resolved to save
them both. The divers put in tenn
porary end of timber to each and SO |
hey were raised, taken to the near
est shipyard and there joined togeth-
er again.
The salvage of wrecks Is a very diff
icult and daring business. but there
ire men who are expert at it and
whose experience is SO extensive that
hey seldom fail at a job which they
once undertake. 1t is only fair to
say, however, that they are much in
lebted to the splendid divers equip
nent which is now procurable, with
,ut which much that they do would

Ponderous Personages
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old Siwash."

Wendell Phillips was born in Bos-
ton, November %. 1911, and passed
the first tweRty-four years of his
life without getting interested in
anything except the course of study
at Hafvard--for study was popular
at Harvard in those days.
At the age of twenty-four Phillips
suddenly became an abolitionist.
Everyone was greatly shocked, for
he was young NM of fine family
and might easily HANG led happy
and useless life surrounded by peo-
pie who were very hard to meet.
But Phillips persisted and presently
he made speech in Faneuil Hall
which caused him at once to be pro-
nounced the best free hand, nn.t
harnessed orator in the United
States.
At this time Phillips was only &C.
bnt he took up the work of freeing
the slaves as enthusiastically as If it
paid dividends, and devoted his life
to the work. Wherever nine or
fourteen people were gathered to-
gether in Massachusetts, for thirty
years there Phillips could be found
addressing few remarks on the
subject of abolition, II was con-
sidered as good an orator as Web
ster and in those days man who
could climb aboard mess of fieecy
words and soar for an hour was con-
sidered TO be greater than the man
who could take the stock market and
choke million out Of It.
