SpoOky Lake Wrecks

From the New York Sun.
"Foundering vessels on the Great Lakes,
especially sailing vessels, frequently sink
so squarely that the diver who goes down
to work in one finds 1t resting on the
bottom as trim and neat as II it were
still sailing on the surface" said G.. w.
Pierce of Toledo. former deep water
diver on the lakes. "It is a weird and
startling sight to come suddenly upon
a full rugged vessel far down in the
solemn depths of the lake standing erect
on its keel. 1t is a sight uncanny and
ghostlike.
There is no sound down there. There
are no waves in those depths. only
mysterious swelling and swaying of the
water. This gives a seesawing, tossing
motion to the spectral craft which is all
the more spectral because there is no
creak of timber, no sound of straining
ropes or grinding keel. The diver might
climb the rigging, walk the deck or go
down into the sunken cabin as readily
and easily as il he were q sailor and
the vessel were sailing along with only
the sky above her.
1.-THE lake diver would much rather find
a sunken vessel a wreck, indeed a broken
ruin on the bottom of the lake, not
the ghost of a perfect ship. He can
work with better cheer among splintered
beams and shattered spars and broken
keels, where he has to chop and pry
and batter down to uncover the objects
of his quest, whether 1t be merchandise
treasure or corpses. than he can on a
sunken craft that gives him free and easy
access

more apt to occur in Lake Huron than
in any other part of the Great Lakes.
What the scientific explanation of it is
don't know, but diver can work on
the bottom of Lake Huron at a depth at
least 20 feet deeper than he can in any
other of the lakes.
"In Lake Superior diver cannot see
further than 10 feet into the water sur
rounding him, but in Lake Huron he
can plainly distinguish objects so feet
away At depth of 100 feet in Lake
Superior diver can work not more than
one hour at time, the feeling of oppres-
sion becoming then unbearably painful;
but have worked five hours at stretch
in Lake Huron, lie feet below the sur
face, before the pressure forced me to
signal to be hauled up.
There is fascination about the call
ing of deep water lake diver that few
sdivers after becoming familiar with the
life are able to resist. This seems the
more singular because no diver. shut up
in armor and held down in the depths
by 100 pounds or more of weights. can
ever Danish entirely the thought that
little stoppage of the air pump leak
in his hose. or some slight carelessness
on the part of his tender in the boat
above is sufficient to bring down upon
him the weight OF mountain and crush
the life out of him as in the twinklng
of an eye.
There Is always danger too of the diver
fouling his lifeline himself by catehing in
on some projecting splinter or around
sharp edged timber and in his haste to
release it he may precpitate the catas-
trophe of which he stands the most in
dread

when the candidates for matrimony faced
the altar, Blat's lips kept working and
his brow wgas corrugated, which was
evidence to me that the speech was
slipping from Blat's memory like an eel
through a creased auger hole. When L
got through the ceremony, Blat was
about to begin that speech when I says
sorter casual and sudden like, salute the
bride!' Blat was pale and his knees were
knocking together and from the shape
of his mouth it was apparent he wanted
to ask a question something about the
custom of kissing the bride, maybe. FL
nally, he got it out-'Er-eh, says he; is
er cussing kistomary?' This episode
closed the oratorical career in Pecl<er-

phalus Elemosynary Sandln.''
Some of the horny handed constit-
uents of the Hon. Tom Hefln, congress-
man from the Randolph, Hatchett Creek
district, got mad at the Hon. Tom on
account of his vote on some tariff ques-
tion; and called him to account for it,"
observed the widower from Wedowee.
II was sorter counting around likely

when the neighbors decided to call an
Indignation mass meeting up there, and

panies in the city and draws a good sal

age. He says:

$1,000 on wearing apparel.

who works in the establishment and I'll
venture to say not one of them, not even
the proprietor knows me when he sees
me. Often while on the downtown streets
have passed the proprietor or one OF
his employees and they never speak, be-
cause they never know me. have never
received a letter from them of any par
ticular, advertising in any way their
stock. They do not know where | live

customers but maybe it's as one lady
told my wife. they're pretty near all
that way in Birmingham
"Our grocery bill amounted to about
$50 a month. and there is no reason
but what the first man we went to
should be getting that $50 except for
the simple fact that he was indifferent
and listless to business opportunities.
Birmingham doesn't need that kind of
business men. If l got into that habit
I'd lose my job in week."
Other instances similar to these can
be cited. But nothing could be proven
except what has already been demon
strated by these actual experiences to
the effect that there are too many list
less. Indifferent and almost lazy busi-
ness men in Birmingham for Birming-
hams good.
There are many excuses. 1t Is moth
ing but a habit. that's true. Probably
the most satisfactory and available ex-
cuse would be that Birmingham is such
a young town. Is 1t possible that Bir-
mingham has grown so It that she
still contains some of the II } Of the
country village? Are there business
men in Birmingham who have been
so busy watching the town grow that
they have not realized that the town
is now a metropolis and that there has
come into what was once mere little
inland country town dozens of outside
firms which are actively in competition
with the old ones. 1t can be safely
said that the new firms are the livest
and 1t is tho older ones which are
partly asleep and Indifferent where
such conditions exist.
It's time for everybody in Birming-
ham to pull his head out of sand and
get busy.
An increase in population of 245 per
cent must have an increase in business
system efficiency of an equal per cent.
