Peculiar Occupations.

What man leads the most peculiar
modern life The question is mol al
easy one TO answer offhand, but II is
doubtful if any one spends his days In
a more strange manner than the BAG
teriologist. Day after day. week amer
week. year after year he works IN the
laboratory. into which only the prlvl-
legged may enter, studying the microbes
of disease. He may not open the VIM
dow lest he infect the whole neighoor-
hood with typhoid or diphtheria, or any
other diseases with which he is at close
quarters all day. He encourages bacteria
70 multiply. and then through micro
scope. or sometimes with the naked eye,
he watches how they spend their line'
in order that he may combat their deadly
influence.
While the bacteriologist looks forward
the anthropologist looks backward. he
IS the man who daShes off TO any place
when he hears a deep excavation IS Deing
made. and hopes always that he will hnd
a skeleton, and especially skull, Tor ne
is never so happy as when ne unearthS
human relics going back centuries.
The plant doctor is akin TO the oac-
teriologist, for, like the latter, he spends
much Of his time in the laboratory, mol
studying the enemies ofthe human world,
but the enemies Of the plant world, and
he is very proud when, after diagnosing
and treating the various ailments otflow-
ers, he runs across, say, the enemy OF a
rose. and finds how il may be kept from
doing harm.

The Work of the rhine Sweeper.


The fishermen and sailormeu who sweep
the North Sea or the Dardanelles Tor sub
marine mines display, says the Manches-
ter Guardian, a quiet, undemonstrative
herosm that the public does not fully
appreciate.
A newly-sown mine field can be de-
tected by the appearance OF mine on
the surface of the sea or by mines be-
coming entanged with a fishing boats
nets but, unfortunately, il often escapes
detection until some vessel enters the
net and is sunk. AS soon as field is
found ilotilIa of mine sweeperS, acting
under the direction OF gunboat or a
sweeper armed with small gun, sets to
work at sweeping up the mines. Six
boats usually work together in couples.
The sweeping gear consists OF wire
rope that connects each couple OF sweep
ers, and that has a weight or "kite" to
keep the middle OF the rope at the bot
tom OF the sea. There is always the risk
that the boats themselves may come IN
contact with mines. Several British
sweepers have been sunk in that way.
East coast fishing boats have been sent
out to sweep for mines with fishing nets
instead OF the ordinary TRAVELLING gear.
Sometimes only two or three mines are
found in suspected area, but often the
fishermen meet with nothing less than a
"nest" of them. That was the expert
ence OF Lowestoft skipper.
I'VE had been sweeping for some
time" he said, land when found about
dozen mines close to each other in a
blight of my nets, had the fright OF my
lite. There they were, bobbing about
like bunch OF bluffs (sheepskin net
floats and knew that if one OF them
touched another, the whole bunch might
90 off and blow US clean out OF the water.
signaled the gunboat, and she warned
us TO get clear. But we hadn't got hall
so far away as I'd have liked 10 nave
been before there was an explosion that
sent bits of net and dead fish flying in all
directions. | could have sworn my boat
was lifted three feet out OF the water and
dropped back into ii again."
When several mines are swept up TO-
gether by a trawler or in fishing nets,
they often explode when one knocks
against another. Should they fail to do
this, shot is fired into the midst OF them.
Off the coast of Flanders and in the OAR
danelles the mine sweepers have had the
thrilling experience Of having battleships
continually firing over their heads while
they were at work.

Black Diamond, the famous bison OF
the Central Park Geological Garden in
New York, whose image adornS one side
of the nickel, will be slain within few
DAYS, but his massive head will be pre-
served and mounted. The animal has
been the model for many sculptors and
painters. Despite his fame, there were
no bidders when he was put at auction,
but last week the big bison was sold to a
dealer in poultry and game for about 500.
Black Diamond was born 10 years ago
in the geological garden and weighs
something more than ton. He is doclle
and considered a splendid specimen OF
his kind, but has outived his usefulness.
