AT THE SEA BOTTOM.
Fishes Frightened by Whistlina
Of Air From Divers Suit,
SAYS Diver.


ARTHUR p. Mayfield. Of tho United
States navy, was honor mar Of the
navy department last September.
Here is how 1t feels TO go down to the
floor OF the ocean with life dependent
on a slender hose. as related by Mr..
Mayfield:
When they let you down from the
side OF a boat into deep water. the first
impression is like going o of a bril-
lfantly lighted room into "A dark one. for
your eyes are slow in getting accus-
toned to the gloom. +. After a while o
begin to see the phosphorus in h wa
ter. and that helps Il bit. and later.
when you are used to the difference.
You find that you can see things dfmly
by means of, the light that has. Uttered
down from above. However, that is not
enough to work by. You take an cleo
trio light for that purpose.
By the time you get down around 80
feet. h oxygen. supplied through q
air hose. gets in It's work. and you feel
wonderfully exhilarated-its almost
like having a lag on. You descend
gradually, and the feeling Of exhilara-
to realize the dangers about you.
There are all kinds of dangers. First.
there is h danger OF carbon dioxide
poisoning. which hits a man II he
doesn't regulate his air supply properly
and breathes vitiated air over again.
It's just like being in a closed room
without any ventilation. The air pres
sure is regulated to some extent from
above. but you have got to do most OF
the regulating yourself by means Of the
valve in yonr diving suit. Then. at
great depths, when the pressure is half
a dozen or more a-tmospheres, there Is
danger from oxygen poisoning. n this
is extremely hard to overcome.
Contrary to the general belief. there
is little danger from sharks or other
big jewellers down in deep water. for
they are afraid of divers. You see. the
air PUSHES out of the divers suit with n
shrill. whistling sound: he carries an
electric light. and his looks are enough
to brighten off worse things than
sharks.
A diver stays down from 20 to Is
minutes. on an average. 1t would be
dangerous to stay down too long. for.
in addition to the chance OF being
poisoned. there is the cold To be reck-
ned with. to say nothing OF the ire

HAUNTED RIFLE IN TRENCHES
German Gun, Captured in Abandoned
Dueout, Brings Trouble to New

An officer i'm the European trenches
writes:
1 have heard many i'll omens APP

There is one on the tower Albert, for

brought ii out in the trench to clean,
and Fritz thereupon started strafing.
SO that he had TO retire again to his

happened and whenever he brought
the rifle out of the dugout shells would
begin to come YER Finally the thing
got SO on his nerves that he refused
to let anyone touch the rifle. 1t is
probably still in the dugout, for it is
certain that the legend was handed on

ODD BRIDGES IN OLD WORLD
One Of the Most Ancient Structures Is
That Of c%royland, England, Dating
From Ninth Century.

Probably no town in the world has
such strange bridges as Srinagar, the
capital of Kashmir, in India. The city
is built on the banks of the River Jhe-
lum, which is crossed by many wooden
bridges, fitted with old and d%ilapidated
shops and houses, with balconies and
lattice windows. Some of these are
very insecure, and look as if they
might at any time fall into the river
beneath, says London Tit-Bits.
The rooted Kapllbrueck, at Lu-
serne, is one of the most interesting.
1t crosses the River Reuss %diagonally,
and has 112 triangular paintings be-
meath the roof, recording the heroic
deeds of the old Switzers and the suf-
ferings of their patron saints. In the
midst of the Kapellbrueck stands an
octagonal tower, which formed part
of the Notifications of the town in the
thirteenth century. The bridge was
built in 1898.
One of the most curious and ancient
bridges in Europe is that at Croyland,
in Lincolnshire, which is supposed to
date from the ninth century. No road
now passes over and no water under
it. 1t consists of three pointed arches,
which meet in the center, and the as
cent is SO steep that only foot passen-
gers can go YER it. Upon the bridge
is a seated figure i'm stone of a robed
Saxon king.

WILL REPATRIATE
 ANTWERP BELGIANS,
Germany Forced Partly to Make Good Promises Made To
 Holland.

ROME, Jan 22.-News has reached here that Germany had notified Hol- land that Belgian workmen deported from the province of Antwerp will be given the option Of returning to their homes in Belgium. and. If unable to find work there, Of removing to Hol- land or returning to Germany. This step is taken in consequence Of Hol- lands representations based on the invitation Of the military governor Of Antwerp in October 1914. addressed to Belgian fugitiyes in Holland.
 The military governor assured the fugitiyes that if they returned they would not be drafted for forced labor for Germany. The German communi- cation explains that these assurances were given under quite different cir cumstances from the present and under the expectation that the war would be matter of months only. but that Germany has decided to ack- nowledge and respect them.
