Deep Sea Diving Now Feasible.

Experiments made by the British ad-
rnisalty ard the United States navy
prove that deep-sea diving IS feasible,
says Popular Science Monthly.
1t has been found that the shorter
the time diver takes in getting to
The bottom the better, because the
body absorbs less nitrogen. Also, the
diver must have at least one and one
half cubic feet Of air per minute at
all depths.
Lacing the legs of the divers suit

him to come to an erect position with
ease. 1t also lessons the danger Of
