MORE WORK FOR THE DEEP SEA Diver

work at a depth of $50 feet, but no
further"
He told me of one of the most re-
cent of his diving exploits.
Il was sitting on the blade of a
ships propeller trying to release a
cable which 1t had fouled as she went
down. AS I finally got the cable free
the propeller began to move and
pitched me off. It revolved several
times. I thought my number was up,
as believed the blades would cut my
air communications, and it was impos-
sible to get to the top. The water was
very deep. 1t didn't, though, and my
only trouble was In regaining my feet
again. 1t Is extremely difficult to get
a footing once you have lost 1t. Some
times you come up legs first. 1t was a
narrow squeak"
One of the navy divers recently lost
two fingers when nipped by crab
which. he said, measured fully two feet
across its back. There are many
stories about divers which they them
selves cast suspicion on, but this was
not one of them. The fingers were
gone when the man came to the sur
face in an exhausted condition.
But working in the cold seas, where
much Of the diving of the navy now
goes on, there are no such menaces
as the octopus Of tropical waters.
While many craft now lying In COM
paratively shallow water may be
patched up and raised when the war is
over, it is certain that divers will prin-
cipally be engaged in ascertaining the
whereabouts Of wrecks, the causes
which led to their destruction, and the
repairs necessary to attempt any re-
covery Of the vessels. The profession
has been largely augmented during the
war. There are great difficulties in
surveying ships, particularly IL they
lie in northern seas, where the water
Is very cold and where they are at a
depth of from 125 to $50 feet. At the
15O-foot depth the pressure is so great
that before divers are brought to the
surface they must linger in sort of
twilight zone" at depth of 100 feet,
or slightly less, SO their lungs can get
In proper shape before they can be
brought to the top.
One case of the sort which has just
been brought to my attention Is that
of diver who had gone down to
fasten cable to an anchor which had
been lost In water more than 100 feet
deep. 1t was very cold, and his hands
became so numbed that he was unable
to carry on" and had to be brought
to the surface. He was rubbed and
brought back to good condition again
and once more was lowered to the
twilight zone," where his lungs could
go through the process which has been
found absolutely essential In bringing
their cells back to normal condition.
1t has been found that where treated
otherwise the diver becomes easily
subject to tuberculosis.

Signed With Lead Pencil.

London.-The decree Of abdlcation
which overthrew ex-Czar NlchofHs of
Russia and the most autocratic gov
ernment Of recent times, was signed
with the stub Of lead pencil.
The act of abdication itself was
typewritten-the one modern note In
the whole story-but when 1t came
to signing 1t no pen was to be had.
Finally, M. Shulgin, who accom-
panied War Minister Guchkoff to
Pskov, fished bit Of lead pencil from
his pocket. The czar took It and
scrlbbled his name with shaky hand.
These details Of the great Russian
revolution have just been received
