Diving Bell Invented by Spider

TT il claimed that the diving bell
was invented by a spider. At
= least. we are certain that If it was
not actually invented by him 1t was
used by him long before our hydraulic
engineers made one for the same pur-
poses.
The diving bell is. as ii well Known,
. cup shaped body with open end

air Is caught in the bell ana keeps the
water from rising beyond a certain
level at any specified depth and of
course allowing any one inside to
breathe and act as II he were on
dry land. The Improvement Of the
ewing bell known as the caisson IS a
huge pipe which has compartments,
into which air is pumped from above.

stories about stamps and stamp
collectors that have been brought to
