the time he was shut up in the case preparatory to going over the side, until he arrived on deck again an hour later.
 The diver in the ordinary suit of rubber with SDtg round metal head piece is a strange looking creature, but Turner in his suit of brass armor glistening in the sunlight looked more like Percy the steel automaton of the Sunday comics than anything else. The big bolts that fastened the head piece to the body looked like so many buttons, which if pressed would make the copper autOmaton walk the deck or jump over the side, or possibly run and leap into the air.
 Lowered by Derrick
 The ordinary diver steps down a ladder into the water and gradually disappears beneath the waves Tur- ner in his metal suit was swung up into the air and out over the side like q piece of freight that was being lightered. It was a strange sight to see, this metal man up In the air dangling from the end of a steel ca ble on the derrick. As he started to descend, he said to his brother-in- law over the telephone: "Good-by, I am going on a long journey.'' The brOther-in-law shouted the messa ge to the party watching on deck. Through the small heavy glass cir cular windows in the headpiece Tur- ner watched the party until he des- cended beneath the waves
 As the metal case bearing Turner disappeared from view, the little par ty on deck realized for the first time the great danger of the experiment. If the steel cable ever parted, they knew that Turner would never be able to come up. There was no life line to haul him up. His life depend- ed upon the cable to which he was suspended and upon the air that was

period and the period of Mexico's in ternaI dissensions, the trade between the United States and Mexico has de veloped very rapidly, and especially in the matter of our exports to that country, which jumped from s34, 4,- 900 in the fiscal year 1915, to $11O,- 163,OOO in the fiscal year 1919, and was showing at the end of September an indication of a 25 per cent. growth in the calendar year 1919, as conpar- ed with that of 1918, though in the matter of imports from that country the calendar year figures did not seem likely to exceed those of the fiscal year. In the nine months ending with September, the total value of merchandise exported from the United States to Mexico was S9, 9,432, 900 against s72,122,O 900 in the corres- bonding months of the preceding year, an increase of B per cent, while the imports from Mexico dur

 In all of these articles the trade has grown rapidly. very rapidly, in recent years. The internal disseusions of the people of Mexico did not reduce their purchasiRg power as greatly as had been anticipated, while the Euro pean War, which occurred a couple of years after the beginning of the in ternal troubles of Mexico, stimula ted our sales to that country by reason of her lack of shipping and therefore absence of opportunity to purchase materials in Europe as formerly, while our own increased demand for her lead and copper and sisaI stimu- lated that trade, and a large part of her increasing petroleum supplies naturally found their way to the U. S. as the nearest country having facili- ties for refining this crude product

pumped down to him through rubber tubes that passed through the metal piece over his head- lie realized this himself, for the first thing he said after disappearing under water was to request his brother-in-law to give him more air and to tell the engineer operating the derrick to lower him slowly so as to remove the strain as much as possible from the cable. A sudden strain might make it snap.
 15O Pounds to the Inch
 Slowly the cable was paid out and slower and slower he descended, be- cause the deeper he got, the more buoyant the metals case became un- til finally just before it touched bot tom the cable became almost slack. It is estimated that the pressure on the metal at 360 feet was about 150 pounds to the square men. me great danger was the weakening of bad joint or section ot the metal under this pressure and the development of a leak.
 That was one reason why, Turner -equested that he be lowered slowly. He wanted the strain to grow slowly so that he might detect a possible leak before it was too late to remedy it and save his life. Turner said he was willing to risk his life in mak- ing the test, but he declared he want ed the risk to come from the experi- ment itself and not from a bad joint or careless handling of the test.
 Silence Signal of Peril
 Turner, however, renamed cheer ful during the entire test. While go- ing down he kept ub a constant chat ter with his brother-in-law. Re member" said he over the telephone to his tender when he was about half way down, do not hesitate moment to give the signal to pull me up when I stop talking. I will keep talking just as long as everything goes well
 As he descended he asked for more air, said he was feeling fine but a bit chilly. At one point he ran into a school of small fish, which he report ed over the telephone. He reported seeing fish galore of many kinds and as he reached the bottom he said ii was hard and rocky.
 Half Hour for Trips
 s As the test was simply to determine the strength of the armor suit under unusual strain and pressure, Turner signalled to come up as soon as he had touched the bottom. It took aDOuI nall an nOur TOT the QeSceIli and half an hour for the ascent Fur ner says the descent and the ascent could be made in much shorter time in a fully-tested suit of armor. He said the joints in the suit work ed perfectly. He had little difficulty in swinging his legs and arms back and forth, and says he is ready to gc at once to Ireland to salvage the treasure on the Laurentrc.
 The little party of watchers on the deck gave a wild cheer as the tender reported that Turner had reached the bottom and asked to come up. He was raised as slowly as he had been lowered, and after being lifted out on deck he was out of the case in 20 minutes.
 His Second Worlds Record
 Turner, who made this remarkable experiment, has an international re- putatOn, having worked on Ameri- can. British and Spanish ships under water. He has operated all along the Atlantic coast from Halifax and Portland, Me, to Patagonia. He has been diving for 22 years and was at one time the active partner in the
