Early Divfno Apparat,a

The first record of the use of an
apparatus in diving. says writer in
the Christian Science Monitor is when
alexander the Great made descent
IN machine which kept him dry and
allowed him to obtain air from res
ervoir. Pliny writes about divers carry
ing one end of a leather pipe between
ithelr teeth, While the upper end was
attached to floating bladder. but il
was not until 1919 that Augustus Siebe
constructed an apparatus supplied with
compressed afr by means of hand
pump, as today. His dress was an
open one, with the air entering the
top OF the helmet and escaping under
Its edge, SO that if the diver STONED
the helmet became flooded, and was
consequently dangerous. In 1880. how
ever, he designed the closed dress. as
now used. with several important i'm
iprovements.

Cork Fabric.

Not so long ago we saw a descrip-
ton in foreign paper of fabric
which was made from cork by re-
Gently discovered French process. 1t
was said to be waterproof non-con-
ductor of heat and unbreakable. BY
using special machine, thin slices of
cork are placed in chemical baths to
remove the resinous parts which
make cork more or less brittle. Upon
the removal of the resin the sheets
of cork become flexible and may be
compared in that respect with leather.
In fact the sheets may be folded and
bent without breaking BY combining
the cork sheets with any suitable
cloth, preferably a thin and strong
cloth of good color, an excellent
waterproof material may be obtained.
According to the description given an
adhesive preparation is employed to
glue the cork to the cloth; or If a
stronger garment is desired, the cork
sheets are placed between two layers
of cloth.

HUMAN NATURE NOT CHANGED
All Records Show That Mankind Has
Remained Much the Same
Through the Ages.

Read the Oldest records of our race,
and you will find the writer's holding
up to admiration, or relating with
heartfelt emotion, the facts that we
ourselves most delight in. The fidel-
ity OF Joseph to his master, the love
OF Hector for his wife and child, come
home to our hearts as suddenly as to
those of the ancient Hebrew among
the Syrian mountains, or the pagan
Greek in the islands of the Aegean
sea The first Chaldean who OBJ
served that the planets seem to Jour
ney among the other stars, and not
merely rise and set in with them, that
Jupiter and Sirius follow different
laws, knew truth which is now the
foundation of astronomy in London
and Paris no less than of old in Baby
Ion. The first Egyptian, who, medi-
tatlng on curved figures, discerned
that there is one in which all the
INES from one point to the circumfer-
ence are equal, gained the idea of a
circle, such as it has presented itself
TO every later man from fhales and
Euclid down to Laplace and Herschel.
nay, those who most exalt the re-
qulrements of our age compared with
the past-and they can hardly be too
much eSalted-must admit that all
progress implies continuity-that we
can take step forward only by hav-
Ing firm footing for the step behind it.

Divers in Ancient History.

The earliest mention of diving Is
made by Homer, abouA-25O B. c., in
the "lliad,' when Patroclus compares
the fall of Hector's charioteer to a
diver diving for oysters; and Thucy-
dides tells OF divers being used to re-
move submarine barriers placed with
the object of impeding or injuring
the Grecian fleet at the siege of SYRIA
cuse. These divers had no apparatus
save stone to carry them quickly to
the bottom and to cling to for the
brief period, about two minutes. they
could stay below This is called nat
ural diving and is still in use for col
lecting sponges and pearls at Ceylon
and in the Mediterranean.

Longest and Shortest Days.

The days generally known as the
longest and shortest days Of the year
are the days which occur when the
sun Is farthest removed from the ce-
lestial equator. There are two such
points in the ecliptic one where it
touches the tropic of Capricorn and
the other where it touches the tropic
of Cancer. The former is known as
the summer solstice and the latter the
winter solstice to those who inhabit
the northern latitude and vice versa.
The sun attains these two points on
June q and December q, which are
commonly known as the longest and
shortest days OF the year.

Before Needles and Thread.

Thorns and fish bones were used as
a means of fastening clothing long
before the discovery of needles and
thread. Among the remains of the
lake jewellers of central Europe have
been found great number of pins.
some of bone and others of bronze.
Some are quite fancy, having orna-
mental heads, while others are clum-
silly fashioned. Some have double
stems and a few have been found
that were made exactly like the safety
pins Of today. Among Egyptian and
Greek ruins have been found many
specimens OF artistically made pins.
Ancient roman bronze pins and bone
hairpins, with fancy heads, have been
found at Pompeii. The Romans also
made very elaborate tibulae, similar to
the present day brooch.

DOUGLAS FIR WIDELY USED
American Tree Attains Splendid Pro-
portions and Is Remarkably AS
sertive and Prolific.

Douglas fir is the name given to one
Of the best timber trees in the west
ern part of the country. Specimens
are common with diameter of 10
feet, and travellers in the belt where
they grow report having seen them
20 feet in diameter and tapering
straight to height of from $50 to 300
feet.
The coast range of the Sierras pro-
vides the best trees. Only the IA
nous redwood and two or three other
Hrowths exceed the fir in size, and
none except the yellow pine produces
80 much commercial timber. The tree
Is sometimes styled the Oregon pine,
but foresters say it is more Of hem
lock. Its botanical name is false
hemlock," although that designation
is not generally approved.
1t Is one of the most assertive and
most prolific OF timber growths. For
esters say that no other produces so
many trees to the acre, and when a
grove is started it crowds out growths
Of other species. 1t finds wide va
riety of uses. being made into tele-
graph poles, ship masts and derrick
booms, and is also used for interior
finish. Coarse and fine grained woods
are turned out from it, according to
the age. The annual rings are not
nearly as thick after the first century
or so of growth as in the earlier years,
and so the same tree may yield more
than one grade Of timber. Full-grown
trees are more than 100 years old.

Reindeer Good Travellers.

Surprising records have been made
by Alaskan reindeer in long distance
travel. and also in speed tests, says
Carl ]. Lomen in the National Geo

distances. the deer can outrun the dog

in Alaska two deer pulling a sled and
driver made five miles in IA minutes

Stop orders which recent sellers had
placed were uncovered on the advance.
and after their execution the market
eaced under liquidation and scattered
selling seemed to reflect expectations
that eastern belt offerings would in
crease on advances. Private advces
said that the holding movement in the
Southwest was Tightening. This was
colored by the smaller volume of hedge
selling, but comparatively little cotton
had been marketed as yet in eastern
belt sections and there was fear of
liquidation from that quarter
