Spider Inventor of Divinq Bell

1t is claimed that the diving bell
was invented by a spider. At least
we are certain that if it was not
actually invented by him it was used
by him long before the hydraulic
engineers made one for the same
purposes.
The diving bell, as is we'll known,
is a cup shaped body with an open
end down. which is let into the water.
The air is caught in the bell and
keeps the water from rising beyCrQ
n certain level from any specified
depth and, of course, allowing any
one inside to breathe and act as if
he were on dry land The improve
nlent of the diving bell. known as the
caisson, is a huge pipe that has COM

pumped from above. The spiders

terms when considered from the
standpoint of the nation, few au-
thentic statistics which have been
made public at various times dur
ing the last few years may be
quoted. In the shipment of eggs
there is a waste of $200,000,000
annually. No more than six out
of ten eggs laid reach the con-

waste in mining of more than ST.

Senate Approves }
Tariff Duties on
California Products

Washington, July 5.-After some
sharp controversies. but by over
whelming majorities the senate APP
proved today tariff duties on a num-
Der of California products, including
a rate of Is cents a pound on shelled
almonds, which was the subject of a
somewhat heated exchange between
Senators Johnson, Republican, Cali
fornia and Lenroot, Republican, Wis
consn.
Other duties approved by the SEN
ate included:
Figs, dried or in brine, two cents a
pound: prepared or preserved, 40 per
cent. ad valorem.
Raisins, ? Il cents a pound: cur
rants, zantc or others, two cents a
pound.
Lines, in natural state or in brine,
and oranges, one cent pound; grape
fruit. one half of one cent a pound.

pound; prepared or preserved, 40 per
cent. ad valorem.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massa-
chusetts, continued his general fight
against the items in the agricultural
schedule. He declared that the rate
on raisins could not be justified as
the industry had never been as pros
porous as it had since national prohi
bition became effective.
THE prohibition amendment did
more for this industry than a tariff
ever could do he said.
Discussing the rates on dates, the
Massachusetts senator charged that
whoever promises to vote for this
bill on either side of the chamber can
get whatever rates they want" As
he made this declaration he faced
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona,
who had supported the committee du-
ties on almonds and wanuts, on which
roll calls were demanded.
Il honestly believe that if the SEN
ator in charge of this bill had made
the rate on dates 200 per cent. he
could have got it passed" declared
Senator Walsh. There is no longer
independent judgement and action in
this body"

asserted that it was time to curtail
debate and said there had been no

as to time for final vote on the
bill.
Senator Underwood responded that
it was not possible to agree to
time to vote on a bill which still
was beinb amended by the finance
committee, as opponents could not
know what amendments would be
presented or whether portions now
satisfactory would be changed later.
Pointing out that the tariff always
had been a political issue. the
Democratic leader said the real pro-

was that they had delayed present

many mistakes and reminded the
Republicans that under the rule it

Democrats for a date on which a

Senator Kellogg, Republican,
Minnesota, said it took only seven
weeks to pass the existing Under
