to the new. Father. Time, fugiting In
his well known Marathon, is passing
a given point He'll get by, of course,
but humanity makes great to-do
whenever he passes this or that mile
post. The system Of arbitrary meas
urement seems to be necessary to
men, but it has probably slain more
perfectly good people than all wars
and famines and pestilences put to-
gether. Legions die of old age-by
the calendar.

Very well, then, let us all resolve to

. born largely of conceit, and inordinate

more highly developed in people who

In any other class of individuals. The
really wise, clear-headed, far-seeing
friend usually has quite enough per-

The Daring Divers Of Thursday Island
Diving for shell, and incidentally for
the little treasure of pearl-it has been
estimated that one she'll in a thousand
contains a PEARLS carried on in
deeper water off Thursday Island than
anywhere else. Other productive beds
lie comparatively shallow-the Persian
Gulf. the Sulu Seas, the Gulf of Ma
.naar. The greatest depth at which
q diver in helmet and dress can per-
form any sort Of useful labor Is held
to be one hundred and eighty-two feet.
At that depth a Spanish diver raised
5000 pounds in silver bars from
wreck off Flnisterre. At one hundred
and fifty feet an English diver saved
$4,000 from wreck off Leuconna Reef
Of the Chinese coast.
The maximum depth to which the
sponge-fishers of the Mediterranean
successfully descend is one hundred
and fifty feet. In the Torres Strait,
with the depletion of the beds, the
divers have moved from the shallow
water of from four to six fathoms to
depths of one hundred and twenty feet,
where the operation is a distressful
and perilous one. A paternal law pro-
hibits diving beyond specified depth
Of safety; but as the courts have held
that a diver must be actually seen at
that depth, IL anybody is to be held
amenable, and as the reefs are remote
from any practical scheme Of super
vision, 1t is law of small consequence
after all, and the perilously deep div
ing goes on, no doubt, much as before,
with its occasional issue of sudden
death. Subjected to hazardous de-
gree of atmospheric pressure-at one
hundred feet 1t is sixty pounds to the
square inch--the divers are attacked
by various characteristic disturbances,
pains In the muscles and joints for
example ("the bends''), and deafness,
spells of fainting, and paralysis, other
wise known as divers palsy" The
effects appear when the diver ascends
too rapidly from deep water and the
pressure is removed. 1t is then that
the cases of sudden death occur-the
diver found dead in his helmet or ex.
piring on the DECK when the helmet is
removed.
1t is short life (they say) and a
bitter one, fit only for the yellow and
brown men-the Japanese and Pa
puans and Manila-ment and island
boys; the Japanese, especially, who
are tough fellows. sullenly reckless of
their days, and thinking Of life only
