The men whoaald they could see a great
diatauce said that they cmld statul on the
lx>ttom li'ifis't down, and looking up could
dietinguIall the ontunea of « ship above
them. These divers are pmctlrally new ID
the business. The oldest one had only lieen
a diver five years, nnd had never been down
In the ocean more than a hundred feet.
The same qnaation was put to divers of
more exnerienos. They alaudleagiawl. hut
not so much as did the party of young man,
Robert EtofBSSiWho was a practical diver
ten years ago, and only recently retired
from the business ami became a contractor,
said: "In all my experience I don't think 1
waa aver able to aao n >ro than so fast away
through the" water. More often it was 10
or 15 feet, and a good deal of the time it
wan Impossible to see at all.
"At Inside work, that is. In the harbor
this aide of Sandy Hook, divers work In
the dark almost always. The water i- Bet*
dom clear enough to see your hand in front
of your face, and everything is done by
feeling. Outaide, where there la a pood
aandy tmttoin, the wateris clearer, hut even
then, at a depth of 75 or 100 feet, it is sel-dom
clear enough to aee through, although
I believe the men who worked on the wreck
of the Oregon were able to aee the numlier
overt'.,. Mil loom There was 1101
feet of water over her.
A Divot's OPINION.
"On a good dear day, when the water la
clear on top, when there is no ripple, It U '
possible to aee objects distinctly 18 feet j
away at a depth of 75 feet or even 100 feet.
At that depth when you look up you can !
notice that the water seems to be of a I
slightly lighter color than It does if you
look horizontally. You can dlatlngulah
nothing. You can't aet the bottom of tho
boat from which you are working, but If i
you look right straight in the direction of '
the ship you may notice that the water 1»
the same odor as It appears to be when you
look horizontally.
"I never notiei-d parti* ularly tbo differ-ence
in the color of the water or ohjeca In j
tin water as I went down. I think they
Slwsya looked tho same, a kind of dull '
color. Tho color of fishes cannot be dls-tingufcihed.
They simply look like dark |
objects moving alxmt. My ability to see.
under water didn't increase with exper- j
iem.- 1 u ii Id see as well tho first time as I
could the last time I went down. Constant
practice, of course, enables a man to stand
the pressure of great depths better.
"Usually a man la-Kins to feel uncom-fortable
when he gets down 73 feet, and at
125 feet the average man would faint awny
He would Is- overcome by the pressure. T
have been down that deep and havaomna
up all right, but I till you I didn't enjoy
the trip. I know one diver who went down
140 feet. That was in the lakes. He was
after a safe full of money lnlohgiugto the
VeUs-Fargo Express company lie got it."
Edward Hlckmann has been a diver nine
years. He wai one of the ate Avers who
went down in the ocean nnd brought up a
part «»f the valuable cargo of the steamship
Oregon. The Oregon was sunk In ISO feet
of water. In some places there was 13> feet
of water above her decks. This Is the
deepest water ID which divers of Nsw York
have ever been asked to work. Ko effort
batbeeu made to raise ahlpgeunk In deeper
water, or to asv« then- cargo. Ulel
Is now working for the government In the
New York harbor. The other day, Jaftt
about the time lie was preparing to la-gill
Mlday's work on the bottom of the buy,
1M stopped for a moment nnd said:
WOUKIMi IN 1 III; UAUUOU.
"On a clear day and under favorable con-ditions
a diver can generally see from twen-ty
to thirty feet, sometimes more. Knex-oei-
tional cases, the Oregon for instance,
when we didn't go down except in the very
best weather, we could see further. We
could stand on the deck of the Oregon and
see fifty feet in every direction. We OOOid
stand six feet away from the hrass plates
over the doors on the .-learner and could
read tup Inscriptions, We could distin-guish
the colors of t he wood and of i
under water. I reim-mlnT one day we
could look up and see the sun that shone
through the 120 feet of water. Its color
was a sort of blui.-h yellow. It was bright-er
than the moon, hut was hazy. The not*
torn of the ocean was tine white sand. Wo
could stand on the IMJIIOUI and look down
at our feet and distinguish the grains of
sand.
"That was five feet. When wec.une to-ward
the surface after an hour's work tho
water looked lighter and bjghter.end, look-lug
up, things looked red. It resembled
the appearance of the sky at ptmrise. We
worked on the Oregon under an air press-
UTOof sixty pounds Wefeltall rightdo«*n
in the water, but when we came out wo
felt the effect of the pressure. Ifweworted
too long at the great depth we became tem-porarily
paralysed. Now. in barborwork
it Is so muddy that divers all labor in the
dark. The water looks day color after you
t get down a n>oi or two.
"I don't think |but my ability to see un-der
water in.leased with practice. My
power to stand pressure did. With con-stant
practice, going a little deeper CM ry
day, I think I could u«i down I.VJ feet, I
might work 140 feel down, but a foot lower
than 150 would Is* mighty risky even to go
down nnd come light up again. We get
used to working under water, and Ifaabonl
the same to us as working on land. The
worst feature of under water work Is the
headaches that come from it. If a diver
hasa little cold in the head and goes into
the water ha la In agony till becomes out.
Beads baa come without a cold."—New

To Keep the Shoe- Tied.
There is something depraved about shoe-strings
that causes them to untie at the
most Inopportune time-. Patent holders
for the shoes! rings are not alwayseffeetud.
The beet method of keeping them tied is to
,ie them first in a long looped bow knot
n„d then pick up the loops and tie firmly a
second knot with tho loops. I nder ordi-nary
conditions thU knot will outlast the
iay'e walking, and may be easily untied
then ,»K-**nry.-New York Tnbuue,
worthless, nu Ufa la ruined by ill judged
praise
"Praise,'' Bays an old writer, "is like the
powerful drug, hellebore. A drop given
by a wise inedicim-r instills strength into
the weak. Hut too much inflames (he
blood and maddens the brain."
Many a UMMsat, sensible school girl,
through t he Hatter] of her companions or
boy admirers, becomes a allly woman, ut-terly
aaaleai Ui the m i id's work, for width
her batter qualities would lit her.
As many lives, however, are cramped
and stunted for the want of praise. The
child or the adult who feels that he is un-ppieriited
is apt either t • hcconie dis
OOOrSgedor to exalt his own merits inor-dinately
ami to become more vain than if
he had received discriminating approval,

The generality of people UhOf under the
delusion that doctors' fees, especially iu
New York city, are very extravagant. This
Is a mistake. The general physician aver-agea
from i'i to e"» a visit, according to the
means of the patient. The ofliee consulta-tion
of a specialist or consult ant is from *10
to US for the first vbrit, and laaa frveue-cceding
ones. The fee for a consultation
visit is regulated by the reputation of the
physician and the pecuniary condition of
the patient. Yi-its out of town range from
$10 to t£* an hour, la-sides traveling ex-penses
and a regular consulting foe.
Surgical operations are rated by charac-ter,
time and skill, and often run Into the
thousands. Of course night calls are
double the amount of day calls, whether
consultation or otherwise. There are
many exjierts and famous physicians who
can ask enyprioa t hey please and get it,
but these are the exceptions. The .
doctor is content with the regular fee, and
many struggling young men are glad to
get $i from all for whom thai prescribe,
whether iu the offioa or at their homes, —

When we arrived the place was well
crowded, and presented a striking Kj>ce-tacle.
In this den, with damp, black walls,
anplaatered and overgrown with fungus
and clouds of OObwebe, a black roof of bare
beams, the many recesses filled with sticks
aud boxes and broken furniture, was only
one large flamed smoking oil lamp, which
threw a dim light on a crowd of evil look-inu-

Here and tin re was a filthy topped rot^

appointed president and treasurer their
gatherings. They nuinU-r Several hun-dreds,
mid every man and woman's post
has a fixed or approximated value, which
must bj realized.
Should then1 lie any falling off or any
suspected discrepancy the post Is given to
a inure capable person. There have been
esses of a bat our informant called arnbei

It would la-difficult for any memheruf the
aaaooiattou with subversive Ideas to dis-pose
of any sum retained.
If he squandered it on tbo road home It
would U' known at once, and he would
know what fate waited him in I.a Cave.
If he were BUSpOl ted of secreting any coins
he would Is- quickly stripped, searched
and, if found guilty, consigned to a more
difficult station. He might even be ex-pelled,
and then woe la-tide him if he went
tunny of the syndicate's stations. He would
have the treatment dealt to any other out-sider
who intruded on the reserved hunt-ing
grounds.
The syndicate has a variety of systems
in dealing w ith the collection* of its mem
IKTS. In several cases, especially for well
known frequenters of a particular site, it
levies cent rihut ions of a fixed sum per
week. In return for which the syndicate

and bonds. It is safo In the hands of a
small committee, but a difliculty of the
syndicate has all along been the iuablllty
irs able financiers.
The more reputablo mombers, who had
gone home Immediately after the distribu-tion,
had many of them very considerable
savings. All of these are lodged Iu the
syndicate's funds. Auy ntemlicr could
withdraw bis money nnd retire when lie
had amassed sufficient for any likely ob-ject.
The usual desire of the economical
mendicant, like that of all Parisians, Is to
get together enough to enable him to buy
a small cottage in the country, and live
thereafter on an annuity; or, prsfersbly,
rank as a rentieror inde|K-ndeiit person re-tired
on a competency.

one of our companions. That was his

He drank one or two glasses' of wine and

now In honorable retirement.
The "money losers" form a recognized
branch of the profession. These are usual-ly
children or young female recruits from
the country, who Ismionn pitifully a sup-posititious
half sovereign which a big man
knocked out of their band as they were
going a message. The crowd oolleets ami
aids to search the gutter. When the weep-ing
damsel liegins t o talk of a hard hearted
and suicide in t he Seine n~ all that
Is left for her the crowd becomes practical,
and one effusive blue blouse workman
gives out of the sweat of his brow the Drat
silver coin to make up the lost amount.
Then t he crowd disperses, patting Itself on
the back for its tenderness of heart toward

Without Cost.
Most everybody within a hundred miles of our store is
talking about the generous plan. It's a trade-bringer. No
question about that. Wanamaker & Brown are the head
and front of the clothing business in Philadelphia, sure. We
buy cloth direct from the mills. We manufacture the cloth
into Clothing. We sell Clothing direct to the people who
wear it. There are no profits lost in selling it, therefore.
We sell at the lowest prices possible so as to get the largt st
business. There is no question about the goodness of our
Clothing. No better can be manufactured. There is no
question about the variety. You get a choice out of the
greatest, largest, best, choicest Clothing stock in all Phila-delphia.
There is no question about the price.
There's no question about anything except—Can you,
a ri-sident of Cuiisliohookeii,-Monlgoiiiery county, Penn.t.,
g' t to Philadelphia while Wanamaker & Brown keep open
tli.tr offer to pay your fare to Philadelphia and return ?
It's filling our store with crowds of buyers every day
That's what it is done for. Just purchase the ticket at your
station at regular excursion rates. After you've bought th<-
proper amount of Clothing, present your return coupon, and
we pay you the price of your excursion ticket
