when Gouche held hh suppoird commit

for the llnal leave taking.
There Is to he no further warning.
The earth will crumble to dust, and

In dreams and prophecies fulfilled.

Now they promise us the bicycle for

The bicycle "built for two" was the
first departure from the single-seated
wheel, and It was followed by the trip
lot. Urn "quad." the. "quint," the sex
tuplet, the nonaplct, etc., until the
other day It was seriously announced
that a bike for twenty-five, a "dtiodc
elplet," so to speak, was among the
certainties. That was a record break
er for a while. The twenty-live-seated
wheel Is under construction by the
Herald Cyclo company for the Nynuke
Bicycle club, of Brooklyn, of which
James Gclsslnger Is president. Mr.
Gclsslngcr had trouble In finding any
one willing to undertake the conatruc-
who failed to prepare for the final t.um
moiis would perish. Ho communicated
tho revelation to his family, who at
onco shnred his belief, and tho neigh
borhood In which tho Couches' re
sided became crazed with excitement,
nnd each day has served to add to the
confusion.
A meeting was hold at the Goucho
houso that night nt which weird scenes
were enacted. Goucho went Into u
tranco and tho fiamo stnrtlltiB predic
tion haunted him. The verification of
tho prophecy confirmed tho bcliof of
douche's followers. Men, women and
children fell forward on their knees
nnd ralBCd their voices in suppllcitlcfa
to God.
The lights were extinguished nnd
until tho dawn of tho next day chore
was no cessation of the wild scones.
Women cried and laughed In their fran
tic frenzy; strong men wept and pracd,
but nbovo the babblo of voices 'ould
be heard the words of Goucho telling
his followers to prepare for dlvlno
Judgment.
Gouche Is possessed of considerable
wealth. His property Is valued at 50,
000, the money being largely Invested
In real estate. He holds to tho belief

that it ho buries his treasure It will

his property Into gold and silver coin
nnd tho night before tho crumbling of

with Us contents and, with his follow

They nro easily planned and carried

Its crop was light. Wealth Is tho true

bought a generous supply of chestnuts
nnd sent them out to bo carefully scat

party arrived at tho nutting ground,

on the ground Iny tho remarkably gen

gathering them went merrily forward,
when, nil of a sudden, ono of tho older
members of the party, picked up a fall

Then sho glanced up at tho treo above

Have you got a cold? If not. you
nre fortunate, for nearly ever) one else
1'iiB one. Out of u. doon or more phy
sicians seen yesterday they all attrib
uted the colds from which nearl eveiy
oiio Is suffering to the sudden change
of weather. "Colds are to be expected
with a change of season." said a prom
inent physician, "and there Is nothing
alarming In their pi event prevalence.
Some people get the Idea that they
have the 'grip' the moment they con
tract a slight cold, but there Is a wide
difference between the two maladies.
A person suffering from the grip fools
as though every bone In his body Is
broken and that his head Is twice the
usual size. He hasn't to be told that
he has the grip, but goes to bed and
sends for n dot tor. while the man with
a cold, although feeling badly, Is able
to continue at hlrf business. October
Is a grent month for colds. The tem
perature Is so uncertain during this
mouth that many people do not take
proper precautions In the matter of
dress. Many who cannot afford to
change their raiment promptly with
the season nre thinly clad nnd readily
contract colds In consequence, while
those who aie able to make a prompt
change are geuerall.v ruleless, dressing
too hetlly one day and too llghtb the
ne.M. when the weather Is changeable.
Another reason for the prevalence of
coldt at this i.oas-oti is duo to the
change experienced by many who have
returned from the mountain or hoi
shore, while their habits of life and
the climate haw been dlffeient to
what they find In the city, and t lit)
Thus tho twenty-fifth man, who will

It was tho general concensus of onln
on among the physicians seen hnt
tho health outlook for Philadelphia for
the coming winter w.ih promising, and
tho provalenco of "grip," (0 n arise
want, was not anticipated by any of
them. Tho druggists report that tho
sales of ,ullo and untlpyrlno during
ho last few days has been unusually
nrge, which shows a disposition on
tho part of a largo number of thoso
differing to doctor themselves "The

Pearls .ue found in most tropical
waters. Tin. market, however. Is prin
cipally supplied from the gulfs of Cali
fornia ami Melro. the northern coast
of Australia, Cc. Ion, and the Mauds
of the P.uifie.
Though pearls aie found lit almost

are only protliued by the pearl oyster

me say tli.it piarl diving menim not
onlv llshlng for pearl', but also the
shells which contain them. The loin
ineiclal "M.-o.-P." shell Is In reality
tho breiid-.iiiil-butier of the dher. In
size they aie about as huge as an or
dinary illnner-plate. and their weight,
when cleaned. averages 2 pounds. When
sold In London market they bring from
1011 to i::o per (on. On the spot they
arc reckoned roughly at 2s a pair.
From Tories Straits, good peat ling
grounds extend far east and went.
Here (nnd It Is representative of near
ly all other fisheries) diving Is carried
on by means of liigger-ilgged boats,
ranging in size from five to twenty
tons. This stjlo of craft has proved to
bo most suitable, as they are easy to
handle and can be shifted quickly. They
nre built with n certain icgard for
speed, for the reason that the hotter
the sailing qualities of the boat, more
time the diver has for work below. The
boats are fitted with air-pumps, anil
carry a crew of five Malays and a
diver; tho latter being also tho cap
tain. There Is a scattering of Europeans
among the divers principally English
anil Germans; but Kanakas, Malays,
East Indians, Jnpanese, and Chlneso
make up the greater number.
Next to a good diver and apparatiifl,
a rellablo "tender" is tho most neces
sary adjunct to a pearling lugger's out
fit. Ho It is who holds the life or sig
nal lino, nnd looks after tho general
welfare of tho diver when below. Tho
"tender" Is tho second In command.
Ho must keep his weather eje "lift
ing" for squalls, the movements of
other boats, and should bo n wide

gency, and constantly alert.
On the pcaillng grounds, with the
first streaks of dawn, blue wi oaths of
smoke arise from every boat. The

content themselves with a cup of cof

sible to do good work under water with
a full stomach.
Tho diving dresH Is a waterproof
combination of coat, vest, trousers,
ami stockings, all In one. The only
Inlets or outlets nro the witlo collar
and tho wristlets. Dressed In a douhlo
set of heavy llannels (to absorb tho

and tho diver is ready to step over

Pearl diving Is carried on nt a depth
of sixty to 108 feet. At tho latter
depth a diver cannot remain under
rroro than ten minutes on nccoust of
tho pressure. In forty feet or fifty ftot
of water It Is possible to remain below
two hours without suffering much In

Diving, and paiilculnily pearl diving,
is an evcenlliigly dangerous ooeiiiu

gioiinds are of common occurrence. A
tller runs the risk of losing his life
by ripping or tearing his dress upon
sharp rocks or corals, through which
he must often pick IiIh way. Then,

ATTACKED BY AN OCTOPUS,
valve In order lo fill tho dross with air
and make inynelf lighter, and g;iw tho
customary signal to ascend. Tho life
line tautened, and I was soon lifted
from my feet and being drawn toward
tho lighter water aboo. The angry
frame of mind that usually attends the
dher at work gradually passed away
as 1 was raised to the surface, and I
was Just getting good-tempered nt the
thought of a mouthful of fresh air,
when I felt a sudden Jerk under my
left arm, and at the samo Instant my
progrem was stopped.
Ilefoio I realized what was tho mat
ter, the alr-plpo was torn from tho
check that hehl It under my arm, slip
lied over It. anil pulled my head down
ward: while tho hauling of tho "ten
der" above on tho llfe-llno round my
waist raised tho lower part of my
body and left mo suspended heeds up.
In the first few moments of my hiir-lul.'-e
and terror I did not stop to con
sider what had happened. My pres
ence of mind deserted mo, and I strug
gled and H'rcnincd like a madman.
After a little while, having kicked
myself into n otnto of exhaustion mid
common sense, I reasoned out the cause
of my dilemma. As tho strain of tho
alr-plpc was downward, and that of the
llfe-llno upward, I concluded that tho
plpo must ho fast below, and that tho
only thing to bo done was to go down
and clear It. First, I regulated tho
air In the dress, lotting out as much as
I could spare, for In my present posi
tion all the air went Into my legs, and
kept them floating otralght upwards,
and then I tried to make tho "boys"
understand that I wanted them to low
er mo.
All my shakes and Jerks on tho life
line, however, worn without avail. By
that time all bauds, except those pump
ing, had tailed on, and wero doing
their level best to pull mo In halves.
Fortunately, all my gear was In good
shape, or thoy might have accomplish
ed It. Finally, after hanging hoT,vlxt
the top and tho bottom about half nn
hour, my "tender" had sense enough
to signal for another diver, and I was
at last released and hauled up, more
deatl than alive. The cause of thin ac
cident wan simply that tho cnrelesa
holder of tho pipe, instead of keeping
It taut, had allowed It to drag on the
bottom until It fouled around the hnr
of a coral cup. Had tho tide not been
slack at tho time, tho weight of tho
boat, which was practically anchored
by the air-pipe, would havo torn tho
helmet from my shouldora anil tho re
sult would havo been different.

tho possibility of such a thine, nnd i

Another fish that Is unplcnsant to
meet Is that known ns tho stono-llah.
It Is small, being only a few Inohos In
length, but Its bito Is unisonous. An-
pnrently, It makcii Its homo under the
pearl shell for It Is only when picking
up u shell that a diver 1b bitten. After
a blto from this spiteful little member
of tho finny tribe, It Is wlso to remain
under wnter as long as possible. The
pressure, causing much bleeding nt Iho
