Maretos tells as that during his trav
els over Europe he met the "marvel of
aaarvels" at Padua. The marvel in
faestkm was a young Corsican who
was In the city for the purpose of pur
eeing his studies at the university.
Ifaretus. having heard that the young
atan was gifted with an extraordinary
anemory, desired to put the student to
the test.
The person who had Informed the
traveler concerning the wonderful re
tentireness of the young Corsican's
anemory declared that he was so gifted
In that faculty that he could repeat as
many as 36,000 words If read over to
him but once. Maretus and three dis
tinguished Venetians agreed to test the
accuracy of the statement A commit
tee visited the student of extraordinary
memory and found him willing to sub
aalt to the ordeal. Accordingly there
was read over to him an almost inter
aflnable list of words strung together
without any consecutive order and
without any meaning whatever.
The young man stood all the time
with his attention deeply fixed and his
eyes half closed. When the long string
of words had been read off he looked
ap cheerfully and repeated the whole of
.the uninteresting catalogue of words
without a single fault. Then to show
how carefully his wonderful memory
had retained every word he went
through the list backward. When that
task was finished he took each alter
nate word first, third, fifth, etc. and
repeated them until the company was
thoroughly convinced that they were in
toe .presence of the most wonderful
prodigy of memory that the world had
erer produced.

To watch a diver while he is dressing
or divesting himself of his professional
apparel Is not only to be taught a les
son In the art. of taking things easily,
but also impresses one with the fact
that the diver's Is the only occupation
under the sun In which- a tin can Is a
toilet requisite.
The can in question isnot an orna
mental object such as a silver backed
hairbrush Is or a set of manicure in
struments, but the diver's valet needs
It In his business as much as any fop
needs either of the silver Implements,
for It Is In this battered old tin that
the valet drops the thumbscrews that
keep the rubber cloth of the diving
suit confined in place between the
outer and inner plates of the cuirass
like shell the diver wears over his
shoulders and across his breast. There
they remain until the diver is ready to
dress again, when the valet carefully
picks them out of the tin and screws
them back In place.
The operation of dressing a diver re
quires two distinct movements, one
taking place on the deck of the vessel
or platform from which be is working,
the other at the head of the ladder on
which the diver descends to the depths
below. It-Is a business that requires a
good deal of time, for the diver's life
depends on jupt how carefully each of
the several things are done, and no
one sacrifices thoroughness to speed.
The diver always has a comfortable
place to sit on before he begins remov
ing his shoes, after which he draws on
a long pair of heavy woolen stockings
over the legs of trousers. Over these
again he pulls on another' pair of
trousers, and then he draws on the
lower part of his diving suit proper.
After that Is done he Is in the hands of
his valet who Is also the man who
tends the air pipe and signal rope after
the diver has descended to the bottom
of the sea.
One of Jhe curiosities of this opera
tion Is the Immobility of the man who
Is being dressed. He sits perfectly still
with his hands clasped between bis
knees, rarely speaking, his eyes fixed
on some distant point as though ho
were absorbed in considering somo
weighty problem.
Meanwhile the valet has been draw
ing the rubber suit up on the diver's
arms and part way up over his chest
and then be slips down over bis head
the steel cuirass that keeps the pres
sure of the water away from his chest
and also serves to support the weight
of the copper helmet on his shoulders.
At this point In the operation the tin
can comes Into use, and the valet takes
from it the brass thumbscrews that
confine the upper edges of the diving
suit between the cuirass and the four
steel bands that are fastened outside
of It Then the valet puts a black silk
skullcap on the diver's head, and the
diver waddles over to the head of the
ladder after a pair of heavy rubber
bands are slipped over the rubber cuffs
of the suit for the diver works with
bared hands.
Then come the final touches of the
costume, which are always made as
near the head of the ladder as possible,
for these operations consist of putting
on the weighted shoes, the weigbted
breast belt and the copper helmet. The
diver slips his feet Into the shoes of
cast Iron, and bis valet and another
helper buckle them around his instep.
Then he bends down, resting bis arms
on the head of the ladder, while the
belt on which are fastened great thick
squares of lead. Is buckled around his
breast and across his shoulders.
The signal cord Is fastened to the
breastplate with leather thongs, and
then the signal Is given to the man at
the air pump to "work lively," which
means that he Is to send the wheel
.around at a much faster pace than he
does when the diver Is at work, this
being done to get a good current of air
passing through the pipe. Least time
of all does it take to put the helmet
on, for It Is dropped into place, and
after one half turn the thing Is done.
Down goes the grotesque figure be
low the surface of the water, up from
the helmet comes a constant stream of
air bubbles, and If the diver Is not
working at too great a depth you can
presently hear the click of his toos
ringing away at work. New York
Press.
Aa Heal Bath.
An ideal combination is to soap the
body all over, using tepid water before
plunging Into a cold bath. But there
are many good folks who cannot face
a cold bath daily and who after taking
one are apt to be cold and shivering
all the day through. For these the best
plan is, after a warm bath, to sponge
the throat and chest with cold water,
which is most stimulating and espe
cially so where the bather suffers from
chronic colds. To insist on a cold bath
Is just as unwise as to have a bath
that Is too warm and to remain In It
too long. That Is the more general
mistake.

It has been calculated that about 1,008
hands are engaged In this Industry, 608
of whom are employed In extricating

Pumice Is brought to the surface In
large blocks or In baskets and Is car

there In boats. The supply Is said to be
practically Inexhaustible. Pumice Is
used not merely for scouring and

Mr. BIrrell's story about the little
ragamuffin In a church school stirred
a clerical correspondent to write a let
ter wherein he spoke of ragamuffins
as "boys who have more rags than
muffins." No doubt that was not meant
to be taken seriously from the etymolog
ical point of view. The muffin of the
word has puzzled many. "Ragamuf
fin," says Dr. Johnson, "is from 'rag.'
and I know not what else." According
to Dr. Brewer the word means a rag
ged "muff" or "muffin" (a spiritless
fellow). But the original Ragamoffy
seems to have been a demon In certain
old mystery plays, whose name was
probably just high sounding nonsense.
It Is curious, however, that "the rag
man" Is an old name for the devil.
