That's ho. JIo has como up to take u little air. " These roinarka were passed as the driver , llormati Woltora , came bob bing up to the surface in the choppy nrators of the Dotawaro at the foot of Washington stroot. Last Soptpmbor the work was started of blowing up the old wharves at the Nnvy Yard and dornorlishinff those which rVoro for merly used by the Philadelphia , Wil mington and Baltimore Ilailroad Com pany. It is the intention of the Penn sylvania Company to construct piers of at least 100 foot in length , BO as to accommodate its steamers , because the docks at Christian street are too small , and the vessels find great difficulty in getting into them. The process of blowing up n pier is attended with considerable danger , not only to those employed in fho work but to property in the imme diate neighborhood. The laat pier which was sent into the air was that from which the freight cars nroro trans ported over to Now Jersey. In n driving rain , with the wind blowing a gale , the driver yesterday began his operations under the wharf. His euit consisted of a helmet woich- ing 30 pounds , a boll of 85 pounds , shoos that tipped the scales at 27 and a rubber garinon't that enveloped him from the nock to the toes. Thus equipped Walters looked more like devil or a thing ot evil than man. "Will you como dowo down with mo ? " ho said , as at the top of his hel met disappeared below the waior , call ing to the reporter. The work below consisted of digging a tunnel some fifteen foot in ! oagthand of the height of a man. The diver mnmined below for an hour or more , and only came to the top to borrow a dynamite car tridge , with which to blow out some obstreperous logs that ho could not move with his hands. After the cat- ridge was placed in the tunnel and sot off by a turn from the battery there was a ripple on the water and a largo log came floating up. The divers have learned that , , notwithstanding the qualitiosof dynamite it has not tl.o power of lifting that gunpowder has. Iho dynamite catridges merely cut into the wood and splinter it , and ara used for the purpose of breaking up hard substances which obstruct the pick and spado. It was nearly 10 o'clock when the first blast was sot off , and only a few hundred pounds of powder were used. Thuro was a spout of th'o waters , timbers flow around , and river twenty feet of solid mason work disappeared into the river for the dredgers to como along and gath er up. t By to-day the last of the wprk will bo finished and the diver's boat , with its many pounds of dyaumito and gun powder , will move off. When the wharves ore finished there will bo twenty-six feet of at low tide at each of thorn. The divers in this vicinity have been put to great straits because of the law regarding the storing of dyna mite.When The Record man wont iboard Walters' boat there were 150 pounds ot the explosive aboard. This : amo from Thompson's Point , in Now Jersey , where nov works have boon established , and was brought to the city by a private bdat. Formerly the compound was obtained in New York , but the laws enacted there were , so rigorous as to almost exclude its sale. Then the railroad companies refused to transport it , and the manufacturers were compelled to seek a place near the waterwhore they could send their product out on thuir own account. A person who follows diving must bo chary in his outing , especially when ! io is to go under wnton The g'reat trouble ' experienced by. the men in ; lio'-'business is a heavy feeling at the 3asa'of the brain after an hours work 3elow the surface. Should a man ea leavily he would not bo ablotoromain below for ten minutes. Mrs. Ira Mulholland , Albany , N.
