Mysteries of the Deep.
When the diver la Initiated Into the mys
teries of the deep ha Is extremely cau
tious. Then be appreciates far more than
after he has become accustomed to his
strange surroundings the perils of his new
life. Am soon as he has donned his armor,
whose very hldeousness would seem to In
dicate the terrors lurking Jn that unnatural
element Into which he ventures, and has
sunk beneath the surface every sense be
gins to act In a weirdly distorted fashion.
He thinks he sees objects within reaoh,
which In reality are tar remote. He claps
his hands with difficulty and hears no
sound, yet a knock on the side of a ship
with his knuckles gives the ring of a belL
His body has an unusual lightness, so that
a little leap will carry him over vast spaces.
His sense of smell has been annihilated.
The air which puffs Intghis helmet and
then, leaking out through the escape valve
back of one ear, bubbles up to the surface
aa If out of the snout of a porpoise, at first
had the aoent of machine oil. In a few
minutes It becomes utterly odorless.
When the father of Robert Louis Steven
son was building the breakwater at wick
the future author, then only a lad, saw a
diver at work and was overoome with a
curiosity to learn bow the under world of
water looked. Bo, without more ado than
asking ths "armored man" to let him go
along, the boy became a diver, too.
"It was gray, harsh, easterly weather,"
he wrote la describing bis experience after
ward. "The sweU ran pretty high, and out
In the open there were 'skippers' daugh
ters,' when I found myself at last on the
diver's platform, twenty pounds of lead
upon each foot, and my whole person swol
len with ply on ply of woolen undercloth
ing. One moment the salt wind was whist
ling around my night-capped head; the
nest I was crushed almost doubls under
tbe weight of the helmet. Ths attendants
began to turn the hurdy-gurdy, and the air
to whistle through the tube. Someone
screwed in the barred window of the visor,
and I was cut off in a moment from my
fellow men, standing there In their midst,
but quite divorced from intercourse; a
creature deaf and dumb, pathetically look
ing forth upon them from a climate of his
own. But time was scarce given me to re
alise my Isolation. The weights were bung
upon my back and breast, the signal rope
was thrust Into my unresisting hand; acd,
setting a twenty-pound foot upon too lad
der. I began ponderously to desoend.
"Twenty rounds below the platform twi
light fell and I found myself In a low, green
heaven, mottled with vanishing bells of
while. , Sxospt for the weedy spokes and
shafts of the ladder, there was nothing but
a greea gloom, somewhat opaque, but very
restful and delicious."
He speaks of meeting his follow diver
"Bob" Bain, and adds:
"There we were, hand to hand and (whoa
It pleased us) eye to eye; yet either might
have burst himself with shouting and not
a whisper come to his companion's hear
ing. Kaon ta bis own little world of air
stood inooni m unlcably apart.
"I gave a little Impulse from my toes. Up
I soared like a bird, my companion soaring
at my si da Higher and higher I pursued
my impotent and empty flight. Even when

shoulder my heels continued their asoent,

Divers of Today.
As ths wolf differs from the St. Bernard,
so ths diver of the old times contrasts
with the professional diver of today. The
former was a sort Of scavenger of the
deep. .The latter Is a servant of man
kind. In the days when Spanish treasure
ships sank along the American coasts.
there was many a thrilling story of divers
who went down even unaided by airtight
costumes and discovered fortunes of sub
merged gold. With the Introduction of
diving suits at the end of the eighteenth
oentury, many adventurers dared to make
still deeper conquests of the sea, and a
few won sudden and enormous wealth. Of
such ths poet sang:
In the caverns of ths ocean cold

Ah, fearful such sights to the diver must
be,
Walking alone In the depths of the sea.
In Whttstable, a maritime' town of Eng
land, six miles from Canterbury, there
still stands a street full of houses called
"Dollar Row." A Whttstable citlsen by
the name of Oann chanced to visit Gal
way. and bearing that one of the vessels
of the Spanish Armada bad been sunk In
the harbor, with great chests of Spanish
doubloons aboard, he hired a diving cos
tume and searched ths bottom of the bay
for three long weeks. At last he found
the treasure, lust as tradition bad de
scribed It, end returning to hie native
town, be built "Dollar Row."
There are still burled treasure ships
whose exaot situations are not known te
mariners, but which are Inaccessible be
cause of their great depth. Divers
equipped with the present brass and rub
men earn, nevertheless they ere less regu
ber uniforms cannot go deeper than 200
feet, and even at this depth only a few
can remain more than five minutes. One
hundred and twenty feet la ths limit for
moat miners of ths sea, for at this depth
they are under a pressure of four atmos
pheres. Treasure at the) BwttpaSj
Within only a day'a sail from New York
City sailors say that til. 000,000 in gold and
stiver Is submerged. One may take a boat
at Bergen Beach and row out to where It
is directly over a ship containing a treas
ure worth MO.WO. Rich with gold from
Cuba, the schooner Hargrave lies off Barne
gat. Even In tbe belt which encircles the
skeleton of the schooner's captain 50,000
worth of Jewels are said to be hidden. Near
Turks Island, which la situated north of
Hayti, rests a ship containing a $500,000
fortune, which was a companion to another
vessel sunk la shallower water near by In
which American divers suoceeded In digging
up tl.t00.000. On tbe north ooast of Ven
ezuela, not far from Curaana, ths Spanish
flagship Saa Pedro still wallows In tbe oose
with 111 000,000 aboard In coin, plate and
jewels. Off the Cuban coast a United States
steamer with 12,000.000 ox California gold
has defied every diver who has attempted
to reach It. Tbe Zuyder Zee of Holland has
come to be known as the graveyard of
shlpe. Among Its many wrecks Is ths still
untouched French man-of-war which sunk
with a treasure estimated at 17.000,000. .
Tor the reason that man can venture only
a few feet down Into the sea, the diver of
tbeee practical modern times has abandoned
his hunt for treasure, and has become a
skillful laborer at 16 a day. Though bis
wages are larger thaa many kinds of work
lar; and the diver who earns tiao a month
la regarded lucky. He le indeed fortunate

He must memorise the following table and
see that the gauge of the air pump tallies

A diver may be killed or his life short
ened many years if the air Is not given
him at the right pressure. On the surface
of the water the atmosphere presses
against all parts of his body about fifteen
pounds to the square inch. Tet the pres
sure is aa much from within outward as
In the opposite direction, and so neutralises
itself. As soon as the diver descends Into
water the pressure of air against his flesh
muet be Increased Just enough to prevent
the ponderous brass helmet In which his
head Is Incased from crushing his shoul
ders.
A peri! which constantly mensoes the
diver Is the breaking of his air pipe. Wher
ever he goes he watches lest hs out It on
some sharp projection. The moment that
It snaps, ths air pressure within his suit
is gone and the dead weight of all those
feet of water pounds his helmet with the
force of a triphammer. As his body Is
charged with air at a high pressure this
air rushes outward, thus distending such
elastic organs as the eyes and eardrums te
bursting.
At depths less than sixty feet the ordi
nary diver can work hour after hour.
but below that limit he must take fre
quent rests. Four hours constitute a day'a
work' at all depths. Thus, at seventy feet
he works three-quarters of an hour and
rests fifteen minutes. At eighty feet he
works forty and rests twenty minutes.
Thus the ratio continues until at 110 feet
few divers can work mors than ten min
utes. When a diver has stayed down
too long, be does not suffer while sttll In
ths water, but after coming to ths surface.
After a protracted immersion his organs do
not react aa quickly to the lighter pressure,
and the swellings from air pushing out
through the tissues do not subside as
rapidly. Divers say that even If Hoar had
been taken out at the end of one day, when
a comrade diver found him alive, bs would
have afterward died from shock.
"Soldier! agr" oa tke Job.
Because of tba Isolated character of his
work a few become divers with ths Idea
that It affords a chance to loaf. At first
the laay man may fool his employer com
pletely. He Is completely hidden from
sight, and If he chooses he may sit down in
the mud, lean his ponderous helmet against
the aids of the wreck and take a nap. In
the meantime the pump handlers work
away and tbe tender watches steadfastly
for a signal, thinking all the time that
their submerged oompanlon Is tolling la
boriously! After his nap the diver may
come up and announce that the Job Is
especially bard and he must needs go down
again. Ns ens can oontradlot him. No one
knows but himself. In order to prevent
loafing most employers of divers havs
introduoed eleotrlo telephones by which
they can communicate with a man any
time they choose.
"But even a telephone will not tease
some ef them," said ens master diver.
"I bad a man one time who I thought waa
Iwaflng. and I made htra wear a suit with
a telephone. Even then I suspected him
f napping. I would have to cxll several
times before getting him sometimes. Bo
at last I gave him a Job that I had already
examined and knew would take him no
