Coppei Breastplates, and Leaden Weights He Descends to the Bottom of the Seu?Spends Prom Six to Eight Hours There. The Servllia pearl given by Julius Caesar to Brutus' mother was said to have been worth $ 175,000, says Lon don Tit-Bits. For a pearl an incb in diam-iter a Persian shah of tht seventeenth century is said to hav? paid $31'0,000. The pearl market is somewhat lower nowadays, but price* are still high enough to make diving profitable. The era of naked divers exposed to peril from sharks has passed away. Modern progress equips che pearler with a suit of india rubber, copper breastplate, with leaden weights buck and front; helmet, glass panelled and with telephonic attach ments; air pipes, life lines and a submarine searchlight. Thus equip ped the pearl diver may spend-six or eight hours at the bottom of the sea, whereas in olden times three minutes made a record. Although pearls are found in near ly all nioilusks and oven in univalves like the Australian haliotis, a kind ot barnacle, true pearls are produced only by tbe pearl oyster or motliei ot pearl .shell. The latter is really the diver's bread and butter. Th< shells are as big as dinner plates and weigh two pounds when cleaned They fetch from $500 to $750 a ton The ancient fisheries were cniefly in the Indian Ocean and Persian 'Gull but nowadays the best pearls com2 from Ceylon and from AustraliaL waters, especially Torres Straits. Pearl fishing in Ceylon is a govern ment monopoly, in March the tieei starts for the pearling grounds, each vessel with twenty or thirty divers and their assistants. But the head quarters of pearling are to be found in the desolate country extending from Exmouth Gulf to King Sound. In Western Australia. A glistening white coast line is this, whose monotony is broken only b3 mango fringed salt water creeks and scorching deserts of spinifex and saud. Long before inland gold was dreamed of roving natives fished these seas for pearls, and they paid many visits to Roebuck Bay and what is now the pearl town oi Broome. Chinese and Malays as well as tribes of native black fellows ara there to-day, but the old nude div ers, the reign of terror and piracy when a large haul was made?these and similar conditions have passed away, giving place to jleets and lug gers carrying modern diving outfits and representatives of* the inevitable capitalist in the person of the master pearlers. Here are six hundred miles of coast line, with perhaps five thousand hardy adventurers engag ed in the pearl trade. There are some thousands of Jap anese, Manilamen, Malays and men of other races acting chiefly as crews for the vessels. The vessels are schooner rigged and from seven to lountten tons burden. Each carries a master diver and a crew of four, one of whom is the diver's assistant and works the air pumps. Another holds the life line and pays attention to signals; another is catching fish or peeling potatoes for dinner, and it may be a third has gone off in the dingey for fresh water and fire-wood. The shells are found on ledges about ninety feet down in the se?, but they are far more plentiful at greater depth. Foitune awaits the inventor of a diving apparatus which will enable tbe pearler to work in comfort one hundred fathoms down. The lugger has a low freeboard to allow the diver with his heavy dresa and gear to be easily hauled on board. ' He carries a net holding the shells with him, and when this is full he has it hauled up so that h'l himself may run no risk of entang ling life line or air pipe. When the pearler works at, say, twenty fathoms he moves easily, not withstanding his forty-pound boots, am>'d groves of coral trees, interlac ed with fluttering, fern-liko plants, among whose branches swim gorge ous tropical fish and sinister water snakes, which seem to resent the in trusion of so strange a monster. A good day's work .is anything more than two hundred pairs of shells. The business is absolutely speculative. One diver may gather ton after ton of shells without se curing anything of greater value than a few seed pearls, while an other may take a fortune out in a day's gathering. The most famous pearl discover ed in Australia of late years is known as the Southern Cross. It consists of a cluster of nine pearls in tiid shape of a cross. This freak of na ture was picked up at low water on the Laclpede Island by a beachcomb er mmr-d Clark. v.'ho. after buryin-' il for some time for superstitious reasons, sold it for $50; later, it brought $00.000. The pearl diver of to-day, protect ed as he is by every device known to modern submarine engineering, is exposed to mauy perils. He may lose his life by the tearing of his dress upon the sharp coral rocks. Serious Results Feared.

No Mysterious Virtues hidden li? tho Dowser's Wand. In experimenting with a divining rod as u3cd for discovering under ground supplies of water one of the geologists of the United States Geo lo ical Survey found that at points it turned downward independently of his will, but more complete tests showed that the downward turning resulted from slight and?until watched for?unconscious changes in the inclination of his body, the ef fects of which were communicated through the arms and wrist to the red. No movement of the rod from causes outside the body could be de tected, and it soon became obvious that the view held by other men of sc:en?e is correct?that the opera i tion of the "divining rod" is general ly due to unconscious movements of th<j body or of the muscles of the hand The experiments made show ti at these movements happen most frequently at places where the opera tor's experience has led him to be lieve that water may be found. The uselessncss of the divining rod is indicated by the facts that the rod nay bo worked at will by the opera tor, that he fails to detect strong currents of water running in tunnels and other channels that afford no sur face dd?<-ations of water, and that his locations v., limestone regions where water hows in weH defined channels are rarely more sucessful than those dependent on mere guesses. In fact its operators are successful only in regiors ir. which -round water occurs In a definite sheet in porous material, or Ir more or less clayey deposits, such as the pebbly clay or till, in which, although a few failures occur, we'll, would get water anywhere. Ground water occurs under certain definite conditions, and as In humid regions, a stream may be predicted wherever a valley is known, so one familiar with rocks and ground water conditions may predict places where gromid water can be found. No ap pliance either electrical or mechani cal, has yet heen successfully used tor detecting water in places where p'ain common sense or good guessing . ould not have shown its presence just as well. The only advantage of employing a "water witch," as the operator of the divining rod Is some times called, Is that skilled services are obtained, most men so employed being keener and better observers of the occurrence and movements of ground water than the average per son. Scientific American. Symbol of the Marble Gallows. You will read in "The Cloister and the Hearth" of the gallows of white marble and fine workmanship that stood over against the dukes palace !n Venice. It was there as an ever present warning to the people's chief servant that If he was faithless to his .rust he would be hanged. We are pleased to consider that later period of the middle ages as rude and simple. In its familiarity with all forms of coldly administered loath it would justify this u,nthought ful estimate. Vet even in that sinis ter marble admonition of vengeance 'hero is a certain symbol of good aith. of high ideals of public service, ;hat shows strong in any civilization. With all our justly cherished pro grc-ii we might wish for as fine a sense of honor in our public steward ships. Let us claim at once that the basis on which our public service rests is far better than it was In even the Italian civic republics. There Is not the caste of birth; there is not now the fatalistic classification of rank, at least politically?and while there was in the period of the Renaissance a reward for culture, learning, and arts and craftsmanship, salll, today, we have a fairer field which many more can enter. But when that claim Is made and allowed there was a cer tain something in the old noblesse oblige which has not yet permeated democracy as it can and must some day pervade it. A burgomaster In a free Dutch or German city, duke or magistrate In an oligarchical Italian republic, even a feudal lord in any country, exempli fied a respect for the obligations im posed by his position that our experi ence ha:, shown us is not so prevalent now. Let us acknowledge that much In a system of government, a frame work of society, which is happily left behind. . Let us admire the civic vir tue of those Venetians who "let no man. not even their sovevreign, be a'oove the common weal." And let use realize that, even in the great ad vanc* in the social and political order we have made since that fifteenth century of "The Cloister and the Hearth" there is still lacking the re spect for the place of trust, the/fine reve-ence for the common weal which eventually will be the perfect flow ers of popular government.?Kansas City Star.

Incredulous minds will probably be exercised over an announcement ol the invention of an instrument, known as the telautophote, which is apparently designed to bring all re mote parts of the earth into closer touch i by rendering distant and per haps now lnvis.ble objects to view. The new mechanism, by electrical aid, it is said, would erable a New Yor'-er telephoning his wife in Chi cago, to return home to study her expressions during the conversation. It would make a San Francisco prize fight or a Denver convention some day as visible from the Flatlron Building as a Fifth Avenue stage. . '? present, however, the telauto" phote will serve only as an attach ment to the telephone, and its inven tor. Mr. Sidney Rothschild, of No. 477 Eighth Avenue, New York, states that in this connection it will give complete satisfaction. After two years of arduous work, spending hours every night at work on his invention, Mr. Rothschild, who is but twenty-six years old. proved his .nvention a theoretical success. He sent it to Washington, where it was approved and patented, and he Is now working with models, to dem onstrate the practicability of the de vice. While Dr. Art: ur Korn, of M?n chen, succeeded by the transmission of a photographic record, in convey ing a distant likeness to view, it was not an instantaneous process like th,tt of the telautophote. Ir. Rothschild claims that his tel ephone* method of transmission is much simpler than the negative post ing method employed by Dr. Korn. it is founded upon the well known truth that when selenium is struck by fight its electoral resistance changes In relation to the amount of light which shines upon it. The instruments employed in the sending ana receipt of the electrical Influence are of wonderfully simple workmanship. The transmitting consists of a selenium coated cell, upon which any Image may be fo.mssed by a camera lcr.s through a transverse slot In a travelling steel belt. The belt moves perpendicularly acrosa the face of the cell, which Is made up of alternate copper and mica plates, In sulated from each other, but con nected along the edges at one side by a selenium coating. The Inten sity of the light reflected upon the cell will vary as the slot, travelling across the cell, exposes the coating to the lights apd shades of the im age. The main cell is controlled by what Is callec'. a light control selenium cell, moving in proportion so much faster t.^an the main cell that every point on the surface of the main cell is covered. The controlling cell thus transforms every point of light into an electrical impulse and sends it by wire to a distant receiving sta tion. At the receiving itation is a belt, with perpendicular slots, rotating so that a pulley with horizontal slots passing it causes points of light to appear as one slot meets another. The Ugh* comes from a vacuum tube with in the belt, and It varies in accord the intensity of the electrical current from the sending station. Botu receiving and sending apparatus wsr synchronously by regulated mo tors. The light which appears at the slots varied at each point tb- the 3 ok' degree with the light at tbe transmitting btatlon, throws the fig ure seen at the transmitting station through a lens upon a ground glass screen. As the phenomouou of continuation of vis ion occurs In the moving picture, the varying figures on the screen, which appear as lighted by a single flash, present every movement of the ob ject discerned.

Literary enthusiasts are somewhat likely to forget that authors are not always like their works?at least, in appearance?and in this connec tion an amusing story is told of a young lady who had for years been an ardent admirer of the "Jungle Books," and "Plain Talk from the liillB." Por long she had been eager to see t!s? idol in the flesh, and one day, to her great joy, she was introduced. But when she met Mr. Kipling face to face, the young lady's countenance fell somovhat, for she realized that he was not, after all, the exact coun terpart of the Apollo she had pic tured him. "Are you Rudyard Kipling?" she cried, staring at the author in dis may. Mr. Kipling naturally felt some wlrit embarrassed, and murmured "Yes." meekly. 'But 1 thought," explained tha lady, who could not cover her disap pointment. "I thought?I thought you were quite different!" "I am?oh, I am, madam!'' Mr. Kipling hastened to assure her in confidential tones. "I- am indeed! Only, you see, this is my day off!"? Answers. Hurley Cured Ueri-Herl.
