PEARLER WELL EQUIPPED
With u Suit of India Rubber? 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.

THE DIVINING KOD.
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

TRANSMIT SIGHT APPARATUS.
Telautophote Will Bring Distant
Points to View.
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.

The light which appears at the
slots varied at each point tb- the

Kipling's Day Off.
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!
