TOILET.OF THE DIVER
OPERATION Of PUTTING ON AND
TAKING OFF HIS COSTUME.

uulcr the MM in which n tin can is »

jkTbo Ojieffmoti of dressime a diver re-
q&Tres two distinct movements, one
tnklnf place on the dock of the vessel
or platform from which be Is working,
the other at (be bead of the ladder on
which the diver descends to tl»e depths
below. It Is a business that requires a
good deal of time, for the diver's life
depends an Just bow carefully each of
the several things are done, and no
one sacrifices thoroughness to speed.
The diver always has a comfortable
place to alt on before be 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 lie pulls on another pair of
trousers, and then In* draws on the
lower part of his diving suit proper.
After that Is done be is in the hands of
his valet, who is also tbf man who
tends the air pipe and sign^ljg|»e after
the diver has descended to the bottom
of tbo sen.
One of tbs 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 be
were absorbed In considering some
weighty prohlcnv:
Meanwhile the valet has been draw
ing the rubber HUit up on tbo diver's
arms ami part way up over his chest,
mid then lie slips down over ids head
tbo steel culrar.s that keeps the pres
sure of Uie water away from his chest
and also serves to support the weight
of the copper helmet on his shoulders.
At tills i»oint in the operation the tin
can comes into # usc. and the valet takes
from It the brass thumbscrefes that
confine the upper edges ef the diving
stilt between the cuirass and the four
steel bands that an* fastened outside
of it. Then the valet puts a block silk
skullcap on the diver's bead, nod the
diver wmMles over to the head of the
ladder after a pair of heavy rubber
bands ana sliwed over the rubber cuffs
•of the suit, tor the diver works with
bared hands. i
Then come the final touches of the
costume,, which arc always mode as
near the head of the ladder as possible,
for these operations consist of putting
ou the. weighted shoes, tl»e weighted
breast licit and tho ebppor helmet. The
diver slips his feet into the shoes of
•cast Iron, and Ids raiet and another
helper buckle them around his instep.
Then lie U-nds down, resting Ids arms
ou the head of tin* ladder, while the
bejt, on which ..tv fastened great, thick
squares of lend. Is buckk>J around his
lifcnst npd ncriM* Ids shoulders.
Tho signal cord is fastened to the
breastplate with leather thongs, and
then th£ signal D given to tho man at
the nlr pump to “work lively.” which
means tint he Is to scud the wheel
around at n 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. I .east time
of all does It take to put the helmet
on, for It Is dropt>ed into place, and
. after one half turn the thing Is done.
Down goes the grotesque figure be
low the surface uf the water, up from
the helmet comes a constant stream of
air bobbles, and if the diver is not
working at too great a depth you can
presently hear the dick of his tools
ringing away at work. — New York
