A Large Lolster. The biggest lobster ever caught off the Connecticut coast was brought to this city this morning by Captain Lord, of East Lyme. It was caught in his pond yesterday. The biggest lobster -ever known hereabouts up to this time weighed fourteen pounds. A leg of Captain Lord's monster is as big as a man's thumb and the "wrist" at the claw as big as a man's wrist. The lob ster is from two an:! one-half to three feet long, and its body is as big around as a good-sized pumkin, say two feet in circumference. Captain Lord will boil the big fellow and test its flesh, which may be too rank to eat. Ho will then have the shell stided and placed on exhibition at Flvnn', prob ably. The lobster is the same as any other lobster except in size. It may be age that has distended him, for he may have crept in from the great deep just for a lark, a sample of the giants further out. His pugnacity is not great, but on the trip he was carefn"'y kept in a strong box.-Hartford Post, There are female 1 VLom ie e eers.

The Dress That is Worn-Breathing Without Effort-Method o.f Si1 iallng-A Diverlq Renunieratlon, !T THE b~est way for any one to J 1acuire the diver's art is to put on a diving dress, go G down into the depths and learn the divlng business for himself. That's the way TI learned it, says Cap ti.in Anthori7 Williams it the New York World. I was origiually a wrecker-that is, I would purchase sunken ships, raise them and sell them. In the summer of 180P, ofA the Massachusetts coast, I was raising a sunken ship. The diver 'who wTas working for me seemed a very lazy, careless sort of fellow. I was paying him by the 4a. and at lengtb, when he came ui on one oclasion and reported -ery little progress in his zork; after having been under water for d long time, I tas angry 9.ad ex prsed myself strongly. He retoried with. "Try it yourself if you can do any heitter." "Al ri-ht," said I. "Let me have your Cling dress and I will try it my self." Ho thought I was only joking, but I was not. Thinking to see me back outs and that I would not dare to tentutc down below into Davy Jones's lolker, hd took bf his diving dress and I put it on. Now, a diving dress is really two dresses, one within the other, and b?otb of india-rubber. The stockings, pants ana shirt are all made together as one garment, which the diver enters at the neck, feet first, The hands are left barej the wristbands of the ribber shirt-sleeves tightly compressid the trrists. There is a copper breast-plate bearing upon its outer convex surface small screws, which aro adjusted through holes in the neck of tbe shirt, hic eans o nut fastened upon .Thi1c-, by meu 'nt,f the sews, is held so -irmly in place as to render the enire dress from the neck downward absolutely air and -drtight. Fitting with egnal closeness 'o thie breast-plato is the helnmet. It com 1letel' in- oses the head and is sup plied wd ithree glasses, one in front and one at each E,ide, to enable the div,- to look in any direction. The dit-, fcet are incao:d in a pair of very thick leather shocs, made to lace up 'the f:ont and supplied with heavy lea{Iaen soles to prevent him from turn ing feet uppermost in the water. When I had donned this dress I pLacej azrcss my shoulders ropes sus taining two leaden weights, one hang ing at my breast and the other at my back. Soaetiies in ver strong cur rents it is necessary to iam.a the weights which the diver cariies -x traordinarily heavy, ernl such was the case with those hanging~over my shoulders on the 9ccasion of my first dir-e, but greiatly to my surprise, thug the diving dressI wore weighed of itself nearly two hundred pounds. I did not feel the great burden I sus tamedc in wearing it any more than I did that of myordinary clothes when out of the water. It also seemed marvellons to me that though I wats ten o:- tweire fathoms under water my breathing was wholly devoid of effort as if I had been walk ing about on dry land. Perhaps some of my raaders may know that by means of an air-pump, worked by two men, the diver is supplied with air, wich~ passes into his helmet through a hose at its back. Near the yhtee of its entrance is a spring valve for its escape. This valve can be controlled by the diver, but he usually aets it be fre going into the~ water and seldom disturbs it afterward. The pressure of the air being greater than that of the water a surplns of the former radily escapes. IWhen the valve proves insufficient Ito unmt the escape OL a supernity of air the diver cau opeu in his breast plate a similar spring valve intended ou!y for such an emergency. He can also regulate the amonnt of air pumped t> him by signais upon the air-hose to the men engageu in pumping. One pull upon tho air-hose means "more air, "two pulls, "less air." The signals by meains of the air hose are generally used by all divers, bt each one of the fraternity has also his own private code of signals upon the life-line, which is always fastened to the diver's waisl and by which he idrawn u'p out of the water. These sinals each diver writes down very carefully and gives to the man in chrge of the life-line. By means of ese he can sed for tools, material, When a legthy communication is to be made the diver sends ujp for a slate and writes aill he wish-es to say. Iti js s easy to read and write un der water as 1t is out o f it, all objects beng greatly magnified. The only unpleasant sensation I ever experienced during my wvhoic career as a~ diver-even on the occasion of my first dive-was a drammning in the cr. This will sometimes destroy the hering if the diver remains too long under water. Four hours-two in the morning nd two in the attu1noon --comnpriso a day's work in the diving business, and if a diver always restricts himself to tis limit there is little or no dange2 o his becoming deaf, but if he goes much beyond it ho is almost sure to iju~'re his hearing. I once remained under water for nine hours and as a consequence comipletelylosi the usc o my left ear for a period of three monthe, 'luring which time I snfiered agony with eara.che. Eventually, however, my hearing became normal So far :1s remuneration is concerned (iving is a goodi profess:on.
