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,

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. DIivers
generally wo1k by the job, and when
ther do they some!imes make it pay
very wel. 'A diver will go down. look
at a sunken vessel and then state what
e will charge to raire her. . I raised
the schooner D'auntless in twvo ass
and receIvea S750~ for my time andJ

The immediate cause of the smash was m.
opening decline in the Liverpool market c
10 @ 11 1-64 d. The decline as a wh0i
however. has been occasioned by the repor
ld collapse of the bull campaign, weh 1
beeli ehgineered from New Orlear' for
eral months past.
The New Orleans bull cliqup was last week
Sreported to bo liquidating its holdirgs ri
ctton. and this quickened lhe decline in thi'
market.
Business was very heavy Monday inornin.,
and fluctuations very violent. Within thirty
seconds the market moved ive points. J.All
uary. which had opened at 8.54, rallied t
8.65 and then weake.ed again. with quick
rally and recovered during the Ilrt hour.
Siles on the opening eall were on an enor

In the early afternoon January cottt
touched 8.2 * This was a decline of 117

.5 85 a bale. In the early afternoon. how
ever conservative traders were counselling
that there should be a reaction or serious
results might follow..
Up to 1 o'clock the sales on I be New York

The tremendous break in cotton and tio

cotton exchange were the talk cf ih stre:-.
Stodk operators left their favorite speculative
commoditles to discuss cotton and its down
ward careef.
One of the best known cotton brokprs in
tle city, when asked to give an opinon on
the market, said hurriedly: --The break hail
I to come and was looked for. but it was not
expected all at once. The truth is that the
reaction in cotton is taking pla'e mn days ir.

When prices reached what appeared to be~
the bottom. John 8. Inmta. who cold 25.000
bales of January at 9.87 inst week. became

People who had paid no attention to
Ibicycling matters will be surpri'sei to
learn of the records for speel and en
durance which have lately been made
on the modern whetl. A recent road
rcrd1 is that of Holbeiu, who, cn
July 7th, covered 297 miles in toonty
four hours on roads between L.ondon
and Peterborough. A track re::ormi is
that which wvas made in a t wenty-four
hour bicycle race at Patnecy, Eogland,
on June 22 on! 23. In this trial of
endrance and spcee.l A. C. F,autaine
made 474 miles .123 yards ia twventy
four hours. But the greatest achieve
met in the way of endurance is that
which was ade some weeks a:go by a
Prenhman named Haret. lHe cov
ered .515 miles in twenty-four~ hoars
upon a track. Leaving the g utstion
of endurainee an:1 coming down to the
question o f speed, it will be interest -

speed of bicyclists with thu speed of
horses to note this table:

His Stomach Collapsed.
Colonel Beniamin F. Norton, well
known in Chicago politics, who is at
the ho:e of his daughter in New York,
has rallied from one of th most re
markable onerations known -in sur
ezy. Colonel Nortov. when he came
here, began to have intense pains in
his stomach. A stricture formed in
the gullet and communication between
his mouth and stomaeh beeme im
possible. Despite the best medical
skill be was slowly starving to death.
Phvsicians were called in. An opera
tion was decided upon. It was per
formed July 27. A hole was cut in.
I his stomach about two inches above,
the navel, large enough for a hand to,
be inserted. It was found that the
walls of the stomach had coliapsed,
and lay flat against the spine. Dr.
Weir pinned the forward wall to the
intestines with two V.ld pins, cac
fourInahesin lengtb. ~The stomac
was stitched to the intestines on
August 1, and the pins were with
drawn. Then a silver tube was in
serted in the wound, a piece of rubber
tubing attached to it, and through
this canal food was forced into; tha
stomach. A daily wash of nitrate of.
silver curcd the ulcers. A sounder,
consisting of a jet bulb on the end of
a whalebone rod, was inserted once a
week. This operation will have to ba
kept up for a year or more to keep
the passage from growir together
