I This depth was relied by the Spanish' diver. Angel firostarbe, wiho recovered $4.1,000 111 silver ingots from the wreck of th" steamship Skyro off Cape Finisterre. Tlie sponge divers of the Mediterranean work at a maximum of 150 feet and the Australian pearlers at 120 feet. ' HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1915. The greatest depths reached by div-| ers without apparatus are used by the) pearl Ushers of Torres, most/ly Malay ans from the smaller islands. They go' down with the aid of a stone and a] loop in the rope thereto . attached, which they clutch with their toes, these! | organs being far more prehensile than I in races normally shod. They seldom j venture to descend below fifty feet, a ' depth ».t which they cun remain for .1 two minutes. The stone enables them , to remain at the bottom while they are II sweeping the pearl oysters in#o a bas- ket attached to the stone. When the ' diver feels that he must come up to I breathe he releases his toes from the i becket in the rope and at once floats i to the surface. i Young and healthy Malayan divers i working ovster beds below six fathoms make four descents an hour during four hours in the morning and the same dur ing four hours in the afternoon follow-1 ing a four-hour rest. A civilized man | at a depth of forty-two feet finds such! a dive intolerable after a single minute. —New York Sun. I j "I can give you a cold bite," sai the woman. "Why not warm it up?" asked tl tramp. "There ain't any wood sawed." I "Ho,' Well, give it to me cold. "- I New York Sun. 5
