UNCANNY THINGS BEEN ST ▲
DIVER IN A GREAT LA KE.
Difference In the Waters of the Lakes
—Sunken Vessels—Recovering the
Bodies of the Drowned.
•'Foundering vessels on the lakes,
especially sailing vessels, frequently sink
so squarely," said a Toledo man who be
longs to the precarious and perilous pro
fession of lake diving, "that we find them
resting on the bottom as trim and neat as
«112 their keels were still plowing the sur
face. This is particularly the case in
Lake Huron, whose waters are unlike
those of any of the other lakes in the
greßt chain, although nil its water comes
from Lake Superior. What the scientific
explanation of the fact is I don't know,
but a diver can work on the bottom of
Lake Huron at a depth of at least twenty
feet greater than he can in Lake Superi
or, and much deeper than he can in any
of the other lakes. In Superior a diver
can't sec further than ten feet into the
water surrounding him, but in Huron he
can distinctly distinguish objects fifty
feet away. At a depth of 100 feet in
l<nke Superior a diver can only work an
hour at a time, the fceliug of oppression
becoming unbearably painful, but I have
worked five hours at a stretch in Lake
Huron 115 feet below the surface with
out suffering to any great extent from
the pressure of the water. A man
drowned in Lake Superior never appears
on the surface, while the dead lloat on
the waters of Lake Huron.
"It is a weird and startling sight to
come suddenly upon a full-rigged vessel
far down in the solemn depths of the
lake, standing erect on her keel as if she
were dashing away before the breeze on
the gleaming surface. It is uncanny and
ghostlike. There arc no waves down
there, but a mysterious swelling and
swaying of the waters that give a see
sawing, tossing motion to the spectre
craft, which is all the more spectral be
cause there is no creak of timber, no
sound cf straining ropes or grind ins; keel.
You may climb the rigging, walk the
deck, go down into the sunken cabin, as
readily and easily as if you were a sailor
and the vessel were suiling along with
only the sky above her, but you can't
help thinking constantly of death and
the tomb. There Is no sound down there
but the intermitting wail and moan, wail
and moan of the swaying waters, all
around and above you, and yet seeming
far away. I "would much rather find a
sunken wreck a wreck indeed. You
naturally expect to find a broken ruin on
the bottom of the lake, not the ghost of
a perfect ship. I can work and search
with better cheer among splintered beams
and shattered spars and broken keel,
where I have to pry and chop and batter
down to uncover the object of mv quest,
whether it is merchandise, treasure, or
human corpses, than I can on a suuken
craft that gives me free and easy access
to her sunken stores and watery sepul
chres.
"The only time that I evar undertook
to do a piece of work on the lake bottom
reluctantly, and was badly broken up by ■
the result of it, although I had antici- 1
pated and thought I was prepared for a '
startling sight, was the time I went down 1
twenty fathoms in Lake Erie to find the
bodies of a womau and her two children
who had gone down with a propeller.
The propeller sank in a heavy storm at
night, foundering suddenly as craft
usually do on Lake Erie, and the woman
and her children were in their stateroom.
The husband and father of the lost
family offered me a big price togo down
and recover the bodies, but the touching
appeals of the heart-broken man alone
induced me to undertake the work. I
found the vessel in easy shape for work
ing, and reached the door of the fatal
stateroom without difficulty. The door
was locked. The fact that I must break
it down before the imprisoned dead could
be released increased the dread that pos
sessed me, and I stood irresolute at the
awful threshold. If the money I was to
receive for the work had been my only
impelling motive, I would havo hurried
from the wreck that moment; but I
was haunted by the memory of that
stricken soul above, awaiting in agonized
suspense the poor consolation of seeing
his cold and lifeless loved ones, and I put
aside my foolish-fear and with a few
blows of my crowbar battered down the
stateroom door. I had pictured in my
mind how the three corpses would in all
probability look, floating with staring
eyes about the room, and I think if
I had come upon them in that
way I would have accepted the
contact with complacency. But the re
ality of their appearance was far differ
ent from the one I had imagined. The
vessel gave a hard lurch as I broke the
door loose, and the water rushed out of
the stateroom. With the rush came the
dead inmates of the room. The three
were in a group, and such a group 1 One
child, a golden-haired little thing of
three years old, the mother clasped to
her breast with one arm. The little one's
chee't was pressed against its mother's,
and its chubby arms were around her
neck. The second child, older than the
first, held its mother's other hand. They
were all in their night clothes, and the
mother floated from the room standing
upright, clasping her one child to her
breast and leading the other by the hand.
Her long yellow hair was loose, and
trailed far behind her in the water. Her
eyes were wide open, as I had pictured
them, but I had imagined no such depth
of horror in them as they expressed. Her
face was frightfully distorted, showing
the intense agony of her death. The
faces of both children were peaceful, and
the eyes of the one in its mother's armn
were closed as if in sleep. The sight was
more than I could stand, and I retreated
to another part of the wreck. It was a
long time before I could summon courage
enough to fasten a line to the dead
bodies and signal for them to be raised.
I sent them to the surface just as they had
died, and M I found them, and quit the
wreck myself as soon as the work was
done.
In spiuj of the fact that no lake diver
ever goes below without feeling that the
chance is by no means remote that he
has looked for the last time on the sky
and the earth and all he loves, there is a
fascination about the life that few men
hare ever been able voluntarily to resist
after becoming familiar -with it. This
seems the more singular because no di
ver, shut up in armor and held in the
depths by a hundred pounds or more of
weights, can ever banish the feeling that
a little stoppage of the air pump, a leak
in his hose, some slight carelessness on
the part of his tender in the boat above,
is sufficient to bring down upon him the
weight of a mighty mountain and crush
the life out of him in the twinkling of
an eye. There is always danger, too, of
the diver fouling his life line himself by
catching it on some projecting splinter
or around asharp-edgod timber, and in
his haste to release it precipitate the
catastrophe of which he stands the most
in dread. The fouling of a line fre
quently occurs, and never to me but what
I turn cold, in my effort to release it, at
the thought of what a slender thing
holds back the clutch of death down in
those moaning depths.
"Lake divers get big pay for their
work, but, as there are a good many in
the business and jobs sometimes far be
tween, they do well if they average more
than ordinary wages year by year. I
have made SIOOO in a month, but there
have been many months in succession
when I have not made a dollar. Full of
peril as the life of a diver is, it is safety
itself in comparison with the life of a
lake sailor. I'd rather work in a nitro
glycerine factory than sail before the
mast on the great lakes."—JV«u> York

Tlie Ordeal by Chewing Rice.
The East Indian method of discover
ing a thief by the ordeal of chewing
dry pounded rice has almost disappeared
of late. A case of its successful appli
cation many years ago, to discover who
had stolen a gold watch that was miss
ing, is described in Ckumbers't Journal.
A native official who was employed by
the government for detecting thieves by
the rice ordeal, was called into conduct
the process. The loser of the watch was
one of four Englishmen who occupied a
house together. All the servants of the
establishment, some forty odd in num
ber, were seated in two niws on the
ground in one of the long verandas of
the house. A small piece of green plan
tain-leaf was first placed in each man's
band. The thief detector then went
round with a bowl of pounded rice, like
flour, and with a wooden spoon poured
a quantity into the mouth of each ser
vant. The order was given that each
man was, within five minutes, to chew
the rice-flour to a pasty mass and eject it
onto his plantain-leaf, the most of the
men set to work with a will, though a
few were rather frightened at first; but
long before the five minutes had elapsed
almost every one had got through with
the operation and held the evidence of
his innocence in his hands. But why
are so many eyes turned toward one man,
who sits back as if anxious to avoid ob
servation? We also look, nnd thero is
the favorite servant of the loser of the
watch, with his face almost convulsed,
and trying in vain to get the rice flour
out of his mouth. His lips are dry, and
his glands refuse to produce the saliva
which is needed to moisten the rice
flour. At last the detector's eyes r}are
upon him, and pointing at him wi«6 his
long, bony finger, he says solemnly,
"There is the thief!" The victim quails
and grovels on the floor before him; he
faintly appeals to his master for forgive
ness, and promises that he will restote
the watch. The convicted thief slowly
rises, and requesting the master to fol
low him, goes to the well in the garden,
and produces the gold watch from under
a loose brick. This operation savors of
magic, but it has a psycho-phisiological
explanation. It is one of the instances
of the influenco of mind over body; the
anxiety of the culprit evidently arresting
the flow from the salivary glands.
The Human Arm as a Razor Strop.
Few persons know how excellent a
razor strop is the human hand or arm.
If a razor is in fairly good condition and
not in need of the oil stone it may soon
be whetted to a fine edge on the palm of
the hand or the inner side of the fore
arm. The latter is best if it is tree of
hair, as it frequently is for it presents a
whetting surface quite as long as the or
dinary razor strop. The fat portion of
the palm, between the little fingerand
the wrist, however, makes an excellent
strop. The process of stropping a razor
qn the forearm appears a bit alarming to
the look-on though there is little danger
t&iit a skilful man will do himself harm.

A RANCH IN THE CLOUDS
THB LOFTY HOKE OF AM ADVEN
TtTHOUS PIOinCEB.
Raisins Crops at an Altitude of 10
000 Feet in New Mexico—Titna
portation by Burros.
At the head water* of the north braicl
of the Rio Gallinas, eighteen or twmt;
miles above the Las Vegas Hot Sprugs
Mr. E. H. Harvey, a former Bator
merchant, several years ago located hi
ranch at an elevation the most ambiioui
perhaps of any farm on the contiunt
Coming to New Mexico originally foi
his health, Mr. Harvey, after
the conditions of the cattle and sfee]
business on the open plains, and thoq oi
agriculture in the lower valleys<-it
which an elaborate system of irrigation
is required—decided to make his h>m<
in the mountains. In a high vllej
near the massive precipitous mouitair
known as Hermit Rock he laid thesilli
of his cabin amid the evergreen andiop
lar trees, took up under the hometead
law a tract of Qovernment land, anc get
to work to improve it.
This ranch is peculiarly isolated, the
only other houses in a wide region aout
being one or two deserted prospecsrn'
cabins and the works of an abandaed
mica mine. Near the foot of the mont
ains the wagon trail leading fromtheet
tlcments comes to an end, and beynd
that point a bridle trail is the only ith
to the home of this adventurous pioecr
from Boston. Here, literally amonpthe
clouds, he has made tho wihlernes to
blossom as the rose. Part of his tiljt>le
and hay lands was open jjrassy pari at
the time of his coming, aud the remin
der he has cleared by cutting downind
burning the trees. The range of paaire
for his stock includes all accessible raz
ing spaces up and down the valley.
At this high altitude of 10,000 set,
only 800 feet below "timber line,'the
climate differs widely from that othe
plains. Through the summer, diing
times, it may be, when the plains bow
are parched with drought, there arefre
qucnt showers and often long contiied
rains in tho mountains, and after ear
nights the vegetation at sunrise is 'ip
ping with heavy dew. Undc • thesfa
vorable conditions no artificial irrigion
is required, and with the abumnt
moisture the grass grows thick nd
high, spangled with innumerable >w
ers of great beauty and variety, and fere
are found many specimens of tree mi
plant life usually associated witlfar
more northerly latitudes. The altido
of the ranch is too great for the sucss
ful raising of corn,but nearly every her
agricultural product of the Norern
States flourishes. Orain and vegetfles,
including potatoes.grow abund.inthnd
rapidly, are of fine quality, and tain
great size. Timothy grass four feetnd
oat stalks six feet high are not unm
mon specimens of the productive oa
city of this rauch.
The luxuriant growth of forage.nd
the circumstances attending the tns
portation of farm products to majet,
have tended to make the dairy the Hcf
feature of this upland ranch, Mr./ar
vey's herd of cows give a profitabli re
turn for his care and labor. The rift
current of a mountain rill turns a ver
wheel connected with the revolvingid
dledashcrs of a cylindrical chui in
which is made the butter that on jted
days goes on the backs of pack auals
to the market at Las Vegas.
There is but one way by which tons
port freight between the ranch amhe
town, by "packing," which is effectby
means of trains of burros (doult).
With the garden and dairy producto
be carriod to Las Vegas, or of"re
goods to take to his home, packein
hampers, the owner starts the proce*i
of pack animals in single file alonge
mountain path, and himself bringp
the rear on his sure-footed ponjj
quicken the pace of the stragglers }
watch that none of the burdenß t
awry. Bulky articles, at trunks, fu
ture, or farming implements, are lod
upon a frame like a litter, suspended
tween two burros placed tandem, ani
this fashion are carried by the stef
docile little animals over the winding
the mountain trails, up and down si
hill-sides, and across rushing torrenU
their destination.
The house is a rude but comfort*
structure, with a wide open fireplace,
which the fire of hickory wood or pit
pine crackles cheerfully in the wiu
time, and on summer evenings as w
for at these mountain heights the ni|
air is at all times cool, and oj
chilly. Rich milk, vegetables fresh i
crisp, the tenderest and juiciest
beef and mutton—all raised upon
place—arc features of the r»nch fare i
with the hunger that the mountain
imparts, the appetizing effect of the
past is enhanced by its plain and hom
service. The larder is helped
accordingly, as the season and hunt
luck may favor, by venison, bear mi
wild turkey, mountain grouse and qv
and by the delicious black-spotted ti
of the Rio Gallinas.
Owing to the limited range of pas
age, sheep-raising on the large s
practised ib the wider parks and pi
is impracticable, and in places like
Harvey's sheep and goats are usu
kept only in sufficient number to si
as a source of food supply for the ran
the moist, sweet, tender grass gives
flesh of these animals a peculiarly
quality, comparable to that of Engl
sheep on their native sod. The grass
good at all seasons, but becomes accea
ble only as the heavy snows of wini
recede on the mountain sides with t| .
approach of summer. In these
ranches in the uplands an interestiij
element of danger and uncertainty at
tends the raising and keeping of domesti
animals, from the necessity of guardin(
them against the ravages of wild beast*
Colts, calves and lambs are liable alwayt
to fall the victims of a prowling mount*
ain lion or a hungry bear; and when 4
predatory animal so formidable has onca
acquired the habit of depending upon
flocks and herds for his food supply, thei
only way to save the loss of much young
stock is to take tha aggressive, hunt him
down and kill him.— Harper't Weekly.

Don't undertake extra work to (rfve
pleasure when you know that you have
neither time nor strength for it, and that,
as a result, some ono will be sure to be

Don't forget, if you are a tall woman,
to have your work-table nnd ironing
board a few inches higher than they aro

prevent many a backache.
Don't neglect to have your name

THE RAVAGES OP THE BUFFALO-BUG.
It is found that few of tho usual pre
ventives are of any use against the at
tacks of this beetle, and for this reason
it is a difficult pest to eradicate. In some
places it has proved so destructive that
carpets have to be dispensed with, and
in their place rugs are used, as being
more conveniently examined.
Tallow or tallowed paper placed around
the edges of tho carpet, which are often
the parts first attacked, is said to bo ef
fectual. In many cases the carpets aro
cut, as if with a scissors, following tho
line of the seams in tho floor, and as a
remedy for this it has been recommended
that the scama be filled during tho win
to with cotton saturated with benzine.
Kerosene, naphtha or gasoline are offen
sive to the beetlo as well as benzine, but
benzine is perhaps the simplest and safest
preventive in use. Ie can be poured
from a tin caa having a very small spout,
it being necessary to use but little.
Before tacking down a carpet it should
be thoroughly examined, and if possible
steamed. If in spite of precautions a
carpet is found infested, a wet cloth can
t e spread down ulong the edges, and a
hot iron passed over it, the steam thus
generated not only killing the beetles
ind larvre, but destroying any eggs that
may have been laid. Clothing is some
times attacked as well as objects of
natural history—such as stuffed birds and
mammals.
It was believed that the beetle must
feed on some plant, for in a number of
cases it was captured out of doors, and it
was finally discovered feeding on the
pollen of the flowers of spirsas, the bee
tle living on the plant for a while and
then returning to the house to lay its
eggs. When this was proved, it was
iuggested that spiraeas should be planted
wound houses infested by the beetle; by
doing this the plants could be often ex
imined and the beetles destroyed.—Pop

Sardine Salad Use a cupful of
ohopped sardines, free from bones, to a
pint bowl of lettuce or sliced cucumbers;
teason with salt, pepper, a little mustard
and vinegar, and serve the salad as soon
as it is made, because the lettuce begins
to wilt directly it is dressed with salt and
vinearar.
Lyonnaise Potatoes— Slice coia-Douea
potatoes into neat rounds; cut a medium
sized onion into thin slices, aud put it
with a good tablespoonful of butter or
bacon dripping into the fryiug-pan; when
the onion is colored, add the potatoes,
about two cupfuls, and stir them about
until they are a light brown. Strew with
chopped parsley, and serve.
Cold Chicken Wings—The wings,
drumsticks, necks, livers, hearts, and
gizzards of a pair of chickens, with any
good portions remaining from the first
service, make an excellent dish for cold
use. The pieces are first to be boiled in
enough water to cover them,with a pala
table seasoning of salt and pepper, until
tender; then each piece is to be rolled in
cracker meal, dipped in beaten egg,
again rolled in cracker dust, and fried in
olenty of hot fat like doughnuts.
