The Daring Divers of Thursday Island
Diving for shell, and incidentally for
the little treasure of pearl—it has been
estimated that one shell in a thousand
contains a pearl—is carried on in
deeper water off Thursday Island than
anywhere else. Other productive beds
lie comparatively shallow—the Persian
Gulf, the Sulu Seas, the Gulf of Ma-
paar. The greatest depth at which
a diver in helmet and dress can per-
form any sort of useful labor is held
to be one hundred and eighty-two feet.
At that depth a Spanish diver raised
9,000 pounds in silver bars from a
wreck off Finisterre. At one hundred
and fifty feet an English diver saved
50,000 from a wreck off Leuconna Reef
of the Chinese coast.
The maximum depth to which the
sponge-fishers of the Mediterranean
: successfully descend is one hundred
and fifty feet. In the Torres Strait,
with the depletion of the beds, the
divers have moved from the shallow
water of from four to six fathoms to
depths of one hundred and twenty feet,
where the operation is a distressful
and perilous one. A paternal law pro-

from any practical scheme of super-
vision, it is a law of small consequence
after all, and the perilously deep div-
_ ing goes on, no doubt, much as before,
bany as they have about finished :
with its occasional issue of sudden
death. Subjected to a hazardous de-
gree of atmospheric pressure—at one
hundred feet it is sixty pounds to the
square inch—the divers are attacked
by various characteristic disturbances,
peins in the muscles and joints for
example (“the bends”), and deafness,
spells of fainting, and, paralysis, other-
wise known as “diver's palsy.” The
effects appear when the diver ascends
too rapidly from deep water and the
pressure is removed. It is then that
the cases of sudden death occur—the
diver found dead in his helmet or ex-
piring on the deck when the helmet is
removed.

THE ADRENAL GLANDS,
In states of strong excitement due
to fear, anger, the lust of chase or
battle, there is an overwhelming sense
of power that sweeps in like a sudden |
tide and lifts a man to a new level of |
ability. Firemen, policemen, escaped
prisoners, wrecked sailors, soldiers |
and football players have borne testi- |
mony to the energizing influnce of the
emotions that enabled them to per |
form prodigies of strength.
A Harvard professor of physiology, |
Walter B. Cannon, after a lengthy |
study of these phenomena (assisted
by 10 collaborators) has written a
book entitled “Bodily Changes in Palin, |
Hunger, Fear and Rage” (Appleton), !
which is an important contribution to
the new science of medicine. He finds
the explanation of the energizing pow- |
er of the emotions in the actions of |
those small bodies lying interior to
each kidney—the abrenal glands. The
adrenals are glands of internal secre- |
iments show are caused by the liber
ation into the blood of increased quan-
tities of the secretion of the adrenals.
“Certain remarkable effects of in-
jection adrenin into the blood have for
many years been more or less recog-
nized,” says Dr. Cannon. “For exam-
ple, when injected it causes liberation
of sugar from the liver into the
blood stream. Some old experiments
indicate that it acts as an antidote
for fatigue * * * * and there is some
evidence that it renders more rapid
the coagulation of the blood.
“Sugar is the form in which carbo-
hydrate material is transported in or
ganisms; starch is the storage form.
In the bodies of animals that have
been well fed the liver contains an
abundance of glycogen, OT ‘animal
starch,’ which may be called upon in
time of need; at such time the glyco
gen is changed and set free in the
blood as sugar.”
An excess of sugar in an eliminating
fluid of the body, known as glycosuria,
is a prominent symptom of diabetes:
yet great exertion, high excitement,
pain, grief and anxiety will produce
pronounced glycosuria. This symp-
tom of a dangerous disease has been
found in football players immediately
after a game and even in spectators
of the game; but all trace of it had
disappeared the next day.
Dr. Cannon, in experiments on cats,
produced glycosuria through rage;
fear and pain. His experiments have
been verified by other investigatoys
and the positive connection has besa
established betwe
