I was told to hold my nose and Mow through It, and 1 did so. Hlowly we descended mid at last reached the bot tom, sonic fifty feet below the surface. The hell In question was seventeen feet long and ten feet wide. There were six of us In It. It was lighted by elec trlcity and was almost as bright as day. We first landed on a bed which the divers had previously leveled. The moment the bell touched the ground there wits perhaps about two feet of water In It. This was quickly driven out by the compressed air, when we wnlked on comparatively dry ground with the sea all around us. "Hy sending signals up to the ninti In charge of the great crane to which the bell is attached the apparatus can be moved as Its occupants wish. Aft er inspecting the smooth bed on which the bottom blocks are laid we went out to sea and, landing ou the bottom again, obtained some Idea of the dllli cutties of digging a foundation on the floor of the ocean. It was ragged and rocky. Four men work In a bell tin dor a pressure of twenty-seven pounds to the square Inch for throe hours at a time, digging up the ground until It Is perfectly smooth and level. The nut terlul Is thrown Into a large wooden box swung In the center of the bell. "(limbing to our seats-again, the man gave Hie necessary signals, and nw.iy we vent, all under water, of course, until we landed once more upon the stones Just placed In position. The electric: lights In the bell are placed close to the thick little glass windows. When we stayed on the bottom quietly for a little while the fish darted at the light, but at the noise of a shovel they quickly disappeared." BITS FROM THE WRITERS.

Success If and see us about it HENRI MURGER'S COATS. it U Hard to Snr In Which lie Wan the More Mtnerulile. A pleasant Incident of the penurious 'luys of Henri Murger, the author of th famous "Vie de Holieme," Is related by a French writer. Murger when In 'lie extreme of poverty was one day Invited to a party at the house of a publisher at which It was of great im portance that ho should be present Vnfortunately he possessed only one suit of clothen, which was In the last ctnge of slmblihiess. He therefore np nealed to a friend who ilorled In the nossesslon of two black routs one old, the other new to lend Mm one. Tho friend, not overwllllngly. lent him the old one. It was too sma;i for him and very shiny at the seams, but by a lib eral use of Ink he managed to make it pass muster and attended the party. Unfortunately tho friend was there, too, and In great anxiety over his coat followed Murger about the room with such remarks as "Don't stand so up right. You will split my coat," or "For heaven's sake, mind what you are do ing with that coffee. You are splash ing It all clown the front of my coat." Shortly afterward a similar occasion arrived. Murger determined that noth ing should make him apply for tho snino coat. Accordingly he went to an other friend and related the whole cir cumstance. This friend willingly lent him n new black coat which fitted ad mirably, lint matters wore not Im proved ufter all, for tho lender was at tho party and followed Murger every where, exclaiming In tones of nudlble good nature: "Do Just what you like with my coat, old man. Tear It right up the back or cover It with grease Just as you like. I shall never say a word. Only too delighted to lend it to you." A WONDERFUL MONSTER. DeNertittlon of n 9tew TTnttleHlilp In the Seventeenth Century. Is It true that our ram battleships are but old Inventions in new forms? It looks like It. Some one has unearthed a curious announcement which ap peared In the Mercurlus I'olltlcus for Dec. 0, l(i.r)3, to tho effect, as stated by the Dundee Advertiser, that "the fa mous monster called a ship built at Rotterdam by a French engineer Is now launched." In a description of the vessel Its capabilities arc thus detulled: "(1) To sail by means of certain In struments and wheels (without masts and sails) as swift as the moon or at least thirty miles every hour. (2) Both ends are made alike, and the ship can be stopped at pleasure and turned as easily as a bird can turn. (3) In time of war It can with one bounce make a hole under water in the greatest man- of-war as big as a table and In an hour's time will be a Mo to sink fifteen or sixteen Bhlps and In three or four hours will destroy a whole fleet. (4) She will be able to go to the East Indies and back again In eight or nine weeks. (,") she may bo used to kill whales In Greenland, so that a hun dred ships may be laden In fourteen days. (0) She may be used to break down nny pier or wooden work with great ease." A wonderful "monster" this must have been. What, one Is curious to know, was her fate? Ulnar Out Your Snnnhlne. What a satisfaction It is to go through life radiating sunshine and hope Instead of despair, encourage ment Instead of discouragement, and to fel conscious that even the news boy or the bootblack, the car conduct or, the office boy, the elevator boy or anybody else with whom one comes In contact gets a little dash of sunshine! It costs nothing when you buy a paper of a boy, or got your shoes shlned, or pass Into an elevator, or give your fare to a conductor, to give a smile with it, to make these people feel that you have a warm heart and good will. Such sal utations will mean more to us than many of the so called great things. It is the small change of life. Give it out freely. The more you give the richer you will grow. Orison, Swett Marden In Success Magazine. Ralph Waldo Emervon'a Stove. Ralph Waldo Emerson was a man of rare integrity and very particular about small things. One day a new conklnu stove had been provided for his house, ana, ainiougn tue stove came verj- highly recommended, It proved thoroughly unsatisfactory and most provoking, as It did everything but what It was expected to do. After awhile the family was in despair, and some one suggested sending It to auc tion. 'Yhut!" exclaimed Emerson. "Trans fer our own perplexity to another pair of shoulders? No, never, unless the stove Is labeled imperfect.' " And so "Imperfect" it was labeled and sold at a great discount. Boston Herald. Doomed.

Camparlaon of Texts t'aed In Print In In the fr'atherland. "It Is remarkable that so practical a people us the (Jernians should continue to use their blind black letter," says Jerome Hurt. "The (iermuu text Is ugly, and when printed from small type on dingy paper with high speed presses, as Is the case with most daily newspapers, it is dlfllcult to decipher. Ever since the days of Cad in us alpha bets have been designed to convey ideas, and those alphabets which transfer thought with the most quickness, clear ness and precision are the best. Cou Bldcred from these standpoints the tier linin alphabet Is one of the worst. That It Is a failure Is shown unconsciously lu many ways. Advertisers, for exam ple, have uo sentiment about them. They want to reach the reader and reach him quickly. Therefore nearly all the display advertisements In Ger man newspapers are printed lu Latin characters. "Bo, too, with the commercial and financial pages. Stockbrokers and mer chants have uo time to waste lu de ciphering badly printed Ccrmuu text. Therefore the commercial page lu the German dallies Is now nearly always set up In Roman type. Circus adver tisements, theater placards and adver tising posters generally, the names of . streets on the corner signs, the letter ing ou cars and omnibuses, even tem porary Blgns, such as 'No Thorough fare' or 'Street Closed,' you nearly al ways, see In Latin characters. "Another proof of the Inferiority of the German text Is the fact thut nearly all German scientific works are printed in Koinuu. Tills has been the case for years, but It has had little effect on the printing of books of a general ua ture. Illsnuirck did much to retard this needed Improvement, for he clung stub bornly to the German text and fre quently sent back books which were printed In Roman, refusing to read them." New Orleans Times-Democrat. FLOUR IN CHINA. There It In Made of Almoat Every thing Kvx'pt Wheat. The Chinese cook stuck the eud of an Ivory chopstick Into a small brown bis cuit. "Taste, sir," he said. The biscuit was warm, crisp, rich; It was light, well salted, nutritious a biscuit, in u word, of peculiar excel lence. "This biscuit, sir, is made of flour of lentils," said the Chinaman. "You know lentils? Little green pellets slightly fluttcucd lilro split peas. Leu tils arc considered the most nutritious of all the foods of the earth. This one lentil biscuit, sir, U equal In nourish ing power to a pound and a half of roust beef." Ho took from a tin a litlo cuke. "Again taste," lie said. The little cake was rich and good. "It Is made, sir, of the flour of alm onds." said tho cook "fresh, sweet almonds ground Into a white powder between two millstones. Such a flour is a finer thing than your flour of wheat, eh?" Then he lifted u great lid and re vealed some thirty or forty compart ments, one filled with n pink flour, an other with a yellow one, u third with a brown one,' a fourth wl'.h a white, a fifth with a pule green, a sixth with a blue, and so on. "All these are Chinese flours," he said. "In China, sir, we make over fifty kinds of flour. We make flour out of potatoes, out of sweet potatoes, out of peas, out of coeounuts. out of millet, out of pulse, out of oats, out of ba nanas the fact Is, sir, we make flour In China out of everything but wheat, for In China, sir, we eat no bread, and therefore the coarse, dry, tasteless flour of wheat Is useless to us."

There are sixteen of these huge projections all together, all regularly set In the face of the cliff, ono above the other, forming a series of such uniformity as to give It the general uppearauce of a stairway.

A Weird liar of Denae Gloom In the Knallnh Metropolis, He knew his London well. We went forth luto a fog that was of tho peu Boup vurlety. It seemed useless to wait any longer for It to clear oh". The days were ull alike and were darker than twilight ever dared to be. I clung to Prentice Mulford's coat sleeve, for 1 knew If he were once to get beyond my reach I could never hope to find 1I in again. We groped blindly among the streets, where the atmosphere was only less palpable than tlie houses that walled us In. At Intervals we Inquired where wo were, for otherwise we could never have known at all. We had to feel our way carefully mid take sound ings at Intervals. "Here," said Pren tice us we paused In space; "here Is Temple Bar." I thought I saw some thing that might have been the ghost of an arch hewn out of the solid fog. The top of It, though It was not lofty, was lost to view. Temple Bar. now gone forever from the place where Its gates once swung in the wall of the old city It was here her gracious majesty Queen Victoria of England ; was wont to receive the keys of tho nil.. 41. - 1 1 1 . i-ii. mini un? mums oi un lorn mayors when she drove In state to St. Paul's cathedral. We threaded Fleet street, but could not see to the farther shore. "Here Is her majesty's tower," said rrentlce, but nothing of It was visible, not one stone upon another. We cross ed London bridge almost without knowing It. The waters of the Thames, Which are but condensed fog. were In visible from the parapet, and the steam ferries were picking their way cau tiously and looking very like marine monsters In a muddy soiiaiium. We crawled through the tunnel for foot trulllo under the Thames, which was like n hole In tho fog, und for hours carried the Bky about on our shou'dcrs. It was n woolly, greasy and ill smelling sky. Our nostrils were clogged with cinders, like chimney flues, und there were smudges nil over our fucos. Sometimes for a moment or two we saw n spot overhead that was like n pale red wafer, and we knew It for the sun, now lost to us. The lamps that burned all clay were like, glow worms for dimness, and so we explor ed the wonders of the town and saw as much yf It ns n blind man sees, but no more.

Hatred often comes from only know ing half of a man. The sense of duty Is a sign of the divine In man. The only sure thing about a He Is that It will never die. It Is hard for the leek to see why people prefer the lily. Many mistake their dreams about heaven for deeds to lots up there.

A reader forwards mo a pleasant ad dition to my collection of printers' er rors, says T. P.'s London Weekly. It was told him by the hue C. Purqulmr son Findlny, for some years editor of the Dover Chronicle, us having hap pened to him personally. He had oc casion to write of the "blind guides who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel," which appeared lu print as "who strain nt n quart and swallow a canal." Did any of my readers notice, I won der, a delightful error of this kind in one of the reviews. In which Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerinan was described ns "brandishing a mailed fi-Ii?" It rather reminds one of the famous Spoonerism about "feeling a half warmed fish in your bosom." Throwing- the Handkerchief. Statement copied from an old manu script: "In the Foundling Hospital the Boys are bound apprentices, tlie Wo men when marriageable are couducted In procession thro' ye streets, and any Young Mnn who sees oue lie wd wish for a Wife Is at liberty t mark Her by throwing his handkerchief." The fur ther formalities required previous to matrimony are not stated. Perhaps this peculiar custom Is the origin of the expression "throwing the handker chief." Nineteenth Century. Iceland Mall.
