He turned toward his compar "Suppose ‘ou look into her, Miles soon as the sea goes down*?" The young man‘s eyes brighte "I1 was iust going to suggest it,‘ waid. "If there isn‘t some salvag her, cap, there ought to be." Althm;:t still in his early iwenties, Gordon Miles had been working seyvâ€" eral years for the North Coast Salâ€" vage Company. He had begun as a eabin boy on one of their boats and had worked up until now he was their most trusted diver; he had proved himself a valuable man in reclaiming the lost treasures of the deep. It took three days for the storm to subside! then the tug Driftwood steamed to Sword‘s Point and caught anchor near the sunken vessel. Gordon threw out the lead, and the sounding showed scarcely mote than fifty feet of water. "I‘ll, use the selfâ€"contained outft toâ€"day," he announced to his helpers. "Got it ready ?" "Ay, ay!" came in a chorus, as the men carried the diving suit to him and began to help him get into K. First came the "dress," a waterâ€" proof combination suit consisting ol: shirt, trousers and socks, into which Miles crawled through an open‘ing 321 the neck. . The men first drew the wristbards tight; next they securedi the iron neckpiece, or corselet, to the‘ dress and then cupped the round helâ€" met over his head and fitted it to the rorselet. They left the front window out until the dir supply could be adâ€" justed. That done, the helpers huns weights on him,â€"twenty pounds o lead on his chest and twentyâ€"five on his back,â€"and pulled on the clumsy shoes with the t:irk wooden soles and the plates of metal. Last of all come the airâ€"supply outâ€" fit. In the ordinary suit the diver gets his air by means of tubes that carry it from a pump at the surface, and he has telephonic communication with his helpers; but in the scâ€"called selfâ€"contained outft he is entirely cut off from the surface, for he carries two tanks of atr like knapsacks, toâ€" gether with a cylinder of caust‘c soda that purififes the air that he exhales. The advantage of the selfâ€"contained outht is that it has no tubes, ropes or wires. n T When his helpers had adjusted alt the paraphernalia, Gordon climbed down a ladder to the eds: of the| water, then slid slowly wn the’ "@whot rope." As he went deeper he| turned on more air pressure, in order| to counterâ€"balance the increasing presâ€" | sure of the water. His ears began to hum, and he had to swallow repeatedâ€" ly in order to keep them from aching violen:IJ. The dark blue of the water changed into a livid green, which, in turn, deepened into a murky, slimy dusk color that merged below into complete darkness. _ AutoStrop Safety Razor Co., Limi AutoStrop Building, Toronto, Canadsa A perfect shave in Down, down, down he went until the is AutoStrop Razor serâ€" vice.

Miles, as he in The diver‘s first feeling was that of a trapped animal. He was tempted to tear himseli? loose from the cumberâ€" some outfit and struggle for life; but in another moment he had_recovered his calm. As he hasténed back to the lhmh through which he had entered, the water became roily with its lold1 | of mud; he could see less than five‘ |feet ahead. Every hatch and companâ€" ionway past which he groped was stuffed with coze, showing that the vessel was lying flat upon its deck. The rock had held up the starboard side as sticks support a rabbit trap, and the tide had washed it free just in time to im‘frison him. The muddy, murky water was beâ€" wildering him. Slime settled on the | glasses of his helmet and on the globe | of his flashlight; he wiped it away, but it collected again and again. A | great, uglyâ€"looking fish nosed its way toward him, then swished off into the | gloom. He stopped to think, for it . was useless to search for an open hatch or companionway. Then the | thought of companion windows came ito him. great form of the Caribbean loomed ahead of him. It had turned bottom up, but one side was propped b‘ & huge boulder on which the derelict tilted and rocked with the action of the waves. It seemed in danger every minute of sl.pping from the rock and settling with its upper deck flat in the cozy bettom. 0 Gordon had covered only a short distance when a strange quiver passed through the ship, followed by a gratâ€" ing, rasping scratch; the hull rocked for a moment uncertainly, then gave a sudden lurch to the starboard, and all was still againâ€"still as death. The wreck had slipped from the boulder. He rushed into a cabin. There was no time to waste; every breath that he drew brought the end of his air supply closer. Again he was disapâ€" pointed, for the oval companion winâ€" dows were much too small for a man incased in a clumsy diving suit to crawl through. _ s Gordon rested for a moment, disâ€" heartened; it took all of his selfâ€"conâ€" trol to keep panic from him. Only fifty feet of water between him and life, yet he was helpless! "If I‘m caught," he said to himself, rin;l{, "I‘m going to die scrapping or life." Determined to find an opening beâ€" fore the last c{linder of air should be exhausted. he hastened from the cabin with his great queer strides. In the freght bunker the heavy port‘ attracted his attention and gave him‘ hope. This was a huge door through which the freight was loaded, and it was hung to slide along a track. Gorâ€" don put his shoulder to it and pushed with all his strength, but the door did not budge; he tried again and again with the same result. When the ship had overturned, the rollers had bound on the track. A giant, unimâ€" peded by a diving suit and water, could not have opened it; but Gordon continued to work at the task desperâ€" ately and doggedly. _ 1Â¥ Suddenly he paused, as something that he had seen flashed into his mind.| For a second he stood in his tl'aclm,1 while he tried to get his exact bearâ€" ings, then he jumped toward the inâ€" verted companionway leading up into| the boiler room. He did not stop there, but hurried aft through the coal bunkers. The water was clearing somewhat, and he was able to make good headway through the refuse. At‘ last he arrived in the end compartâ€" ment, and there, directly above him, was the rip in the vessel that he had noticed in going down. He wondered, however, if it was not even now too late, for the air in his helmet was becoming stuffy. He turned more of his precious supply into the suit to inâ€" flate it for the ascent. There was a moment of uncertainty, then his feet left the pl:nkinfii and he rose. Hurâ€" } riedly he edged through the rent and, once again free, floated to the surface. John Renn pulled him into the boat and jerked off the front window of his helmet. Asâ€"he passed his knotty fingers over the duct from the air ux;ks, a Kn:ied expression came into his weatherâ€"tanned face. "Empty! Why, boy, your air‘s all gone!" Gordon smiled.

We hear a great deal about understood children.

There are two culinary horrorsâ€" hard, dry, horny scrambled eggs and watery, mushy scrambled eggs. This seems a great pity, as there is no betâ€" ter or more easily prepared dish for the honfte supper than a light, feathery mass of golden eggs cooked to just the right degree of perfection in this Then, too, this dish may be rendered a very economical one as wel, for the number of eggs may be reduced and| bits of minced leftovers added just as the eggs begin to slightly thicken in the pan. Asparagus tips, cooked peas, bits of chopped cooked celery or carâ€". rot, chopped cooked spinach, minced| cooked sausage, ham, bacon, meat and‘ poultry are all specially good additions and may frequently be the means of| using up leftovers too small to use in any other way. \| When the eggs are to be served, alone, beat them thoroughly, allowing one for each person to be served. Add; a tablespoonful of milk for each emz‘.‘4 Salt, parsley and paprika may be add-f ed to suit the individual taste. | But even if tactfully seasoned the eggs. can be ruined in the cooking. Let a tablespoon of bacon dripping melt in the frying pan and when it sizzles pour in the egg mixture. Let the degree of heat beneath the pan be moderate, for if too hot the eggs will brown on the edges and the rest will turn to "curds and whey." Now the usual procedure is to take a kitchen spoon in a tightly clenched fist and stir with might and main to produce the scrambled effect. Don‘t do it! Use instead your most gentle and skillful touch. Lift the cooked part in large pieces and let the unâ€" cooked part run to the bottom of the pan... Continue this shifting and liftâ€" ing until the whole is a light, creamy mass and serve immediately. The same rule of one tablespoonâ€" ful of liquid to each egg holds good when different liquids are combined with the eggs, and : tomato sauce, catsup, stock and grayies are all good. Chicken giblet gravy is delicious with a small quant.ty of chopped chicken, catsup with ham or sausage and a piquant brown or highly seasoned cream sauce with the cooked vegeâ€" tables. Three eggs with half a cupful of leftovers will serve four persons genâ€" erously and it is recommended that the "scramble" be served on buttered toast slices, thereby improving not only the appearance of the dish, but securing a convenient service of the principal course as well as the bread course of the meal. Nellie Was Practical. It was Nellie‘s first visit to the museum, and she was accompanied by her mother. Room after room they passed through, till at length they stood before a kunight in shining arâ€" mor.

Then she shook her Enormous Food Supply. Among the eatables consumed in one recent voyage of a glant Atlantic liner were 750,000 Ihs. of meat, 1,400 lbs. of tea, 107,600 lbs, of flour, and 40 tons of potatoes, * S Minard‘s Liniméent used by Physiciang = eS *Ws . Two Culinary Horrors. TORONTO How big is a oneâ€"carat diamond? Perhaps the best way to answer that question ts to say that a pound of diamonds represents exactly 2,270 carats. A cubjcal box two and onreâ€"half inchâ€" es in diameter will hold just that quantity of diamonds. Nine pounds of diamonds will fill a quart measure. Diamonds were never really found in quantity until the South African deposits were opened up, at Kimberâ€" ley. Nearly all of the world‘s supply now comes from that source. It costs $9 a carat to produce the stones, for which you must pay $200 to $400 a carat, because the output is controlled by a single British company, the "Barâ€" nato crowd," of which Solomon Joel is the head. * The South African diamonds are found in volcanic "pipes"â€"that is to say, in conduits through which long ago molten metal flowed out from the bowels of the earth. This material contained considerable carbon, which was crystallized out by the enormous heat, forming diamonds. To get one pound of diamonds (2,270 earats) a washing plant at Kimberley must treat 14,500,000 pounds of rock. The deepest diamond mine at Kimberâ€" ley has attained a depth of more than half a mile, and there is no sign of exâ€" haustion of its wealth in precious stones. _-._.__0_.._. & _ Waves Not So High The South African diamond diggers. in order to obtain less than a pint of diamonds, are cbliged to handle enough material to fill 12,000 of the largest coal cars, or twentyâ€"four trainâ€" loads. \ _ The roughness of the sea, so far as | ships are concerned, depends pot so much upon the height of the waves as upon the distance between wave ‘icrests. If the waves are very long it ! does not much matter what their ‘height, as the ship will move up and | down long, easy grades; but if the : waves are short the ship will plunge 1 and pitch. Waves are rarely less than ‘a hundred feet from crest to crest, f unless the sea is extraordinarily chopâ€" | py, and may be any distance up to a | half mile, when great swells are runâ€" \ning after a heavy storm. Almost every one, upon seeing the ocean for theâ€"first time, is conscious of a feeling of disappointmentâ€"it is not nearly so impressive as he had expected. This is largely due to the fact that storyâ€"writers and poets have made such free use of the term "waves mountainâ€"high." As a matter of fact, waves, even during the heaviest storms, are not nearly mountainâ€"high, forty féet being an.exceptionally high wave for the north Atlantic during severe gales, and waves twenty feet high making very rough water. In times of calm weather the waves which break upon the shore will not average more than two or three feet in height, and if the sea is very smooth they may not be more than from six inches to a foot high. Waen the waves are running three feet there will be considerable surf, and bathing is most enjoyable when the waves are about two feet high.
