To havo toyed with this Infinites imal unit of force for tho spaco of an hour's time to havo examined its' structure and menBured its chargo, surpasses tho wildest flights ot a magician's dream, but It marks a groat strldo In sclonco by estab lishing tho Ionic hypothesis of Far raday.

Most peoplo know moro or less what a diver, looks llko in his work ing dress with his polished metal helmlt, sphorlcal In slmpe, fitted with groat glass eye-holes and screwed securely on to tho shoul ders of his air-tight suit, which lln Ishes off with a pair of heavy leaden- soled boots. Somo may havo seen ono of thoso odd-looking, cumbrous figures disappearing over tho side of a barge, and then perchance havo watched tho men on board busy working tho air-pump, which onables tho diver to breathe at the bottom of tho sea. Tho casual ob server, however, Is apt to forget that tho latter must be a highly trained craftsman in addition to be ing a skilful diver. Wero it other wlso, his ability to dive would bo of little uso in tho majority of cases In which his services aro requisi tioned. Ho Is often called upon in cases of wrecks to make most to portant reports regarding the feasl blllty, or otherwlso, of salvage oper atlons, and must In such instances be possessed of sound Judgment. His work Is of a most 'arduous na ture, If on remembers the condi tions In which It is perforce carried on. His electric Inmp Is all he has to see by In tho darkness of tlw green waters, which Impede his every movement, and according to circumstances he has to overcome the most formidable obstacles. Naturally tho principal difllculties are tho air supply and tho pressure of the water which at great depths Is enormous. Great patience, too, Is required, as a storm may arise, which, In addition to Interrupting, may undo work already performed by burying It under the sand. It may be a question of salving valua ble treasure to reach which the thick steel plates of a ship havo to bo laboriously cut through, tho force of each blow of tho hammer under water being diminished by more than half. Extreme care, too, is necessary to avoid any Jagged edge of metal . coming In contact with the alr-plpo or life-line, which might of course havo disastrous re sults. The diver has also to tread warily, as a false step may lead to his getting a foot wedged between two heavy boxos fprmlng part of tho cargo which lie Is working on. Cases havo been known, too, of men so occupied receiving unwelcome at tentions from such sea monsters as octopus or sharks. Naked divers are occasionally sent down, nnd haw been known to stny under water as long as two minutes at a time, but oven this Is of courso Insufficient for dping much useful work. The writ er has seen ono so employed for lo cating a wreck that was lying at a depth of three or four fathoms. Divers aro also sometimes provldod with a portable supply of compressed oxygen, and an arrangement where by tho air that has been breathed, Is purified by being passed through a solution of caustic soda. Such an apparatus renders them independent for tho time being of communication with tho outer world. They also In some cases descend In diving bolls, which although discarded for n time, have again como Into favor for superintending certain classes of work. The diving boll has no bottom, but Is otherwlso entirely closed, con sequently as It Is lowered absolutely perpendicularly tho air within can not escnpo any moro than it would from a tumbler plunged upsldo down Into a basin of water. The air Is, however, renowod by means of a pipe and tho stale air expelled through a valvo. Those bolls, which vary In type. aro vory usoful In submarine build ing operations, bolng fitted with win dows which enablo tho occupants to obsorvo all that goes forward and with a telephone which Insures con stant communication with tho men above. Mlnuto directions nro thus given as tho groat blocks of stono nro carefully lowored Into position, and nothing neod bo loft to chance. Anothor kind of boll Is fitted with a shaft from Its roof to above tho tho water lino In which a ladder en ables tho men to pass up and down, Tho tolophono Is also now used by divers working Individually without boll. In fact, many improvements havo boon Introduced ot lattor years. ECHOES FROM THE STATE PRESS COL. HOFER HERE IN AUTO. (Coos Bny Harbor.) Col. E. Hofer tho well known editor of the Salem Capitol Journal and candidate for governor Is hero this week. Ho mado the trip down tho Wil lamette valley In his auto accom panied by his son. Col. Hcfer Is a well known "pood roads" enthusiast and his experience of tho work being done on tho public highways grinds him and ho arrived moro determined than ever to carry on his fight for stato built highways for Oregon.
