WOMAN'S "HOBBY”

WALKING UNDER

THE SEA

London.

A woman who frequently goes for a walk on the bottom of the sea Mrs. William Beebe, wife of the American scientist who has written several books on his undersea explorations,

Dr. Boabe has descended, in a pressure-proof tank, maro than 2.000' fent, into the depths of the ocean, the farthest any human be. Ing has ever gone.

Mrs. Beeba sccómpanies him on his deep-sen diving expeditions off the Bermudas, but every year, sho comes to London, to apend two months in reacarch at the British Musaum. She is an authority on England history,

Dropping into the sen over the aide of their boat in her diving eoulpment, Mrs. Beebe says she falls into an under-ses world of dreamy blue, brightened by flash- ing colours.

Fish that live along the ocean floor, she declares, are weird In shape and brilliant in hue. She thinks they are the most curious crantures in the world. Instead of beling frightened of her as sho moves among them. they gather round and stare at her.

More than once a shark bas de elded that she looked good enough to eat.

"Then." says Mra. Berb"; "the rent gash of a mouth with its gleaming rows of razor-edged teeth make me sick with horror..

"But I hold on to myself. Any movement would be fatal. The only thing to do is to stand stockt atill. I did that and the man- enter left me untanghal, Thav are like dogs, and will only attack If you run?".

Mrk. Reobe, in telling of the perils divers encounter in "Davy. Jones' Lockar." recalled an avonia- ing hour her husband once spent on the bottom of the sea,

"During one of his expeditions," she said, "his foot became wedged between two pieces of rock coral. and desperate efforts falled to ex- tricate it.

"He shivered with horror at the thought of dying there all alone at the bottom of the ocean.

"It was no use aending a signal. There was only one man in the boat above, and he must keep the air- pump going?

"So, stolidly, he settled down to hack away at the rock with his knife. After an hour's hard work he was able to wrench his foot free."-Reuter.

WHISKY

On examining the head more closely, he discovered that the skin. of the neck was impregnated with a dark blue dye. History relates that the neck and cheat of Henri IV, who relgücd over France from 1699 to 1610, were undoubtedly dyed before his body was embalmed. In order to hide certain tattoo- marks definitely unsuitable for preservation.

The head also bears a mole which ́ is shown in portraits of the King, and an unusual sepr which closely resembles one known to have been |borne hy hím.—Reuter.

Marion, Indiann. Apprehensive of the consequences when his father found out that he had played truant, thirteen-year- old Phillip Barkdull decided to shoot himself in the foot in the hope that his father's hand might be stayed out of sympathy.

Five or six times, Orville Bald, Phillip pressed the gun against his foot and pulled, the trigger. It would not fro. Then Phillip, laughing,

wondered what would. happen it, he pressed the weanon against his head and tried to fire It. That time it fired, and Phillip, fatally wounded, fell across the tracks, where his body, mangled by train, was found three hours lator.

Orville said he fled home.---Reu
