' We were cruising in the Mediterranean in the late fall," said a globe Holier, "and on a golden afternoon we stopped beside a little fleet of sponge divers. Nearly nude, the divers sat on the edge of the boat. They held big siones that would help them descend. One at a time they inhaled three or four long breaths, and then plunged with their great stones into the blue water. One boat Interested us; its divers seemed so graceful and young. We drew nearer, and, by Jove, the divers were all girls. "They were young Greek girls from Hlmla, an island near Rhodes. It seems that In Himla the sponge diving Is carried on by girls altogether. These girls seemed very expert. "Their dark hair knotted on their shapely heads, they reclined on the deck till their turn came. Then, graceful as stage dancers, they leaped overboard, and in the sea's dim green depths tugged at the black sponge growths. "The captain said the Hlmla girls were not permitted to marry till they had brought up a certain quantity of sponges from a certain specified depth."

A phonographic device that will call the police by telephone adds a new hazard to the dangers of the burglar's profession, says the Technical World. When an attempt is made to force a window or door with which the proper connections have been made, an electric current operates a phonograph in the garret. The machine calls up central and asks for the police station. The phonogranh then informs the officers of the robbery, giving street and number, and repeats this information as long as the receiver is down. Meantime the Intruder, all unconscious that an alarm has been rung in, virtually walks into a trap, and if the call is promptly responded to is soon in the Wealthy and Practical Sheriff. Robert W.

Hogarth of the British museum, who is engaged in archeological explorations at Ephesus. Some of the coins among the 4,000 objects taken out at the artemisium are attributed to dates between 700 and 600 years before Christ, antedating the time of Croesus. Some of them are of still remoter periods, and are believed to be older than any other coins known to be in existence. Among the most interesting discoveries are rude terra cotta figures of the goddes3 Artemis, while some of the objects jewels and crystals, amber and beads, bone, ivory, bronzes and articles made of gold, silver and electrum, were probably devoted by devout worshipers to the personal use of Artemis. 1-- Eggs per doz.

In a trial before Judge Kersten In the criminal court the other day counsel for the defendant, recognizing that he had a desperate case, made a particularly strong appeal to the Jury, say? the Chicago Chronicle. Ills plea was of the emotional order, and the crow.l ed court room was bushed as the law yer exalted his client and begged for the leniency of the Jury. in his closing oratorical flight the attorney, extending both arms toward his client, gazed lixedly at the jurori and impressively observed: "Gentle men of the Jury, in all the attributes of manhood, iu everything which goes to constitute my good citizenship, client Is a stalwart. There he sits, a stalwart physically and mentally; a stalwart in integrity and probity." Then the lawyer sat Own. In the rear of the room sat a little man who had been deeply interested in the proceedings In court. As the judge wa preparing to instruct the jury and silence was supreme, the little man leaned toward the occupant of a seat near him and in a shrill voice said: "1 am a little bard of hearing; what Itlnd of a wart did he say the man on trial is?"
