DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GKORGTA . FRIDAY WORDING, JULY 0, 18S6. The Secrets of the Sea, as Seen Throug' an Air-Tight Helmet.

New York Herald. “Life on the ocean wave” was well enough in its day, but the descriptions 01 its perils have grown tame in the long course of years, and nowadays when pet - pie want to hear of thrilling adventures and hairbreadth escapes connected with the sea they turn to those who have e.xpr rieneed life under the ocean wave and sur vived its dangers. There, is a fascination and an excitement about the work of sub marine divers which seldom fail to attract a landsman’s interest. The strange re gions into which the divers explore, their unknown and often ghastly inhabitants, the unexpected obstacles which may in a moment set at naught the best precautions of science—all these surround the profes sion with mystery and its followers with awe, not unmixed with admiration foi their bravery. A TALK WITH A DIVER. Sitting in his little otiice on South street a veteran diver who has been in the busi ness twenty-two years, and whose father followed it before him, told a Herald re porter the other day about sonic of the jobs he had done and of the dangers to which divere are exposed. ‘'You want to know something about a diver’s experience,” he continued after a pause. ‘‘Well, I will tell you. It was about five years ago next July that I was work ing off Cable Island, on the New England coast, for the underwriters of a schooner that went ashore on the island, and then came off and sank with her cargo of rail road car wheels. To recover this I went down in 126 feet of water. It was a fine day, and I could see objects near me very distinctly. I went inside the schooner s hold to make an examination, when sud denly the blowing noise which goes through the helmet when the air enters censed, and I knew that something had happened to the air pump at the surface. I didn’t dare give the signal to be pulled up by the tender until I got hold of this other line, because I was afraid of the effect on the blood circulation of being pulled up too quickly. As it was my blood seemed to fly out in every direc tion. But with the other line I hoped to hold on, then give the signal and make my ascent slowly. In the mean time the tender suspected something wrong and began to haul me up. At the first pull my eyes seemed to shoot out of my head, and then I lost consciousness and remember nothing more. That job laid me up a good many weeks, which I spent in the Massachusetts hospital in Boston.” SOME DWELLERS OF THE DEEP. “Did you ever come ucross any dead bodies in the water ? ” asked the reporter. “Oh, yes, often;” was the reply. “1 have been sent to search for them, and I have run against them unexpectedly. There are some of these things that I would rath er not talk about, but there are some in stances of finding corpses that I can recall and don’t mind mentioning. When I was in the Irish service I went down in eighty- five feet of water to look for the body of a young gentleman who was drowned when out gunning in a boat with his sweetheart. The first day I went down I found his gun, and after that I walked about the bottom for five days without coming upon the body. At last I discovered it held tightly in between two rocks with the game bag lying beside it. “Another time, when I was diving oft the pier at Dungeness, England, when I reached the bottom I noticed an object leaning against one of the dock piles, which 1 took to be a bag of coal, like one of those used on British steamers. I went up to it and took hold of it, when the tide loosed it fvom its mooring and the ghastly face of a dead man bobbed up close to my •own. I recovered from my horror in a moment, and took the body in my arms and brought it to the surface. It proved i-o be the tiody of a man who had disap peared some time before. DEEP WATER WORK. “In how deep water have you worked, captain ?” “The deepest work I ever did was in 136 feet of water. That was on the wreck of the British ironclad Vanguard, which was run into and sunk by the Iron Duke, eight and a half miles southeast of the Kish lightship, in St. George’s channel. I was in the government service then, and was sent down to recover the anchors of the corvette Petrel, which was going to be made into a lightship, and also to in spect the Vanguard’s wreck. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. •Vendition of I'rops anil I’lospoot for lluxha-Nx. Los Angeles, Cal., July 7.—The crops in the county of Los Angeles, taken as a whole, were perhaps never better. The unusual rain ol'lust winter wet the ground thoroughly aud insured for one season at least good crops. The acreage of wheat rather exceeds that of any former year, and the yield is fully up to the average per acre and all harvested and threshed in tip-top shape without a drop of rain. Barley also was more than an average crop both ill acreage and yield. The hay crop was never so good, and we are now cutting the third crop of Alfalfa for the season, and will get seven to eight cuttings this year of perhaps two to two and one-half tons per acre to the cutting, making it safe to say an aver age yield of fifteen tons to the acre for the season. This Alfalfa hay is worth *5 per ton ill the field where it is cut, and about $S per ton baled and delivered in Los An geles. The fruit crop is abundant, all vari eties grown in this country yield ing a full crop this year, except the apricot, which may be reckoned at one- fourth a crop. The grape crop never looked more promising at this season, and the chances are 5S in 100 that we shall have the largest and finest grape crop ever produced in California. Oranges and lemons look finely, and bid fair to surpass the large yield of last year, and tile east ern visitors to this areadian winter resort ; will be more charmed in the quality of our , fruits.

Her joints were swollen and distorted, great knots had formed upon her hand. She could only with great difficulty and pain manage to walk, and was a constant suf ferer from this dreadful disease. We tried everything we could read or beat of, and took advice of eminent practi tioners without any benefit in the way ol permanent relief. 1 was induced to try Hnnnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure a short tinu ALTHOUGH I IIAII LOST FAITH in all patent medicines and nostrums and considered her ease incurable. "The effect was magical;the pains have entirely vanished; the swelling and dis tortion of her joints lias disappeared, and the disease lias been, I verily believe, eradicated from her system. She is still using the medicine as a precautionary measure, and her general good health’is being restored by it. 1 can honestly and fearlessly recommend Ilunnii-ntt’s Rheu matic Cure as the best medicine for rheu matism and the blood upon Du-market.” For sale by wholesale and retail drug gists everywhere.
