WORKING
IN II TUBE
As the Iockkeej>er turns the valve,
writes A. \V. Kolker In Appleton's
Mr.tptxiue. there la a scalp raising
iciwh :?!? If your ear were next Un
safely valve of a locomotive blowing
strain. anil as the Inruahlng air ex
ptmds it fills the tiny chamber with
ton so denne that you cannot see your
baud before your eyes. Wider an<l
wUler tbe vjIvc la opened, the fog be
coming even deuser and tiie racket
Increasing until the air fairly drones
and your eyes and eardrums and yonr
very scalp tremble with the air that
Is vibrating about you. For tbe first
time In your life yon realize that
sound may inflict physical pain and
that there Is a possibility that It may
kUL
No soouer Is the big valve opened
than yon feel tbe pressure against your j
eardrums. A big wad of cotton seems
thrust into each ear, and two big fin
gers seem to push tbe wads more and j
more firmly until each time when yon '
swallow or blow Into your node the
sensatlou disappears only to begin
anew. Should you purposely delay
swallow tug. wltbln tweuty seconds the
pain becomes Intense and finally ex
cruciating. us if a pair of knitting nee
dles were beln?j pushed deep into your
Mrs.
Notbusx sb'rt of the faith that oth
ers successfully withstand these sen
sations prevents you from becoming J
uaduly excited, for actually you are
in tte throes .of a boat as disagreeable
? situation as you care to meet. For
the eternity of half a minute tbe
racket and fog and ear pains continue.
Tb?n the noise ceases as suddenly as It
began. Out of tbe fog comes the voice ;
df your guide:
"Feeling all right? Ears all ri^ht? .
No trouble to breathe? Oh, you'll be
aO right 7* Again the valve screeches
and tbe air drones, the top of your

Gradual'/, after tLo lapse of toil
minutes, when the pressures in the
Leading and the look become more
equalised. tfce dLn begins to slacken:
then it falls more aad ifeofe and tad<je

upon aauther length of ?"tube* lite that
you left behind.
How does it feel to be under forty
pounds pressure? Tbeae is no sensa
tion to it? none whatever? which Is
tlie trouble, for in case your heart 1b
going to give out there is no warning
symptom until too late. Against ev
ery square foot of ttoo surface of your
hody Is a pressure of 5.760 pounds, and
the only thing that prevents yot from
being squashed is the 5,700 pounds
per square foot pressure inside of you.
yet you do not feel this.
The pressure from without Is so
great tuat were It not for the pressure
within you would be smashed flat as
a toad run over by a steam roller, and
the pressure within you is so great
that were It not counterbalanced by
the pressure from without you would
j explode to atoms like the shell of a
l dynamite cartridge.
I Yet you have no means of realizing
: this. You fee) perfectly natural. You
breathe normally and without effort
You move about without being con
scious of exertion. Only a feeling as
| of water left In the ears after bathing
remains.
I The noise of rumbling cars and
scraping shovels from ahead sounds
natural. So does the voice of your
guide. Only your own voice seems
strange In your own ears? far deeper
la pitch tflan you ever have heard It
and far off. not as if It came from your
own mouth, but as If from ten feet be
hind; also, and this strikes you queerly
until you have found the cause, all
sounds are chopped off short for In
this heavy atmosphere there Is little
echo and carrying power. Even the
explosion of a dynamite cartridge
makes no more noise than a shotgun
fired above In daylight.
In this dense atmosphere were you
to try to whistle with your lips or to
blow a cornet or a fife you might blow
your lungs out without producing a
sound, for the pressure would resist
any sound waves of which your lungs
were capable. Owing to the excessive
supply of oxygen, were you to light a
match It would burn with the rapidity
of tinder, amid volumes of smoke.

The mowing of a cat which Jumped
upon the bed of Jacob Cole of St. Clnlr,
Pa., savod him, his wife and father
from being asphyxiated by cool gas.
! The plaintive cries of the feline awoke
i him Just as he was succumbing to the
deadly fumes. He crawled to a win

were saved from death <nly after a
