HOW SAILORS CAN WORK UNDER WATER. 



An ingenious German sea captain has invented a simple device 

 by which a sailor can keep perfectly dry while working on the 

 side or bottom of a ship at a considerable distance under water. 

 The device consists of a long canvas bag — the length of it to 

 be determined by the depth of the particular ship — cylindrical 

 in form, except that it tapers down from a diameter at the top 

 of two feet to a width at the bottom of one foot. The bag 

 is kept expanded and in shape by iron rods, and heavy weights 

 attached to the base keep it in position in the water. .\t the 

 proper distance from the bottom there are three glass windows, 

 enabling the operator in the bag to look about him in any 

 direction. At the height of one's shoulders there are two large 

 sleeves finished of? with tight-fitting rubber wrists. The oper- 

 ator gets into the bottom of the bag, puts his arms through the 

 sleeves, looking to it that the rubber cuflfs fit tight enough to 

 exclude water, and then the bag is dropped over the side of 

 the ship and let down to the point that needs repairs, while the 

 man works away comfortably and dry — the only part of hira 

 exposed to water being his hands. 



This, of course, is not intended for use where the repairs are 

 extensive and properly call for dry-docking, but it would serve 

 very well where the needed repairs are slight and can be 

 accomplished under the water.
