It is not certain whether Adam was a diver. There is reason to believe that he wore no "dress" of any kind at first, so that, if he dived at all, he must have used his natural powers alone. These powers, we learn from the best authorities, are barely sufficient to enable a man to stay under water for two minutes at the furthest. Experience corroborates these "best authorities." It has been asserted that pearl-divers can sometimes stay under water as long as three, four, and even five minutes, but we don't believe the assertion. If the reader does, we have no hesitation in pronouncing him--or her--credulous. (Illustrated)
