SOPOPE SOROSCOVOLOFOSOFOSRPOIOPOPO D B e R P ST G0LD FROM THE SEA Two Problems Confronting Ocean’s Treasure Seekers. Alr Pressure and Light—What Is Re- quisite for Diver In Exploring Depths Greater than a Hundred Feet. New York.—Hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of gold, silver, copper and precious stones are lying on the bottom of the sea, ready to the hand of the first person who will devise means of recovering them. Inventors in every part of the world are building | submarine boats, diving armor, dredg- ing apparatus and other devices, sole- ly for the purpose of finding and bring- ing to the surface these sunken treas- ures. The two main prcblems to be solved are those of protection against water pressure and providing light in which to work. The latter problem is more easily solved than the former. Mod- era developments in electric lighting make it practically ¢ertain that power ful searchlights can be devised which will give sufficient illumination for salvage operations at depths as great as 400 feet. Divers who have been down 160 feet agree that even when the sun is shining brightly the ocean depths are in semidarkness, which in- creases as one descends. The other and more serious problem is that of pressure. The ordinary di- ver's equipment depends upon & con- stant supply of air pumped in from above, and a rubber suft with a metal helmet, all air-tight, or nearly so, to keep the water from rushing in the minute the pressure of air pumped through the hose becomes less than the water pressure from outside. Theoretically, of course, the air pres- sure could be maintained at a point that would equalize the water pres- sure, but what would become of the ‘diver? Men working in compresed air caissons under a presure of 46 pounds to the square inch are risking their lives, and 45 pounds means only a depth of 104 fect of water. At 200 feet the water pressure is a little over 86% pounds to the square inch; at 250 feet it is over 108 pounds; at 300 feet it is 130 pounds, and many of the sunken treasures lie at even greater depths. Very few divers have descended as deep as 100 feet. One adventurous young man went down 196 feet in Puget sound, but on a second attempt !'his helmet was ecrushed by the 85 { pound water pressure and he was {'hauled up deal. Two English naval | oflicers are said to have descended 1210 feet, but could remair at that depth only a few seconds. The problem of getting down to the deep-lying treasure ships, therefore, i8 essentially one of constructing me- the terrific water pressure. It must carry its own supply of oxygen, since any sort of flexible air tube would be crushed flat long before a depth of 400 feet is reached, and it must be so con- structed that the diver inside it can accomplish something after he reaches the wreck, even if he can do nothing more than attach a grappling hook to a copper ingot. The encouragement for inventors working along these lines is found in the knowledge already at hand of wrecks bearing treasure, which have been sunk tor hundreds of years. rying quantities of gold from Santo Domingo sank off the island of Santa Lucia at an unknown depth in a hur- ricane that drove the ships of Christo- pher Columbus into a mearby harbor | From then on, for two the record of the Spanish is filled with for safety. centuries, conquest of America ing the riches of Peru and Mexico back te Spain, Probably no diver will ever reach the wreck of the Ti‘anie, 1 two miles deep in mid-Atlantic, where | the water pressure reaches the tre- mendous force of 4,574 pounds to the square inch, but it is easily possible | that some of the inventors now work- | ! ing on the main problems involvea | from | I will reap inealenlable riches | wrecks yet to be discovered at depths of a thousand feet or more. | TO HONOR WILLIAM T.

Bewildering Object He Had Often Dreamed of Becomes a Reality. By JEAN DICKERSON. Neal Woodson paused before the window of the Woman's Exchange and regarded the display of toothsome dainties with appreciative eyes, Flaky pies, rich loaves of cake, ! pyramids of airy biscuits, fat loaves |of bread and all the spare corners were filled with plates of delicious | looking little cakes in endless variety. In the middle of the window was la long platter heaped with little | heart-shaped cakes frosted in pink and white. “Just the thing for Priscilla’s birth- day party,” decided Priscilla's broth- er and with the thought he stepped through the door and took his place among the customers lining the coun- ter. Two girls in dainty white walted deftly upon the seekers after home- tooked viunds, Neal found himself following every | movement of the younger of the two | girls. Fair and slender with flashing | brown eyes demurely veiled by thick dark lashes she was an alluring sight. Neal had dreamed of such & white dimpled chin and such delicate- ly curved pink lips curling upwards at the corners and of such flne, bronze-gold hair tucked behind pink ears. Now the reality was before him. He determined that none other than this fair maiden should minister to his wants. But she was waiting upon a man standing beside him, “Oh—the sugar hearts?” asked the girl pleasantly, and she went to the ' window and before Neal's agonized glance she counted out four dozen of | the heart-shaped cakes—until there | wus only one left on the platter! The man took the cracking paper bag of sugar hearts and pald for them and went his way. Neal was aware that the girl was speaking to him, “What will you have?” she asked. | “Sugar Hearts,' replied Neal, wildly hoping that there might be more of the pink and white cakes, “l am so sorry—the last have just | been sold.” “There's one left,” said Neal, rather stupidly. She was so wonderful he | could not let her go. The dimples came into play and the | corners of her lips deepened. “You wouldn't want that—one?" “Yes, please,” sald Neal dizzily. I She brought him the sugar heart twisted in a tiny bag. “Five cents, please,” she said demurely. that he might watch her while she ter and brought him a handful of sil- ver change. “Perhaps 1 could order some of these sugar hearts,” he ventured as he turned to go. “Certainly you can.” She brought fortn a book and poised a pencil over it. “How many?” “Five dozen. Please mark them ‘Neal Woodson,” and I will stop for them tomerrow night.” “Thank youw,” said the girl and | turned away with heightened color to wait upon another custome:. When Neal reached home his sister | met him in the hall. Priscilla was small and dark and brill’antly lovely. “What are you carrying in that ab- surdly careful manner?” she asked mischievously. Before Neal could protest she had | captured the tiny bag from his gloved tingers and was peering at the lonely sugar heart. “Well, Neal sentimental sillies, what—" Woodson—of all the pink frosted dainty, “It's a saple,” said Neal sheeplsh. ly. “It's a sugar heurt. 1 saw them in the window of the Exchange and I have ordered five dozen for your party tomorrow night. 1 brought this home for you to taste. I'll bring them home tomorrow night.” “You ordcred five dozen? Neal Woodson, you are a dear!

Neal put up a protesting hand. “No —I told her—er—I said I would stop itor them—I don't mind—it'’s on my way bhome.” i “Very well, ve—ry—well, dear,” Neal gave her a five dollar bill so | chanism sufficiently rigid to withstand | Fang up the amount on the cas': regls- | the | Between | | exclamations Priscilla was exawining ' | ehowered upon the delegates to the soothed Priscilla with suddenly merry International Women's congress when €Ye8 and she darted away into the in eession here, M.

He smiled sheepishly and blushed. All right for Priscilla! When he went downstairs the long roome were full of laughter and merri- ment for Priscilla’s guests were choos- ing partners by means of heart-shaped cards that exactly matched. Neal noticed that each guest put his or her hand into a bowl and drew what- ever luck came uppermost but before he could reach the crowd around the men's bowl Priscilla thrust a pink paper heart in his hand and waved him away. “Go find your partner, knave,” she ordered and Neal groaned for he be- lleved that had been assigned to some wallflower. He read the motto on his card: “Will you be my heart's de- light?" That's mean of Priscilla— Iluppose it should chance to be that Idnrk eyed, skinny Miss Wicks? i So he emerged from the dancers and found himself before an alcove given over to a shaded seat and & mass of greenery. Sometimes fate is kind to lovers; therefore, when Neal paused in the al- cove and stared ipcredulously in was because his beautiful girl was sitting there—a veritable Queen of Hearts in rosy pink and white and holding a | pink card that matched his own. When she saw him she blushed. “Oh, it is too bad of Priscilla,” she protested as he held out his hand with his token in its grasp. “She wouldn't let me draw a card.” “Too good, you mean,” he sald warmly and sat down beside her. After awhile, when conversation lan. guished, Doris Allen asked demurely: | “What shall we talk about, ‘Cabbage | and Kings?": | Neal shook his head. “No, let us speak of the Queen of Hearts and how | she came to be selling sugar hearts— and I'll tell you the rest some other time!” | He whirled her away in an enchant- {ing waltz and they quite forgot the tray of sugar hearts in the alcove. But the sugar hearts had served ' thelr humble purpose—that of making two people happy.

The prison of St. Lazare is going to be pulled down and rebuilt, and with it will disappear a curious little relic of old Paris, a tiny shop in which the last public letter writer in France plied his trade. In olden times, be- fore education had become general, the public letter writer did a thriving trade and the one just outside St. Lazare had many customers of note. Among them was, if rumor and the present proprietor of the little shop may be believed, the world famous Manon Lascaut, who dictated her love letters to Des Grieux there, where the only customers now are illiterate ser- vant girls, who write home to their friends In Brittany. So rare has the necessity for vicarious letter writing become that the present proprietor of the place has added another profitable trade to his program and | acts as an informal lawyer and man of business to many of the prisoners in St. Lazare-—Paris correspondence more | London Standard. e ———— ’ Washing Grimy Hands.
