The Equipment of the Ocean Treasure-Hunters. Philadelphia Pross, Oct, 3 st The trim schooner Mary 1. Teach, owned by the fortune-hunter who set | out three months ago to find the lost treasure of the Braak, has attracted | the notice of Senoc Don Francisco | Barco, tl niinistor at Wash ington, ¢ 8 ries camo | to Philadelphia to ins vessol and the costly diving a us with| | which sh sed. 1t 1s understood that the er of the Spanish mi is ter was to sceure the eecvices of the| American divers bring up the | wreek of eight wigh men-of-war | sunk in the Bay of Biscay by the| Dutch and Englsh fleots in 1808, An English diving company was organized four years ago to & h for the treas ure of the Spanish Gallion, but faile on account of the depth of the wa! at the head of the bay, The Amort can divers believo thoy have overcome | the difficulty by the invention of a diving bell eapablo of sinking to any depth, earrying requisite mavhinery for handling anything thatshall bo found, electriv lights, telephono - d other modern conveniences caleulated to make the diver's lot a happy one. | The owners of the vessel met yes- terday at No. 430 Walnut Street to decide where the vessel should work puring the winter months. The meeting was a private one and the of- ficers were roticent in regard to their plans, Stephen P. M. Tasker, onc of the largest owners, going so far as to say that the schooner was not a treas- ure-seeker, The other owners, who cherish hopes of finding an Eldorado at the bottom of the sea off Cape Hat- terns, havenot, it is said, abandoned their Quixotic plans, but have agroed to postpono them until the winds and storms of winter in the midst of which it is impossible for the river to work on this exposed coast, have pas- sed. They have an offer, the engin- cer of the working-ship said yester- day, to raise a cargo of railroad iron sunk in the Savannah river and an- other of lead in the harbor of North Carolina. *‘These are good winter jous,” said he. ‘‘Diving at sea in this season of year you don't know where you stand. Water rolls you round likea log,and half the timo yhu are kept on your head.” The crew of the strange craft are kopt on duty all thewhilelike the tars of a man-of-war, even while in port. The vessel at her mooring off the Shackamaxon-street wharf presents a strange appearance with her tall, rak- ish masts, her sharp bow and black smoke-stacks amidships. She was Dbuilt for a whaler, but was afterward reconstructed by the divers, who put in an engine powerful enough for a small steamship, end masts and spars tall enough for a yacht. The seamen on board knew nothing yesterday of the plans intended for them, but the vessel was being put in readiness for sea. Forty tons of coal were taken on for the engines by which the diving apparatus is operated. The weight of her boilers, diving bell, and other wreckingparaphernalia is about eighty tons, and as the vessel was built for some time hundred and ten tons bur- den, she has now all thatshecan carry. While the vessels near her have been oither discharging or taking cargo, the hatches of the small over-sparred schooner have never been taken off. A WONDERFUL DIVING APPARATUS. The old traditions which surround tho search for 25,000,000 or $30,000,- 000, in gold, which have lain at the bottom of the sea for nearly a cen- tury, are destroyed in a measure by the modern ingenuity with which the present Utopian search was to have been conducted. A diving-bell large enough for a man to live in for a week | and furnished with half the luxuries of a ship’s cabin was invented by Super- intendent Pike and is now stored away in the hold of the schooner. The diving-bell iy eight feet in height and’ about twelve in circumfercnce. Cylinder-shaped at the base, with heavy metal ic sides, the top widens into a globe, with glass windows or dead-cycs through which the explorer looks out from within, The interior is supplied with air by a one and one- half-inch hose, which may be length- ened to any extent. The air is fod by a_steam-pump on the vessel, and, unlike the ordinary armor, the diver is cnabled to breathe without effort atany depth under the sea. He moves about as freely between the brazen walls a8 an acronaut is enabled to do in the car of a balloon, and his obseryation is almost as unrestricted as the latter’s, for the bottom of the sen is lit by an electric lamp attached to the diving bell, having a power of 6,000 candles, the direction of which may be turned by reflectors so as to penetrato fifty yards of water. The diving bell, the engincer said, had been worked satisfactorily in 350 feet of water, He showed the reporter the machinery by which it is raised from the hold” of ‘the vessclafter the diver has dropped in through a hole in the roof, and the lead cap had been screwed down over his head, *‘After that,” said he, ““the air pump is set in operation, and communication is had with the man on the iuside by means of a telephone. The diving bel), weighing more than a ton, is hoisted by four wire cables, swung out from one of the yards and slowly dropped into the sea.” DOWN IN THE SEA. “But the diving suit must be more managable in the water?” 'he diver cannot go deeper than ten or fifteen fathoms in the suit on account of the pressure of the water Besides, when there is any wash in the sea the diver is buffeted about like a log. In his suit his only communica- tion with the boat is by means of a life line. In the diving-bell he talks | through the telephone and ~ deseribes all that he sees. Our mam engine is about cighty horse power aud is usod for hoisting, Then we have a clean- ing engine, which is used in washing away deposits of eand or mud from the hones of shipwrecks, Salt we is pumpe and forced down through an eight- inch hose. The pressure is 250 pounds to the inch, and the nozzle at the end is loss thau an inch n diameter. You | can estimate, if you care to, what great forco the stream las that is turned on the wre We earry two electric lights, which are melosed in glass and lowered into the sea aftor the diver. Most of our machinery was THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: IRHA)AY._N()\'EA\HHCR 4, 18 invented by Superintendent Pike, and \ 1 cuess the schooner is better equipped than any in the world. You would hardly helieve it, but if you were to| sink that rowboat yonder in 100 fect | of water in Delaware bay our sweep traveling from cape to cape, would find it 1 a few hours' time. PUSEIREESY NIAGARA'S BRINK. ors, John Greonwood's Awful Night in the Rapids In rambling about this part of the country I was curious enough to hunt up he three men that were 8o neatly swept over the falls a week or 80 ago 1 was parcicular mterested in Gree wood, for he was the one who spent wholo night in his openboat with nothing but a small anchor and o small cord bet n him and the falls. | Johu Greenwood and the two Leh mans, father and son, started in two small boats (o cross the river from | Chippewn, which is only a shore dis-| tanco above the falls on the American | side, to visit some friends, Their vis it was made, and just as darkness war setting 1 they launched their boats| on the return voyage at a spot )mnllv“ & wilo above the falls, and_only half a mile from where the terrible suction | of tho rapids begins. One of those| damp, thick fogs, due chictly, T think, | to tho spray of the cataract being driven up stream by & strong wind, suddenly enveloped the two| boats, and the occupants appalled at the sudden predicament in which they found themselves,los. their rockoning, and knew not which way to steer for the nearest shoro. Their cries for help brought out the town, snd as their boats were gradually dnfting within reach of the roar of the cata- ract and out of the reach of human voico the town bell was rung to at- tract the men and direct them which way to steer. There was the most in- tonse excitement, and people lined the river banks, peering into the impene- trablo fog in hopes, of catching o glimpse of the imperiled men. From the cries which came out of the dark- ness, it was evident that the boat nearing the falls, and were coming within the influence of the rapids—tho long arms of the dovil-fish, as it were, which drag the victim to his death. Their occu- pants rowed for life, and at the last moment a friendly eddy caught the Lehmans' eraft and brought it within easy roach of the shore, which the two men lost no time in gaining. ALMOST LOST, Of his own experienco Greenwood said, “I pulled with all my strength toward the shore when I heard the bell, and so did Lohmans. I was further out in the river than they, and seemed to catch more of the cur- rent, and this soon seemed to drag me out of all sound of my companions. AlL I could hear was the horrible roar of the falls and an occssional peal of the bell. 1 was dviven half mad and once 1 thought 1'd leap overboard and swim straight for that horribly taci- nating roar. I must have been com- pletely out of my mind for a minute. My reason had returned as suddenly as it left me, and I caught myself with one hand on the gunwale in the very act of preparing to go overboard. Then I began to have a glimmering of hope as another and louder peal of the town bell struck my ear. I thought how far away the falls were (halfa mile at the fartherest), and how near the shore was, and as I remembered how close I came to going overboard, the prespiration stood out on my face and neck as big as pearls. I was pull- ing lustliy for the bell when one ore snapped and its blade becamo useless. T could feel the waters straining at the bottom of the boat, as if they took a human delight in urging us towards the falle, Suddenly I thought of the little auchor in the bow, an.lcrawling forward I pulled it out, carefully ex- amined the knot with which it was fastened to the rope, and then the knot which Dbound the rope to the boat. The rope was little larger than a clothes-line, and the anchor was a poor affair but they were my only hope. . If piece of iron only caught in some of the rocks as we drifted to- wards the falls, the rope might hold the boat ina position until daylight and help should arrive. Tho anchor flukes bit, first one piece of rock, then another, without taking firm hold and I began to think again of the terribio roar which was becoming more and more distance when all a sudden the rope stretched out with a snap that brought up the boat with a shock, and we were fast anchored in the rapids. Would the rope hold? THE RESCUK. “I can tell you that I praycd that it would. I got away forward and kept carcfully examining it as far as I could reach, for I thought of one strand parting and then another, and the plunge over the fallsinto cternity, 1 shrank back every time my anxiety urged me to examine the rope, and each timemy fingers began their work my heart was lead, for surely, I said, they will find another strand this time, Then, as inch by inch they went over tho rope, traveling beyond gunwalo an arm's length, and finding nothing, my heart began to hghten, And when, with my arm stretched to its farthest, my finger-tips assured me that the rope was whnlju, I shouted with joy. The rope might bo part- ing under water all the time for aught I knew, but I knew nothing of that portion of it, and cared nothing, It was only that part that 1 could fee, perhapstwo feetanda halfaltogether, that | was concerned about. If it broke it must break somewhere in that small streteh, and 1 quivered liko u leaf whenever I examined 1t, And so the long night wore away, I praying, examining my rope, and shonting till I was hoarse, I think T must have crown old 100 years in that time. My joints feol “stiff now, my brain wed, and it will be weeks betore T recover from the effect of that terri- blo strain ou my neryes Greon- wood’s boat proved to be anchored wmuch nearer the shore thau he had any 1dea of, and he was reseued with- out difliculty by the townspeople the follewing morning. Moncy, he says, will never hire him to cross over the river above the Niagara falls again, a The Country: Who that has ever lived any time in the country but must have heard of the virtues of Bunlock as a blood purifier.

Fhidelphin Press Plain people ean havo but one opin ion of the complaint and explanation | in the case of the stolen eonstruction contract of the Mutual Union |‘.vh~»‘ graph company. The facts are cloar Erastus Wiman, of the firm of Duo, | Wiman & Co., himself connected with Canndian telegraph lines and inter estod in the Western Union, dircotly | or indirectly paid the clork of business | rivals to copy a confidential paper be- | ing to them, and turned over the | § copy to the ofticers of the Western Union, whose experience in constre tion contracts has probably made them experts in such matters. Therc o concealment of the facts and as o of the motives, Mr. Wiman, oso firm aims to be o of the| ( stom of the country —u ther- | ometer of the moral as well as ma rind condition of ineas firms—wanted ecertain tial information to which he con lored himself entitled, and he got it | at the expense of corrupting another man's clork, No law reaches such ota, In the nature of thiugs none can. Bach wan must judge for him- | welf by what means he will acquire confiden information, if at all; and | if ho docides to do it by buying an cmploye's honor at a price, it is his | own business, Tho prico is n dear one, and few men will deem the bar- wain good. The ofticors of the Mutual Union Telegraph Company, however, will have no sympathy at the hands of the public. They were ongaged in divid- ing the money of the stockholders and forestalling the uprofits which they were expoeting to make out of the public by a contract to build for &14,- 000,000 13,000 miles of tolegraph ine which export testimony, familiar with the Western Union and the Canadian companies, pronounces cheap at §6,- 500,000, and the price to be paid & business wen and | to the contractors in 500,000 of stock and 84,600,000 of six por cent bonds, on which the contractors so crotly agreed to bamboozle the public by advancing for three years the intorest to float the bonds. Directors and contractors are pilloried together. Each was planning to use such trust and credit as each had, and both to divide under guise of » construction contract one- half the sum needed to build the line in which they were interested. Nor, when the bewildered public turns with its sympathy to the stock- holders, at whose expense this ba gain was to bo mado, is there much reason for lavishing sympathy there. The stock of the Mutual Union com- pany, like most enterprises nowadays, woes not represent value received and business capital invested in the trade of & common carrier, but a bet on the speculative credulity of the pub- lic and its patient submission to the burden of paying profits on watered stock. dach ~ sub- seriber to a £1,000 six per cent. bond of tho company recoived as a honus £500 in stock, which represented noth- ing but a prospective opportunity to sharo in thoprofits of a business whose gains are limited by law to fair and reasonable profits on the actual capital invested. The Mutual Union stock- holder, whose payment bore a larger proportion, it must be admitted, to the actual capital than is often the case, took his chance to make some- thing out of 8500 worth of stock which TWO DAYS MORE.

The steckholders buy in for a gambling profit, tho directors contract the construction of the line to make another, the contractors ngree to float the securitivs in which they are paid by advancing interest, and the repre- sontative of 4 rival buys a copy of the contract to eap the circle of specula- tive ventures. Out of all this tangled skein of cross purposes only one thing appears of real interest to the public. ~The real cost of building and equipping 13,000 niles of telegraph line, four wires to the line, is?put by Erastus Wiman and eneral Ecflur( at §6,600,000, or 8500 amile.
