THE SUNKEN TREASURE GAL
Icons.
A Hopeful Letter from Superintendent
Boyle, Written from VigO, Spain.

Boyle, Written from VigO, Spain.
Those interestedin the work of the Inter-
national Submarine Company, which has
undertaken the task of raising the sunken
treasure galleons off the Spanish coast,
says the Philadelphia Press, were very
much encouraged yesterday to read the
following letter from John III. Boyle, one
of the agents of the company, who is in
Vigo, experimenting the work, to Phila.
delphia stakeholder. He says:
have located ten of the galleOns. The
statements made in regard to the treas
ure galleons, their positions, numbers,
ETC., are substantially correct, except as
to the sand bottom. The bottom is mud,
and plenty of it, which is to our adj
vantage.
The little land-locked bay in which the
galleons are sunk is about four miles long
and at its widest part, where the galleons
lay, is about one and One-half miles wide.
1t is surrounded on all sides by high
hills, rising in many cases to the proper
ton of mountains, which are terraced al
most to their SUBMITS by the industrious
peasants, who utilize every foot of space.
AS a consequence the washings have COW
cred the vessels with mud to the depth of
from ten to twenty feet. This it was that
paralyZed the efforts Of the French. They
never attempted to remove the mud from
any Of the vessels, but contented them
selves with sinking shafts through it,
penetrating the vessels, the divers using
them to work through. In this manner
they obtained what little they got-about
thirty tons of logwood, some large logs of
mahogany and a number of immense
anchors, cannon balls, ETC., which are now
lying at a villa on the bay side, which was
occupied by the officers of the French
company when here.
The failure of the French company to
OBTAIN any substantial results was due,
think, to their insufficient capital 100, 900
francs), to their want Of a proper outfit,
and the withdrawal of their engineer in
consequence of the Franco-Prussian war.
Their tug is still at Vigo, and, judging their
efforts by its size it is not larger than a
steamers life bOat), / do not wonder at
their want of success.
The idea of prominent contractor for
raising sunken ships, to whom | applied,
was to have the diver dig through the mud
to the decks, and then in the shaft thus
made to insert gun cotton and blow the
mud off. L asked him, ''Why not use dyn-
amiteY' He replied, THAT is entirely too
dangerous" did not tell him that in
the hands of our divers dynamite would
be as manageable as gun cotton, nor did
hint that our American diver, with his
system of pumps and pontoons, will be
able to raise any one of the sunken gal
Icons in a very short time.

A Story Showing That Greatness Should
Not Lean Too Heavily on Starch.
NsaC York Letter IN the Baltimore american.
Conkling is as unique as ever in per-
sOnal appearance, partly by reason of
good looks, which he isn't to be blamed
for, but in a considerable degree because
he dresses in a picturesque disregard of
the current fashions. 1 went into court
the other hot day to get a view of him.
He came in like planter of the old time
from a cOttOn-field, wearing a broad
Panama straw hat and a suit of some
thing thin and yellowIsh, similar to nam
keen. There was breezy nOn-conventiOn-
aity in the toilet, and to most observers
it might have passed for the careless
attire of a man who cared nothing for
style and everything for comfort. But
there was complete refutatiOn of that idea
in his shirt-frOnt, which reached from
shoulder to shoulder and chin to paunch,
covering the eX-SenatOr's ample expanse
of chest with a stiff. glistening shield and
nearly all exposed. because he wore no
waist-cOat. No man intent solely on the
palliatiOn of tOrrid torture would put or
a shirt starched like that. When the
court was opened and COnkling arose to
address the Surrogate, / think / had
never seen so much dignity embodied in
single human being. He was Hyperion
and AdOnis in one. That lasted about
four seconds. Then all his impressive
ness of port collapsed in a disaster so
complete, so irretTieYable that the proud
man was for once humbled.
How did it happen? Well, he had I'M
due confidence in that shirt bosom and
leaned forward Onit Briefly it supported
him in his grandeur and then it broke in
the middle, letting him half double up on
himself and leaving him to regain unaided
such cOmpOsure and cOmplacency as he
might from his downfall. On what inse-
cure props does greatness sometimes

Malarfal Poison.
n

AAOAn, OAss 4ud3 @os 1ODOs
With the hope that 1t will reach the eye
of other sufferers, desire to make state
ment of my case and my wonderful res
cue from death from malarial blood poi
son by the use of the great 5. S. S. (Swifts
Specific).
In 1880 came from the North to take
charge of the gas works in Rome, as Su-
perintendent, and after the overflow,
which occurred in the spring following,
/ was very much exposed to malarial
poison, and in 1882 found my blood so con-
taminated with the poison that | was
forced to give up business. l was treated
by the Rome physicians without relief,
they advising me to 60 North, which
did. The doctors North told me that my
only hope was to return to the milder eli
mate, and accordingly / came back to
Rome, completely broken down and near
ly a skeleton. Ny trouble finally deter
mined in an abscess of the liver, and
nearly every one myself included J,
thought was doomed to die within a few
days. In this condition l was advised by
a friend to take Swift's Specific, and
took it Just as drowning man would
catch at straw, but as soon as my sys-
tenn got under the influence of the RENE
dy, the abscess came to a point and burst,
passing of without pain. In fifteen days
after this was up at my work, and have
-since enjoyed excellent health.
Every sufferer from malarial poison
should take Swift's Specific.

ANNpIAN pEIdCAcY.
A Feat of Cookery That Astonished
Civilized Expert.
san francisco cAroaiols.


The Indians scattered along the foot
hills Of the Sierra, says a Nevada cor
respondent, are a quiet, inonensiye peo-
pie. They do not appear to be governed
by anv tribal laws, yet adhere to many OF
their old traditions. The tide Of industry
and civilization sweeping over and
around has left them greatly modified by
the contact, and although they retain the
original characteristics Of the race In
some respects they are much improved;
One or two men of superior ability and
industry form a nucleus around which
others less ambitious gather. Here, they
fence with brush and logs tract SUM-
Gent for their requirements of haymak-
ing. pasturage. etc. They invariably
build their cabins upon the most slightly
point, even when the spring that furnishes
their water is half way down the hill.
This habit has no doubt descended from
a warelike ancestry, and is no aesthetic
delight in hazy valleys and misty noun
tain tops. The gardens are not an
assured success when water is plentiful
and the weather propitiOus. They can
not always wait for their maturity.
Many Of them are industrious and find
remunerative work at housekeeping,
strengthening, etc.
Although they often indulge in the food
of civilized nations, the acorn is still
fayorite article Of diet in every we'll
regulated wigwam. The process of con-
verting this bitter nut into anything like
palatable bread is curious. Under the
branches of a grand old pine / found them
at work. They had shucked and ground
in the usual manner a large mass Of the
acorn meats; a number of circular watts
had been followed out Of the black soil,
much the shape of punch-bOwl. Into
these was put the acorn pulp. At hand
stood several large clothes-baskets filled
with water, and into these they dropped
hot stones, thus heating the water to the
required temperature. Upon the mass Of
/ crushed bitterness they carefully ladled
the hot water, making it about the color
and consistency of cream. Not speck
appeared to mix. A buxom muhdtd stood
| by each vat, and with a small fir bough
stirred the mass, skillfully removing any
/ speck that fiOated upon the surface. The
soil gradually absorbed the bitter waters,
leaving firm, white substance, of which
they made bread.
/ asked to taste it, at which they said
something in their language and all
| laughed. / asked again, and after more
4 laughter / was handed small particle
on a fg-leaf, and found it sweet and
/ palatable. They began to remove 1t,
| and so adroitly was this done that but a
small portion adhered to the soil. They
/ spread it upon the rocks, and in short
time it was fit for use. This, am told,
/ they mix with water, put it into thin
cakes and bake before the fire.

THE BOY WAS VERY SNAIL.
He " as TOw-headed, too, and he FGosed
with Hose, as Follows.
VI

Esss York SEA.
In busy part Of Fourteenth street, on
Saturday afternoon, a very small tow
headed boy espied a coil Of inch hose "
ing on the outer edge OF the sidewalk. The
brass nozzle, glistening in the sunlight,
seemed % fascinate him. For moment
he bent over il, as bird IS sai1 to hover
over the head Of serpent
when fascinated by the glitter Of the rep
tiles eve. Then he reached out his hand,
and he smiled when he found that the
bright and pretty thing was within his
reach. Grasping the nozzle, he drew il
toward him, sitting down in the opera
ton. Then he took a new and closer hold,
and tugged al the nozzle IS though irving
to raise himself to his feet. 1t happened
that one Of his hands clutched the stop
cock, and that the lower end Of the coil
was connected with a CrOtOn water pipe.
The st0pcOck turned easily. The half
inch stream struck the boy in the face,
and he went over backward. He still
chung with one hand to the nozzle, and
the stream smOte him in the right ear. He
tumbled over sidewise, and the water
spurted down the back Of his neck Then
he got on his feet and tried to put the hose
back as he had found il. AS he lifted the
nozzle up, the stream took an elderlyma
in the back Of the neck, who turned in
surprise, and got it fun in his face. Two
Hltle sIfls glggieu. Inc next moment the
small boy had fallen down and was
writing with the nozzle, ana Tne stream
was chasing the two little girls across the
street.
BY this time little crowd Of men, wo-
men and children had gathered. The
small boy tickled a cab horse in the flank
with his next twist Of the hose, and when
the horse began to kick he started to run
with the nozzle still in hislhand, and the
crowd fell back respectfully. A small
Skye terrier that had failed to compre-
bend the situation was drenched and sent
up the street ki-yi-ing. When the crowd
looked from the dog to the boy he had fall
len upon the hose, and the end of the
nozzle was concealed under him. Around
him the dampness was rapidly increas-
ing. The small boy seemed to be getting
desperate. He arose and made a mighty
effort to coil up the hose. As he swept the
points Of the compass with the nozzle
the crowd fell back, dampened and in dis
order.
A woman rushed out Of store. APP
parently she was the small boys mother
and had Just missed him. She hardly re-
cOgniZed him at first, but she acted with
great executive ability as soon as she had
made sure the boy was hers. After she
had walked him about half a block it oc-
CURED to him to cry, and he did.

porter of the banking concern, carrying
a peck basket in either hand. The porter
was the custodian of $1,000, 600. Next
came the Office boy with books and papers
representing $4,000, 900. In the rear was
a man with a push-wagon on which were
piled 81, 800, 600. These effects belonged to
the late firm of Grant s Ward. The most

A STORY OF Nj. PAsTEUR.
With a Brief Description of His Curious
Laboratory in the French Capital.

AZ bHC AAPAb0As
Paris Letter in the Mean York Post.
NJ. Pasteur is at present entirely de-
voted to his experiment on the wretched
animals which he has inoculated with
hydrophobia. Day and night, in his labo-
ratory in the Rue d'Ulm or in an isolated
building which the government has placed
at his disposition in the Rue Vauquelin,
he bends over the curiously constructed
cages in which dogs and monkeys in vari-
Gus stages of ''rage" await his investiga-
ton. The cages are all made very strong,
with double doors, and openings in the
top through which the animals can be
taken out. In a great red book the illus
trious seeker after truth keeps what he
calls the Register Of witnesses" Each
animal is for him a "witness,D and the
biography of every one experimental on
is carefully written down. s'Trepanned
the -. Inoculated the -. Died the
-" Such is the brief and sombre his
tory of the creatures which pass through
NJ. Pasteur's hands.
NJ. Pasteur tells good story in connec-
ton with his experiments in hydrophobia
/ believe he does not admit the correct
ness of this word, but we will continue to
use it here): One day he received letter
from distant French province. A man
in humble circumstances wrote to him
that on such date he had been bitten by
a mad dog. In spite of speedy cauteriZa-
ton the symptoms Of rage had shown
themselves; and this unknown would-be
martyr offered himself simply and without
heroic phrase to Pasteur for his expert
ments. 81 will come" he said, ''to Paris
and place myself in a hospital at your
orders; there you may study me at your
will" NJ. Pasteur at once telegraphed to
this worthy man that the malady with
which he believed himself infected was
purely imaginary; that, according to the
dates given in his letter, the period of
incubation Of the virus had long ago
passed by and that he should not worry
concerning a hydrophobia which was
practically impossible. The event proved
that NJ. Pasteur was absolutely correct.
