ton being made it was found that, hidden

Of the river bottom. The whole pieces were
plates, cups and sauccrs, bowls and two
or three pitchers, all of rare old blue ware
and Of different makes and designs.
How the Crockery was lost in the river is
n mystery. which is made deeper by the
fact that it was found beneath fifteen
feet OF mud and sand, ,rt total depth If
bet ween twenty y-six and twenty-erht feet
belo W the surface Of the river at low water.
No one can more than guess how long
1t had been there. but in all probability
the ware has lain undiSturbed i'll the river
bottom for at least fifty or sixty years.
This submarine mine OF crockery was To-
Gated between 800 and 1000 feet below
the new Pennsylvania Railroad bridge at
Bridesburg, in the middle of the river, on
the crest of Five Mile bar.
A few thinkers were found at the same
point. but nothing to indicate that they were
part of the frame of vessel which had
sunk and rotted away Yet the number OF
dishes found seems to be conclusive evidence
that they were part of the cargo of vessel
arriving from foreign parts. The packages
containing the dishes may have fallen
overheard from the deck &c some vessel,
but the location is not one that was ever
used for dlscharging CargCes. The only
thing found that could be said with any
certainty to have been part of the packages
containing the crockcry, was one end OF Il
crate. and 20 that no one paid anyattcntiOn.
1t was difficult to ascertain what kind
OF ware the dishes fished up from the
river bottom Were. They were in very
good state of preservation, notwithstanding
the years they had been buried beneath
the water and sand. Sumo of the pieces
were almost perfect, and on none We're
tie coloriugs dimmed particle. A few
were little discolored in spots and the
glaze of most of them was slightly era Cked.
It was generally agreed by experts to
whom the dishes were shown that the ware
was English, but the estimates of the age
vaned from sixty to 100 years. None of
the pieces was hand painted. all being
stamped with the design, and as the designs
were conventional and not particularly
artistic the ware does not have any great
value to collectors.

collection of ceramics at Memorial Hail.

authorities in the country an old china and

it was Staffortishire stone china or white
china, a grade of earthenware made from
1885 to 1910. Pieces bearing the name Of
Wedgewood, he said, We're not made by
the celebrated Josiah Wedgewood, who
died in 1898, but probably by some member
of the same family.

"A gigantic threefold plan for taking
Havana and all of Cuba at once was Of
fered to a band OF Influential Cubans. Its
only objection is the cost, but money seems
plentiful for all Cuban enterprises.
The plan is threefold one. 1t is to
be worked at sea, on land and in the air.
This is the way it is laid ont, and it might
be useful thing for the United States War
Department to have upon its books for ref
erence.
Upon the sea three torpedo boats would
do their deadly work. There is no fight
ing them except with other torpedoes, aud
the torpedo plan is unknown in other coun-
tries. There would he no opposition to
Cuban torpedoas.

CUBANS' THANKSGIVING IN HAVANA
Only Dynamite Is Lacking to Make Such a
Celebration Possible.

The little torpedo boat would come
to the surface, receive its supplies from
some good old warrior vessel, say The
Three Friends. 1t would then sink and
steam away.
The Three Friends is so closely watched
that I could never get over the border with
dynamite. But the torpedo would go under
the border, not over it. Should n Spanish
man-of-war interfere the torpedo could lire
at the boat and sink it, and the dynamite
would be landed off the coast next day ut
sunri Sc
Gomez and Maceo, receiving each por-
ton, would la siege To the city. and Havana
would fail. The treachery within would
lead to an opening Of the gates, and the
city would lie at the feet Of the invaders,
and that would mean free Cuba at once
and the birth of another nation with the
birth Of a new year. This is the latest plan.
Some OF the means OF warfare offered
for Thanksgiving present To Cuba are
maryelously ingenious. Most of them ar.
rive with a little note saying that by this
means Cuba can know THANKSGIVING such
as it could not know otherwise.

The plan is 10 land armed men in the

bers that they can hold their own and
cut their way to the entrance and admit
the army, or they can subjugate the town
and be ready 10 receive the remainder OF
the forces as they enter.
The plan OF firing them into the city in
bombs Is an admirable one. And the man
who invented it worked it from the neigh
borhood OF Pixies Peak into the valley,
and againfromthcv valley into til g mo untaigs,
and always with success He placed three
men fully armed in each bomb and fired
the projectile eco feet. The men landed,
cut the bomb and emerged in perfect .on,li-
tlon with not minutes dizziness. The en-
tire outside was provided with inflated
rubber tires, So to speak, so that the bomb
could land with no force. There were
countless numbers of tlege tires, so that

working order as soon as the work can
possibly be executed, which will not
take any longer than a month or so.
