TIE SEARCH ron rHE TREASURE
Facts That Verified Charles Har-
ford'4 Remarkable Discovery.


victoria, B. c.. Nov. 4 4-some further
facts were disclosed today IN the lemaIk-
able story OF the $40 100000 burledtIeas
ure on C9cos Island in the Pacific and
for which the warship ImpeIeuse was sent
she las i5st returned without it.
Charles HarfoId, the reputed discoyerer
Of the island. who had the chart showing
the location Of the buried wealth directed
Operations. After the waIshlp arrived az
TIE island no time was lost in beginning
work under Hairord's directions and with
the aid OF his nuch-discussed chart.
The digging was Commenced at 3 spot
Indicated on the chart and designated by
Hartford. At depth Of i've or six feet he
said, a large flat stone or slab would be
discovered, eut OF which he had previously
clnsIed the Distinguishing number that il
had originally rorne.
The slab was found at the depth lie
named, aud there was no lack OF energy
in compliance when Hartford next gave
the order to dig ten or twelve inches
deeper when tsanel would be struck,
Leading to tre cal "a Of gold ana jewels
The continuous Taln made the work ex-
treEnsly dIfficultS but 1t was nevertheless
continued until d depth OF teu feet was
reached with no disclosures.
At this point large overhanging 1oek
was seen To sway from undermining. and
Lieut.. Lee retired his men just in time to
avoid serious fatality. The rock com
pletely filled the exca rauon made and neu-
tralized the work already done.
Instead OF blasting out the distractions
ana continuing olHrat0ns according 40
the original pian, Admiral Paliiser ordered
a blast in tre hilsiti; itself, and this being
carried out without result, the Impereuse
turned hona ward despite the pleadings OF
Harr1rd. Tie admiral said it vas in!possi
hIc - remain longer from headquarters.
Practically the Impereuse's s crew are CON
vefted TO Hartford belief that the treasure
is there, and when Hartford was landed at
san Jose de Guatemala on the voyage
homeward he prevailed upon the com
mander OF the United States steamship
Alert to return with him and take up
the hunt.
Liet. Lee says the story told in Har-
ford's chart is in every way confirmed by
the discoveries made by his command. but
it will be practically impossible now to
recover the vast secreted wealth without
numerous working force.

DISCARDED CHIMNEYS.
A Definite Vacuum Is Now Held Upon All
Fires,

One of the most remarkable changes
noted at present in the manufacturing
industry is the giving up of the Chin
ney to produce draught, and though, of
course, Il chimney offers so simple and
efficient q means of making the requi-
site draught for the fire, it is stated that
in one of the large works of England
locality not mentioned-chimneys have
been discarded and definite vacuum is
held upon all fires. In this way the
products of combustion and destructive
distillation which result from the burn
ing of coal and carbonaceous matter are
collected, cooled, condensed and worked
up. One of the methods noted as at
tracing attention in Germany consists
in sucking the gases of the furnaces
away and allowing them to pass
through water in the form of small bub-
blcs, which removes the SCOT and some
of the products of combustion, the gases
being then led to Il gasometer, from
which they are drawn into the process
of utilization. A manufacture of this
kind, it is urged, can easily extend pipes
in any direction and draw the gases of
combustion from their manufacturers
tho publication of the atmosphere
thus assured being another important
result. "a
