TREASURES FROM THE DEEP.
Cannon Raised From a Vessel Sunk
Over 800 Years Ago.

From the Irish Times.
very curious cargo has just been
brought to Cork on the steamer Mayfower
1t was nothing less than dozen cannon
that have been raised from the bottom of
the sea in Dunworley bay, off the coast Of
Cork after having lain there for upward Of
800 wears. For the past fortnight diving
operations have been going on in Dunwor-
ley bay with view to the recovery of GER
tain treasure sunk in Spanish vessels that
went to the bottom over 300 years ago.
The facts of what led up to this remarka
Bile discovery are of interest 1t appears
that two well-known Cork gentlemen,
Messrs j. Mulcahy and T. r. Holland, re-
ceived precise information about two Span
ish ships-one of them pirate-that were
lost in Dunworley bay over 300 years ago,
and, after consulting with Mr.. Ensor, salv-
age contractor of Queenstown. who placed
his diving gear at their disposal, they form
ed a small syndicate tof explore the bay
and seek for the treasure OF the sunken
ships. They secured for this purpose the
services of Mr. Patrick Collins, diver we'll
known in connection with the raising of
the nghtship Putin, that foundered some
time ago off the coast OF Cork, and placed
the superintendent of the operations in the
hands of Capt. jeremiah Collins, an able
and experienced navigator, with the result
that the sunken Spanish ships have been
discovered ana the uO1eH Drought TO
the surface and landed at Cork. The infor-
nation received by iMessrs. Mulcahy and
Holland as to the whereabouts of the sunk
en- ships was evidently most perfect and
very little difficulty was experienced in To-
eating the vessels at the bottom of Dun
worley bay. 1t is now believed that ere
long there will be brought to the surface
something of far greater intrinsic value
than old cannon, and 1t is intended to en-
ploy dynamite to aid in securing the tlIried
treasure which the sunken ships are re-
puted to contain. The cannon are in a Won
derful state of preservation after being 400
years in the water.

from the Chicago Record.
When the Park Ridge schools closed for

piratical flow of language that makes the
offender move to safe distance. But if
one manifests a friendly interest in learn
ing about the good record of the gun he
will find that there is no surer or quicker
road to Jackes heart and that he can be
eloquent by the hour in praise OF the fine
points of his favorites.
All this is wisely ordered, The American
system of gunnery in all its details stands
vindicated and upheld before the world
and in future years, when the history of
this war is treated dispassonately, prom

Revived on the Dissectfng Table
From the London Standard

The dissecting room of the Military Hos
pital of Algiers has Just witness ID the re-
suscitation of soldier who had been sup
posed to be dead for three days. 1t was
at the very moment when the professor OF
surgery was about to dissect the supposed
corpse that the soldier suddenly awoke
from prolonged lethargy. The three per-
sons who witnessed the scene were struck
with such amazement that they were at
first unable to do anything. 1t was not
until after they had seen the supposed
corpse quietly slip off the marble slab on
which ne was to have been dissecsed and
go into an adjoining room to write a few
words on sheet of paper to assure him.
self that he was really alive and awake
that the doctor and his assistants came to
his aid. 1t is stated that the recovery OF
the soldier is absolutely complete.

MAN BEHIND THE GUN
! His Skill and Devotion Wins Big Naval Vic
tories.
Changed Attitude Nowadays Toward
Jackie His Heroism
Lauded.

There is an old gunner's mate on the bat
tie ship Oregon who has been in the service
for over thirty years. He polished and
cared TO the nine-inch smooth-bore guns
OF the old navy, transferred his affections
to the wicked sixty-pounders when they
were iE vogue, and has finally adopted as
his pet and pride one of the monster thir-
teen-inch beauties of the Oregon. He can
not read word and signs the payma ster's
rolls with cross, yet he knows the intri-
cate mechanism of a breechioader as a
scholar does the alphabet, and he can hit
a canvas bulls eye 2,O00 yards away with
an 1,1Oo pound projectile easily as an
expert pool player can make pocket.
The Oregon's Decisive Shots.
When the Inflated ships of Admiral Ger
vera's fleet poked their noses past MORO
Castle in their desperate and theatrical at
tempt to escape from Santiago harbor. this
grizzled old gunner's mate was engaged in
his usual task, that Of lovingly shining up
the glossy coat of his thirteen-inch pride.
When the cry went up that the enemy was
escaping and the drums and buges and
eongs hastily sounded general quarters, he
gave a few finishing touches to the muz-
zie then quietly took his station in the tur-
ret. Presently turning to young seaman
gunner next to him he said: Charlie, Ill
bet you Il months pay that ] make q better
shot at the Dago beggars than you. What
dye say"
Done" was the prompt reply. Ten min
utes later the old gunners mate squlnted
his eye along the sight, signaled the man
at the training lever to ease on little,
took the range from the officer in charge
of the division, then gave the firing lanyard
a quick jerk. When the smoke lifted the
eager watchers saw great yawnlng hole
in the port bow of the Almirante OQuendo.
A cheer came from the men in the turret,
and the old veteran glanced triumphantly
toward the seaman gunner. The latter
turn soon came. The Oquendo, battered
and helpless drifted ashore in flames. The
Oregon, accompanied by the Brooklyn,
sped on after the fleet-footed Colon. The
rapid-fire batteries of both American ships
ratified and shrieked after the fugitive. The
eight-inch guns rumbled an unceaSing cho-
rus as they belched forth their steel shells,
and occasionally a deeper roar from the
thirteen-inch monsters would give might
ier volume to the din
1t was after one of the latter shots that
the forward turret of the Oregon echoed
with q rouSng cheer. Charlie, the young
seaman gunner. had just dropped the firing
lanyard from his hand and 1t was seen
that the Colons coming tower was in ruins.
He told me before he pulled the lanyard
that he would fetch it, exclaimed one of
the guns crew admiringly. land he did
These shots. absolutely marvellous under
the circumstances, were fired by men rep
resenting the two extremes of the service.
The old gunner's mate gained his skill
through years of experience; the seaman
CUR ner scarcely of age. was the product
OF modern system of training. But both
were American gunners, and that term
means something these days,
