TREASURES FROM THE DEEP.
Cannon Raised From a Vessel Sunk
Over 300 Years Ago.
From tie Irish Times

A very curious cargo has just been
brought to Cork on the steamer Mayiow-
err. 1t was nothing less than dozen can
non that have been raised from the bottom
Of the sea in Dunworley bay, off the coast
of Cork, after having lain there for up
ward of 800 years. For the past fortnight
diving operations have been going on in
Dunworley bay with a view to the recov-
cry of certain treasure sunk in Spanish
vessels that went TO the bottom over 800
years ago
The facts of what led up to this remarka-
BILE discovery are of interest 1t appears
that two well-known Cork gentlemen,
Aiessrs. j. Mulcahy and T. r. Holland
received precise informauon about two
Spanish ships-one of them a pirate-that
were lost IN Dunworley bay over 300 years
ago, and, after consulting with Mr.. En-
sor salvage contractor of Queenstown, who
placed his diving gear at their disposal,
they formed a small syndicate to explore
the bay and seek for the treasure of the
sunken ships. They secured for this pur-
pose the services of Mr.. Patrick Collins
a diver well known In connection with
the raising of the lightship Putin, that
foundered some time ago off the coast
of Cork and placed the superintendent of
the operations in the hands of Capt Jere-
miah Collins, an able and experienced nav
isator with the result that the sunken
Spanish ships have been discovered and
the dozen cannon brought to the surface
and landed at Cork. The information re-
ceived by Mossrs. Mulcahy and Holland
as TO the whereabouts of the sunken ships
was evidently most perfect, and very little
difficulty was experienced IN locating the
vessels at the bottom OF Dunworley bay
II is now believed that ere long there viii
be brought to the surface something of far
greater intrinsic value than old cannon,
and H. IS intended 10 employ dynamite 20
aid Ia securing the buried treasure which
the sunken ships are reputed to contain.
The cannon are in a wonderful state Of
preservation after being 800 years in the
wafer.

DEMONIACAL PERFORMANCE.
Wonderful Electric Act Evolved by
Two CaIifOrnians.
From the San Franclgco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
After seven years of almost constant
work Frank II. Sharp and his brother, w.
f. Sharp have produced some wonderful
effects In what they call an electric fire"
act. They have not yet made their appear
ance before the public, but are almost
ready to do so. AT present they are prac-
tlclng in a deep cellar on the corner of
Third and Howard streets.
And what wonderful place this cellar
is during rehearsals.
Before they begin the large cavern is in
semi-darkness. The whizzing of some sort
of electric machine can be heard In the
distance.
Dressed In the classic costumes that are
supposed to be worn by the inhabitants of
the Internal region, the two brothers sud
denly step from behind two tall stands and
advance a few steps. Each carries a queer
looking lamp that shows not the faintest
sign Of light. But the moment each touch
es his lamp 10 the others both suddenly
burst into flame
Then commence all sorts Of q leer demon
iacal goings-on. Wherever the finger of
one touches the body of the other there Is
O pyrotechnic display.
In an innocent manner one touches the
lips Of the other. III an instant a wave of
flame rolls out of his mouth and roars wild
ly. There are dozens of other tricks of
equal strangeness, and IL would seem as il
the demon of fire lurked somewhere In the
depths Of the cellar. ready at a moments
notice to change the air into flame. Fire
seems to come out of the darkness al will.
One moment there Is nothing but an inky
vault, with two figures moving mysterious
~ about In an instant there Is fire every
where, and the strange thing is the actors
do not get burned.
About the prettiest and weirdest act
these two young men produce is causing
glow OF a vacuum tube merely by contact
with one nnothor's body. When one
OF these tubes Is held by the end Ia the
hands OF the boys 1t Is an ordinary Hook
ing glass tube. But let the other touch "
and az once II seems 20 spring into life.
Prom one end 10 the other II an rides
cent glow, beautiful 90 behold. The instant
one iets 60 al Is darkness.
