found myself in lower hold which
had been used as a second and larger
treasure chamber. The forward end
was piled solid with bars, three inches
square by fourteen inches.long, which
proved to be ingots Of pure silver; and
in boxes, all around, were globe dollars

pieces of Philip ", dollars from the
Mexican mint, bearing simply the
Spanish arms, and even four-real

the treasure had been gold, on account

bag of cocoa mating, and was raking

Why IL Wa Named Rabher.

A recent report from British con-
sui in one OF the Central American
states gives the following as the origin
of the name rubber as applied TO
caoutchoue: An English artist ciscoy-
cred In ITO that the new gum was ad-
mirably adapted for rubbing out pen
ell marks. He wrote paper on the
subject, and informed his contempt
raries that a cubic inch OF this sub
stance, costing only three shillings,
would last for years. 1t was used for
no other purpose in England than ef-
facing lead pencil marks for about halt
a century after this discovery, hence
the name rubber" After the introduc-
ton OF the raw material and the sci
entific description Of the plant by
Frenchmen, IL was manufactured INTO
