My father always spoke of Lord Nelson

All royal navy men training for the

After busy and noisy period so much

set forth to recover when the gunboats
have done their task and return to the
dockyard. The ranges and the area in
which the cannon balls most probably lie
submerged are, of course, well known to
the searchers. Armed with experience and
a long, iron-shot pole, they sail over the
ranges and probe the shallow bottom care

them skillful, and an expert knows I'm an

projectile beneath.

lowered into the sea, and IL Is gripped and
carefully lifted aboard. The price of the
metal shells Is slight and rarely exceeds
one penny half-penny a pound. but the
brass studs on the shot possess consider
ably more value, and these are usually
cut out intact. Both studs and the main
iron Of the recovered shells are sold 10 the
royal navy, and the prices offered appear
sufficient to set many men a steady work

Interesting Questions.
London, May A.-The correspondent of
the Morning Post at The Hague says:
The question of international law is
likely to be discussed by the conference.
An eminent professor says that interna-
tional jurisdiction has never been official
ly recognized despite the resolutions of
peace congresses, nor can an International
agreement bind nations TO enforce DEGREES
pronounced according to such law.
The code prepared for the submission
to the conference provides that the auton-
omy of nations is inviolable, that there is
no right of conquest as between them
that they possess the right of legitimate
defense, and are subject TO the same prn-
cpies Of law and equity as individuals

nations are 10 be settled by legal meth
