the lance is effective as a weapon of war.
During the campaign he devoted his en-
tire attention to this subject, and now
he has returned home and forwarded to
his government an official report thereon.
In it he says that wounds caused by
lance are not dangerous, and are easily
cured, and that the reason is because
the iron point of the weapon is round
and therefore passes through the organs
Of the body without injuring tnem to any
great extent. Being such a humane
weapon he points out, the lance is by
no means as valuable in war as is gem
orally supposed. Nevertheless, 1t can be
made dangerous weapon by merely
changing the form of it's point, and II
the military authorities decide to retain
1t as a portion Of the equipment of cav
airy this should certainly be DONE
This suggestion is exciting a good deaf
of comment in Europe. The Frankfort
Gazette apparently is appalled, at the
thought Of Transforming humane weap-
on into q cruel one, says sarcastically:
1--WE propose that the point of the lance
be made of such shape that it will lac
crate every organ in the body and rem
der the cure of every wound utterly inn
possible. Furthermore, it will be wen for
the authorities to seriously consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of impregnating the point of
the lance with some deadly poison

When the ships of the Armada which
British shot and British storms had Iafr
af1oat went fleeing from Drake and How
ard around the northern end of Scotland
there he'd with them the great treasure
ship Adrimal of Florence. Cruising
down along the wild Scottish coast the
mighty Admiral was wrecked on the coast
OF Argyllshire and sunk in not deep water
IN Loeb nuan, an inlet on that Storm
teaten shore. A hundred years ago the
then Duke of Argyll began work on the
wreck with the intention of recovering
her treasure But when he was informed
that the crown would claim any and all
tnat he might find, he stopped the worl,
ne had begun and said of the treasure
Let it lie there" A hundred wears
passed and there came a new Duke of
Argyll and new laws regarding treasure
trove.
The Duke of Argyll, who now reigns in
the place Of his fathers is the brother-fn-
law of King Edward and his estates
spread over many thousand acres, but
he is poor-so poor that he has had 10
let his ancestral castle of Invegary ana
curtail his living expenses generally.
Then it was that he thought of the treas
ure OF the Admiral Of Florence and de-
termined to recoup the fortunes Of his
ancient house by gathering the gold and
precious stones from beneath the waves
Of Loeb Duan. He began to make
elaborate preparations for exploring the

for the recovery of the treasure. Three
men from Philadelphia are said to have
done the little trick and to have be-
come mllionaires by their treasure hunt
ing. The rumor has now almost ceased
to be a ruInor merely, for people of
standing declare that they have informa
ton which can be, relied upon to the ef-
feet that the remarkable story is true.
The Selling Of these sunken millions
from under the noses of the Duke of
Argyll and the British government makes
q story in which Robert Louis Stevenson
would have delighted and illustrates tie
Yankee characteristic Of being wide
awake The treasure shipped in the
Iutine a hundred years ago to aid Eu-
rope in her struggle against Napoleon,
and the gold, silver and precious stones
with which Philip OF Spain loaded the
great Admiral of Florence when she set
sail with the armada for the conquest of
England over three hundred years ago
are believed to be now, in part or in
whole, either in Philadelphia or on their
way there. The ports they have reach
ed is far, far from the ports for which
they were intended, and the uses to
which the treasure will be put will be far
removed from the ones for which they
were designed.

AT the same time it became widely
known that the British government, after
nearly century Of negotiations with
Holland, finally acquired all rights n the
wreck of the sunken Lutine and made
a contract with LIoyds to recover the
treasure which was in her when she
