TALE OF AN ANCIENT BELL.
Romance of Stolen Treasure Given by
Skipper of Schooner.

| Romance of Stolen Treasure Given by
Skipper of Schooner.
A bell with history was stolen from
the British schooner, Attiactor, Capt.
William Scott, which arrived at Jer-
sey City recently from Kingston, ia
maica, with a load of cocoanuts. The
bell weighed about 200 pounds. and
how it was removed from the schooner
without attracting attention is a mys-
terry that neither Capt. Scott nor any
of his crew can explain.
That the bell has history is shown
| by the fact that it bore the inscrip-
| ton, prince of Wales, 1I40." Where
| it was cast is not known, any more
! than the manner of it's disappearance.
| 1t was slowed in the after hold and the
| hatch was down. bui not fastened.
when the officers and crew retired on
Saturday night. When they arose yes
terday morning the after hatch was
open and the bell was missing. The
fact was reported to the police. but they
were unable to solve the mystery.
Concerning the bell Capt. Scott tells
an INTERESTING II was AOhiIu OlA
reef in Kingston harbor six weeks
ago by two fishermen. This reef. Capt.
Scott say, is rarely visited. because the
water about it is so rough that fishing
in its vicinity is impractica5le. There
came n rare day about the middle of
May Wien the water on the reef was
as smooth as glass. and two fishermen
visited the place. While they were
fishing one of them peered over the
stern of the boat. The water was only
eight feet Geep and remarkably clear.
Wedged among the rocks was a dark
object that aroused his curiosity. He
at once dived from the stern of the
boat. and on coming to the surface he
told his companions that the thing was
bell and that there was big iron
chest near 1t.
The fishermen at once rOwed to shore
and informed the British authorities at
Kingston of their discovery. An In
vestigation was at once set afoot. The
chest. Capt. Scott says. coniained Mex
lean gold coins to the value OF $4,000.
They were mintcd from 1900 TO lI35,
the latest date on any Of them. The
bell was so wedged between two rocks
that blasting was necessary to release
it, and in this way the bell was crack
ed on both sides from the rim almost to
the top. 1t will no longer ring and
is only valuable as relic. The coins
were escheated to the government, af-
ter paying the fishermen the share tn
which they were entitled, but the King
ston authorities decided to send the bell
to London to be presented to King Ed
ward VII.
1t is believed that the bell once be-
longed to a British ship called the
Prince of Wales and that the date on
the bell -1T4o- indicates the year in
which she was built. and that she was
afterward wrecked on the reef where
! the bell and chest were found. There
was no record at Kingston of any such
| vessel or of her loss.--Ncw York Times.

In a few moments the flies settled

ENORMOUS DEMAND Fer STEEL.
European Manufacturers Now Selling
1t to Americans.


Chicago is importing steel and iron
from Scotland and continental Europe,
and the importers say the product is laid
down more quickly 4 the domestic
manufacturers can fill the orders.
Within the last week 10000 tons Of Eu-
ropean steel billets have been received
in Chicago. and the custom house reports
show importations of structural steel and
iron. Several Chicago construction con-
Germs admit they recently have placed
large orders with European mills for
structural steel and iron, and this mate
rial is expected to arrive within the hext
two months.
In view Of the demand from America
fer their products, foreign manufactur-
els of structural iron have changed the
character OF their product to meet the re-
du;rements of American construction. and
have issued new price lists to the Amer
lean and Chicago trade. American con-
struction steel and iron is much lighter
than that used abroad. and as result,
in order to supply the demand. European
mills have reduced the weight of their
output.
