in MarshaIltoWn.


Marshalltown, March PA new di-
vision of the International Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers was
formed in this city last Sunday at a
meeting held at the German Odd Eel

erintendent of motive power and
equipment. The division will be
known as George d. Brooke, No. 600.
A division of the Brotherhood was
formerly located in this city, but when
the runs of the Central were rear
ranged under a former management,
so that the greater number of the en-
gineers had their headquarters at o.
kalCOsa, Marshall division was chang
ed from this city to Oskaloosa. The
engineers whose headquarters are in
this city are now sufficient in number
to maintain an organization. The
meetings of the division will be held
on the second and fourth Sundays of
each month. Acting officers have
been chosen as follows:
Chief Engineer, JIM. Speer.
First Engineer, T. G. Clegg.
Second Engineer, S. Swanson.
Third Engineer, Robert Holt.
First Assistant Engineer, Robert
McMains.
Second Assistant Engineer, D. J..

The only real chance of a fortune
among all the sunken treasure"
searches that so much has been heard
about was missed by less than an
hour, when it lay plain in view, prom
Using certainly many thousands of
pounds. This was the Spanish galleon
at Trinidad, which was discovered by
accident six years ago in a sheltered
bay of the island. 1t was lying on
the bottom, partly broken up, in two
OR three fathoms of water, and a small
case of gold pieces and silver ingots
was grappled up and proved worth
about $4,000. The rest of the treasure
was more difficult to get up, and the
finder, an Englishman named Bryand,
the owner of the trading brig Bar
needle, went at once to Rio and
fitted out a small steamer with pro
per apparatus and diving dresses. This
took a couple of months, and on the
way back to the spot where the gal
leon lay the steamer encountered a
terrific storm from the east northeast
"a rare quarter in the latitude to get
a hurricane from. The vessel nearly
foundered, bat when the storm clear
ed away and the island was reached it
was found that the sunken wreck had
disappeared, all but few remnants,
the hurricane and resulting tidal
wave having dragged it out into deep
water, and it was never found. A
single case of precious metals was re-
covered worth about $1,000.

Liquid Oxygen.

Liquid oxygen when first formed is
milky in appearance owing to the pres
ence of some impurity which may be
removed by passing it through ordi-
nary filter paper. When pure, it is of
Il pale blue color, which, however, is
not due, as some have thought, to the
presence of liquid ozone, which is of a
dark blue color. Liquid oxygen is a
nOnconductor Of electricity, but is
strongly magnetic. 1t may be lifted
from cup by presenting the poles of
a strong electro magnet. 1t seems to
have very slight chemical activity.
since it will eXtinguish Il lighted ma tch
and has 10 action on a piece of phOs
phOrus dropped into it, 1t is well
known that the A and b lines of the
solar spectrum are due to oxygen. and
from experiments on the top of Mont
Blanc it is thought they are largely if
not wholly due to the oxygen in the
earth's atmosphere. Professor Dewar
showed that these lines come out very
strong when liquid oxygen is inter
posed in the path of the rays from an
electric lamp.
