A woMAN'S LOFTY CLIMB.
How Mrs. Workman Got to the Top of a
22,56S-Foot Peak.

Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman, Gaugl-
ter of former Gov. Andrew ID. Bullock
of Massachusetts, is known rs the
worlds greatest mountain climber and
explorer. Word comes from India that
she has just broken her first high record
Of 2l000 feet twice in one day during
her explorations this season of the
Himalayas.
These giant mountains climbed by her
are two shew. peaks looming Aigh above
the Chogo LOongma glacier and border
ing the distant province Of Hunza-
Nagye.
Starting at 3 a. m. August II, by
moonlight, from the highest camp, at
1885 feet. and ascending over the
sharpest of snow slants. the party, cor
sisting of DIR. and Mrs. Workman and
the three noted Italian guides, j. I'eti-
gax. C.. Savoie and l.. Pctgax, climbed
steadily until long after daylight, and
at Z a. m. this indOmitable American
woman climber stood on top of her first
peak of the day. 21,770 feet high.
After half an hours halt for scientific
observations and photography the party
descended this mountain a short distance
and, traversing a long snow arete,
assembled Il still higher peak which lay
beyond, and ut 10 Il. III, in cloudless
weather. Mrs. Workman scored her
greatest record. and stood mt 2256S feet
above sea level.
The heights OF these mountains have
been computed with the utmost scientific
accuracy. On the day of the ascents
hypsometfic and mereurial barometer
readings were taken on the SUBMITS
themselves, and also by government
official at the lower station of Skardu.
The climbing of these Himalayan
mountains was not accomplished by
camping on grass or rocks 10 10000 feet,
as in the Andes. but by continued diff

RICHES FROM THE SEA BOTTOM.
Turks Getting Fine Fortune from I
Sunken Treasure Ship.

Readers have heard of the search UNI
dertaken by Greek divers under the
Turkish government and the treasure dis
covered in the Russian admirals ship,
sunk at Tcherman at the time of the
nayal battle of ITO, when the Turkish
fleet was completely destroyed.
The search has continued with striking
success. These fortunate divers have be-
come rich, but the Turkish government
also has obtained some large amounts, ip-
asmueh as it has reserved for itself the
hons share.
The fact is that the Russian vessel,
which sank in a depth of thirty fathoms,
abounds i'll pieces of gold and silver. AT
first the divers paid attention to the for
mer only, of which they found full sacks.
These pieces are mostly single, double
and quadruple ducats.
lit already has been announced that on
the first shipment to Constantinople tho
divers obtained for their part the sum of
276,000 francs. The daily work of the
divers amounts to from 5000 to 10000
pieces Of gold. A special boat of the adj
miralty, manned by officers of the Turk-
ish navy and by government inspector,
is stationed continually at this point.
Each sack drawn from the water is reg
istered, the pieces counted and receipt
given TO the divers.
1t appears that the bottom of the sea IS
strewn with silver pieces, which have The
dimensions and the weight of French
crowns of francs. Besides this money
the divers have drawn up various other
nsSeaus objects, gold and silver crosses,
" Hela, images, swords. canes, especially
an evangel, of which the binding of gold
is ornamenIeu with precious stones of
great value.
This is not the first time that such en-
terprises have been undertaken for the
purpose of discovering riches buried in
the sea, but hey have seldom yielded the
desired results 1t would be difficult 10
give even summary of the innumerable
fortunes engulfed. Among others an
English bark, which foundered in 1872
off the coast of Holland, had on board
ingots of gold and silver valued at abo1t
10000, 900, of which n very small part
was recovered The Royal Charter went
down near the Moefram with cargo
worth 100000.
The greatest fortune engulfed was in
the shipwreck of French sailing vessel
off the coast of Trafalgar. 1t carried Il
ton and half OF gold plates and five
tons of silver plates, whose destination
was the famous Cathedral of St. Jean de
Matte There were also a large number
of precious stones, designed to embellish
some relics contained in the cathedral, as
well as to adorn various religious objects
belonging to cnevaliers of the order and
kept by them In their chapel.-Jewelers'

an Epidemic OF Cancer.

Jonathan Hutchinson, during his re-

observations on disease, and he COM.
ments upon them in his usual interesting
way. In the Polytechnic for May appears
an editorial on the cause OF cancer

DR.. Elnaslie attributed the disease to a
curious local custom OF the inhabitants
of Kashmir. 1t seems that Kasl,mir
(which is an elevated valley among high
mountainsl has severe winter climate
and the natives carry what is called
kangri.
This is a small brazier, filed with
burning charcoal. and is carried under

writer's have described this peculiar ems
tom, and reference is made to it In The
British Encyclopaedia.
Recently some valuable additions 70

been made by DR.. Neve, the head OF a
mission station at kashmir. He proves
that the disease is common, for he refers
to nearly 500 cases. These cases point
