A century later military architect,
francesca de Marchi of Bologna, eX-
plored the lake himself, making use
of a sort of diving bell, the construc-
ton of which he does not explain,
having promised the inventor to keep
it secret. He hauled up part Of the

he took out a piece of red enamel

the first boat Signor Borghi found.
Then nothing more was done for
nearly three centres, when in 1927
Cavaliere Anesio Fusconi tackled the
galley with diving bell. His attempt
came to an untimely end after he had
spent $4,000 on it, owing to thieves
carrying off all his apparatus during
the winter months. Among the things
Fusconi brought up were bronze
capital, forty terra Gotta tablets, iron
and bronze nails, pieces of enamel and
marble from mosaics, fragment of

HALF PLUM, HALF CHERRY.
South Dakota Man Has Strange Tree

South Dakota Man Has Strange Tree
That Yields Delicious Fruit.
James Warke of Miller S. D., has .
cluster of compass cherry trees-a
cross between wild plum and the
common cherry-that are the talk of
the town. In size they are between
the plum and cherry, also in season Of
ripening, the color dark red, the flavor
and taste being delicious combina-
ton of cherry and plum. The trees
yield enormously. They will no doubt
become the popular fruit of this Sec
ton, as they answer the purpose of
cherries and fill the bill of plums.
Mr.. Warke went west of Pierre
year ago, discovering on an island in
the Missouri river family that had
an orchard of fine marketable apples,
large tame plums, tame grapes,
peaches, apricots. immense melons,
etc. He was so surprised to find that
South Dakota would produce fruit that
resembled in size and flavor the kind
raised in California and Georgia, that
he brought back samples to show his
friends. Mr.. Warke was doubted, but
he finally convinced the Millerites Of
the truth of his find. Since that dis
covery he has not hesitated to intro
duce here, plant and experiment with
the different fruits, knowing that he
can grow them successfully.

Woman Took Warning from Dream.
Mrs. F. c. Johnson, living four miles
northwest of this place, was saved from
drowning through dream. Several
nights ago she dreamed she had
slipped into the well on the place
while attempting to draw water So
impressed was she with the dream
that the next morning she fastened a
long rope to heavy iron stake, driven
deep in the ground, and threw the
loose end of the rope into the well.

same time, to grasp the rope should
he fall into the WELL
During the afternoon she went to
the well to draw water, and, slipping
on the wet platform, slid into the open
curb. The we'll is twenty-four feet
deep and half full Of water. The
plunge took her away under, but upon
coming to the surface she seized the
rope and climbed out hand over hand.

tween two walls with my little sister
on her back. the child slipped and
rolled between the horses feet.
Prunelle stopped instantly and held
one hind foot in the air. She seemed
to fear TO lower that foot, lest she
should step on the child. There was
no room for the horse to turn nor for a
man to pass in.
In that uncomfortable position. with
lifted foot, however, the horse stood
patiently while an attendant crawled
