TO RAISE TREASURE SHIPS.
Spaniard Has to Search for Lost
Wealth in Bay of Woo.

For the first time in 200 years hui
man foot has been set upon the deck
CT one of the ancient Spanish treasure
ships lost in the bay of Vigo.
Cavaliere Pine. who has been en-
deavoring since April, with the help of
his microscope and elevator, to raise
the ships and recover the 92S,000,000
worth of treasure they are supposed
tC contain, has succeeded, with three
companions. in boarding the sunken
ship Almirante.
Two great difficulties stood in the
way of Pino's work lrp to the present
Most of the ships, lying at a depth of
about ninety feet, are buried in the
sand that two rivers constantly pour
upon them as they flow into the bay.
The sand is so abundant that divers,
directly they descend, find themselves
buried in sand clouds, and can see
nothing.
The inventor, however, has already
devised means to overcome the diff
fiCulty. He has perfected plans for
an instrument which viii allow him
actually to descend to the sea bed IT.
self, and to examine with his own hand
the objects that the lenses of his
microscope have revealed.
1t is to consist mainly of long steel
telescope tube, which may be elong-
ated to any length desired. Down
this tube the sea bed explorer may de-
scend until he touches bottom. The
bottom of the tube is to be open, but a
strong current of compressed air is
to play through it to keep out the wa
ter. The tube will be built in water
tight compartments and lit by eletcric
! lamps. "A firm in Vigo is at present
hard at work making this simple but
effective piece of mechanism
Meantime, Pino impatient at delays.
has made descent IN the long tube
of his microscope, which gave him the
idea for the new machine.
The great camera at the end of the
tube, containing the lenses. was re-
moved, and the sea telescope was then
carefully lowered until il came in con
tact with the sand covering the AL
mlrante-one of the nine ships that
have been identified Cavaliere
Pine descended the steps that run
down inside the MICROSCOPE rltil he
found himself upon the deck Of tha
galleon.
He was accompanied by NJ. Glen

who isl financially interested in the IT.

captain of the San Ciemeate. and a

The tube was slowly moved hither
and thither about the ship. in response
to telephone orders from Pine to those

method a thorough exploration was

fore, fire may originate even in the

hand, modern methods of construction
and the use of many wonderful de-
vices for giving an alarm can be so
employed as to make it practically i'm

any Roadway before it is extinguished

introduced some novel ideas, as the
result of which the hotel may in one
way be compared TO vessel. The
battleship or ocean liner is divided in
to a great number of water-tight COM
partments and in case of danger a
single man by moving a lever is able
TO close all the doors between the
compartments. In this building
there is a somewhat similar system.
Staircases are shut in by walls and
the long corridors are divided into
sections by doors. Ordinarily. the
doors giving access TO the stairways
and those in the corridors are open

They do not lock: people can push
them open and pass through but the
doors left to themselves Immediately
close again. As a result. in case of
fire, the smoke which is more TO be
dreaded than the fame, is kept from

other evidence of the care architects
nowadays bestow upon details is
shown by the location of the psTas

more important results obtained
through our experiments and to en-
phasize the financial benefits which
may accrue from better methods in
agriculture. Last summer an expert
ment in the top dressing of grass
lands was conducted on the Weeden
farm at Matunuck, r. I. Two mead
ows were chosen, one three or four
years old and the other seeded down
last year In each case one-tenth-
acre plots situated as nearly alike as
possible were chosen. On the old
meadow two plots were staked off
One was left untreated and the other
given top dressing of the experiment
station fertilizer. On the new mead
ow three plots were selected. One
of these was left untreated one was
treated with the station fertilizer and
one was given a dressing, equivalent
in cost to the station fertilizer, of the
ready-mixed fertilizer used on the
farm.
The station fertilizer is home mix
ed and is made Tp of the following in
gradients: Muriate of potash 200
pounds, nitrate of soda $50 pounds,
acid phosphate 500 pounds. The
quantity given is for one acre, and
the average cost from year to year
would be about $3.50. The results
were as follows: Old meadow, untreat-
ed plot, 400 pounds of green hay;
station fertilizer plot, 756 pounds of
green hay. New meadow, untreated
plot, 6S3 pounds of green hay; station
fertilizer plot, 1347 pounds of green
hay; form fertilizer plot, S76 pounds of
green hay. Weighed samples from
each plot were taken and cured to OBJ
tain the weights Of cured hay. The
shrinkage was relatively greater IN
the hay from the new meadow but the
ratios between plots of the same ex-
periments were about the same.
Similar experiments will be arranged
for next year as far as time and OPP
pority permit anC the college will be
slad to hear from any one interested
in seeing what the results would BE-
! from similar treatment on the soil of
his farm. A limited number of ex-
periments in the treatment of injur-
! icus insects and fungi, and perhaps in
clover raising, will also be arranged
for.
