without food or water for twenty-eight
hours. In a few hours after the rescue the
schooner broke up and went TO pieces.
The schooner Lizzie Carr was engaged in
the New England coasting trade. The mas
ter was part owner OF the vessel, which left
Calais, Me, December 49, 1904, bound for
New York with a load of long lumber and
laths. Much bad weather was encountered
after the schooner left Booth bay, and it
was decided to try to make Portsmouth
harbor for anchorage. A strong head tide
was setting the Lizzie Carr in toward shore
and the master anchored her off Foss
Ledge about o'clock in the afternoon OF
January g. 1908. and took In all sail. There
was big anchor out on each side and
curity was felt. A tug went out to the
vessel and offered to tow her in to Ports
mouth harbor, but the master declined to
give a big price for this, he thought the
vessel was well fixed.
The next morning the vessel began TO
drag down on Foss Ledge. The master
tried to break the cables TO get the vessel
off before the wind. This failed, the
schooner got nearer the beach and the mas
ter ordered the crew in the rigging, where
they were secured with lashings. signal
of distress was given by putting the en-
sign in the main rigging, union down. No
attempt was made to get away, as the
master did not think q boat could live in the
sea. While the crew was in the rigging the
vessel dragged down on Foss Ledge and
struck. The masts fell with the men In the
rigging and the vessel broke TO pieces. The
crew fell among the wreckage and cargo
and were placed in perilous position. Five
were injured. some severely. The men
succeeded in freeing themselves and crawled
over the cargo to a piece of the main deck.

The rescue by the life savers had TO be a
quick one. Lines were shot to the wrecked
sailors and the master understood their
use, but the lines were fouled in the wreck
age and could not be hauled aboard. -Four
lines were fired but all failed because of
the wreckage. An attempt was made TO

The crew reached the schooner, which lay

of breakers her foremost, topmast bow

rounded by wreckage, and was pitching and
beating about n the surf This threatened
the safety of the lifeboat and its crew. 1t
was impossible to approach too closely to
the wreck because OF the floating debris.
The master of the schooner said that every
moment he expected to see a fraH lfeboat
pitched end over end in the turbulent sea
and this would have occurred but for the
cool and skillful management of the crew.
Although 1t was impossible to get near the
vessel, the life-saving crew anchored near
the edge of the breakers hoping that in case

the long, cold night they remained in the

were not towards and would not desert

dawn and found that the crew of the
schooner had survived the night. The sea
was still running high and 1t was decided
to defer the attempt at rescue until the
tide turned, when they believed that condi-
lions would moderate. About noon con-
ditions had grown better and the life-savers
pulled to a position about fifty yards to

him to battle with the angry, icy water
and the freezing weather.
Secretary Shaw personally commended the
bravery of a number of life-saving crews
during the past winter. He sent a letter
to the keeper and crew of the Creeds Hill
life-saying station at Frisco, n. c., espe-
cially commencing them for their splendid
work on the occasion of the wreck of the
steamer Northeastern on dangerous Dia-
mond Shoals, off Cape Hatteras on the Goth
of December.
The wreck of the Northeastern lay about
nine miles off shore, the vessel having
stranded in the night time during a heavy
fog. When the lfe-savng crew discovered
her the next morning the ocean between
her and the shore was a seething mass of
breakers, through which ii was impossible
for life boat and crew to proceed. Those
conditions lasted throughout the first day
and succeeding night, with the exception
that the wind somewhat diminished while
the cold increased. Early on the succeed
ing morning Keeper Peel and his crew de-
termned TO make every effort to launch a

lifeboat and they finally accomplished this
about 0 o'clock, but before that they had
been repeatedly hurled back to shore by
the angry waves. After six hours OF I'M
ceasing work and effort the crew reached
the wreck. They again encountered ex-
IRENE difficulty in rescuing the shipwrecked
men from the fact that the terrible sea
made 1t impossible to lay the lifeboats
alongside. By means of lines. however, the
life savers finally took off every man on
board twenty-five in number, and convey
ed them safely to shore.
Under even ordinary conditions, a trip
from Cape Hatteras to the Diamond shoals
is not free from danger, and in bad weather
is perilous in the highest degree. The
shoals are one OF the most dangerous places
on the entire American coast, the sea is
seldom quiet and the bottom is strewn with
numberless skeletons of powerful vessels
that have suffered destruction. The letter
of Secretary Shaw concluded follows:
Il congratulate you upon your most no.

all others, but-which is glory enough-be-

sailed from Georgetown S. c., for New
York February 2, 1905, with a cargo of
lumber. On the 9th, in a gale with thick
fog and rough sea, the vessel stranded in
the breakers on the south side of Lookout

cargo. When the schooner struck the mas

this was being done heavy sea swept the
decks carrying Jacob Hansen, Norwe-
gian seaman, into the surf, where he quick
ly disappeared. The heavy seas carried the
schooner further upon the shoal and
took away her boats and deck houses.

In many states salt springs are used as the
source of common salt. and thus add largely
to the economic resources of their localities.

This is the season when millions of cir
culars are flooding the country praisng in
glowing terms the great curative qualities
of waters from various mineral springs To-
Gated in all parts of the United States. If
the circulars are to be credited as abso-
lutely truthful, some mineral waters cure
practically every known disease to which
human flesh is heir; others are especially
efficacious in the treatment of particular
ailments, but nearly all of the springs con-
tain waters that make the sick well, the
weak strong, and bring the rosy bloom of
youth and health back to the faded, yell
low cheek of the aged.
Within the United States alone there are
between 5000 and 10000 mineral springs.
OF this number about $50 are utilized COM
mercially, the waters being sold either for
table use or for medicinal purposes. The
total production of these $50 mineral
springs is about 6O,000, coo gallons annually;
at valuation of more than $4,000, 600.
From these figures it will readily be seen
that mineral springs occupy no insignif-
cant place in the business world in addition
to their value to the sick.
When the first list of mineral springs in
America was made in 1881 there were only
twenty-one springs catalogued. Up to the
present time at Saratoga Springs alone
forty springs have been discovered, in addi-
ton to the original High Rock spring,
which although first known to white people
in 1851 had been known and utilized for
its medicinal virtues long before by the
aboriginal inhabitants of the country.

Prof. A. c. Peale of the National Mu-
scum has given considerable attention to
the collection OF statistics and data relative
to the mineral springs in the United States.
According to Prof. Peale, the history of
mineral springs in genera! dates from the
most remote periods. The Egyptians, Ara
bians. Mohammedans. Greeks, Romans
and. In fact. all nations. have used mineral
waters for medicinal purposes from time
immemorial. Hippocrates, Aristotle, Herod-
otus and even Homer wrote of them; tenn
pies dedicated to Esculapius the god of
medicine, were erected near them, and they
were made the sites of hospitals medical
schools. baths and resorts for the diversion
of the sick
Pliny, In his natural history, says of these
waters They spring wholesome from the
earth on every side, and in thousand
lands. the cold the hot, the hot and cold
together, as at Tarbellum in Aquitania or
In the Pyrenees, where they are separated
only by small interval, or yet the warm
and tepid, announcing relief to the sick
and flowing from the earth only for man,
of all living things
For five centuries mineral waters were
almost the only medicines used in Rome
In their conquests of northern and western
Europe the Romans sought the springs of
the countries, and in the names Acqui, AK
or Aachen, OAK, etc, derived from the
mer celebrity of these towns as watering
places. The reputation of many of them
has descended to this day. Among the Ro-
mans warm bathing was INDUCED in to ex-

ing the solution of calcium, magnesium and
iron, IT may be held in solution in excess
in the water. Sulphates may be reduced to
sulphdes and yield hydrogen sulphide. Or
ganic matters also play an important part.
In addition to chemical action, high tenn
perature may assist in the breaking down
of the rocks. and water under great pres
sure without the aid of heat or with chem
ical action alone, may dissolve out not only
the more soluble constituents of rocks, but
others not usually considered so, as silica,
which Is very sparingly soluble.
I'm passing through the sedimentary
rocks many of the previously deposited
salts are redissolved. and in these and in
the constituents of the metamorphic and
igneous rocks may be found all the solid
constituents that we find in mineral waters.
They may be rearranged in the mineral
waters after solution by chemical action,
but there Is no difficulty in accounting for
the presence of any of the elements that
are found upon chemical analysis"
The mineral springs In the United States
are classified under the following heads
Alkaline, alkaline-saline, saline and acid
These waters may be further qualified by
the following designations: Non-gaseous

Roman baths remain. There were build
lngs OF great architectural beauty, grand

mosaics, and among them the baths of Do
cletian and the baths of Caracalla were the
most celebrated.
In this practical day the springs have
been shorn of the supersttiOns of the an
clients, and the busy habits of modern times
do not permit the people to spend the time
and elaborate preparation upon the bath
that was bestowed upon 1t in the luxurious
days of imperial Rome.
According to Prof Peale the first work
upon the quality and use of water that
was printed in America treats of 1t from
therapeutical standpoint. The treatise
was written by John Smith, c. M, and
1t was reprinted in Boston In 1925 from the
London edition of 1912. This work calls
special attention to the excellency of wa
ter as drink, and enumerates its thera-
peuucal attributes as follows: 1T cures

certain crack-brained man who, at Ley

Christ did, and it found that he held

any food. only he drank water and smoked
tobacco. Water Is also of great use to

years ago this is not excelled by the pre-
tentious claims of any modern mineral
spring circular.
1T is an undisputed fact" said Prof.
Peale In discussing mineral springs that
the water of all springs, mineral or other
wise, Is meteoric in It's origin; but for a
long time in fact, for ages, the origin of
springs was a puzzing question and fruit
full subject of debate by ancient philoso-
piers Aristotle taught that there were
large cavities in the interior of the earth
filled with air and that this air condensed
to water on the cold ceilings and made it's
way to the surface through assures. Wit
ruvius believed that springs were due to
an accumulation of rain and melted snow in
subterranean reservoirs. Descartes mag
ined that the sea was the source of the
water which flowed into subterranean cav
ems, was vaporZed, and afterward
densed. finally escaping to the surface
through crevices in the rocks.
1.-The water of mineral springs, as Of all
other springs is now, however, recognized
as no new creation, but 1t Is well known
that the spring Is only one of the phases
of an aqueous circulation which begins
and ends in the clouds that envelope our

ever seeks lower levels, and while large
part passes directly to the ocean through

Speaking OF the change in japanese

Japanese protectorate over Korea. The
members of the Korean legation which

severance of diplomatic relations. The

A recent deposit of $500 in gold of a
coinage prior to 1860, and Of a large sum
Of silver of coinage of over 100 years
ago, and suspicious excavations near
Sharptown, Wicomico County, have led
to the belief that buried treasure has
been found. These deposits were made
by two men. Another man has spent a
great deal OF silver in the local stores.
This silver is bright and new and was
coined over so years ago. 1t is not be-
leved that this gold and silver were
boarded The conviction is general that
two or three diggers, following up old
clues, have found treasure troves.
