 In spite of the enormous inroads made on this earths great store of wealth, diamonds gold, oil, gas, coal iron ana other materials, recent investigations have brought to light the interesting fact that treasure fields containing fap- ulous wealth still remain intact
 Investigation have proved, for instance that huge areas of the floor Of the Pacinc are strewn thick with immense deposits of nodules of pure manganese. Invent practical and economical method Of re- covering 1t and the individual who does so will at once become rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
 The most crying need of today is a substitute for Para rubber. It IS certain to be discovered sooner or later.
 Malleable gaas was manufactured and used by the Romans early two thousand years ago. But the secret has been lost It seems odd that no one in this age of mechanical progress has been able to re- discover the method of manufacturing a tough and unbreakaole glass. Whoever succeeds in doing so and making the dis covery economically useful will reap a great reward.
 Real photography in colors is still an open field and offers boundless oppor- tunities for the inventor. In smaller mat ters' too, the lists of wants unsupplied Is endless. Jewellers for instance are quite without any safe method of fixing pearls or jewe,ry, such as rings, where the gems are e>mounted without q surrounding setting.

MANY SHIPS FROM QUAINT OLD SALEM History of Shipping in the
 Early Days HAS GREATLY DECLINED The Number of American Merchant. men Is Now Very Small Conn pared to What It Was 100
 Years Ago.
HAS GREATLY DECLINED

Salem Mass, February 11.-(SpeciaD- Few American cities are more keenly aware of the decay of American shipping than quaint old Salem. It's citizens are prepared to appreciate one of the striking features of the report of the Merchant Marine commission to the present Con- gross, the statement that "only ten per cent. of our vast seaborne commerce is now carried by American ships" In 1S10 the American proportion was 91 per cent. portion of American goods carried in American ships forcibly illustrates the decline and fall of our merchant marine.
 To show what this deplorable falling of in the deep sea carrying means, the experience of Salem affords a notable illustration. Salem never was a large city. In 1850 1t had population of only twenty thousand Yet in 1897 1t could boast of 252 vessels engaged in the deep sea trade, probably the largest fleet owned by a community of it's size in the world. But in the year 1900 this city
 which had for nearly century been bet ter known in the ports of the Orient than Boston or New York, had not a single vessel registered for deep sea com merce. The last arrival at Salem from a South American port was on March 21. 1877, The last entry of a vessel from be- yond the Cape of Good Hope was on May l, 1870, when the bark Glide came home

Fish Hospital at Vienna.

From the New York World
 The Frankfort News states that since the beginning of the winter term a sta- tion for research and observation of sick fish had been established at the Veterin- ary High school of Vienna under the di- rection of Prot Dr. Fiebiger. Officials of this ins .tution will investigate the biology and pathology of fish. One of the main objects of the researches will be to study whether certain diseases of fish are transmitted to man, and if so to what extent. The scientific diagnosis of the sick fish Is affixed to each compartment containing them. Fishes are to be found suffering from small pox and others from intestinal catarrh. A dolphin was brought to the institute with a disease which was diagnosed as inflammation of the lungs.

Dog Went 300 Miles Alone.

The remarkable attachment for its home place Is shown in the case of Carlo, fine water spaniel belonging to James Ding man, who several weeks ago left Stroud, O. T., for Idaho. Carlo was tied in one of the cars with the stock.
 He stood the trip for 300 miles, but the desire to get back to the old home place evidently grew upon hirn. Mir. Dingman thought 1t was safe to unite the dog, but no sooner had the animal been tossed than 1t jumped out of the car and made a bee line for Stroud. It never stopped until 1t had travelled the whole 300 miles and reached home almost starved.

three members of Congress, two secreta- ries of the navy, a United States senator and a great mathematician second to no one in ancient or modern times, one who has corrected the works of Newton and enlarged the heavens of La Place."
 Morevore, in the dire need of war the merchants of Salem and the neighboring towns of Marblehead and Beverly were the first to take out letters of marque and reprisal and form that fleet of pri- vateersmen whose service turned in our behalf the trembling scales of war in both of our conflicts with England. The privateersmen of New England won more victories and captured more prizes in the wars of the revolution of 1872 than the entire fleets of our navy, and without them the annals of those days would not have added such renown to the sea power of America.
 Patriotism Again Illustrated.
 The patriotism of the Salem merchants was again illustrated when, in October. 179s. at a mass meeting in the Salem court house, they voted to build by pri- vate subscription a frigate of thirty-two guns and present her as a ship-of-war to the United States navy to suppress the French ravages on our West India trade. It was day of rejoicing when the white oak for her frames was hauled into town and in the presence of cheering thousands on a September day in 1799 there was launched the Essex; in size smallest of our frigates, but in achievements one of the most glorious. For a while this ship protected our commerce in the In- dian ocean: then participated in the chas- ! tisement of the Barbary pirates, and during the war of 1872 made her name illustrious by an heroic engagement with the British, when among her crew she carried a midshipman by the name of Farragut.
 It is from instances such as these that the value of a merchant marine to the prosperity and security of a nation is made evident A country whose sons are trained in the hard school of the sea and has a nucleus for national defense its own native born sailors, need not fear when the ships of any foe sail toward her shores It Is to bring back our old pres tige on the seas; to open to Americans of today the channels of trade closed for a generation or more: to develop. with a wise forehought for national defense, that sturdy manhood which comes to those whose life and love is for the ocean, who go forth fin the teeth of the hard, glad weather in the blown wet face of the sea-" that the commission appointed to investigate the American merchant ma rine urges upon Congress the adoption of the recommendations embodied in its re- port.

Developed Fine Type.

Such a service developed fine type of manhood, and no American city in the early years of 1900 could boast of prouder names than the Derbys, CrowninshieldS
 Forresters, Thorndikes Peabodys, Pick mans, Vests and Silsbes of Salem. The very nature of these voyages gave a pe- culiar character to the people, as has been remarked by J. N Reynolds in his fas- cinating account of the voyage of the United States frigate Potomac. The length of time passed by these sea cap tains on the ocean gave them fine oppor- tunities to improve their minds. From among the masters, supereargoes, and other officers of these Indiamen it is said there have been from the town of Salem a great number of the members of each branch of the legislature of the state,

 Ihese voyages were not yachting cruis- es on summer seas. The captains of these ships were not merely bold adven- turers; they had to be merchants, sold lers and ambassadors as well. The dan gers that faced them were not alone the ships of pirate and hostile nations, but the treachery of the natives, the vor- acious coral reefs of uncharted seas and the fierce typhoons of troptc clmes With such few maps ana charts as they could find, and these often inaccurate with a sextant and "Guthries Grammar in the picturesque language of a sympathetic recorder, they swept around the Cape of Good Hope, exhausted the markets Of the islands of FrnnceA and Bourbon. and pushing onward entered the Straights of Babelmandel and secured the trade of the Red Sea. They brought from Madras. Calcutta and Bombay the best of their staples, and had their choice of the pro ducts of Ceylon and Sumatra, and a large share of the Canton trade.
