constable who made the arrest was down to the farm yesterday and says that the treatment of those unfortunate people is sim ply inhuman, and that he will not be party to sending another person to that place.
 That was what Hon. Emmett Jeffery of Newport, former rep resentative of Stone county, wrote Governor Davis in urging him to pardon James Farris, an 18.year-old boy from Stone county, who was convicted at Newport by Justice of the Peace billiard of disturbing the peace and fined S20 and costs, amount ing to $27.05.
 Being unable to pay the fine, having sent all his money to his two orphaned sisters who are de- pendent upon him, he was sent to the farm to work out the pen- atty. His offense consisted in being disorderly and swearing about the Newport depot Jan- uary 23. The pardon was there fore granted.

TREASURE HUNT.
ING UNDER THE
DEEP SEA.

OF the many secrets Of the sea there
is none so interesting to mankind as that
appertaining to the treasure the waves
hide. No one can attempt to approx
mate the vast amount of wealth that
lies hidden on the ocean bed. In Vigo
Bay. near Spain, there is said to be over
thirty millions IN gold lying in the mud,
only waiting for someone more daring
than his fellows to come and gather, If
he can. the rich harvest. Around the
British coast a ike sum awaits an owner.
Occasionally the sea. as if to tantalize
US with her might In guarding the wealth
she hides, casts gold coin up on the
beach here and there. But 1t Is not
often that the ocean can be made TO
disgorge gold in any quantities, though
this article Will tell of a few cases where
man has got the better Of the sea-
At TobermOry Bay, in Argyllshire,
England, a Spanish Armada ship, THE
Admiral Of Florence" went down in
1888. and with 1t. it is believed, three
millions of treasure, mostly Of Spanish
pieces of eight" The position of the
ship has long been known, and i've great,
but unsuccessful. attempts have been
made to drag the treasure from her hold
At one time so certain were the specu-
lators that they would secure the treas
ure that, IN 1911, the Earl OF Argyll
was granted the sole right Of search by
royal charter, but up to the present year
less than 81, 600 worth Of coins have been

recovered.
Now with the powerful suction pump
which is being used it is quite likely that
much of the treasure will be brought to
the surface, in spite of the fact that the
terrible storms that have ragged around
this coast have caused the vessel to sink
many feet in the mud.
Let US pass on to the treasure hunts
that have proved really successful.
It is only a short time since that the
sea was made to disgorge the sum OF
$3.50, 900, which had gone down in the
hold of the Hamilla Mitchell, a large yes
sci that struck the Lenconna Rock, of
Shanghai, China, and foundered in 100
feet of water. AS it happened, the ship
in sinking had rested on ledge, but sub
sequent heavy gales caused her to part
amidships, the stern end, containing the
treasure, sinking into the deepest water.
Two clever divers were sent out. equipped
with the finest diving apparatus, and In
spite of the terrific depth one of them
succeeded in reaching the strong room
of the vessel Here he found thousands
of dollars lying on the floor. Worms had
eaten the wooden boxes that held them
completely away.
Four trips in all were made and "a
boxes of treasure recovered. When the
diver was drawn up for the last time he
was well-nigh exhausted, and then, to
their horror, those engaged In the opera
vessels bearing down on them under full
sail. The pirates had heard about them
raising the treasure and meant to steal it,
and, If necessary, kill those who had
found it. 1t was a run for life. The
little rowing boat in which tho divers and
their assistants had worked rad to pull
their hardest in order to reach their ship;
but they escaped, treasure and all, with
about I'VE minutes to spare.
Now, while these treasure hunts have
been going on, an Italian named Cava.
lierie Pine has been perfecting an appar-
atus which it is believed viii revolution
lie the work of raising treasure from the
sea bed, and he has already brought up
many things OF value from the bottom.
This apparatus consists Of two instru-
ments, the hyposcope and an elevator.
It consists Of long steel tube, which cen
be drawn up or let down into the water,
and Is so large that a man can get inside
It. Fitted to the platform at the top are
a number Of lenses, which cost alone
10000, and they actually reflect the sea
bed just as II one were looking at Il
through a foot of water. The smallest
object can be seen as In broad daylight.
Eight men can stand on this platform and
so take observations Of what lies on the
sea bed below the instrument
Thus Signor Pine is able to find the
treasure; the next thing Is to raise Il.
His elevators consist of a number Of
air bags, and each is capable Of raising
30 tons when the air bags are Inflated.
AS soon as Pine had perfected his fnven-
ton he went to the Spanish government
at the beginning o. last year and sought

coats that are an imperative necessity in
that climate. The skins of the Russian
colts and ponies are now gathered to-
gether by traders who travel through the
country, and stored in warehouses until
the summer, when they are shipped, usu-
ally by the water courses, to the Fall
Fair at Mini. Here they may be seen
on every hand piled in great heaps for
the inspection of the traders The Amert-
can leather buyer is greatly in evidence
at the Mini Fair, a fact not so strange
when we remember that American shoes
are the finest In the world and every
where so acknowledged; that even in
Paris. where 1t is considered that the
ftments of women are best made and
designed, the most interesting shops on
the Avenue del Opera are the American
shoe shops Naturally, then, the best of
shOemakers must look for the best OF
feathers It is the American shoe manu-
facturer who has made shiny leather shoes
a thing of utility as we'll as beauty, and
has called upon the Russian Empire for
the wherewithal to do it. The original
patent leather was most unsatisfactory
from the point Of service, but 1t held
vogue because OF its smart appearance. So
American manufacturers set about pro-
ducing a shiny leather that would com
bine beauty and satisfactory service. Coarse
grained goat or calf leather vas used
