J. R. Chard, wealthy resident of
Greenwich, Conn, who has been spend

where vast amount Of Spanish treas

While fishing short time ago he

corroded piece of metal. Mr.. Chard
scraped the piece Of metal and discov-
cred that it was a Spanish doubloon
bearing the date of 1905 Since then he
has studied the traditions of the place
and has learned that early in the sew

buccaneers is reputed to have made its
headquarters near the place. He is so
sure that he is on the track of great
discovery that he has extended his va

Owners to Worry the Pest.
Chauffeurs and the cottagers at
Southampton, N. Y, have taken upon
themselves the fumigation of mosqui-
toes by throwing hot clouds of burning
cylinder oil as they race about the vii
lage in their motor cars. The work of
determination has been carried on with
increasing determination during the
last few days. The roads are choked
with the clouds of smoke that trail be-
hind every car, while the natives who
walk sneeze and cough. But the mos
quitoes are getting the worst Of it.

residence of Elihu Root, occupied this
season by Nathaniel Holmes; the resi-
dences Of Colonel Robert NJ Thompson,

body are being freed from the pests.
Along Jobs lane, at the foot of the
lake, run daily the eight cars of Hugh

dense, choking smoke as they tear
along the roads. In consequence the

York Herald reporter, for in the for

of itself. Not only that, but each is

necessary to be done in preparing for

large ship can withstand storm all

the question Of whether each vessel

A Mammoth Zoo.

Kansas City has begun work on the
first building of group which when
completed will be one of the finest ZOO
logical gardens in the United States
and will cost 100000. Five years are
allowed for completion. It's most con-
spicuous feature will be the lion
house, which is to be 100 by 800 feet
and have accommodations for about
seventy lions, tigers. etc. In addition
to the housed specimens, there will be
a ten acre jungle at the eastern end of
Swope park, where within a fence
fourteen feet high animals will roam
undisturbed in their native wildness so
far as their nearness to civilization will
permit the illusion.

OLD CLOTHES IN AFRICA.
The Natives Often Make Dreadful
Mistakes With European Attire.

The sol' clo' man. is familiar figure
in American streets and one by no
means without picturesqueness, but no
American dealer in old clothes has es-
tablished business of such extent OF
interest as that of John Lyman of Lon
don, whose speciality is to purchase
SNOWY costumes and discarded military
and official uniforms for disposal in the
orient and Africa
Even the retiring lord mayors of Lon
don have become almost by official ira
dition his customers, and the cooked

at which during one season London has
gazed with awe in the famous pageant

likely the next season to delight the
eyes of darkest Africa upon the proud
person of a darkest African.

They were known as Big Denis an
Little Denis, and each owned for cere-
monial occasions a military uniform.
That of Big Denis was French gen.
erals, which his wives managed to get
him into. That Of Little Denis was a
hussar's, and its intricate cut, numer-
Gus buttons, straps and buckles and
painfully small size proved quite too
much for him. He sent the prince a
despairing message begging help, and
relief party Of delighted midshipmen
was sent to dress him and bring him
aboard.
They fulfilled their errand; but, with
the mischievousness of their kind, they
so frightened every fastening Of his
overnight attire that the poor youth
was nearly bursting with combined
pride and suffocation when he arrived,
