VAST TREASURE IN WRECKS BENEATH WATERS SEAS.

part of the treasure which awaits re-
covery in the inland seas. In 1916 the
Lexington. Capt. Peer, cleared from
Cleveland for Port Huron with car
20 of 10 barrels of whisky. The ship
foundered in midlake with all on
board To-day the whisky is worth
s115 per barrel. The Anthony Wayne
sank in Lake Erie with 300 barrels or
whisky and wine on board. The West
moreland sank with similar cargo
It is said that coal worth 100000
awaits recovery.
A terrible event on the inland seas
was the loss of the steamer Atlantic
off Long Point, Lake Erie, with 300
liyes. Not until quarter of a CEN
tfry had passed was trace of the ship
found. Treasure worth 100000 was
taken from her. The Griffin, built by
La Sale at the foot of Lake Erie in
January, 1879, sailed across Lake Erie,
up the Detroit river and entered Lake
Michigan. She started on the return
trip in the fall of 1850 with $4,000
in furs on board. She was never
heard of.
Treasure hunters are now seeking
the $4,000 copper cargo that went
down with the steamer Pewab1c in
collision with the Meteor in August,
1865. The Pewabic went down in Lake
Huron, off Thunder Bay island. Five
men have lost their lives in attempts
to recover her cargo. The new attempt
is being made by New York syndi-
cate, which has perfected diving rig
that they declare will Withstand the
water pressure at the depth at which
the treasure lies.

seas. Many of these vessels with flcn
cargoes disappeared suddenly and mys-
teriously, as if smuggled away by an
unseen power. Most of these cargoes
remain to this day for lucky fortune
hunters. In the wrecking Of $4,000
ships thousands Of lives were snuffed
out and unwritten acts of herofsm
played. Many fortunes have been re-
covered from the bottom of the lakes
Not many years ago treasure ship
came down from the North, the Will
liam H. Stevens, loaded with $101 $3.50
worth of copper. She went down of
Conneaut, o. Unavailing efforts to re-
cover her treasure were made until
Capt. Harris w. Baker, Detroit, fitted
out a modern treasure-hunting expedi-
ton. He recovered 100000 of the
cargo, his share Of the treasure being
$4,000. On the south shore Of Lake
Erie, between Erie and Dunkirk, the
steamer Dean Richmond lies with $780,
600 in zinc on board. The Richmond
disappeared between these two ports
and the bodies of the crew were
washed ashore. Lake Huron is called
the Lake of the Sunken Treasure"
Near Saginaw bay are more lost ships
with valuable cargoes than in any 9th
er of the great lakes. The steamer
City of Detroit, with $4,000 copper
cargo; r. G. Coburn, 100000 copper
cargo, and the steamer Fay, with $780,
900 In steel billets on board, lie in the
bay. The steamer Kent was sunk off
Point Pelee with much money in her
hulk. Eight men lost their lives on
the Kent.

REVIVAL OF sTENCILING.
Adaptation of Straw Mating to This
Style of Decoration.

Adaptation of Straw Mating to This
Style of Decoration.
Never has Japanese mating been in
such popular favor for decorating and
house furnishing articles as during
the present season, the Boston Post
says.
Now that stenciling is the favorite
fac in decorating, many and beautiful
are the various decorative schemes to
which the mating lends itself to stem
Cling. Mating rugs decorated with
a stenciled border are very attractive
and useful for the porch or summer
cottage. Plain white mating is used
for the stencil decorating and the rug
ends are finished by raveling out the
mating to a depth of four or five
inches and knotting the strands in
punches of six or eight, close to the
last strand of mating, thus forming
a pretty fringe. A conventional Dor
der for the rugs is the proper style of
decoration.
Porch floor cushions are equally at
tractive made from mating and bound
together with rata and decorated with
stencil design.
Screens filled with stenciled mating
always look cool and inviting. Lamp
and candle shades of steRciled mating
bound with rata are also very popu-
lar for summer use.
Utility boxes, chair seats and tables
covered with mating are also receiv
ing their share of stencil adornment.
A screen of green mission filled with
white mating, decorated with flights
of brilliant-hued butterflies and darn
ing needles''-the wasp-like insect
which our parents often threatened us
would sew up our childish lips for
acts of naughtiness-was recently the
storm center of admiration in an ex-
hibit of arts and crafts.
The work is fascinating the effect
charming and the cost next to moth
ing.

ton that his previous explanation OF
the upward trend Of food prices Is
sound He attributed the troubles OF
the consumer to the scarcity OF farm
labor, and he sees no reason to change
that view. Thousands of fertile acres,
he says, are lying idle in the far West
because their owners cannot get
hands" at any rate OF pay. Amerl'
can boys drift to the cities, while
immigrants, even if from purely agr1-
cultural districts, are either unable
or unwilling to do farm and held
work, while many of those who try
it prove to be incompetent owing to
the different methods and the i'm
proved machinery employed here.
Those who regard this theory as in
adequate and who think that monop-
oily is not without considerable respon-
gibility for the high prices of food
stuffs must admit that the scarcity of
agricultural labor is a fact, and as
such it at least partially accounts for
the phenomenon in question. Hence 1t
is highly desirable to continue and ex-
tend the work of the federal informa-
ton division of the bureau Of immi-
grafton, which has sought to promote
the better distribution of immigration
and has taken particular pains to d.
rect the aliens to the western states
or localities where the shortage of Ia
Dor is greatest There has been oppo-
sition to the activities of this divi-
sion, and only the other day Secretary
Nagel turned down" a recommended
ton for its abolition. There is plenty
of room for cooperation between the
federal agency and state bureaus of
labor and immigration. Secretary Will
sons explanation also emphasizes the
need of scientific and practical teach
ing of agriculture in state colleges
and special schools. A good deal has
been written on the subject Of late,
and 1t certainly deserves all the at
tention II receives. The drift city
ward can be checked by making agri-
culture profitable and attractive as a
career The liberal professions, we
are constantly told, are overcrowded,
and the average earnings In them too
small to compensate for the time and
labor spent In preparation and wait
ing. Agriculture is very far from be-
ing overcrowded, and the possibili-
ties of intensive cultivation, Of econ
omy and improvement are infinite
in this country.

EARLY LETTER ON THE UNION.

DR.. Rush Feared a Too Quick Peace
with England Would BE Harmful.
One of the finest specimens of let
ters In a recent sale of autographs by
Stan V. Henkels in Philadelphia, was
written on April Is, 1882, by DR.. Ben
tamin Rush, a signer Of the declara-
ton of independence, to Maj.-Gen.
Nathaniel Greene, says the New York
Times
Dr. Rush was physician general Of
the revolutionary army also. He prac-
ticed his profession in Philadelphia
and during the yellow fever epidemic
there in 1888 he treated it success
fully and it has been estimated that
he saved from death no less than
5000 persons.
He was a firm supporter of the fed
eral constitution and his letter is
chiefly about that subject. He says:
ut is true France has done wonders
for us. But may not even this have
a beneficial effect on our country here
after. It seems intended by heaven to
teach us the necessity of perpetual
union and confederation. If the COM
bined force of all the States was un-
equal to the power of Britain, what
can be expected from the spirit or re-
sources of any one of them? I am so
perfectly satisfied that the future
peace, safety, freedom of America
depend upon our union that I
view the debt Of our country
with pleasure, especially that part
of it we owe to ourselves.
Our danger at present arises
principally from two causes. First,
too speedy peace with Britain, and,
second, from Britain's acknowledging
our independence. l wish the first
may be deferred till a naval war has
given US as many fleets and admirals
as land war has given us armies and
generals The last event would un-
nerve the resentments of America and
introduce among us all the conse-
quence of English habits and manners
with English manufactures. To pre-
vent this and enable us to transmit
our feeling to posterity, l wish Brit
ain for fifty years to come may con-
tinue in all her acts of government to
call us rebels and 'deluded subjects.
We stand in need of all the follies
and vices of our enemies to give US a
national character"
On Sept. %, 1888, the def1nitive
treaty of peace was signed, by which
the independence Of the thirteen
United States was acknowledged by
Great Britain. 1t was not, however,
until after Jays treaty in 1894 that
this original treaty of peace was fully
executed by Great Britain.

In twenty years-between 1878 and

the inland seas, marine records show.
The loss of cargo in this period of
less than one-fourth of the years of
navigation on the lakes was $4,000, 900.
From this estimate it is figured that
the total number of vessels wrecked
