Treasures of Dunwich Washed
Up-The Towns History.

London. April 15.-The recent extraor-
binary high tide wrought strange havoc on
the Suffolk cost. At Thorrness. Aldeburgh'
a million tons OF sand were washed away.
and bungalows on the coast which were
hundred yards away from the sea we're
within a. few feet of highwater mark.
But the most curious fact was that hum
dreds of coins of gold. silver and bronze,
and dating back In many cases 10 carly
Saxon times. were brought TO light, also
antique bronze rings and ornaments and
an old bag clasp OF bronze. with silver
inscription. believed TO be OF the age Of
King John.
This coast IS Of the greatest antiquarian
interest Standing on II, according 10 local
legend. the wayfarer at twilight can hear
the bells Of the submerged churches OF
Dunwich I'm the sea. OF this place. once
a populous seaport little or nothing now
remains. 1t is most like TO Receiver, in
Kent, as lonely and as rich I'm historic
memories.
Here centuries ago were stationed Roman
troops; here was Saxon city OF great
importance. Dummoceastre and here about
so A. d. Sigeberht. King of East Anglia

bishop Honorius. There were fifteen
bishops of Dunwich before the SEQ disap-
peared. At one time the city boasted six
churches. in addition TO converts, hos
pitals and other public buildings.
Under Henry II its ships voyased as far
as Iceland. In the reign Of Edward Ill
the old port was swept away. with 400
houses Ono by one five Of its churches
were undermined by the waves. and to-day
only one remains, a melancholy ruin. with
a fragment of a mona stery and the scanty
remains of leper hospital. Ships, harbor,
city, all have gone: even tho very ruins
have perished with the above exceptions.
But on the shore still grows the Dun

brought to East Anglia by the monks four
teen hundred years ago.

GLASS FOR SHIPS BOTTOMS
Experiments Soon To Be Made on an
Oceangoing Steamer.

London. April 15.-An invention for COW
ering ships bottoms with glass. with Il
view to securing greater speed and saw
ing in coal consumption, has been patented
In this country. Arrangements have al
ready been made for testing the practica-
bility OF the process on an ocean going
steamer.
L. +. Linton, Of RI. V. Low e. Co, Lead
enhall street, T.. c.. who has bought the
rights of the invention. in explaining the
new process said: Hitherto 1t has always
been found impracticable to attach glass to
the steel plates Of ship. as the expansion
Of the steel broke the glass after a very
slight rise In temperature. After many ex-
perlments a composition OF resin and lin
seed oil was adopted "a the adhesive ma :
teral. and the difficulty OF the expansion
OF the steel was overcome by. the intro
duction OF IA thin layer Of wood pulp under
the glass.
The patentee Says that the cost Of
placing the glass plates on the sea covered
bottom Will not exceed two coatings OF
paint. The system has already been tried
on small electric launch. with Very salts
factory results.
