various interpretations of this record, but
even assuming the cash to be Spanish pence
and not English pounds sterling, there
would still, it is stated, be a very handsome
return for those who are interesting them
selves in the enterprise.
Ships Contents,
But besides cash there is a theory that
this Tuscany galleon carried a considerable
quantity of goll cups, silver plato, and ivory
crucifxes- that she was, in fact, the plate
ship of the intended Spanish Court in Lon
don.
From the site of the wreck many coins,

As. Cd. respectively, have been recovered in
an excellent state Of preservation. But all
past attempts to locate the ship itself nave
failed.

Mackenzie Foss, who holds the rights from
the Duke of Argyll, was asked what nope
the new enter prise has of succeeding.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.

It is certainly unfortunate that the recent
Durbnr should be coincident with the out
break of famine in India. But the 1neylta-
bile result of the fitful course OF last sum
mer's monsoon rains Is already evident, e-
pecially in the northern portion OF the BON
bay Presidency. The autumn rains were
also needed to prepare the soil for the Sc
cond crops. There was failure IN those rams
too. The Government has acted promptly.
AS the cattle are the first to feel a famine,
and as the Indian agriculturlst's main depeh-
dence is on his cattle, the Government mas
purchased large quantities OF fodder and
is selling it cheaply in addition, the

buying fodder where sowing OF seed Is I'M

wells and in irrigation wherever possible
AT the beginning Of the year the number on
such relief works was nearly forty thousand,

applies both to The area and to the number
of people involved. Hence the weekly ~
crease of those for whom the Government
must care is at present about ten thousand,
As the weeks go by and the peoples re-
sources grow less, this rate of increase must
gradually become larger. The stress OF the
famine is expected to reach its maximum IN
june, when it should be relieved by the
rains. The Government cannot adequately

HISTORIC BOOKS STOLEN
Fly Gable to The Tribune. I

London, Feb. 15.-No fewer than 2l7
historic books and manuscripts, some Of
which are of almost priceless value, have
been stolen from the library of Peterborough
Cathedral. The thefts are believed by the
police to have extended from January 1904,
to June, 1909, and were disclosed only yes
terday, when a middle aged man giving the
name of Tinker was accused at the local
police court of stealing books nominally
valued at G100.
For two years the secret has been kept
even from those closely connected with the
cathedral. In the mean time Investigations
were made, and the scope of the inquiry ex-
tended as far as New York. Some valuable
works were in this way recovered from col
lectors.
Only six highly placed persons in the Min
ster precincts have the keys to the library,
and the doors are always Kept locked. It
is thought that q skeleton key must have.
been used and q few books distracted at q
time.
The Dean does not consider it desirable to-
publish the list of missing books. The origie
nal of the Saxon Chronicles is said to hav-
been recovered, but works of Roger Ascham,
Francis Bacon, John Dryden, John Knox
and John Milton and q letter from Queen
Elizabeth to the Earl of Leicester are among
the missing books and documents.-N T.
