living in Melbourne, named Henry James
Hamilton Bethune Lindsay, and he as
OF the tenth earl, who was succeeded in
1894 by his cousin.
Mr.. Lindsay points out that Burke's
Peerage records that the tenth earls
brother, Henry James Hamilton, died in
Marseilles in 1862. but Mr.. Lindsay as
scrts that he is this person. Instead OF
going 10 France. as was supposed. he
went to Australia because of an unhappy
love affair. and owing to the way he was
treated by his family, he sought Oblivion
in the colonies.
Detailing his history, Mr.. Lindsay re-
lated that he arrived at Adelaide in the
sixties. and became overscer at q ranch
at Gamma wigra. While there he received
a copy of the Scotsman. containing
portrait OF the tenth earl About the
same time gentleman named Hayes
visited Australia to find me- Mr.. Lind

the family that 1 had not died in Mar

lost member of the family. but kept my
secret. Inquiries were also made about
me in the papers. but took no notice OF
the efforts to find me and moved about
from one part of Australia to another.

sheds through the country have seen me

Mr. Lindsay says that eventually he
went TO live at Chppsland. where he lived
lonely sort Of life. his only companions
being a dozen cats. The loneliness was
too much for him, so he went 10 Mel
bourne where he stayed at boarding
house, aud among the dodgers was a
woman who was now his wife.
1t was not his intention, so Mr.. Lind
say relates, to disclose his aristocratic
connections 10 his wife. but like a

and he yielded. reluctantly enough. to
make his story known and claim his title.

years of age. also asserts that in his
youth he was a lieutenant in the ROYAL
navy and served on III. NJ. S. Hercules.

.WOMEN'S SEARCH FOR

Treasure-Hunting Party Off Pa
cific Island Returns With Moth
ing But Experience
LAST QUEST OF MANY

PANAMA, March 10.
The treasure-hunting party from Ply
mouth, led by Mrs. Barry TIL and Miss
Genevieve Davis. which has been search
ing Cocos Island. in the Pacific, Tor
treasure supposed to have been buried
there by pirates and others many years
ago. has arrived here on board the
steamship Melmore.
They have brought no treasure with
them.
During the past twenty-five years there
have been at least twenty expeditions to
Gocos Island III search OF millions Of
pounds worth of treasure. comprising
gold coins. plate, and jewels. said to
have been buried by Bcni,o, a notorious
eighteenth century pirate. and Captain
Schmid, who was freebooter In a ANAL
way of business some years later.
Benito captured Spanish gold ships
and raided the coast or Spanish Amer
lea, making repeated trips TO Cocos to
store his wealth in rocky caverns. He
blew out his brains while being pursued
by the British gunboat Esplegle.
In 1903 Admiral ST. Leger Pnlliscr for
merly commander-in-chief OF the British
Pacific squadron. searched for the treas
ures of Cocos island-and was unsuccess-
lam and Admiral Palliser led similar
and equally unsuccessful expedition.
Some OF Earl Fitzwilliam's laborers
were killed by a premature dynamite ex-
ploson.
Mrs. Barry Till and Miss Davis who
are sisters organized the expedition re-
ferred 10 in the above telegram, after
visiting Cocos Island last year, when
they were said to have discovered the
cavern containing at least part OF the
hidden treasure.
They returned with maps, which were
placed at the disposal of a syndicate,
and the steamship Melmore formerly a
Great Western cross-channel boat, was
chartered TO take the treasure hunters TO
the Pacific.
The Mclmore left Barry last autumn
for Panama. where the ladies joined her,
and proceeded TO the island. Special per-
mission to search for the treasure had
been given them by the Costa Rican gov
crnment, which owns Cocos Island.

A Practical Fact
The French air fleet is very real and
very practical fact. It's chief Inspector,
Colonel Iiirschaucr, told mo not long ago
that the improvement every six months
was remarkable. There is no longer any
difficulty in finding pilots. Each years
conscrpts provide more pilots than the
air fleet needs.
There Is a very emphatic surprise
among army airmen here that Great
Britain has done so litc, and is doing
so little to provide itself with an air
fleet Germany is doing a great deal.
Where Germany at present has tho ad-
vantage over France is In the sheds for

wonderfully systematic provision for

long been a favorite New England dish.
1t is made by cutting the meat into
strips of suitable size, sailing them for
several days and then boiling them in
weak vinegar with a quantity OF spices.
This preparation was packed in wooden
kegs. The recipes for picking sturgeon
were well guarded in old families. In
1883 William Thomas petitiOned the Bos-
ton court for protection in the business
Of picking sturgeon.
Most of the sturgeon sold in the United
States is smoked. although certain
cific coast. is preserved by cold storage.
Smoked sturgeon is in greatest demand
among the German residents of large
cities. The business Of smoking stur-
geon was begun In 1857 in New York.
For years a million pounds or more of
smoked sturgeon were produced annually
in this country. Sturgeon smoking along
the great lakes began In 1865 and is still
carried on TO some extent nothwithstand-
ing the present scarcity of sturgeon.
Smoked sturgeon must not be kept in
cold storage because of it's tendency to
mold.
The scarcity of sturgeon in this country
has led to the substitution of other fish
eggs in manufacturing caviar. The
spoonbll catfish, also known as the pad
die fish, belongs to the sturgeon family.
1t is plentiful i'm some parts of the Mis-
sissippi river. Within the last five years
an important industry has sprung UP I'm
the manufacture of caviar from paddle
fish roe. This caviar has won several of
the highest awards in recent world S
eXpositions. Eggs from shad and the
horseshoe crab are being made into ac-
ceptable caviar. and garfish eggs also are
used. These last are not so good in the
opinion of epicureS and they usually have
an offensive odor.

DISCOVERY OF RECORDS
OF TEMPLE OF LEARNING
First School in World in Operation
in Southern Babylonia
5000 B. C.

PHILADELPHIA. September ~. -
Records of the first temple of learning
in the world, where the original expo
nents of the liturgical system congregat.i,
have just been discovered by Prof.
Stephen Herbert Langdon. professor II
assyriology in oxford, who is now in-
vestigating the Nippur collection of the
University of Pennsylvania. The tablets
We're collected i'm three expeditions -
Nippur, in the southern part of Baby
lonia.
II have ascertained from my exam
ination of the tablets that priests had
a school in the temple of Nippur as early
as 300 Ii. &. and that this school ex-
listed about Loco years said DR. Lang
don.
ITO these priests is due the liturgieal
system which spread throughout Baby
lonia and Assyria and influenced Greece
and Rome They were opponents of :,
great university, the most important
center of learning J believe II was the
first school of learning. and for that
reason the University OF Pennsylvania
collection which discioses the presence
of this university, is of the greatest value
To scholars.
'The discovery will establish more
clearly in the minds of scholars the fact
that the origin OF religious orders cN-
listed in ancient antiquity and that a
very important religious order existed at
the temple near Nippur.
