NEW INVENTION MAY RECOVER
LOST TREASURERS

In the January American Magazine
appears an account of a new invention
by which moving pictures are now
taken under the sea. A new world is
thus opened to oceanographers and
treasure seekers by this invvntion
which is in actual use. The device for
going down into the sea was made by
Charles Williamson, a sea captain of
Norfolk, Virginia; and hi stwo sons
conceived the idea Of using the device
as a means Of taking moving pictures.
The article describes just how moving
pictures have been taken of sharks
and other sea life. The Williamsons
claim that with their invention it will
be possible to recover lost treasures
from the bottom of the sea. An ac-
count Of these treasures is partially
Indicated by the following extract
from tn earticle:
"In addition to its scientific and pho
geographic value the Williamson deep
sea tube has many other practical ap-
plications. One has only to read the
list of treasure ships foundered in
fairly shallow waters to realize what
a fascinating field of profit there is.
On the African coast alone according
to one authority, there is an imposing
list Of treasure wrecks, including the
Wilhelm der Zweiter which went down
with three thousand seven hundred
bars of silevr the Hancoop with two
hundred tons Of copper, the Wilhel-
nina with thirty boxes of silver and
gold, the Harlem II with a cargo of
silver bars and the Scholelorredraayer
with a large cargo of ivory.
Captain Williamson himself COM
piled a long list of treasure wrecks
in other parts of the world, the most
important being the following: The
General Grant foundered on Auckland
in only fuorteen fathoms of water
with a cargo of gold valued at 81 $780,
600 ;the Florencian wrecked in the
Bay of T~obermory with a cargo of
gold and silver coins worth $15,000,-
900; the Malabar foundered near
Shanghai, cargo of gold 1,500, 900;
the Hussar off Atlantic coast near
New York cargo of gold $%5,000.O06;
the Lizard lea Cornwall, cargo of
gold $4,000, 900; the San Pedro in
Margarita Channel off Central Ameri-
can coast, cargo Of golden images and
precious stones, $4,000, 900; the
Thunderbolt off Thunderbolt Reef
$22'25O 900; and finally the famous
fleet of galleons sunk in Vigo harbol
cargo Of ogld and silver 100000 900

CRISIS is
DISCUSSED BY CABINET

Washington, Aug. 4.-Today's cabi-
net meeting was devoted almost en-
tirely to discussions Of the European
crisis and the relief of the Americans
abroad,
Secretary McAdoo brought up the
subject of an international clearing
house association in which the United
States and European nations should
hold membership as one method by
which this country might insure the
disposition of its wheat and cotton
crops in foreign markets. With the
banks of the country fortified with mill
lions of additional currency, officials
feel that the immediate problem is to
show how to take care of the crops.
The establishment Of an international
association and the resumption of
trade. 1t was pointed out, would not
only result in the sale OF American
crops but would tend to bring back to
the United States much of the gold re-
Gently exported.
